Hepburn out Of the foreground to
make way for Dominion intervention.
The workers went on record "as re-
fusing to conduct any negotiations as
long as Premier Hepburn is party

hawa and other c. l. o. units, was
trying to establish himself as q "po-
litical and economic dictator" in Cam
ada and the United States.
The General Motors employees reso-

Hepburn would deprive al workers
Of their last resort in an industrial
dispute, namely the right to strike"
