Occidental Fishermen Say ...
(From the trade journal, “The Fisherman,” Nov. 25).
The New Canadian, a publication for second generation
Japanese, is publishing a series of articles on the trade union
movement, and in its issue of November 21, gives to the Japan
ese workers a clear understanding of the term “collective
bargaining.”
... . To the best of our knowledge it is the first Japanese
publication which at least shows interest in pointing out to the
Japanese in the fishing industry the need for a progressive
trade union.
We can only reiterate our remarks in previous issues to
the effect that the young Japanese should accept the lead given
them in their paper and accept the responsibility, which is
rightfully theirs, of organizing fishermen and cannery workers
into bona fide democratic trade unions.
The measure of co-operation obtained by white cannery
workers, who want organization, was poor as far as their Jap
anese co-workers were concerned. Until they arouse from
their lethargy the Japanese workers must realize that, whether
they admit it or not, they remain a threat to the betterment
of living and working conditions, so desired by the white
workers.

Niseis are ardent bowlers- so why shouldn't they have a league in
winter as well as in the spring? Tad Kondo and Mas Isoshima, two topnotch bowlers, cooked up an idea of an all male 5-Pin Bowling League,
provided alleys are available. The Commodore has definitely no alleys
for rent; but there are vacancies at both the De Luxe and at Pender, although the times are not definite.
This is a winter league and will not in any way affect the Nisei Spring

at 7:30 p.m.
