Two weeks after the original announcement of federal
government poncy calling for the compulsory removal of
Japanese and other enemy nationals from the British Col
umbia coast the actual retails are still far from clear. Out of
the contusion of reports and “scare” stories however the pic
ture is becoming plainer. Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s
statement, promised in the House, is expected to outline offi
cially some of the details.
It seems clear that as well as the enforced "removal”
the government is anxious to push its "voluntary civilian
corps ; and to do its utmost to secure the "voluntarv” cooperahon of naturalized and natural-born citizens of Japancse origin.

Some Types OF Trade Unions
Tp^ past issues we have used terms like ‘‘local ’ and “branch”
, when waiting about trade union organization. No doubt
. these terms have been somewhat confusing. To make this
- matter clear we shall outline the structure of trade unions in
of a this issue.
;n or
/ We must mention in the first place that not all unions
ulent have the same form of organization. Some have their locals
established in each plant like the International Brotherhood of
Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers with its Local 312 at
. Ocean Falls and Local 76 at PowelK River. These locals are
chartered by the head office in Fort Edward, New' York, and
are recognized as the bargaining agency of the men coming
undei theii juiisdiction in the plant. The labour agreements
are negotiated and signed by representatives of the local and
the officers from the head offfice who act on behalf of the
workers, and the representatives of the company. This union
is. affiliated with the American Federation of Labor in the
FCT! United
States and the Trades and Labour Congress in Canada.

Some Types OF Trade Unions
Tp^ past issues we have used terms like ‘‘local ’ and “branch”
, when waiting about trade union organization. No doubt
. these terms have been somewhat confusing. To make this
- matter clear we shall outline the structure of trade unions in
of a this issue.
;n or
/ We must mention in the first place that not all unions
ulent have the same form of organization. Some have their locals
established in each plant like the International Brotherhood of
Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers with its Local 312 at
. Ocean Falls and Local 76 at PowelK River. These locals are
chartered by the head office in Fort Edward, New' York, and
are recognized as the bargaining agency of the men coming
undei theii juiisdiction in the plant. The labour agreements
are negotiated and signed by representatives of the local and
the officers from the head offfice who act on behalf of the
workers, and the representatives of the company. This union
is. affiliated with the American Federation of Labor in the
FCT! United
States and the Trades and Labour Congress in Canada.
