Labor States Attitude

Communism

By The Canadian Press

Representatives of some 750,000 Canadian workers put. labor's at- titude toward Communism on rec- ord last week -- in two very dif- ferent ivays.

In Toronto. the Canadian Con- gress oi Labor manhandled its Red minority for five days running. It heard C.C.L. president A. R. Mosh-

tricai Workers to change their tune or be "thrown out.“ It re-eiecied a strongly anti-Communist slate of officers.

The Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, holding its convention in Victoria, adopted a resolution "deplurlug" the actions of "some Communists" in the labor inove- niciit. T. I... C. right-wingers ham- mered the document as a weak. "miik-and-water" effort. but. 1t.

Five new directors were named to the association. They are Geri- erai M. Gerbert, Ottawa; C. W. Hale. of Toronto; George Mills, Imperial Oil; R. G. York of Jas-‘ per and George Testill. t The Association will hold its‘ next. annual convention in Hali- fax. when that city celebrates its 200th. anniversary.

One of the resolutions adopted today as the convention came to a close stated that I. Trans-Cari- ada. highway was a necessity. It vras pointed out that 85 per cont cf American tourists came to Ca- nada by automobile.‘

The convention heard an apology by John Clark of Chicago. Inter- national Smelter president. I-[c adrnittod the offensive story was false and malicious and asked re- instatement. of his Union. C. C.

West Said ~ Interested

(By Francis W. Carpenter) ‘PARIS. Oct. 17—(AP)—The six neutral countries on the United Nations Security Council were re- ported working anew today on a plan for settling the Berlin crisis. Both Russia and the West were said to be showing interest in the new approach.

An authoritative source said the United States, Russia, Britain and France are following closely the private efforts of the six countries including Canada to iron out a proposal for simultaneous action.

This informant, who has kept up with the moves of the neutrals during the last two weeks, said they ivere working on a resolution along these lines;

1. Russia would lift the Ber- lin blockade.

2. Currency control under l four-power nrranlement would become effective in Berlin, with Russian currency being used in the four zones of the city.

3. The four-power Council of Foreign Ministers would meet or would be called to meet
