VICTORIA
(CP)
Frank
Hall's
anti-communistic
forces
in
the
Trades
and
Labor
Congress
of
Canada
wrung
a
partial
victory
out
of
the
Congress'
annual
convention
yesterday.
After
a
day-long
battle
over
communism
In
the
Congress,
Hall
won
assurance
that
his
suspended
union
the
Brotherhood
of
Railway
and
Steamship
Clerks
would
be
readmitted
to
the
T.L.C.
The
Brotherhood
had
been
suspended
for
not
repudiating
a
move
by
Hall
aimed
at
crushing
the
Canadian
Seamen's
Union,
a
Congress
affiliate,
re
putedly
dominated
by
Reds.
Last
night,
after
a
5y2-hour
debate
over
Hall's
action,
the
Corijfress
voted
strongly
in
favor
of
endorsing
the
T.L.C.
executive's
suspension
of
the
Brotherhood.
An
unofficial
,
tabulation
showed
that
the
Coo-
vciwic
uaaiwviiiK
otai
u;u,
lira
executive
assured
the
convention
that
it
would
later
support
a
moUon
to
lift
the
suspension
imediately
once
it
got
a
vote
of
confidence.
However,
executive
members
said
this
step
would
also
involve
some
form
of
"cen-
sure"
for
Hall
personally.
The
nature
of
this
has
not
yet
been
defined.
turn
would
be
practically'
guaranteed.
I
4.
A
minimum
of
at
least
200
new
homes
Is
required
to
house
the
increase
and
these
houses
must
be
completed
not
later
than
the
summer
of
1950,
which
would
mean
the
beginning
of
construction
in
the
immediate
future.
5.
New
housing
should
be
of
a
permanent
nature
and
of
a
higher
quality
than
the
Wartime
Housing
scheme
completed
during
the
war.
It
must
be
based
on
the
fact
that
the
people
occupying
them
will
be
permanent
residents,
a
large
part
of
whom
will
be
highly
paid
technicians
and
will
require
not
necessarily
expensive
homes,
but
a
belter
type
of
home.
"We
have
met
with
D.
G.
Stenstrom
in
his
capacity
as
co-ordinator
and
general
manager
of
the
Celanese
Corporation
operation,"
the
report
slated.
"He
advises
us
that
the
mill
will
employ
300
to
400
steady
employees.
All
of
these
are
expected
to
live
in
Eiiiw
Rupert
and
some
part
of
them
will,
of
course,
be
hired
from
the
present
population.
"However,
due
to
the
experience
necessary
In
the
celanese
Operation,
approximately
150
new
families
will
be
brought
In.
Mr.
Stenstrom
advises
us
that
the
mill
expects
to
be
in
operation
on,
or'
about,
September,
1950."

of

consult

to
aid
