Boycott Will Bring Victory, Says Neale
In the wake of the B.C. Federation of Labor's recent declaration that California grapes are hot and should not be handled by trade unionists in this province, a Vancouver labor leader visited the Coachella valley southeast of Los Angeles to view at first hand some aspects of the long struggle by agricultural workers in the state to win elementary union rights and conditions.
C. P. (Paddy) Neale, secretary of Vancouver Labor Council, was one of 50 Canadians who visited grape growing areas at the invitation of the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee.
On his return this week he reported the international boycott of California grapes is having its effect. If it is maintained, he said, the big growers eventually will be forced to negotiate with the farm workers.
The Canadian group met farm workers in their homes, on picket lines and at union meetings, Neale said.
CONDITIONS "ATROCIOUS'
"We ate with the workers and didn't run into anv of those sirloin steaks Tom Campbell saw," he reported. He was referring to Vancouver mayor Tom Campbell who visited California last year at the invitation of state governor Ronald Reagan and returned with glowing accounts of conditions in the fields.
Neale described some living accommodations provided for the workers as "atrocious." One large family he met paid $75 a month rent for one room without water, electricity or plumbing.
The federation's declaration that all California grapes are hot is an extension of the consumers* boycott launched by farm workers in major North American and European cities. EUROPEAN BOYCOTT
A number of transport workers' unions in Europe already are refusing to handle California grapes. Union members in Sweden, largest European importer of California grapes in 1968, refused to unload the produce from ships in Swedish ports.
In Norway, transport workers decided to boycott all grape shipments loaded after January 31 this year. Similar action reportedly has been taken or is planned in other countries.
In Vancouver, wholesale merchants Slade and Stewart of 400 Prior Street asked for a court order requiring the federation to withdraw its hot goods declaration. Counsel for the firm said the boycott is illegal and contravenes Bill 43.
The injunction was granted to the employer in B.C. Supreme Court on June 11.

U.S. Takeovers Near Point of No Return
Canada is rapidly approaching a "point of no return" in the field of controlling its own economic and political destiny, New Democratic Party national leader T. C. (Tommy) Douglas said in Calgary last week.
Noting that Canada already possesses the dubious distinction of having more of its economy owned outside its borders than any other country, Douglas warned political domination inevitably follows economic control.
And, he pointed out, the rate of U.S. takeovers of Canadian companies is accelerating alarmingly.
Douglas said the U.S. now owns 64 percent of Canadian manufacturing firms and 75 percent of this country's oil and gas industry.
The federal Combines Investigation Branch of the consumer and corporate affairs department
reported recently that a record 159 Canadian companies were taken over by foreign firms last year. Foreign takeovers numbered 85 in 1967, 86 in 1966, 70 in 1965, 76 in 1964 and 37 in 1963.
The speeded up American takeover of Canadian industry is attributed in part to the increased pace of mergers and takeovers in the United States itself. About 4,450 merger deals in the U.S. last year represented a 50 percent increase over 1967 and a 100 percent increase over 1966.
Domestic takeovers in Canada declined from 152 to 96 between 1961 and 1963 and increased to 230 last year.
Corporate profits, meanwhile, almost match the pace of U.S. takeovers. Total profits before tax in the last three months of 1968 amounted to $4,642,000,000, up 25 percent from the comparable period a year earlier.

Defamation Appeal Lost
B.C. Court of Appeal last week upheld a $3,500 award for alleged defamation in a case arising out of the bitter dispute at Lenkurt Electric Company's plant in Burn-aby three years ago.
The award was made to Teamsters Union president Ed Lawson on the basis of comments found to have been made by IWA Vancouver Local president Syd Thompson.
Thompson allegedly made the comments at a Vancouver Labor Council meeting in 19 6 6 after Lawson was said to have been invited to the Lenkurt premises by management to view films taken of the picket line outside the plant.
Thompson earlier was found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court of defaming Lawson by referring to the Teamsters Union official's actions as those of a "Judas."
Jail terms of up to six months and fines of up to $500 were imposed in 1966 on about 20 unionists identified as participants in the Lenkurt dispute. A number of company employees also were blacklisted.
Vancouver Labor Council last November voted to set up a defence fund to meet costs incurred in the lawsuit. The council and the B.C. Federation of Labor earlier had agreed to share certain legal costs in the case.
Both groups took the step because the fight by Lenkurt employees had been supported officially by the council and the federation and Thompson's remarks were thought to have expressed the views of those organizations.
Council secretary C. P. (Paddy) Neale said this week that local unions to date have donated some $3,000 to the defence fund.
Contributions have come from various unions in the lower mainland and other areas of the province, Neale said.
