NELSON - On the aftemoon
of July 27, 1918, the fishing
wasn't very good for labor leader
Albert Goodwin.

Known as “Ginger” by his
friends, Goodwin had carried his
fishing gear in to a lake near

according to Singleton, was a
“basket case.”

He wouldn't have been eligi-
ble for the military anyway, said
Singleton.

Blaylock thought ‘differently,
though, and had him “reclassified
as draft eligible,” Singleton says.

As Goodwin raised his hands

He was, says Marvin Single-

wouldn't get any older,

While Goodwin‘cast-his line
into the waters, three Police offi-
cers sWept the area. Official
records say it was Wominion
Constable Dan Campbell who
found him, Campbell was “a hit
man,” according to sources quot-
ed i in Susan Mayse’s book, “Gin-
ger,” and had told people during
the days before the manhunt that
he was out to kill Goodwin. *

Albert Goodwin was a draft
dodger, and during those closing
days of World War I he lived
with others on Vancouver Island
who had evaded the draft, wait-
ing for amnesty — which ‘wasn’t
far off.

But Selwyn Blaylock, whom
Goodwin had “bested” during
labor negotiations as a United
Mine Workers boss at Consoli-:
dated Mining and Smelting in
Trail, had made sure he wouldn’t
get that amnesty... . .

While working for a decade in
the mines on Vancouver Island,

neck, killing him.

Official reports say Goodwin

But according to Singleton, ‘who
has studied the material available
on Goodwin, he “had fishing
materials only” with him.

“It's clear to me that the three
constables (Campbell and two
other officers involved in the
case) ... brought the rifle there
and put it on him.” -

The’ Government of Canada
elected to write the self-defence
theory into history, and Goodwin
remaind, says Singleton, in an
unmarked grave for 25 years.

But now things are changingd,
and the man who won an eight
hour day for workers at the Trail
smelter is being recognized as
Canada’s greatest labor hero.

Just outside of Nelson, on the,

porch of a house overlooking

almost nine feet tall. Made of
fibreglass and steel mesh and

TRAIL - The School District
#11 board of trustees took a
request for funds from the chair-
man of the Butler Park Project
2000 committee under advise-
ment at its meeting last night.

A decision on funding will be
made after the request has been
studied by the district's adminis-
tation.

Dan Ashman was looking for
a commitment of $5,000 from
the board toward what he termed
as a project which could provide
the advancement of education
considering a fair number of
local ball players could advance
to the American NCAA ranks,
gaining scholarships on the way.

The committee has already

received sizable donations as
well as commitments to donate

The proposed 3,000 square
foot structure would be located
past the first base line in Butler
Park where the wading pool is
now located, Ashman said.

Trustee Joe Biagioni ques-
tioned the need for a new indoor
training facility when there is
already the fieldhouse for such
purposes.

Ashman countered that the
lighting in the fieldhouse was
incorrect for baseball training.

He explained spectrum white
lighting is neccesary for baseball
indoor facilities in order that
players can see balls coming
from pitching machines, :
