CANADIAN INSTITUTE of Public Opinion I otherwise known as the Gallup Poll of Canada, ' recently took a sample poll of the public across the Dominion, and these questions were asked: Do you inink communism is a very serious threat, a fairly serious threat, or no threat at all, to our form . of government here in Canada? ' Thirty-four per cent thought it was a very serious threat, 33 per cent felt it was a fairly serious threat, and the remaining 33 per cent either thought it was viU'no threat.at all, or had.no opinion. .., The,poll showed that 67 per cent though it was a threat to the Canadian way of life, and the 34 per" - "'cfenFwfro thought it was a very serious threat, be-' Mvedihat Communists dominate the Labour unions. ; This is a very powerful warning to unions, when over qne third of the population is antagonistic, to labour unions because of Communistic domination, "' t as unless' the unions win the sympathy of the population to their legitimate aims to better conditions i; -for the workers the cause of the unions is either hopeless, or itvprecipitates violent disputes with employers during the course of which evrybody sufcfers If; he .argument is used that those who believe that unions are Communst dominated and control-' led, 'belong to the employing or capitalist class, that is ridiculous, for the employing class does not come anywhere near 34 per cent; it is. a very much lower percentage.

But it isn't any wonder why a large section of the general public believes, that unions are Communist controlled, when it observes some of the methods .used by unions in disputes with employers , and reckless disregard for others rights. In British Columbia thereis a new labor law, providing, for the regulating of employer-employee re-lationsjn that province. Certain procedure must be usedJ$forea strike can be .authorized. Heavy penalties-are set in case of .an illegal strike, up to a maamm of fifty dollars fine per day for each worker, on strike. Oir iune 9 a Canadian Congress of Labor Laundry Workers Union went on strike illegally; twenty-two women workers were convicted and fined, one dollar fine, and one dollar costs. Encouraged by this veiy loV penalty, a large wood workers union now announces through its national director that it in- tejids to disregard the law, and will pay no attention tdit in connection with the .union's relations """with the employers. In effect the director said they were going to use union methods, law or no law,:an'd ., the union would go its own way in an emergency This is sheer defiance . ; for the rights of the public, and a bold and brazen challenge to the authorities. If the Province of Brit- ish Columbia does not deal firmly with this threat of defiance, then it might just as well hand over the powerjof government to these unions, for that in effeis the attitude of the unions. They assume heyare bigger than the law, bigger than public frights; only their interests matter and in the de--fenseof democratic self-government, B.C. must Beach the truism that law is the cement holding the ibody politic together, and unions like every jjptherigroup in the community come under the law or tajenalized for its violation,, and the rights of "oth'ejf'.citizens and groups must be protected by the government as the representative of all; against such brazen defiance and flaunting of law, govern-"""hientfimhori ty, and citizens rights. THIS AND THAT ,,i , "'Gut George, when I told you we were expecting a visitor at - . ? -our. house, I meant my mother is coming." CORONER STAKES ISSUE Editor, Dally News: Your news Item -under the heading "Health Officer Refutes Rider to Jury. Verdict" in your issue of September "22 would appear to suggest that the Jury had exaggerated conditions found on August 29 last, at theGrandvlew Hotel. When .on August .28 1 was notified,: as coroner. that a death had occurred at the hotel in question, 1 found, on .arrival not only an unkemptrroom in which Mr..Jardine had died, but. an.un-kempt house, to say he least With .the ihelp of the two officers then In the iiouse I tried in vain to contact the medical health officer and the sanitary inspector to report conditions Both 3 believe were out of the city. The death was reported Aug ust 28; the Inquest was held August 29. That .conditions had not improved since the report- ins of the death was attested by the signatures of .six good men and true chosen as Jurors by. or under the direction of Sgt. Potterton. The inspection refer red to as having been made by the Health Officer, Sanitary In spector and the Sergeant was made on September 5, a whole week after the finding of the Jury and the publication of the verdict. Surely ample time was given to prepare for this inspection. I am advised by the City Clerk that '!in view of this ire-port, no action has been taken by the council." But Sgt. Potterton goes further and .according to your report which I .quote: "Sgt Potterton reported that this room was cluttered and unkempt the day the dtxth was reported but that on the sameday he had in spected other rooms In the build- ingjind found them as clean as at the present Inspection:" May I ask, .did the Sergeant inspect the hall leading from the front door to the stairs, the stairs and the long hall between the rooms upstairs? Did -ve inspect the toilet 'upstairs with its door standing wide open both, on the 28 a,nd.29,.wlth its litter and dirt?: Was; .there .a light ol any kind other than the litta day light through small windows at either end lof the:hall? Is he so deficient" In Che senses both of sight and smell that he believed the place .to be clean? If the Orandview Hotel has been brought ;lnto a sanitary condition then theabjectof the Jury has been attained. None, I believe had any "Axe to grind," and judgment :may well be left tothe people of Prince Rupert to decide whether the credit is due !the Jury named below, or any official ,of the city for any improvement made. Certainly the members, of. .the . Jury should be commended for their publlc-spirltedness.We need those :men and more .like them. They are: Don Forward, foreman; R. E. Benson, Peter McCormack. Verne Moore, Joseph Delinks, Thomas Pesut. Thank you 'Mr. Editor. M. M. STEPHENS. "GLAD TtDINCb The word gospel formerly meant good story or;glad tidings. CHLORLNATION Editor, Dally News: We are fortunate In Prince Rupert to have a District Health ) I Officer. One whose duty it is to see that our DeoDle are nro- tected irom epidemics If at all possible. One way of doing this Is to chlorinate the water being consumed. (Although all this is common knowledge there seems to he a great deal of concern among our citizens. I myself fell that Dr. Xane Is far better equipped to say whether there should be chlorlnation or not than either "One Against Chlorlnation," Alderman Brooksbank or any other number of people too numerous to menUon. Why do we bother to have a Health. Inspector if we don't follow his suggestions? Surely chlorlnation is not so poisonous as some believe or we would .not "LAUGH .OFF" Editor, Daily News: Your editorial in Sept. 18th Issue or quote, "Laugh It Off." caused me to write. First I would like to know Just what you meant bv th trifle? you.frpoke of which you say could be dlfpelled by laughing it ofr. Let me tell you heie and now that what you or other, people may call trifles are very serious matters to seme of us. Another thin I'd like to know I is how can we go on laughing' things off as you so kindly put it and better our conditions for ourselves and families. It seems to me the present government is following your policy a little1 too closely and one of these: days they will be fighting It off instead. You had better put yourself In some of our shoes and see what kind. of a laugh you would give. I can name several cases besides my 'own that I would like to see you or anyone else who has any common sense to laugh, off. Disgusted Mother Mrs. Verna Scully. Doreon.
