- The cure, ‘ '-_U.‘P.'E‘.1-_ V

Before the massive labor demonstration on Parliament Hill on March 22, the Liber— al Trudeau government, as well as the capitalist press, tried to maintain th- at it was only the leaders of the labor movement who were against wage controls. The massive turnout proved quite clearly that that was not true. .

The capitalists, their government, and their press were trying to drive a wedge between the rank and file and their leaders in an at- tempt to create labor dis- unity. That failed.

Never before has labor been so united from coast t9 coast. That demonstrati— on was the symbol of the be- ginning of labor's great fight-back; the class war is now obvious and out front characterizing every event 7 in this country and determi— ning its context and outcome.

Two days after the his— torical demonstration the Canadian Labor Congress, led by Joe Morris, withdrew from .the Canadian Labor Relations Board (C.L.R.B.), and the Economic Council of Canada~ (E.C.C.). The latter had come out in favor of wage controls even before the go- vernment!

If you would like a per— fect analogy, consider the UPEI student representation on Senate! Baker will argue of course, that students "have a say" — and he's right;'but what good is a say if it fails to have Decisive influence?

To you student senators- all 5 of you— let us ask you' what policies you are succe— ssful in initiating from Senate?

After you've had your "SAY", what happens when I the vote is taken: what do— es your minority §é§_amount to then? Where are the pol— icies you have brought about FOR students?

We can hear Baker and Co. now, if the student senators were to boycott the UPEI se— nate, that they are "snubbi-

"that they are "cut— ting off their only means to protect their interests;" and similar tripe - the same tripe the government and its kept press is saying about the C.L.C.! ‘

But the C.L.C. and the

talist masters. By withdra- wing from the C.L.R.B. and the E.C.C. all facets of class collaboration were do- ne away with: its the work— ers against the capitalists. The workers have the means and the collective will to fight their class enemies. To each Canadian the questi- ion is put: "Which side are you on?" Are you on the side of the capitalists who do not work but appropriate

the wealth produced by labor?'

Or you on the side of labor, which creates all wealth but has it appropriated by the parasitic capitalists? To the UPEI student the question is put: "are you on the side of "the university" (administration, including government), most faculty), "or are ybu on the side of‘
