Japanese Canadians Will Use
Their Provincial Franchise on
June Is, Day of B. c. Election

of the Nisei are still minors and a
good number of the Issei are not
naturalized.
1t remains to be seen whether can
didates will seek The Oriental vote
by campaign directed towards that
end such as speaking to these groups
or having members of these newly
enfranchised people take part in
their electioneering. The riding to
watch for this is one in which Van
couver's Chinatown is located. Being
the largest community of its kind
in Canada, it represents a good
number of votes.
Although the japanese Canadians
are scattered through the Interior,
candidates in rulings which contain
such communities as Greenwood or
Kamloops are likely to solicit their
support.
1t will be interesting to note if
any Nisei will take part in the pre-
election campaigns.

The New Canadian

TORONTO, Ont, Canada, May 7
Japanese Canadians, along with
native Indians and Canadians of
other Oriental extraction in British
Columbia, will have an opportunity
to exercise their provincial fran
chise on June Is. Last Tuesday
MAY 81 was the closing date for
registration. Nominations will close
on Wednesday, May rs.
Although Chinese Canadians and
East Indians were granted the vote
last year, this will be their first
occasion to cast ballots with the ex-
ception of those who voted in 1913
by-elections, as l945 was the year
of B. C.'s last general election.
100000 Voters
It has been estimated that there
are now 100000 eligible voters in
B. c. as compared to 100000 in
l945. However, only minor portion
Of the 10000 increase is attribute
BILE to the extension of the franchise.
Most of the new voters are those
who migrated to B. C. from the
prairies lured by higher wages and
milder climate. Ex-servicemen from
other parts of Canada stationed on
the Pacific Coast during wartime
and remaining there upon discharge,
immigration from Europe and nat
ural increase are other factors con-
tributing 10 the swelled voters lists.
While no exact figures on the
number Of eligible Japanese Cana
dian voters IN B. C. are available,
1000 would be a reasonable estimate.
Although there are 5000 persons of
Japanese ancestry in the western
most province, high proportion

LOCAL ! STILL NEGOTIATING
WITH SALMON INDUSTRY

WITH SALMON INDUSTRY
After turning down a contract
offered by the salmon industry,
Local 7 Negotiating Committee is
still negotiating for a l949 Agree
ment which is expected to be a
much better contract than what the
AFL union has already signed. The
AFL Union signed the contract Of
tered by the industry one day after
1t was offered without consulting
the 100 members under their iuris-
diction. This contract turned down
by Local 7 Eta Is worse contract
than what they had last year with
no wage increase, and for the hiring
and lining up of men to be in the
hands of the cannery Foremen,
Local 7 Eta attacked the AFL con-
tract as step backward to the days
of the contracting system when
workers had TO buy their Jobs from
contractors or Foremen.
Local 7 Negotiating Committee
and the industry has already agreed
in principle of the hiring procedure
and that 1t is necessary for men
who desire to work in the canneries
this year must register at the Union
office Fifteen DAYS before sailing
date of the respective cannery
crews the industry agreed to notify
the Union and also the reqllisitioned
number of men,
1t is therefore important that the
l948 men must now register at the
Union office, 22l Second Avenue

SENATOR MILLER
 DIES SUDDENLY AT WASHINGTON HOME

WASHINGTON, Oct 8.--iR- U. s. Senator Bert Henry Miller, 70, Idaho Democrat, died of heart att tack at his home here at 8 an. today.
 Miller was elected to the Senate last November in the sweep that saw the Democrats recapture con- trol of Congress and elect President Truman.
 His defeat of Republican Senator Henry c. Dworshak helped to give the Democrats the 54 to AZ edge they held in the Senate at the be- ginning of this session. Since then the margin has been cut to 53 to 43 through the resignation of Sen ator Wagner D-NY) and the ap- pointment of John Foster Dulles, a Republican, to succeed him.
 Presumably Miller's death will mean the loss of another seat for his party, since Idahos Gov. c. A.. Robins, who will name a successor, is a Republican. This would leave the Democrats with 52 to A mar gin.

 Lopat took bulging so lead into the sixth inning before the Dodgers aroused the sellout crowd of 33.934 by knocking out Lopat with seven singles in a four-run inning.
 Then came Reynalds. the oft-re- lieved, to turn in sparkling relief job that rivalled Joe Pages effort of yesterday.
 Walking in with the tying run on first base and two out in the sixth, Allie curled a third called strike past pinch hitter Spider Jor- gersen to end the big Brook threat.
 Banta walked Rizzuto and allow ed a single by Heinrich starting the Yank ninth. Campanella then pick ed Rizzuto off third base with q fine peg and Banta escaped without any New York scoring.
