CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Sept. 18, 1958 A Sad State Of Affairs On the whole, according tc Mr. Howard, Canadian unions are free of teadership by "gangsters and thugs” such as are found in the United States. But in some unions in The revelations of the U.S. Senate La- bor Rackets committee in the United States have made a deep impression on the public on both sides of the border. That impression, Canada freedom of speech is not tol Says Mr. Howard, members are afraid to ex- press their views at union meetings “because they are afraid.to lose their jobs.” Fair-minded Canadians will share Mr. Howard's view that it is ‘a sad state of af- fairs’ that such a situation should exist in a democracy. When unionism sp fer departs from its democratic traditions to deny free- dom ef speech under threat, expressed or im- plied, of penalty by union officials, the entire which will be hard to eradicate, is that all is not well with unionism when excessive power feads to abuse and corruption _ The kinds of abuse and corruption in labor circles revealed by the U.S, Senate com- mittee investigation certainly cannot be said to be prevalent in Canada, There is another development, however, which is no less dis- quieting.

And Bob was always a citi-! zen. He put notring ahead of his country and his community. So! much so, that he reversed the very common trend among edu- cated Canadians by refusing seve; eral lucrative positions in the United States. In brief, he had a deep faith and love for Canada and would! not, as many sn earlier pioneer. would not, be ‘turned aside. It was no accident therefore, that when he wrote his thesis for his master's degree in his-| tory, he chose and carried a now to 100 years of progress.
