to the UFAWU that all Native fishermen and shoreworkers be turned over to the Native Brotherhood. This of course you will not agree to, that I am sure.
In the many years that we have been associated, I have been personally cooperative. Being at the helm of this organisation now I can see that it is a direct aim on your part to eliminate the Native Brotherhood by signing up all the Natives into the Union. This is truly cutting our lifeline or blood line.
I am quite prepared that we meet together, you and I to discuss the matter, providing you are prepared to concede to the justice of our claim.
I trust that Buck Suzuki gave you my message, before I made the press statement in Prince Rupert.
GUY R. WILLIAMS, President,
Native Brotherhood of BC. * * ★
Union Sets Forth Overall Policy
OCTOBER 4, 1961
Native Brotherhood of BC. Attention: Mr. Guy Williams. Dear Guy:
Your letter of September 7 in reply to ours of August 30 has been considered by a meeting of our general executive board and instructions were given to answer your remarks.
First, may we state that in the opinion of our general executive board, a joint meeting to discuss the existing and future relationships of the Union and the Brotherhood is preferable to an exchange of correspondence. We are always willing to sit around a table with your executive to consider mutual problems and to reach mutually acceptable agreements. Our board is still willing to arrange such a meeting, despite your rejection of such talks.
Secondly, we must also make it perfectly clear we have no intention of complying with your request that Native Union members "be turned over to the Native Brotherhood". You are absolutely correct in assuming we will not agree to make such a recommendation to the Union.
UNION  REJECTS  RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
Members of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union enjoy equal rights under our constitution. We cannot refuse membership

or cancel membership in our Union on grounds of racial or national background. We would be guilty of the worst form of racial discrimination and segregationist policy if we ever attempted the type of action suggested in your letter.
Our Union is proud of our long record of struggle against all forms of racial discrimination. We are equally proud of the role our Union has played in the improvement of living standards and working conditions of all fishermen and allied workers in the province of British Columbia. We are pleased* to note the increasing numbers of Native fishermen and allied workers who are joining our Union in order to take their rightful places in deciding Union policy. We believe the Native Brotherhood of BC should welcome these developments rather than speaking out in opposition to trade union membership in respect to Natives.
Your letter implies that only since becoming president of the Brotherhood have you become aware of certain aims on the part of the Union. May we point out that our aims have been very clearly and openly stated to the annual conventions of the Brotherhood for many years. If you will search the records of the Brotherhood, you will find our policy statements in writing dating back several years.
DON'T ACCEPT INTERPRETATION OF AIMS
Of course we do not accept your interpretation of our aims. To imply that we aim "to eliminate the Native Brotherhood by signing up all the Natives into the Union" is to distort our aims. Such distortion will not conceal the fact that when Natives join our Union we consistently advise them to also retain membership in the Brotherhood.
It may also be factually stated that many Native fishermen and allied workers, having joined our Union, tend to ignore this advice and drop out of the Brotherhood. The prime responsibility for this tendency rests upon those leaders of the Brotherhood, past and present, who condemn Natives for joining our Union. Natives who join the Union and have tried to retain Brotherhood membership have been called "bigamists." They have been told they "cannot serve two masters." They have been condemned for "splitting the Brotherhood."
Our Union has distinctly stated that it is not "bigamy" to join two or more organisations. We have made it clear that our members are masters of their Union, not vice versa. We have encouraged Native Union members to belong to the Brotherhood. We do not consider it Union splitting when a Native displays Brotherhood, as well as Union membership.
You may well recall our letter to you of June 2, 1960. This was six months prior to your election as president. We will quote the pertinent section of our letter regarding Union membership for Natives: "First, as you are well aware from attending our conventions, as well as conventions of Brotherhood, we have stated our position quite openly. We have long favored the idea that Native fishermen and allied workers should belong to the Union as well as to the Native Brotherhood of BC. In our opinion, the Union can do the best job for all workers in the industry, in terms of collective bargaining, simply because it unites workers of all races, colors, and creeds. We have felt that the role of the Brotherhood should primarily be to take up the issues of discrimination where they occur, social welfare, political rights, etc. You will recall we raised this question very thoroughly at the Native Brotherhood convention in March of 1960. We do not recall you making any point of difference with us in this respect. In fact, at the convention of our Union this year we assumed from what you said you were in agreement with some changes taking place in the very near future. I would like to refer to the exchange which took place during our annual convention in March at the Clinton Hall.
CONVENTION EXCHANGE BETWEEN STEVENS, WILLIAMS
" 'Homer Stevens: This organisation is big enough for all the differences that might exist politically, from the standpoint of our national, racial backgrounds, religion or anything else. The day I want to see is when Brother Guy Williams is sitting on the floor of this convention as a delegate and perhaps at some time being elected to the general executive board to help us to frame the policy of the organisation throughout the year.'
" 'Guy Williams: Thank you, Homer. I just want to say that in previous conventions and one convention particularly, I said, when the day comes that you give me the federal vote, and I was very blunt about it, there will be no further need for the Native Brotherhood to be in the fishing industry. That is what I meant, because we will divert our other activities toward raising the standard of our people by appearing or by canvassing and possibly by bulldozing some candidates that are running in the federal, but not only that, we will be able to canvass them or lobby your members, and the day is here.'
"This brings us to our second point, and that is, at no time have you indicated you were opposed to Natives belonging to the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union. In fact, from the statement you made when you were speaking to our convention as a representative of the Native Brotherhood of BC we assumed you were in favor, particularly now that the Native Brotherhood members have the federal vote as well as the provincial vote, of them being members of the Union in the fishing industry.
"In conclusion, may we state that we have not changed our opinions of the best way to solve the problems of all the fishermen and allied workers including those who are Natives. We still think their place, and this includes your place, Brother Williams, would be in the Union which unites all of the working people in the industry, irrespective of religion, national or racial background, politics or anything else.
"We know that the big companies do not separate themselves out because of any of these differences they might have, and we see no reason why there should be any differences of organisation in terms of collective bargaining insofar as working people are concerned.
"If they were all united under one roof for collective bargaining, they would make very good progress, certainly better than they would be making under separate jurisdictions or separate roofs. We are also sure that if this were once done, the Native Brotherhood of BC could concentrate its full energy on the job it was originally formed to do, which should be of benefiit to Natives in that direction."
"We would be only too pleased to discuss this matter with you any time that you are able to meet with us." This rather lengthy quotation from our letter of June 2, 1960, proves clearly it is not our Union which has changed its basic policy.
SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED IN TRADE UNIONISM
We believe you can best serve the Native people by encouraging them to be good trade unionists as well as by providing leadership in the struggle.for full equality as Canadians and for full recognition of the special rights of Natives in regard to land, resources and national customs, traditions and culture. Our Union is alwajrs willing to lend our support to the Native people of British Columbia in achieving justice.
On the other hand, we cannot understand why you, or any other Brotherhood representative, should advocate or publicise the idea that a Native who joins the trade union in his or her industry is lost to the Brotherhood. To do so is harmful to the Brotherhood on two counts.
First, it cuts off the possibility of the Brotherhood being the major organisation of Natives in BC. Obviously the Natives in the IWA, Pulp and Sulphite Union, Building Trades unions, Engineers and other unions are lost to your organisation if you continue to adopt such an attitude. Secondly, it suggests to Natives in the fishing industry that your organisation is basically and primarily in existence to bargain for wages, prices and conditions of employment. Thus, when they realise that one strong union, embracing all workers regardless of race, color, religion or political opinion stands a better chance with regard to collective bargaining, they are apt to turn their backs on the Brotherhood permanently.
UFAWU ONLY ONE TO RECOGNISE BROTHERHOOD CARD
Our Union remains the only Union in BC which recognises a Native Brotherhood card as an alternative to a Union card. All the others insist upon dues payments and union membership for Native workers. We trust you appreciate our policy is based upon mutual respect and understanding.
Our Union will continue to organise Native fishermen and allied workers within our trade union jurisdiction. We will continue to form locals of our Union where the number of members justify same.
Our Union is in favor of a strong Brotherhood of Natives in the province of BC. We will continue to advise Natives in our Union to support the Brotherhood because we believe there is a vital need for an organisation which will take up their special national problems.
The extent to which the Brotherhood can benefiit from our assistance, as outlined above, therefore depends primarily on the policy advocated by you and the balance of the Brotherhood leadership.
We desire friendly, fraternal relationships with your organisation. Our desire is based upon the knowledge that friendly cooperation is of benefit to the membership of our Union and of the Brotherhood.
Mutual friendship and close fraternal bonds cannot be maintained only by our Union's efforts. Your policy, your statements and your desire for mutual understanding also have great bearing on the strength of such fraternal relationships.
We sincerely hope you will strive to improve Union-Brotherhood cooperation along the lines you have indicated when you spoke to our conventions on so many occasions.
HOMER STEVENS, Secretary treasurer, United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union.
