But in Romania and Czechoslo- vakia. the Red regimes have ap- parently roopsnedlthe campaign of Jewish persecution which flared throughout east Europe in 1052.

By Harold Morrison

Canadian Press Staff Writer

MONTREAL. (CP) - with other wells of union organisation run- ning dry, the Canadian Congress of Labor decided Thursday to mob- ilize its forces in an attempt to en- llst thousands of unorganized ”whiite-collar" office workers and department store clerks across the ,country. , Organizational chairman William

Mahoney of the Toronto Steel Workers said white-collar workers are becoming ”more and more

union-conscious."

He realized that office workers may be more difficult to organize than other employers "because they are much closcr to manage- ment," but he was confident that by next year "we will be able to report. considerable rxp'nnslon in 'OFRIlll7.lflg the white-collar field" He informed the congress that ilhe work of the committee which has been attempting lo organize the Eaton Co. employees has been taken over by the CCL. The con- grass. he said. will need the help of all affiliates in establish fl union in the department store field.

Meanwhile. the labor body charged government with maintaining rm immigration act which. despite protests by labor and other groups. permits "the worst kind of racial discrimination."

VANCOUVER. ICP)-Doukliobor women had to be carried. in and out of court Thursday when the trial of 144 radical Sons of Free- dom opened ln suburban Burnaby, l Hunger had taken its toll. In it state of collapse. the women, who have refused solid food for eight days, sat slumped over chairs dur- ing the court hearing.

Only 71 of the 144 Doukhobor men and women were brought to court. The others were too weak to trial in police buses.

The first convicted of appearing nude in public was 45-year-old William G.'Konkln, who refused to enter any defence. He was re- manded for sentence until Sept. 21

He and others were arrested at the tent village of Perry aiding in the West Kootenays last week and charged with contributing to Juv- enlle delinquency. His father, George Konlrin, is among the ac- cused. .

The prisoners were remanded until Sept. 25 on the contributing

charge and will be tried as a group.

But on a new charge of being found in a "public place while nude" each will be tried separate- ly.

The Doukhobors have refused counsel and told reporters: "God

is our lawyer and protector."

Konkin did not utter a word durliig the court. hearing held in a community hall.

Prosecutor John Farris asked for the maximum sentence -- three years in penitentiary.

"He has shown straight. d.'Tlall('P lof authority." said Mr. Farris.

OTTAWA, 10?:-The Cabinet Thursday rejected the .. 3.. of eight Provinces, all but Oii',.i:'io and Quebec. to rescind a serm- per-cent railway freight ra'e in- crease put into effect last March l'6

An anll0Ufl(fF,ll'lElll. from lllF of-

This had been requested by the Proviiicr-5 in a petition dated March 30, 1953"

The announcement noted that two important points raised by the Provinces during their appeal to the cabinet last May l-uniform- hr of accounts and equalization of freight rates-now are undcr ion- sideratlon by the Transport Board.

The appeal of the eight Provin- ces was the first full-dress attack before the Government on a gen-. rral freight rate increase since; 1948. after the original post-wdr increase of 21 per cent.

The Cabinet decision means that the rate increase granted by the Board is here to stay. The Prov- inces have no further recourse.

The Provinces asked the cabinet to rescind the increase and to order the Transport Board to:
