NEW YORK. Sept. ‘I - (OP) —— C. S. Jackson, president or the Canadian section of the United Electrical Workers (C10,) today was taken into custody hv United States immigration officials when he was about to attend the U. E. W. convention here.

The immigration service sold he was one of nine Canadians "ta-n- porarily excluded" from the United States on the grounds that they were suspected of being in affili- ation vwith the Communist Party. Jackson. ititernaiiorial vicc- presi-

oi‘ its Canadian affiliate, district five, was seized by immigration officials when he landed at La Guardia Field in a, Trans-Can- ada Air-Lines plane,

As the immigration automobile bearing Jaoitson was ptilllng away from the plane, t/wo men, ident- ified as U. E. lawyers, attempted to c-pen the doors of the car and were almost knocked down as an official ordered the chauffeur to start.

The Canadian official was taken to the nearby Ellis Island immi- gration centre.

David Scribner. a general counsel for the U. E., told the convent- ion today that Jackson will ap- pear in Fedeinl court Wednesday when the Union will seek his re- lease on a writ of haheas corpus.

Scribner linked the detention of Jackson with the investigation begun last vieek by a sub-com- mittee oi’ the House of Represent- atives labor ccmmittee into "the ideolcigicnl aspects" oi the U, E,

He sold that riffc-rts by the Union to arrange bail at Ellis Island and through the office of the Attorney-General in Washington were rebuffed without explanations.

Arthur Klnroy, an associate General Counsel c-f the Union. said Jackson was on his way tn take part in the national con- vention of the U. E., now in pro- gress. The U. E., with 400,030 members, is the third largest 0.1.0. union.

Kinrcy said that Jackson olccied chairman liinnriay’ of the major committee at the convention and rwas to trike an active part in the convention activities to- dray.

George B. Aldridge c-f Toronto, a delegate to the convention from local 52, said Monday lilglit that only scveii c»! the l0 Canadian rlelezaieii had’ been permit-ted to enter the United States,

Denounces P.E.|. Labor Act Before British Congress

MARGATE, Sussex. England, Seipt. 7 —- (C?) ~ Mayor Sam Laavrenoe of Hamilton, Ont, today told British labor that Canada's constitution, the British North‘ America Act, is "hamstrlnging"! Canadian labor. i

Addressing the Trades and Union l Congress convention as a frater-l nal delegate from the Trades and , Labor Congress of Inovrerice described how the B.» N. A, act gave the Canadian Pro- vinces legislatlvc nCWBfS in labor» and social matters. He said;

"This act has proven a source of revenue for the legal profession in the Dominion as well as a means of hamstringing labor with the approval c-l the Employers’ Association and the Provincial Coverrnienis."

Provincial labor legislation varies greatly in Canada, he said. Saskatchewan had recognized the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively but in Prince Edward Island was found the "most outrageous piece orf class legislation ever enacted in the Dominion of Canada to destroy the trade union movement."

I-fe said the P.E.1. act is similar ln scope to the Nazi war labor code. Under it no union could exist without the consent of the Provincial secretary and then only for such periods as the secretary thought advisable.
