Communist Party in Canada (and U.S.) > (a) Before the Communist Party of Canada was founded many left-wingers had already become members of either the Communist Party of America, or the United Communist Party of America. districts. Each of those parties had set up Canadian The need for Communist unity in an Independent Canadian party became evident to the Canadian members of both parties. As a result of discussion in 1920 among the various groups^ a joint committee was organized and a unity convention held. The Communist Party of Canada was formed in 1921 as a section of the Communist International. The War Measures Act, which was in force at the time, outlawed the new party. Because of this legislation the Communist Party in Canada then operated behind a legal "front” known as the Workers* Party of Canada. In 1924 the Party brought its activities into the open and changed the name of the Workers* Party to the Communist Party of Canada. The change of name was not contested in court and thereby the Party assumed an appearance of legality. Under the Defence of Canada Regulations the Communist Party of Canada was again declared an illegal organisation in May 1940. For the next three years it operated clandestinely through various front organizations, the most prominent of which was the Canadian Labour Defence League. In August 1943, following the dissolution of the Communist International (Comintern) by the Soviet Union as a gesture of goodwill to the Allied cause, the Party in Canada was re-organized as the Labor-Progressive Party (L.P.P.). The change was again not challenged through legal process and the L.P.P. was considered a legal political party. 000020 �3 During the 7th Rational Convention of the L.P.P. -•J in 1959, it was decided that the Party should revert to its original name, the Communist Party of Canada. !/ ♦ J- I Objectives: "The aim of the Communist Party is the establish­ ment in Canada of a socialist, and ultimately a communist, society."(2) Communist Party in the 0.8. - Reference: (1) /tasters of Deceit.

(S & I Library US 335/3.15) The following chapters present a relatively brief and concise history of.the C.P.U.S.A. (a) Chapter 4- How U.S. Comunism Began, 1919-21, pg. 53. (b) Th© Party Grows Up, Pg. 67, (c) Administratively, the C.P. of C. functions at three levels: Local, provincial and national. The basic unit is the Party club, each of which generally has ten to twenty members. The security requirements of each club determines the size of that club.. Party organizations within trade union locals and in areas where security is en important consideration are not referred to as clubs. They are usually termed "fractions" within trade unions and in other areas "discussion groups" or some such deceptive guise. Several clubs con be linked together on a ward or city basis, or on a regional basis such as a province or part of a province. Each club elects an executive. Clubs.delegates meet at Provincial Conventions to elect a Provincial Committee and Provincial Leader. The Provincial Executive, consisting of at least seven members chosen from the Provincial Committee, co-ordinates activities in its area with the national program. 000021 �I Ths Party customarily holds a rational Convention * every tvo yonro at which matters of brood policy cuoh os the Party progren, tho ccaotitution end tho locdarohlp c^no^ally ere discussed and agreed upon. Tho national Convention ©loots tho Party1 o national Comittoo which cons lots of fifty-can >ora plus ton alternate members.

Tho national Bsocutivo Cemittoo, often referred to as tho Politburo, in turn octo up a Secretariat of three to five richers, who perform tho executive function of tho national Convention, tho national Cemnittoo or tho national Eaoeutivo Committoo. Tho function of dicoiplinary liny i control over tho Party and' tho movement is tho responsibility of tho national Appeals Committoo. Administration of tho Party is carried cut through a sytrtem of eocaittooo end dopertaionts, rsrat important of Which la the national Enccutivo Cemittoo. This committoo, while in theory subservient to tho rational Co^nittoo, is, in reality, the hipest eutharlty in ths Party apparatus. Same of tho other carpittoes deal with such aspaots, as Party organisation, propaganda, trade unions, ethnic groups, tho *,poacon novemoat, finance, culture, uorrnn, youth end (3) etudents.

From its inception, the C.P. of C. has been a section of the international Communist movement beginning with the Communist International right through to its present somewhat loose structure. The origins of-the present-day international Communist movement date from 1919 when the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party addressed a proclamation signed principally by Lenin and Trotsky to "revolutionary elements” throughout the world to take part in the First Congress of the Communist International (Comintern), The founding congress was held ip Moscow on March 2, 1919 and was officially opened by Lenin. The Statutes, Theses, Resolutions, Programs and Constitution subsequently adopted by the Comintern at this and later conferences form the basis for the existence, structure and operations of all Communist Parties.(L) Since 1919, the Comintern has been dissolved and replaced by other forms dissimilar in name only, thus providing the C.P.S.U. with the means to maintain its continuity of control over the world Communist movement. Host important of all was the 19b0 Moscow conference of representatives of 81 Communist and Workers’ Parties and the programmatic statement issued at its conclusion. Three major points require particular mentions at this time. The first is the recognition of all Communist Parties that the C.P.S.U. "has been, and remains, the universally recog­ nized vanguard of the World Communist movement, being the must experienced and steeled contingent of the international Communist movement". The second point is the degree of authority attributed to various Communist documents. In pronouncing the correctness of peaceful coexistence of states with differing social systems, it was stated in the Declaration that this principle was advanced by LENIN and 000023 �- 6 - further elaborated In tho Eoccorj Declaration tod Peace Itonlfooto of 1957t in tho docioions of tho 20th and 21st Cancrooooo of tho C.P.S.U.* end in tho doctcitoto of otter C ceramist and Uorterc’ Pa?tios.

It cccprioos all tho tactics and stratagems by which the Comunlots take their conspiracy into non-Comunis t environments. ,1 Lenin generalized hie angor at Tourist tyranny into an irreconcilable antagonism toward all bourgeois governments, and hl a will to reesdy specific abuses into a worldwide program of revolutionary overthrow. In aupport of this progr&r^ho refined the Bolshovlko’ original resort to conspiracy into a detailed coioneo of conspiracy* This, he indicated, was to be utilized to the limit in all "bourgeois" countries. Ono of the mere important aspects of this conspiracy which io, needless to nay, still In existence, is the propagation of propaganda. . ’ ’ The international Communist propaganda apparatus is unique both in kind and scope in human history. One of its Inportant characteristics is that It is embodied in organizations t parties, associations, comitt 00 a, congresses, unions, societies and clubs. In addition, it has been estimated that the various fores of Comunlat propaganda throughout tho world involve a personnel of about $00,000 and an annual expenditure of approx­ imately $2,000 million. 'With tho organization and moans at tho disposal of tho Comuniet forcos, tho political front has become as decisive as tho military front in tho current world situation. Tho centre of Communist propaganda in Canada is con- ccntrated within tha official structure of tho C.P. of C. Corresponding to tho Agitation-Propaganda (Agit-Prop) Department of tho C.P.S.UIs Control Comlttee Secretariat io the Agit-Prop Department of tho national Executive Comittoo of tho C.P. of C. Tho functions of this department wore outlined in 1959, following tho 16th national Convention of the C.P. of C.s 000034 �. 16 MIt io rooponolblo for preparing tho agitation materials for Party public campaigns, propaganda mt©rial a, and Party education.

It loads propaganda work. It ns sis tn tho Party member ship to deepen its grasp of Ikirxisn-Leninicn, o spoolally now in the discussion of tho Party1 a program. It arranges and assists Party schools, It constantly reviews end assists Party publications and atinulatos the publication and reading of Party litera­ ture. It supervises tho work of tho education, research and literature sub-coralbtees." Slnoo January 1959 the efforts of tho Agit-Prop Department have boon aupplcnonted by a now agency, tho Marxist Study Centre of tho Party1© National Executive Coralttoe. Tho Centro is designed eventually to bocoas a Marxist Institute, corresponding to the Marxist-Leninist Institute of tho Central Committee of the C.P.S.U. The Study Centro was officially founded in January 1959 by maxtibers of tho Agit-Prop Department and is heeded by Leslie MORRIS* It would be a mistake, however, to consider this now organisation as an agency devoted to strictly theoretical topics. The now Marxist Study Centro is, in every sense, a practical organisation end is currently devoted to active work In the field of history, education, culture and economics. Tho operations of tho various ooraittooo of the Study Centro arc becoming too involved to permit precise descriptions, since their members and associates have begun to produce a series of factual works on Canadian history, economics, trade union developmento, education, etc. Thus, an organised attempt Is being cade to invade the field of literature with tho Marxist interpretation of Canadian history and current topics, Those works ore not the propaganda loaflots of. tho past, but books which nay, because of their topics, oomo to notice of tho gonorol public. Members of tho Marxist Study Centro are also busily engaged in preparing articles for Canadian, Soviot and inter­ national Communist journals, as well as briofs and educational guides for inner Party use. 000035 4 �17 The official Communist press agencies in Canada era the publications of the C.P. of C. and its mass language and front organisations. All-told there are approximately 20 major, and as cany minor, publications beamed at the various language groups in Canada, all of them reflecting the stereotyped Party line. Ooteneibly many of the publications are published by and for individual organisations. however, there is some evidence the editorial staff of the major newspapers is selected by the National Executive Committee of the Party. In many instances the leading members of the editorial staff also servo on the U.3.C. committees charged with directing work ih the mass language field* Rigid adherence to the Party lino is also guaranteed by occasional meetings of the chief editors of the Communist press in Toronto. International solidarity among editors of the Communist press in many countries io ensured by organized tours, such as the group tour to the U.3.S.R. organized in 1955 for the Canadian editors of six maos language newspapers. As suggested earlier, the Soviet Union is not content merely to dictate and supervise the policies and operations of its agencies abroad. It also devotes vast sums of money to ensuring the continued distribution of its literature. One noons of financial support has been the donation of printing equipment to the various Communist printing houses in Canada. The amounts involve total thousands of dollars. Furthermore, since some of the language types are not manufactured in Canada, the equipment enters the country tax-free. Cultural centres of mass language organizations, such as the Ivan Franko and Taras SHEVCH'H'IKO museums of the Communist Association of United Ukrainian Canadians, are also the recipient of donations (usually in the form of exhibits) from the U.3.S.R. Another moans by which the C.P. of C. and its supporting groups are subsidized from abroad io through the import of MarxistLeninist writings from the Soviet Union at a nominal cost and their resale thrcugh regular Party outlets in Canada. 000036 �18 The major Party bookstores In Canada aro usually attached directly to the national and provincial Party head­ quarters. Those total seven, the principal one being Progress Books, which is co-located with tho C.P. of C. national offices in Toronto. Besides the smaller outlets maintained by various C.P. of C. city organizations, thoro is also an entire series of bookstores maintained byI various mass language groups across the country. The most important of these is the Ukrainska Knyha, which is operated by the A.U.U.C. in Toronto. This agency Is also engaged in parcel service operations and, in 1959, maintained 16 offices across the country. In fact, wherever there is a concentration of C.P. of C. member and Communist sympathizers, propaganda outlets are established to supply Party members and any interested persons with Communist literature. In order to ensure tho publication of Communist literature and propaganda, tho Party and its subsidiary groups maintain four major printing shops in Canada. These are responsible for printing almost two-thirds of tho major Communist press organs in Canada. Tho official Party shop, Bveroady Printers Limited in Toronto, also prints quantities of material for sale within tho Party and through the various propaganda outlets. Pamphlets, leaflets, election material, and vast quantities of material for Communist-controlled unions also form part of the firm’s assignments* ' In addition to the above, all the regional and city committees of tho Party and its maos language and front organ­ izations are, of course, equipped with some form of duplicating equipment. The location of such equipment in private homos also provides the means for the illegal distribution of Communist literature, should tho major printing shops be closed during a state of emergency, 000037 �19 The Party is by no moans restricted to its own agencies for the distribution of its propaganda. It relies to a large extent on the legitimate press agencies to obtain Those policies are adequate coverage of its policies. reflected, not as the official Party lino, but as the legitimate demands and opinions of. organized labour, non­ political social and cultural organizations and civil rights * groups. Both the organization and volubility of the Communist members within any infiltrated croup ensure continued coverage of thoir opinions in the legitimate prose. Thus the general public is subjected almost dally to Communist propaganda under the guise of genuine news items. Current examples of these tactics are to bo found in the regular reports dealing with the nation-wide unemployed workers associations, organized by the C.P. of C., and the various radiation hazards and nuclear disarmament groups which in most cases are infiltrated by Communists. The C.P. of C. also tokos advantage of radio and TV facilities to obtain nation-wide and provincial coverage of the Party program during elections. By nominating a certain percentage of candidates in tho various constituencies, the C.P. of C, has boon granted froo CBC radio time in order to put its program across to tho general public. This was accomplished ln‘ the 1953 federal elections and in tho 19% and I960 BC provincial elections. Another means of reaching the general public is through the trade union movement. The press of the seven unions controlled by the C.P. of C. at the top executive level continually put forward the Party line, particularly as it applies to the Peace Program, disarmament and trade union movement in Canada. In addition, the post of publicity and education director and tho editorship of the press of various locals is constantly sought by C.P. of C. members In their attempts to influence the forces of organized labour. 000038 �20 Another excellent means of popularizing the Party’s policies is through the distribution of leaflets in industrial centres* The union label appearing on the leaflets can usually be traced to the official Party printing shop. Also of considerable importance ar© the Party’s continued attempts to infiltrate Trade Union organizations at every level, from the union, through the various District Labour Councils and provincial Federations of Labour, to the Canadian Labour Congress* The extent of th© Party’s influence can be seen from the variety of political resolutions vtaich are proposed by Communist-dominated locals and continually adopted by the district and provincial labour organizations at their annual conventions* Besides the propaganda directed against Canada and Canadian institutions from within the country by the Com­ munist Party, Canada is also the target of an intensive and very sizeable propaganda campaign originating in the U.3.S.R., China and the satellite countries* It has been estimated that, during the past ten years, literally tons of magazines, books, manuscripts, pamphlets, photographs and newspapers have been directed, through Customs, to the offices of various Communist organizations, publishing companies and to individuals us well* Much of this material has been sent to Canada free of charge and free of customs tariffs and has subsequently been offered for sale in Party bookstores. Communists are therefore directly Indoctrinating Canadian readers through the propaganda which is entering Canada and, through the s ale of the material, additional funds are provided to assist the operations of the C.P. of C. It is worth nothing that, although the propaganda material being poured into Canada can certainly be classed as subversive (a non-logal term), it doos not fall within the legal category of sedition and treason. Consequently, as long as the Communist Party of Canada continues to be regarded as a legal organization, Com­ munist propaganda material may enter Canada freely and may be used to 000039 �21 neutralize and divide public opinion* Only an Order-In-Council, specifically directed agalnst this propaganda raterial( could place it on the class of ”prohibltod goods” under th© Customs Tariffs and Rcgulatlona, thereby prohibiting its entry into Canada.

C.P.P.8.A* - Pg. 17 MCommunist Influence cannot be estimated properly merely by comparing its votes or membership with those of political parties. Those Who declare that the Communist Party is no menace because its membership and voting strength constitute only a fraction of a perdent of,. I the total membership and voting strength of major political parties are deluding themselves and others* This approach is the root cause of a mistaken policy which has already done considerable harm and which cay bring even more disastrous results. The simplicity of this approach is born of sheer ignorance of the problem. Each party member or sympathizer must be evaluated in toms of his political, social, and economic weight and influence and the fact that he has the backing, of a major foreign power. The collective Influence of this group cannot bo judged as a cere arithmetical sum of members and sympathizers, since one arm of this conspiracy lends support to and supplements the other in a highly synchronized manner. We must keep this in mind in estimating the influence of this tightly organized, co-ordinated , and aggressive group and its combined effect upon an amorphous, comparatively unorganized mass of people who are, for the most part, blissfully unaware that they are being worked upon by a conscious, conspiratorial group with a clear-cut policy. We must remember that in a highly sensitive and articulated society like ours, it is not difficult to cause havoc by a strategic dislocation. Communists make a practice of seeking out such points of vantage* Thus a party member or sympathizer may be an official of a labor union with thousands of members which can tie up a given community or industry* He may be an unpubllclzod Government official who prepares memoranda on •••• 000047 �4 X - 29policy affecting the entire Nation.... He may be a writer, a preacher, or a radio commentator with a vast audience.... He may be an actor whose popularity is exploited by the party to sponsor its front organizations and public appeals • • • • In each case the individual’s influence radiates to ever- widening circles with an effect similar to that of a stone thrown into a pool." / 000048 �- 30 - FOOTNOTES 1.

CANADA Through the uso of the Communist Front technique ( of subversion, the Communists seek to create seemingly independent organisations with the aim of conditioning non- Communists to co-operate and think along the same lines as the Communists on certain specific issues. It is part of the long range Communist strategy to build a United Front for tho eventual seizure of power. The success of tho ' technique is dependent on the extent to which Communist influence can bo concealed between the prestige of re­ presentative leaders who allow the influence of their name ond position to be connected with the various alleged cultural organizations, peace movements and causes apparently * worthy of popular support. Under the guise of an appropriate high-toned name, tho particular front supports or raises issues of current significance thus facilitating tho recruit­ ment of those with a genuine interest in the matter. Con- sequently, it is possible to either divide or neutralize their opponents when tho i-jsue becomes political, Heroin lies the potential throat. ExamplesI (a) Tho Canadian Peace Congress (C.P.C. Historyi The C.P.C. is ono of a group of organizations throughout tho world affiliated with the World Peace Congress, an international Communist organization. Tho C.P.C. was founded in 19^8 as part of a world-wide campaign on the part of the Soviet Union to weaken tho Vest at the time of tho beginning of the Cold War, tho Berlin Blockade, and tho forming of the IJATO alliance. Dr. James G. Endicott hao been chairman of the C.P.C. since its beginning* 000051 �33 Operational One of tho most effective moans discovered by tho C.P.C* for attracting publicity and spreading propaganda has been the holding of Parliamentary Lobbies - both at the Federal and Provincial levels - and National Congresses, As early as 1951 and almost yearly since that time delegations have presented briefs to the Federal Government or to tho Department of External Affairs. Those briefs have called for "peace" (February 1951), a ceaso fire in Korea (February 1953), recoi^iltion ■ of Communist China and a united and demilitarized Germany (December 1953)» prohibition of Gorman rearmament (December 1953), banning of nuclear tests (March 1956) and the banning of the H-Bomb (May 1958 and Hay 1959). Tho best organized Provincial Peacy Lobby with tho greatest amount of public and official support occurs in Saskatchewan when Provincial Peace Council appears before the Provincial legislature in Regina. This Lobby has been received by Premier Douglas or ono or more cabinet ministers. Full approval'has nearly always been accorded to the Peace Council proposals. Publicationst The C.P.C. has put out a variety of publications during its lifotino, all of them devoted to the spread of ’’peace" propaganda. Some of those are'>nPeaco Review", "Horizon", "Far Lrdiorn newsletter" and "Peace Letter". Lone of these with tho exception of "Peacd Letter” have appeared since 1958.

Ostensibly, tho alm of the L.D.R. was to unite all those that would take a stand for the protection and extension of tho democratic rights of tho Canadian people. but in fact, was designed for tho protection of the communist movement against repressive measures by tho government. The convention elected a national committee of 17 members, all of whom wore either known Party members or directly associated with other Communist Front organizations* Following tho convention, tho Executive Secretary toured Canada consistently adhering to the same' pattern or organization In each city visited, contactinc known L.P.P. members, explaining the nature and purposes of the L.D.3. and appointing an organizer for the area. Articles have appeared in the rational Affairs Monthly, official organ of the L.P.P. rational Committee, from time to tine giving support to and emphasizing the need for the L.D.R. The extent to which the Party exercises tight control over both tho financing and the program of tho L.D.R. is exemplified In tho following extracts from one of the above articles: "Each locality's regular monthly financial commitment for tho defonso of civil liberties must be honoured. Party loaders must tako personal responsibility to carry this through." "Party leaders must ensure tho selection immediately of forces in each locality to help initiate and strengthen ' the work for civil liberties. The I..C. must demand a right to check up on all tho outlined plana**’ 1‘his organization has not been extensive in its ■ activities in recent years and although latent in this respect, it la activated when an opportunity for the declaration of its aims arises. An outstanding effort of the League was its protest actions directed against the Padlock Law in tho Province of Quebec. •< 000054 �36 In recent years, tho Party has been devoting con­ siderable effort toward tho building of a broad democratic front for peace and disarmament. Consequently, they seize upon any syitable opportunity to further their cause through tho establishment of groups which either defend or criticize, according to tho circumstances, some question of international, national or local significance. Those groups, generally spontaneous in their formation, nro carefully concealed as Communist fronts behind tho pretense of a suitable title reflecting tho nature of tho issue for which it was created. Fortunately for the Party, such groups are often formed by non-Communist persons with a genuine interest in the problem. This has a two-fold advantage for tho Party - not only is the Party relieved of the difficulty and expense in the formation of a suitable organisation but there is also a greater possibility of its attaining the desired results. This latter point can be.substantiated upon con­ sideration of the fact that tho area of recruitment for the . Communists is obviously limited. On the other hand, an Independent group without Communist affiliations has not only a much more extensive field of reeuitment but is more likely to be accepted as the voice of a minority group having no political implications. The Party then carefully inf11- trates those groups gradually gaining control and thus is ultimately able to direct its policies and activities. At the present tine, the Party is engaging in this type of activity and has been successful in infiltrating a large number of these groups of which the following are considered to be tho current prime targets: , (1) Committees pertaining to the Cuban Situation (2) Canadian-Chinese Friendship Society (3) Committee for a freo Africa. c^r Committees for tho Control of Radiation Hazards, (5) Voice of’Women 000055 �COKXOTIST FROWT ORGAUIZATIOaS C.P.3.U.

Those organisations wore to bo of a oultural-educatlonal-Fratcrnal nature* ostensibly devoid of any political affiliation, to servo as useful formations for recruiting purposes while at tho aace time extending tho Influence of Communist doctrine. Tho Party has also been attempting to take advantage of tho groat influx of inmigrants who face difficulties in Canada because of language, culture, etc, Tho control and gulAanco of those organisations roots with the national Groups Buro of the C.P. of C. national Executive * k Comlttoo. The principal organisations of this typo in Canada aro tho Association of united Ukrainian Canadians, the Polish Democratic Association, the Federation of Russian Canadians, tho Finnish Organisation of Canada, tho United Jewish People*a Order, In addition, those aro neutral benefit societies, also tightly eontrolled by the Party. Some of these aro the Uorkors’ Benevolent Association, the Independent Mutual Benefit Pedoration. Tho control of tho national groups doos not rest alone in tho national Groups Buro. It io re-infcreed in tho executive Committees of all tho organisations on all is^ortant levels by tho presence of reliable Pcrty corfbors in key positions. Tho papers 4» published by.theao ethnic organisations in their own languages aro also tightly controlled and slant all news and articles in accordance with the Communist point of view. —*' Of oom 125 foridgn language publications in Canada printed in 25 languages, 12 aro Ccrmainlot. Added to those 125 arc English language papers directed to foreign-born or first gener­ ation Canadians, of which one is Corramist, Accurate circulation 000058 �39 figures aro impossible but the boot estimate places ths total circulation of the 13 Ccmmonlot papers between £0 and 60 thousand. Tho actual circulation amongst individuals io increased somewhat J by one subscription serving a number of persons in a foully, and by the original subscriber handing on copies to friends end relatives. In Canada, the efforts of the Canadian Cccmmist foreign language press ere concentrated in three directions, criticises all aspocto of non*Cc conditions Ixx C First, it uniat lifo and, doncrlbos ■w*1 unist countries in glowing terms . Second, it attempts to brood dissatisfaction among ethnic groups in Canada. Third, it attempts to encourage the splitting up of various ethnic groups into opposed comps, often by subtly exploiting differences of background and outlook between old and new immigrants, This exploitation 1s further pursued by tho charge that French and . English national groups look on the newcomers as unwolccro and inferior intruders. Briefly, all tho characteristic roans aro used to promote friction and discontent on all aides, primary prerequisites of successful Ccminlst operations. Finances of course continuously represent a difficult problem to tho rose language organisations. Tho duos collected monthly from each romber cor^jrlso a relatively mall amount.of tho conoy required tho respective organisations to operate. Each organisation conducts a campaign every year for the collection of funds in order to continue operations, tactically without exception, according to tho figures published in their respective newspapers, the quotas set on a national basis arc oversubscribed. numerous other ways end esens are found fa» mining the required finances. Annual bazaars are one of the favourite rocns. Other naans include raffles and collections taken at all social functions from naos mootings to popularity contests, anniversaries, weddings, baptisixos and funerals.

Thun they further at least four aims. Tho Party’s first aim in thus working with non-Cccministe is to insinuate its "line” into their consolousnoss, so that they will unwittingly begin to talk its language about issues, will retail stories that It has planted about tho abuses of tho "capitalist police state”t and will echo its characterisations of individuals and its interpretations of events....

Tho applicant must then sign an application fora which is presented to tho club of which the applicant will bocorna a msinber. If the fora io approved by a majority vote, the applicant will be naked to attend tho next meeting for initiation. At thio macting, the flrat order of buoinoao io the Iniation of thia now mnbor. Tho now merrbor is required to take an oath in which he promises to uphold tho interests of the working class, uphold the independence and democratic institutions of our country and for a socialist Canada, to defend and explain to his follow Canadians tho Coraamist Party’s program, that he be a disciplined monbor of tho ?erty, study tho classics of ilarxiom- Loninism, bo guided by the great principles of working class intornalism and solidarity, The now arnnber la then welcomed as a rasber, presented with a party membership book and a copy of tho Party Constitution and Party Program. Ilenborship in our traditional political parties is easily obtainable and comparatively unrestricted. The . C.P. of C. however, is constantly on tho watch for in­ filtration by police agents, reformists, etc., and consequently membership is rather oxoluslvo and restricted. At tho snra time, no political party In the country io as aggressive In recruiting new members as is tho C.P. of C, Recruiting is ccxpulcory with oaoh Party member who is expected to fulfill his share of tho quota assigned to his club or section In regular Party Recruiting Campaigns. Each Party member is expected to constantly cultivate prospective meeborfi. In fact, there is "more concentration 000062 -j �U3 at effort within the naos language organizations to recruit new members. The foot that those groups operate under a name not overtly connected with the C.P. of 0. facllitatofi th© acquisition of now moxbors. Supplocontal to this calculated policy of dascoption is tho fact that those organiEutions arc directed towards tho various ethnic groups, Onco a person io rooruitod within their ranks, it la only a stopping stone to ESdborship in the Party itself. (b) Tho vast majority ofmonboro aro openly attached to somo specific club. Exceptions may bo people who, * mainly because of thoir position in public life, do not wish it to become publicly known that they are ribers of a subversive organization. (c) Tho average Pasty club has fron ton to twenty members. The Party’s constitution states that there rawt bo five members in order to fora a club. If there is not a club in tho vicinity of tho xacaber then ho to considered to be a member-at-lcrgo. With tho exception of those oocret members described in tho preceding paragraph, all mockers of a club aro known to each other. (d) KootIngo of a Party club aro usually prearranged at a cot date. Such raotings generally take place onco every two woota. When emergency meetings aro necessary, tho naabers aro usually summoned by word M-4 of mouth.

Tho usual organisational positions are maintained: president or chairman, recording secretory, secretary treasurer, various ooraittoos for ope ci al projects such os recruiting, fund raising committees, etc. It is rather difficult to Dtato that olubo or Individuals actually take on assignments ao such, It would be more accurate to state that the C.P. of C. as a function of tho O.P.S.U. io devoted to tho creation of a Socialist State in Canada and ultimately a Soviet State. The function of tho Party’s whole apparatus including its clubs and members is to pursue a policy to attain thio goal'. Thio includes, as far os tho clubs and umbers are concerned, the recruitment of now umbers, collection of funds, dissemination of propaganda exploitation of events, crisis, circumstances, etc., which further their cause. There are, from time to time, directives issued from the national Party Eoodquartors or tho respective Provincial Party offices to tho individual clubs on sems specific question. The various Cocnuniot publications arc also used to sees extent to direct olubo and csrbcro in their never ending struggle.

If the prospect is desired as a member, then he is generally approached verbally by hie proposer. The procedure outlined in answer to question (a) is then followed.

It can quite ©daily bo proven that the C.P. of C. io controlled by a foreign power and it therefore follows i that if the C.P* of C. gains ascendency, than the nation will bo under the control of that foreign power. The current hue and cry that 1c being raised over the American control of our Canadian economy is an oxcmple of the extent to which thio appeal to nationalism can bo carried, I boliovo that it is one thing for a particular party to have control of the nation even though that party may appear undesirable but it is quito different to have a party in control which is it self controlled by a foreign power. The reaction to the latter should, if there is a nationalistic spirit, bo greater than to the fornsr. Ao usual,’ there io an argument against this proposal which in turn must have a counter argument in order for the proposal to bo of value, Tho argument io that if one adopts the Marxist concept of history, then tho domination of one state over r-nny in an economic and ultimately a political alliance (tho realisation of such a concept io In the formulativo stages in tho present attempt to link Western Europe into an ©oonomio federation) io inevitable. The argument would then follow that if such io the coco, nationalism applicable to one individual nation io obsolete and Is being replaced "by allegiance to economic and political interests as represented by the various alliances. This being tho case, the decision remains as to which group one wishes to bo ollied with. Tho appealing answers which socialism offers to the current 000073 �economic turmoil prevalent in Canada may have a predominant effect upon the decision made* If the decision la in favour of socialism. then why attempt to destroy a party which advocates such a policy. If the Soviet Bloc’s industrial might continue to grow while ours declines and if the policy advocated by that group creates more benefits for the majority rather than the minority, then the so-called labouring class (largest percentage of the voters) will seek an alliance with the ideal t&ich the Soviet Bloc represents. Since the creation of an identity of interests would be a great inducement to political unity and if in order to create that identity of interests, it is necessary to create a Com­ munist state, then it is inevitable that this will occur.

The basic concepts of the revolutionary strategy and tactics of Communism have remained unchanged since they were expounded by LENIN over forty years ago. Thor historical validity was recently reaffirmed in the i960 Moscow Declaration of th© representatives Of Communist and Workers’ Parties* In keeping with the mode of operations specified by LENIN, the i960 Declaration stressed the prime Importance of the trade union movements on both the national and international levels in bringing about the socialist revolution. 2. The analysis of the present stag® of the development of socialism, as outlined at the conference, is of particular concern. In reporting on the Moscow meeting, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Canada (CP of C) informed a specially-convened assembly of the Party*s National Committee that the ultimate goal of international Communism could be achieved "in OUR TIME". This statement implies an acceleration of Communist activities, particularly in the trade union field. In Canada the stag© is already sot for mass • action in th© labour movement and th© Secretary of the CP of C Rational Trade Union Commission has predicted that Canada will be swept by strikes during th© current year. 3. The centre of labour unrest in Canada may well be focused around the strike of the non-operating railway unions which has been postponed by government legislation until 16 May 1961. In this connection it should be stressed that the railways represent one of the major targets for CP of C penetration. Moreover, it has been reliably estimated that UOO active Communists are members of various unions connected with the operations of the two major railway systems, the Canadian Pacific and th© Canadian national Railways (CpR and CNR). The nationalisation of th© CPR, a privately owned service, has been specifically listed as one of the main CP of C objectives in the economic field. Amid growing unenploymont, industrial unrest and strikes of a national character could produce a climate favour­ able for the now leftist farcer-labour party Which will be formed during 1961. The "New Party", as it is now called, is sponsored jointly by th© Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), the largest trade union organisation in Canada. Th© formation of the now political alliance is being heartily endorsed by th© Communist Party, which sees in it th© fulfilment of one of th© historical prerequisites for the victory of socialism. 000082 �C0HF1DEHXXAL - 2 - ii. co^runiar A. axes in the traps union pxrio cacamisT comcmPT op the role of trade unions in thr struggle for socialism 5. The Communist Party, as defined by the Third (Communist) International, is composed of the "most advanced, class-conscious, and therefore most revolutionary" part of the working class. Its self-imposed role is to act as "the organised poli■ tical lever by moans of which the more advanced part of the working class leads all the proletarian and semi-proletarian mass in the right direction* — towards the seixuro of political power and the creation of the dictatorship of the proletariat. 6. The organisation through which, according to Marxist-Leninist precepts, the Communist Party derives much of its strength, 1b the organised labour force. One of the principal conditions for admission to the Communist International was laid down ass "Systematic and persistent Cpaaunlst work in the labor unions, co-operatives and other labor organisations of the nasses. It is necessary to fora Communist groups within the organis­ ations, which by persistent and lasting . work should win over the labor unions to Communism." 7. In other words, next to the fomation of an elite group with advanced ideas as to ths purpose and nature of society, trade unions and related labour groups Torn the coot important section of the coenunity. However, they teust first bo educated as to their role in society — by the Comunist Party. They oust learn , to sec each econoaic struggle as a political struggle, conforming to the well-defined Karxiot-Lcninist theories as to revolution and the seisuro of political power. They oust recognise and accept Comsunist leadership in all fields. 8. The Theses and Statutes of the Communiat International as adopted at the Second World Congress in Moscow in 1920 dealt both with the actual organisation of the Communist Party within trade unions and with the definite tasks which the unions, under Communist guidance, should undertake. The Comintern stressed the necessity for complete unity between trade unions and the Party and the subordination of unions to the leadership of the Party. 9. In order to accomplish these alas, the . Coalntern ordered that all unions be infiltrated by the 000083 �c £ 2! - 3 Party at every possible level. These tasks asnignod by the Comintern, such an nationalis­ ation of induetry, international labour solidarity, trade union unity and united front activity with all rase groups, etc., represent a few of the basic tactics employed by the Communist Party in order to achieve its long-range objective of the dictatorship of the proletariat. ' 10. Ono aspect of the tactics of the Communist Party requires particular emphasis] the identification of economic struggles with political struggles. According to the declaration of the Second World Congress of the Communist International: nAll class struggle io a political struggle, because it is finally a struggle for power. Any strike, when it sprosda through the whole country, io a nonace to the bour­ geois State, and thus acquires a political character. To strive to overthrow the bourgeoisie, and to destroy its State, roans to carry on political warfare.0 8. CrcC-JHIST IBTERNATIORAL TRaDR URIOR ORQABIgATICnS 11. The agency through which the Comintern brought its revolutionary doctrines to the international trade union covenant was the Profintcrn, the Red Inter­ national of Trade Unions. The roaolutlone adopted by the Profintcrn at the first congress in 1921 echoed the objoctiven of the Comintern; the constitution confirmed the "close and unbreakable connections between the Red International of Trade Unionc and the Third Communist International”. As a commentary on the activities of the Profintern, it nay bo recalled that the Inter­ national Propaganda and Action Committees of the Red International of Trade Unions were directly involved in the 1926 General Strike in Great Britain. 12. The present-day succoseor of the Proflntem le the World Federation ef Trade Unions (WFTU). The organ!nation was eotnbliohcd in 1943 os a genuinely international labour novemont, although the attempts of the Soviet Union to dominate were evident from the beginning. In 1949 when the Western nations withdrew from UPTu to fern their own international labour associ­ ation, the Communist Party wan loft with a woll-ostnbliehcd organisation representing not only unions within the Soviet bloc, but also Communlot-controllcd labour unions within RATO countries. Since 1949 WFTU has achieved an adalniotrativo and operational structure never attained by the Profintcrn. It has extended its activities to every part of the globe. Of particular concern io the de groo of WFTU penetration in Asia, Africa and Latin America. 000084 �C OH u H m u - 413. Ona of tho onjor objoctlvoo of WFTU Is complete labour unity — on Coiouniot terms: one union for each industry; one national trade union centre for each country; one inter­ national trade union organisation. Both the imodlate and long-range alns of WFTU arc perhapo ' beat revealed through an examination of the duties of its Trade Union International (TUI*a). those dopartnonta were organised in 1949 and. 1950 in order to co-ordinate the activities of trade unions connected with designated induotrial targeta throughout the world: lumber, metal, and engineer­ ing (electrical), transport, mining, construction, communications, etc. The TUI*a have an earlier parallel in the International Propaganda and Action Conmitteee cetabllohed by the Profintern and, llko then, are concerned with supporting, if not actually sponsoring, strike action in capitalist and colonial countries alike. Tho TUI’s are charged with organ­ ising effective solidarity for workers on strike, with supporting tho struggle for ♦’proletarian internationalise", tho struggle against strike breakers and "reactionary” trade union leaders, and the struggle for peace. 14. Two specific objectives of WFTU should be emphasised in view of their international application. The first io the Solidarity Fund which was established in-1950 in order to support inter­ national strike revextents, propaganda campaigns and other Communist activities. Thio Fund has become increasingly important during the past ten voaro. A second major point is the KFTU international objective of a shorter work week with no reduction in pay, aimed specifically at raising the costs of production through­ out the world, thereby causing serious economic reper­ cussions. 15. It is evident from tho above that, by co-ordinating tho efforts of the 90-Qlllion-fieaber WFTU organisation and marshalling the support of Communist-controlled trade unions throughout the world, a vast nsohinory for disrupting the economy of Western nations la now functioning on a global basic. , c. PROGRAM OP THB..CtmmiST PARTY OF C AH ADA 16. Tho teneta of the Comintern are echoed in the publlohed draft of the current CP of C prograta: "Every economic battle which the workers and femora fight for their demands la at bottom a political fight". Tho CP of C. basing itself on the scientific theories of Karxism-Leninism, has outlined its main objectives in tho industrial field. First and foremost is the transfer of industrial and banking firns to public ownership. Those designated for imediatc attention uro tho CPR, tho bonks, International Hickel Company of Canada, General Electric, Bell Telephone, the Big Three of the auto* Industry and the big chain stores. This policy of nationalisation goos hand in hand with the CP of C’s avowed aln of destroying the hold of US monopoly on tho Canadian economy, a phase of tho Communist economic offensive against the USA. Along the some lines, the CP Of C pledges itself to return to tho peoples of • Brasil., Cuba, Hoxico and other countries tho rich holdings 000085 �- 5 of Canadian tsonopolioo in their territories and to cancel tho charter of copitallst monopolies incorporated in Canada but doing business else­ where. In taking over the Canadian holdings of tho US trusts, the CP of 0 prepoaeo to roly on th© support or the US working class and th© Latin teeriean people — the Communist application of th© principle of International working clans solidarity. 17. In order to achieve those economic objectives tho Communist Party stressed th© need for diverting trade union forces into the political arena through th© fomat ion of a political alliance with furcorn and fare organisations — a version of the united front technique. This is of particular significance in view of the recant formation of the Canadian "flew Party", which io designed to unite those sane groups In a new political organisation. Through the control of th© "How Party", which th© CP of C has already succeeded in infiltrating, the Comunist Party hopes to achieve its basic political and economic objectives. 13. According to th© recent analysis of th© development of aoclallsn, ae outlined at the I960 Moscow Conference of Coormnist and Workers* Parties, tho victory of the world socialist forces is nearer now than at any previous period in history. In reporting on tho outcome of tho conf©rune© tho General Secretary of tho CP of C predicted that oo cialls a would b© achieved "IS OUR TIMS*. Carlier ho had forecast that, within two years of tho form­ ation of a labour-farrar party, oocialicm could take control of the trad© union covenant in Canada. D. CURRENT OBJECTIVES OF THE C(ST.UJI3T PARTI OF CABAEA TH THS TRADE UBIOB FIELD 19. th© CP of C*o current objective© in th© trade union field wore outlined in a atatenent prepared for Party ceabero prior to the CLC con­ vention in April I960. Th© Party’© ain was to have the various items presented to the convention as in­ dependent rosolutiono endorsee by individual local©• Politically, the CP of C stressed the neod for international agro cn©nt on nuclear diaareaoent and urged that no restriction© be placed on the admission to the rank© of the Canadian "Bow Party”. Eeonoalcally, the Party opposed the control of th© Canadian economy by monopoly groups which support US foreign policies. Militarily, the Party proposed that: "Canada ahould refuse to perait any foreign power to establish nllitary baoca in this country; refuo© any foreign power porciasion to transport nilitary supplies or weapons anywhere in or over Canada; substantially re­ duce our own arced forces and military budget; withdraw froa all pacta, treaties and power blocs that threaten the peace of the world." 20. In the labour field, the Party proposed th© efltabliahaent of a national strike fund by the CIO, 000086 �CONFIDENTIAL - 6 and support of all unions (whether in the Congress or not) which wore involved in strike activity. Acceptance of thio proposal would bring about the unity of action and consolidation of union objectives which the C? of C is endeavouring to promote. The Party opposed any restrictions on the trade union movement and urged the repeal of labour legislation in Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia which could be invoked to suppress Communist Activities. The CP of C also urged the amendment of the constitutions of international unions in order to absolve local unions and officers in Canada from the provisions of American labour legislation (the Griffin-Landrum and Taft-Hartley Acts) which have been used to combat Communist gains in the trade union field. Other aims included the adulsiilon of expelled Communist-controlled unions into the CLC and the organisation of all unorganised labour groups. A major objective of tfFTU and the Comintern alike was recently stressed by a Canadian Cocnunist labour authority: nEvor since the Cozamunlet Party was established it championed the caueo of one trade union centre, one labor council in every town and city, and one union in every Industry, as an essential part of unitinc the working class to ad­ vance its economic and political aims.” E. THE POLITICAL NATURE OF STRIKE? 21. It has already been stressed that strikes represent a phase of the political struggle for power. It is also evident that Communist forces, both within individual nations and on the inter­ national level, are pursuing ovary means at their disposal to crento economic conditions which will render strikes unavoidable. The aim is, of course, political. Once the Party has been able to bring about a general strike which paralyses the entire nation, the stage is set to discredit and over­ throw the right-wing government then in power. In order to benefit politically from such a crisis, a new left-wing party under Communist control must be prepared to assume the leadership of the country. Therefore, simultaneously with the infiltration and control of the trade union movement, the Communist Party must develop a united front party of trade unionists and farmers. This political alliance has boon laid down as one of the *general prerequisites for the transition* to socialism end, according to the CP of C, it has been shown by world experience to be universally valid. 22. The ability of the CP of C to employ these tactics is of vital concern to Canada at the present time. Between late I960 and early 1962 negotiations are scheduled to take place involving union contracts with close to 60 companies in major 000087 �I UllUHmU - 7 - industries acrons th© country — electrical, Bluing, pulp and paper, rubber and chemical, oil, utilities, shipbuilding and transportation. Approx­ imately 290,100 union ecebers will be affected and the CP of C has been successful in penetrating alnost all of th© unions involved. Strikes are almost certain to develop, particularly in the field of transportation since there has been conaidorable unroot aeons the various railway unions. In this connection, it is interesting to note the prediction cad© by the CP of C national Trade Unions Secretary that Canada will bo swept by strikes during 1961. in. OROAflX RAT KM OP THE CANADIAN TRADE UNION NnVttlEHT 2J. The Canadian trade union aove&snt today is cade up of approximately la million makers divided into 3 nain groups of which 2 are central bodies. They are: (a) The Canadian Labour Congress CCLC) (b} The Confederation of National Trade Unions (CliTU) (Recently changed froa the Canadian and Catholic Confed­ eration of Labour (CCCL)) (c) The independents , i 24. The CLC, the l&rgeat body now rcpreoenting ww 1 nillion ncobora, *ms forced in Canada in Kay 1956 by the Bergins of the ’ Trades and Labour Congroan* (TLC) and the ’Canadian Congress of Labour* (CCL). there are in affiliation approximately 90 international unions. X? national and regional unione, and as secondary affiliated bodies 9 provincial feder­ ations and approximately 100 local labour count Ila. It has directly chartered approxicatoly 235 locale. 25. Although affiliation with the ’Inter­ national Confederation of Proc Trade Unions’ (ICPTU) has been ratalnod since the norger in 1956, connections date back oven further to Doccbbor 1949 when the TLC and CCL participated In the founding of thio inter­ national body. 26. Until recently, the CLC hoc not affiliated with any particular political party; however, with ito sponsorship of political action and alignment with the socialist party in Canada, the Co-Operative Coseonwealth Federation (CCF), there will ©cergo eoBotine in 1961 a now ’labonr-farasr* organisation, referred to for the ties being ce the ’Bow Party1. 27. The CNTU in existence in Canada since 1921, han in affiliation 13 federations and as secondary bodies, 16 local labour councils. It has 64 directly chartered unions, all confined to the Province of Quebec. The nombership nunbars Just over 100,000 for 000088 �7, UnnmiU - 8 all affiliates in a grand total of approximately AHO locals. Thia body io licked in Interactional affiliation with the "InternHtionul Federation of Christian Trade Unions" (IFCTO). There la no known political affiliation. 2d. Together, the CLCand the CUTU represent in excess of B03 of all organised labour in Canada, although only 253 of the total labour force io actually organised. 29. The reeaining trade union acabora in Canada are organised Internationally, nationally and regionally in the independent, group. Five of the seven unions which are Ccaauniot-dowlnated at the top executive eomaittoo level ar© froa thio bloc. They arej (a) International Union ©f Mine, Will and BaaIt or Varkers (IUW>T*SW) (b) United unjvuu Electrical, UAUuwnvujk, Radio num end Wachino Workers of America (US) (c) United Fichoraen and Allied Workers’ Union (UPAWU) (d) Canadian Textile Council (CTC) (e) Vancouver Civic Esployooa* Union, Outside Workers Tho two other Coasuniat-dominated unions are the Karin© Workers and Bollereakers Industrial Union, Local £1 (of the Shipyard General Verkoro* Federation of British Columbia) and tho International Longohorcoon’s and Varehousoren’o Union (ILtfU). Both have retained their affiliation with th© CLC. IV. posinon op the cammsT pahtt ih the tradb union KDVEarnr ______ .______________ A. oramt backgrouhb JO. Of th© 502 trade unions in Canada, approxitatoly one-third arc infiltrated to sone degree by oenbera of tho CP of C and Conruniet ease language and front organisations. Hosever, thio docn not give an accurate picture since both ©inor and major unions are included in the total union ficurea. Actually tho Party ©aphasia is on unions which have a vital role in the nation’o coonony and these are included in tho one-third total. It night bo well to explain hero that active Party work in unions is entrusted only to Bechers of the CP of C. Because of the lack of security * and discipline in other Communist organisations, the main task of Communist supporters and aynpathisor© is to endorse Party proposal© Initiated by CP of C ocabera. 000089 �F. £o«£I £1 AL - 9 - 31# At the present time the CP of C is placing particular emphasis on penetrating the stool, auto, railway and lumber industries. Bone of the unions with contracts in these fields is actually Coeaunist-controlled on the top executive committee level. However, thio statement gives a false impression of the Party's present strength in the industries named since it fails to take into ac­ count those unions in which ths Party has already achieved significant control or influence on lower levels. B. COrT.UniST-CONTROLLED UHIOflS < 32. Most of the Gocmuniet-controlled unions are well-known to the general trade union movement and all but two have been excluded from the ranks of the CLC. These unions are listed below: (1) Mine-Hill 33. The International Union of Mino-Mill and Soolter Workers (IUM/&SW) (33»OOO members) was expelled from the Canadian CCL in 1949 and from tho US CIO in 1950. In Canada the basis for exclusion was on jurisdictional grounds, involving a dispute with tho USW of A, whereas in the USA the CIO invoked an anti-Cocmunist clause in its constitution. Al­ though readmission to the loading Canadian labour organisation has often been dlecussed, the CLC execu­ tive has emphasised repeatedly its position that tho union must be free from Communist control before it can be considered for CLC affiliation. Ono of the best known Cocmuniet in Mine-Mill, Harvey MURPHY, publicly disassociated himself from the CP of C in an attempt to free the IUK7&SH from attack. However, tho national Executive of the union has been under Communist domination for so many yearo'that the alleged resignation of a single member was obviously of little account. 34. In early 1959 the Communist leader­ ship of the 14,000-monber Sudbury Local 598 (the largest lUMM&SW local) wae ousted by a reform group. Since that time the Mine-Hill National Executive has been waging full-scale war against the executive of the local, both publicly and within tho framework of the union itself. The struggle for control of Local 598 is by no eaans over. This local is still infil­ trated to a considerable degree on the rank and file level. The National Executive and officers of the various Mine-Hill Districts in Canada are completely under Communist domination. 35. XUKM&Stf (which has its headquarters in tho USA) openly affiliated with the International Communist labour movement, PFTU, in 1950. Until 1956 there was no public Indication that the union had disassociated itself from tho Communist world organ­ isation and in January 1956 a Mine-Mill publication still claimed membership in the movement. However, In the February 1956 issue of tho sane publication, IUMM&3M denied affiliation. Be that as it may, daring the 1958 IVIt-ikS^ strike against the Inter000090 �e HI a 14 - 10 - national Hickel Company at Sudbury and Fort Colbomc, Locals 596 and 637 received approximately 610,000.00 from overseas sources, Including WFTU, WFTU affiliates in the USSR and France, and miners* unions in Scotland, South Kalos and Australia which are presumod to bo WFTU affiliates. (11) United metrical 36. Undoubtedly the beat-organised union in Canada under Communist control la the 18,500-aenber United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America‘(UERfcMWA) (Ind.). •‘’Open" Party members are to be found among the Executive of District 5 (Canada) as wall as among the Presidents, executive members and union officials of the various locals. 37« Like the lUM&tSW, United Electrical was expelled from the CIO and CCL in 1949 and 1950. Although it has never publicly affiliated with WFTU, the Canadian Executive of UERWSfA has consistently supported this organisation. Since 1949 when the legitimate trade unions broke from WFTU to found ICFTU, the UEWCfA’s support of WFTU has been pro­ nounced. It has publicly advocated affiliation with a Trade Union International of WFTU; UE executive nonborn have attended WFTU conferences; the union it­ self has promoted, whenever possible, WFTU’s.political lino. Perhaps the cost striking example of this Is ths relationship between the UKRftMWA and the Chinese Machine Industry Union which was fostered by WFTU as early as 1953 and which has resulted in an exchange of delegates between the two unions An 1959 and I960. 36. There is one more point to be empha­ sised. There are four major electrical unions in Canada with a nenborship of approximately 80,000. Ono of those, the UER&M/A (Ind.), with 18,500 members is Communist-controlled. A largo local of the 36,700monber International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEU) (AFL-CXO/CLC) has been penetrated on the rankand-file level In Vancouver, although the international executive of the union has perservarad in ridding the local's executive of Communists. There has also been soma infiltration of the northern Electric Employee Association (Ind.) which has 7,288 members. Only the fourth union, the 16,500 member International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers (AFL-CXO/CLC), has not yet been infiltrated to any oxtent. It 1s evident from the above that Communists have considerable in­ fluence in the electrical industry in Canada. Just recently the UER&KUA has begun to invade IBEW territory In Alberta with the help of a prominent Communist who was expelled from the IBEW in 1955. Hare as elsewhere the Communist attack continues. (ii1) United Fishermen 39. The United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union (UFAUU) (2nd.), a national union, was suspended from the TLC in 1953 because ths union wan declared to be under Communist domination. In actual fact, Communist * "Open" meaning identified within the Party as a dues paying esnbor and usually associated with a regular Party Club. 000091 �*. £0NFij2£liIlAii - 11 penetration of this union dates from its formation in 1945. Since its suspension the UPAHU has operated independently in Canada with 29 local© and a membership of 7,100. All of the locals are in British Columbia. Tho union has made several attempts to become affiliated with the CLC, but to date it has not been successful. The exclusion of the UFAttU from the TLC and its failure to win ad­ mission to tho CLG has automatically barred the union from affiliation with the British Columbia Federation of Labour and tho various regional labour councils. However, tho UFAWU has bean successful In channelling it6 efforto into the international field. It was instrumental in arranging a Four Hations* Conference on fiehing at Vancouver in 1959. Thia conference was attended by US, Japanese, Soviet and Canadian delegates. In I960 a delegation from the UFAWU paid a reciprocal visit to the Soviet Union as guests of the Soviet Food Workers Union. In view of tho aaaociatione between the UFAWU and WFTU which have recently beoccw evident, it would be logical to assume that tho international organisation was involved in both 1959 and I960. kQ, The importance of the Party’s control over the UFAWU becomes truly apparent when it is realised that, although operating only in British Columbia, this union represents easily two-thirds of tho deep-sea fishermen who are organised in unions. In addition, the UFAWU la affiliated with a Jest Coast Indian fishing union, tho fiatlvo Brotherhood of British Columbia. Honce, all organised deep-sea fiehing on tho best Coast of Canada is subject to Communist domination. 41. With regard to Communist control of thia union, it i© readily apparent that the UFASfB la Infiltrated at every level and by "open" Party members. In tho I960 provincial elections in British Columbia the union was publicly identified with the CP of C when Honor 3TBVEHS, UFAWU Secretary Treasurer, accepted hi© nomination as a CP of C candidate. Actually the policies of the union, a© publicly stated in tho Communist prose, have long echoed the Party line. (lv) Textile Workers 42. The Canadian Textile Council (CTC) (Ind.) was established by Communists who had been expelled from the Canadian leadership of the United Tuxtile Workers of America in 1951* It has remained a small organisation, representing only 2,000 members. 43. Although the CTC is not influential in the labour field, it ha© links with the ’’open" Party, with WFTU and with Communist front organisations. One of the front gro*pa, the Canadian Chinese Friendship .Society, was founded in Montreal in 1959. By September I960 a aembor of the executive of tho CTC headed a delegation to China. The group was sponsored by the Canadian Chinese front organisation In conjunction with the CP of C; its expenses were to be paid by the Chinese Government; its chief function was to Bpread propaganda favourable to tho Chinese People’s Republic when the delegato8 returned to Canada. 000092 �* coSEXI A 1 -12 - (v) Civic Ennloyees 44, Th© Vancouver Civic Employees* Union, Outside Workers, (Ind.) was expelled fron ;the TlC in 1951 on charges of Communist domination. The 1,500-manber local has cade repeated attempts to join the ranks of the national Union of Public Employees (HUPE)(CLC), but without success, since it io not affiliated with tho CLC. The union It­ self Is headed by "open" Party asenbers, one of whom accepted the nomination as CP of C candidate in the I960 provincial elections in British Columbia. 45. Since this union is not accepted by the main labour organizations in British Columbia, its activities are Halted chiefly to straight propa­ ganda work, which it carries out more than adequately. Besides the publicity given tho union by the Conaunist press, the union’s publication, issued twice monthly In 900 copies, is reported to be circulated to civic unions in every province. Hence tho union, however weak at tho present time. cannot be consid­ ered to be an isolated organisation known only in Vancouver. (vi) Shipyard and Bollemaktra Unions 46. The Shipyard General Workers• Fed­ eration of British Columbia io one of the two Cooaunlst-dorainated unions presently affiliated with the CLC. The Federation itself, which has no inter­ national affiliation, is conpoaod of four earth er unions with a total nonborship of 3,125. Only one of the chartered unions, the Karine Verters and Boilernakero Industrial Union Local #1, Vancouver, la heavily Infiltrated by th® CP of C. However, the KH&BMXU eoobars arc extreaely vocal and dominate the Federation. They have been particularly successful in securing the adoption of CP of C ninor political action resolutions by the Vancouver and District Labour Council and the British Columbia Federation . of Labour. By early 1959 practically all of the CP of C strength within the ffiSkOO was concentrated at the Burrard Dry Dock and the Western Bridge and Steel Co. Ltd. in Vancouver. There was very little CP of C infiltration of plants of other companies with which the KK&BMXU holds ’’closed-shop" agreeaents. As a point of interest Local #1 wont on strike on January 19, 1961. > 47• The association of the Shipyard General Workers Union with the Concunist eovenent dates fron at least 1940. Since the War the union has been headed by a prominent Comunist, who re­ cently camo out publicly ns a CP of C candidate in the 1960 provincial elections, thus publicly linking both unions with the CP of C. In December I960 the iCf&BHIU joined other Communist-dominated unions and locals in pressing for a trade union delegation to be sent to Cuba. This cove, which wan engineered by 000093 �CONFIDENTIAL - 13 th® Forty, is in open defiance of the CLC’s ban on Labour delegations to this Latin American country. The CP of C expects, by this action, either to forte the CLC to remain neutral on the Cuban issue, or to secure propaganda advantages at the expense of having the MWhBMIU expelled from the CLC. 4#« The two men heading both the Federation and tho WftBMIU have shown some interest in a corr­ esponding East Coast union, the Marine Workers Fed­ eration. This is of particular significance sine© one of the locals of tho East Coast union is under contract with the Halifax Shipyards. As to be expect­ ed, a member of the executive of this local, tho Industrial Union of Shipbuilding Workers, Local $ 1, was formerly an "open* Party member. He also holds an executive position with the 2,600-raember Marine Workers Federation, which serves sections of tho Maritimes and Quebec. Hence, although there is very little Communist infiltration In the Bast Coast locals, the shipbuilding unions at both Halifax and Vancouver are headed by Communists. 49. As for tho association between East Coast and West Coast unions, in I960 the West Coast leaders of th© Shipyard General Workers Federation of British Columbia attended a conference of Bast Coast shipping unions (including the Marino Workers Federation) which adopted a long-range objective of national standard! seat ion of wages and working condit­ ions. Two years earlier a Communist-controlled labour research agency was advised of a move to form­ ulate joint action in East Coast shinworters* unions, including the Marine Workers Federation. The inten­ tion then was to arrange for the Communist-controll­ ed labour research group to do th© necessary resear­ ch and statistical work. (vii) Longshoremen*8 Union 50. Th® Cocsunist associations of th© International Longshoremen*s and Warehousemen's Union ar© notorious and date from at leant 193#. Tho union was finally expelled from th® CIO in 1950. One of th® cost obvious indications of its political affil­ iations was the appointment of Harry BRIDGES (than as now the union's Preoident) as head of the Trade Union International of Seamen and Dockers when this section of WFTU was founded in July 1949. Louis GOLDBLATT (then as now Secretary of the ILW) was a delegate from his union to the same conference. By 1950 the ILWU was publicly affiliated with WFTU. 51* In spite'of the definite links of th© international union with the Communist movement, the ILWU in Canada remained within th© CLC. In December 1959, the Canadian Division came definitely under th© control of the Party. The new ILWU Canadian President is an "open" Party member; his father is publicly identified with the CP of C and has had public associations with tfFTU. By December 000094 �CONFIDENTIAL 14 I960 the Canadian Division and its 12 locale cane out openly in favour of sending a delegation of trade unionists to Cuba. As stated in the section dealing with the KW&BMIU Local # 1, this project, which is being sponsored by the CP of C, has been condemned by the CLC. It remains to be seen what action will bo taken against the two Communistcontrolled unions which aro now attempting to force the CLC’s hand with regard to CUBA. ~ C. PENETRATION OP UNIONS OTHER THAN THOSE CONTROLLED BY COMMUNISTS (i) General Background The extent of Communist penetration 52. of other unions is more difficult to assess, but obviously of considerable importance. The fact that the executive positions of many Canadian unions are no longer held by Communists is directly the result of action by American labour groups. During the 1949 -1953 period the AFL and CIO, then independent, made concerted efforts to rid the international unions affiliated with them of known Communists. The TLC and CCL, which were affiliated with the AFL and CIO respectively, followed suit. The major unions in Canada which were affected are listed below. 53. (1) The International Fur and Leather Workers Union (IFLWU) was expelled by the CIO in 1950 and by the CCL in 1951. Later the IFLWU arrang­ ed a merger with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America. However, this union held affiliation with the AFL a nd TLC and only agreed to merger after the expulsion of four leading Canadian Communists. The IFLWU is now non-existent, but both ’’open” and "undercover** Party members have remained in office in the Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg sections of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union. In January 1951 the United Brotherhood (2) 54. of Carpenters and Joiners of America (APL-TLC) expelled the executive of the Port Arthur, Ontario, local of its Sawmill Workers Division on the grounds that the local leadership was Communist. The expell­ ed executive set up a rival union known as the Canad­ ian Union of Woodworkers. The Secretary of the new union was Bruce MAGNUSSON, now the Ontario Leader of the CP of C. Although the union lasted only ten months, it had already considered affiliation with WFTU. 55. The Canadian Union of Woodworkers is now defunct, but there are still Communist elements in two areas served by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joinorst the Port Arthur-Port William area and Vancouver Local fi 452. In 1959 an "open*1 Party member from Port Arthur, Ontario, attended a WFTU conference of the Trade Unione International of Workers of the Building, Wood and Building Matertale 000095 �C 0 H T I D F. « T I AL 15 Industries, which was held in Budapest, Hungary. The delegate’s return fare was to be paid in Helsinki, then the Headquarters of that particular WFTU TUI. A Vancouver local of the Brotherhood has long been controlled by the CP of C and its members have served as delegates to the District Council of Carpenters, the British Columbia Federation of Labour aid the CI.G. It is this local which has recently come out publicly in favour of sending trade union delegates to Cuba, thereby joining forces with known Comunist-eontrolled unions and attacking the CLC from within. There were earlier indications that WFTU maintained direct contact with another member of the Carpenters Union in Sudbury, Ontario. Thio is in line with WFTU’s apparent policy of keeping in touch directly with "open" Party members who are trade unionists. 56. '■ (3) The United Textile Workers of America expelled the Canadian leadership of their union in 1951. Subsequently the expelled leaders established the Canadian Textile Council, This has already been reported under tho section oh CTC. 57. Two other points should be raised. Since only one quarter of the Canadian labour force is organized, obviously a study of Communist penetration of trade unions will not provide a complete picture of Communist industrial penetration. Furthermore, the influence of large corporations must bo considered since many have found it expedient to negotiate with Communistcontrolled unions. Recently one such union was obviously assisted in expanding its jurisdiction by tho company with which it has held contracts for many yoars. The reason for such co-operation appears to ba that Coraiunistcontrolled unions, which generally belong to the independent group, are financially weaker and loos demanding than unions which have CLC support and enormous strike funds at their disposal. (11) Comunist-Infiltrated Unions 58* With regard to the infiltration of unions other than thoee in target industries or under Communist domination, at leant 35 have been penetrated at various levels by CP of C memberb who are directly associated with the Party*a "open" organisation. Thia does not include additional unions infiltrated by members of mass language and front organisations or by "undercover" Party members. The unions involved include thoee affecting: "(1) transportation (street railway and teamsters)(Railway unions are not included since they have been dealt with separately) (2) construction (bricklayers, iron workers, boilermakers, shipbuilders, labourers, foundry workers) (3) papermill workers (4) food (bakery, frtfc and vegetable workers) 000096 �COWFIDKHTIAL - 16 (5) , (6) packinghouse workers (7) fur ond leather workers (6) civic and public employees (chiefly in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario) (9) carpenters, decorators and upholst­ erers (10) clothing workers (textile end garment workers} (11) conaunlcatlone workers (in British Columbia) (12) fire-fighters (United) (13) machinists (of considerable import­ ance because of their contracts with railways and aircraft industries etc) (U) oil, chemical and atonic workers (15) office employees (chiefly in British Columbia) (16) plumbers and pipefitters (17) hotel and restaurant workers (16) tobacco workers (United) rubber workers Penetration is chiefly on the rank59. and file level, but there are numerous Communists well-entrenched in the unions at every level from the International Representative positions on down. D. TARGET INDUSTRIES (1) Hallways 60. Undoubtedly the most heavily pene­ trated unions are those connected with railways. Thia penetration As on a national basis, but is, of course, concentrated in centres such as Montreal, Toronto, London, Port Arthur-Fort Williao, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. All-told approximately 21 unions are Involved, but, as far as can be determined at this stage, the penetration io almost entirely on the rank-and-file level. Direct "open* CP of C contact is maintained at the local industrial club level in the centres where railway clubs exist, and by the Party Trade Union Comlssions from the regional to the national level. 000097 �COW FIDENT I A L 17 (11) Steel Industry 61. The infiltration of the steel industry io another basic task undertaken by the CP of C. Although the other three industries specifically designated as Party objectives are of considerable importance, the adoption of the steel industry as a fourth target is aimed directly at disrupting the nation’s economy and blocking Canada’s armament program. 62. The various sections of the steel industry are scattered across Canada, but the major companies ere located in Southern Ontario. The steelworkers in this area have been organised by the 0nitcd Steelworkers of America (AFL-CIO/CLC) and several independent unions. These have been infiltrated on the rank-and-file level by Communist and Communist supporters. However, there is a definite lack of CP of C members on the executive level of the locals. This is evident from the fact that no Steelworkers are known to bo represented on the Party’s Trade Union Commissions. Furthermore, according to a CP,of C memorandum, iosued in I960, there was very little Party activity in the steel industry during that year. In this connection the CP of C recently decided to have a Party member gain influence within the steel industry. The Party is prepared to devote at least a year to this project. (ill) Auto Industry Another major target Is the auto The workers in this field are organised in one major union, the International Union, United . Automobile, Aircraft, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW)(AFL-CIO/CLC) with 60,968 members, chiefly in Ontario. There is considerable rank-and-file penetration in tho locals in the Oshawa-Toronto-Brantford-Bt. Catharinco-Uindsor area (Southern Ontario). In addition, a few key posts, such as Chairman of the Shop Bargaining Committees and Chairman of tho Political Action Committees, are held by CP of C members. Hence the Party’o position in the auto industry is much stronger than in steel. This can also be seen from the fact that autoworkers have held positions on the various trade union ooismlooions of the Party in Toronto and Southern Ontario. The emphasis placed on tho auto Industry is also evident from the reg­ ular CP of C meetings held for Party autoworkers. 63. industry. (iv) Lumber Industry 64* The lumber industry has long boon a major target of the CP of C. The main union In­ volved is the International Woodworker® of America (IWA)(AFL-CIO/CLC) with 36,688 members. The Party’ll chief efforts have been in British Columbia where CP of C "open” members have penetrated at least 9 of the 13 locals both on the mainland and on Vancouver Island. However, the Party ie by no means satisfied with its success in the lumber field. In spite of the fact that several CP of C members hold positions on the union locals, no Party members were Included 000098 �CONFIDE H T I A I. 18 - among the 72 XWA delegates to tho DC Federation of Labour Conventions in 1959 nor was tho Party represented in i960. One interesting Party tech­ nique in Hritioh Columbia has been tho nomination of several trade unionists as CP of C candidates in both federal and provincial elections. At least three IUA members have accepted the Party nomination during the 1958-1960 period. This public identi­ fication of trade unionists as Party members, although preached in other areas, has only become actual practice in British Columbia. There are no Indications of any counter-actions from the Canadian leadership, although the IUA international office has recenlty made a move against one of the cand­ idates, possibly because his local joined other Communist-controlled trade union groups in BC in pressing for a trade union delegation to Cuba. V. PARTY APPARATUS FOR ACTIVITY IN THE TRADE UNION FIELD__________________________________ A. STRUCTURE 65. For purposes of directing activity in the trade union field, the Party is organised on various "levels’* of security. The no st obvious groups are the Party’s Trade Union Commissions, which exist on tho national, provincial and regional level, and the industrial clubs, which have been organised in the major centres. Almost without exception, all members, particularly on the lower levels, are "open" Party members. However, the moot basic level of Party organisation Is within tho union locals. According to the statement of aims of the First Congress of the Communist International: "....the Communists must strive to create as far as possible complete unity between the trade unions and the Commun­ ist Party, and to subordinate the unions to the leadership of the party, as the advanced guard of the workers’ revolution. For this purpose the Communists should have Communist fractions in all the trade unions and factory committees and acquire by their moans an influence over the labor movement and direct it." 66. Xt iu through the existence of Party fractions, working together with left-wing trade unionists and Comuni st sympathisers, that the CP of C has been able to secure the election of its candidates and gain control of individual locale and unions through the medium of the rank-end-filo. B. COMPOSITION 67There are as yet no available totals on the percentage of CP of C members who are trade unionists. The cost detailed figures have been re­ ceived from British Columbia where there are 300 000099 �oonpipnngXAL • 19 trade unionists. Thio total represents slightly loss than one-half of tbo total Party meborship within the Province and bus been generally confirond during the past few years, Lobo than 50# are organiBOd in industrial clubs. In Toronto, the centre where there io the largest concentration of Party eochoro, only 152 are organised in industrial clubs, The total nu—hev of Caw^antat trade unionicto in Toronto clone was octicatod at 175*200 in 1958* considerably loos than one-third of the total Earner­ ship in Toronto, This, however, is only an eotiaato, 68, Xt night bo stated hare that approxlrntaly one-half of the total nonborshlp of the CP of C io concentrated in Toronto and in British Columbia. These arc the arena in Which the Party is host organised. 0. ACTIVITIES c 69. The activities of thia "open* Party organisation in ths trade union field are fairly obvious t OHQAnizAgion 1. infiltration of the renk-andfilo trade union covenant by Ecrcbera of the industrial clubs; rocrultrant of trade union officials at the nogotfating level (or higher) into the CP of C; 2. attempts to have Party twnbera secure the positions of union shop stew­ ards and bhainoao agents; 3. •atteapts to have Party nonbora or cynpathisom elected to the oxo outIvo of tbo union locale and to the executive of ths regional and national offices; u. attempts to have Party conboro or cycpathlBoro elected as executive coshers of the District Labour Councils and the Provinaiol Federations of Labour. 5. attempts to have Party eschars or nyispathisora elootod as delegates to the conventions of the Diotriot Councils, Provincial Federations of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress; 6. attempts to influence contract negotiations, (The Party gives direct guidance to Party nosbora involved in union nogotiationo.

The Party has been most successful with the UER&MWA (Ind.J which adopted a whole series of Party proposals at its Convention in 195$• Th© following year the UER&14MA published a do•• tailed criticism of the 1959-60 Federal military budget of 1710 million dollars, proposing that these funds be diverted to various projects such as housing, hospitals and research and that major tax reductions be introduced. Individual locals of unions affiliated with the CLC have frequently been successful in having the Party line (regard­ ing peace, disarmament, exchange of trade union delegations with the U.S.3.R. and Satellite countries, etc.) adopted by District Labour Councils and Provincial Federations of Labour • 1. 2. VI. attempts to have the constitution of unions altered if the constitution contained an anti-Cocmunist clause. To date the Party's efforts have not been successful. COMMUNIST PENETRATION TECHNIQUES AMD MRTHODS 70. Various methods of Communist penetration techniques in trade unions were defined in the Theses adopted by the Comintern in 1921s "The fractions oust carefully prepare the participation of the communists in conf­ erences and.meetings of the trade union organisations. For instance, they must elaborate proposals, select lectures and counsel and put up as candidates for election, capable, experienced and energetic comrades." "The Communist organisation must, through their fractions, also make careful prep­ arations in connection with all workers* meetings, election meetings, demonstrations, political festivals and such like, arranged by the hostile organisations. Wherever Communists convene their own workers* meetings, they must endeavour to have considerable groups of communists distributed among the audience, and they oust make all due preparations for the assurance of satisfactory propaganda results.* 000101 �c r» m y t n f >? t i 21 71. The Communist fraction in a trade union is a well-disciplined, woll-orgenisod caucus of Party members and fellow-travellers. Usually a few of the select Belabors of the fraction will assemble before a union mooting to plan strategy and to determine the parts to be played during the union meeting by each member. During the union Besting all Communists and their followers take their cue Iron the select members of the fraction and their successes result largely from the fact ■ that a well-trained and disciplined minority can outwit an organised, divided and perhaps confused majority. One of the cost familiar Communist tac­ tics is to delay the adjournment of a meeting until many trade unionists have gone home. Then, with a working majority, the Cocuaunista and their followers bring out their resolutions and rush them through, or secure the election of a Commun­ ist slate of officers. When opposition to the Coeaunists in a trade union gets too strong, undetected or unknown Communists or followers run for office against the known Communists. This splits the opposition vote so that the Communists stay in power. Cl COUNTER-ACTION VII. A. BY GOVERNMENTS 72. There have been attempts to curb Communist activities in trade unions by three methods: (1) decertification of unions or refusal to certify; (2) legislation directed specifically against Comounlata; (3) legislation Uniting strikes, sympathy strikes and picket-lines. These are dealt with separately below. (1) Certification 73. In Canada certification of unions to represent various labour groups is controlled by . Provincial Labour Relations Boards. However, accord­ ing to a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, these Boards nay not refuse to certify Coanunlstcontrolled unions. unions, An important test case is described below. 74* During December 1951 the Nova Scotia Labour Relations Board refused to grant bargaining certification to fivec applications Of the Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of Canada on the grounds that James K. BELL, the organiser and meabor of the executive, waa active in the Communist movement. This decision of the Nova Scotia Labour Relations Board was appealed to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court and that body ruled that the Labour Relations Board did not have the power to refuse 000102 �- C 0 B F I DE N T I AL 22 - certification on these grounds. The decision of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court was then appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada which, on June 6, 1953. handed down a decision upholding that of the Nova Scotia Supremo Court. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a Provincial Labour Relations Board was not justified in refusing to certify a trade union because its organiser was a Communist. In commenting on the decision, Mr. Justice RAND declared that Communist domination of the union was made evident by BELL'S forcefulness in a key position and by his acceptance of Coesiunist teach** Ings. He stated that no one could doubt the consequences of such doctrines, but that there was no law In Canada against holding Communist views or in fact ©gains t being a member of the CP of C or a group supporting them. He pointed out that the Communist Party io a legal political party In: Canada and that DELL, as a member, is eligible for election or appointment to the highest political offices In the land. Mr. Justice RAND went on to point out that the Nova Beotia Labour Relations Board is appointed by and derives its power from the Nova Scotia Legislature. He asked on what grounds thio same Board sought to exclude BELL from a labour union or from the benefit of statute when BELL was eligible for election to the same Legislature. (11) Legislation Against Cortnuniats 75* There is no definite ruling on whether or not a Province has the authority to enact legislation which would preclude Communists from certain trade union offices, despite the fact that in Quebec, the Labour Relations Act has specific provisions along these lines. The Quebec Act has never been tested in court and there is some doubt as to its validity. The Labour Relations Act is aimed at preventing Communists from becoming union organisers. The Act states that any union which • has Coanunists on its executive or which has Communist organisers will be refused certification or, if the union is already certified, the Act sets up machinery for decertification. There is no legislation in other provinces specifically aimed at preventing Communists from obtaining union positions. However, the Supreme Court of British Columbia held that th© court could take Judicial notice (i.e. axiomatic) of the fact that Communism Is inimical to free trade unionism and as such -a* member of the Communist Party could be expelled from the union for hie Communist activities, as they were contrary to th© best Interests of the union. . (Hl) Legislation Limiting Strikes and ’, Picket-Lines ' 76. In two provinces, Quebec and British Columbia, provincial legislation has been enacted to make unions liable for damages caused during strikes, etc., and for damages caused-by members of the unions while employed on union business. Two other provinces 000103 �C 0 II F I D E H T I A L 23 Ontario and Newfoundland, have also adopted legislation placing certain limitations on strikes and picket-linen. It io interesting to note that the appeal of these statutes in all four provinces has been adopted as one of the aims of the CP of C. E. BY TRADE UNIONS AND FEDERATIONS 77, As shown above there is very little legislation in Canada which can be applied to counteracting the influence of Comnuniats in trade unions. The task of checking the progress of Connauniat control falls to trade unions end trade union federations. 7&. Because of the preponderance of international unions in Canada, the impetus for freeing Canadian unions from Communist Influtnce han been provided chiefly by US legislation and US labour organisations. As stated earlier, during the 1949-1953 period the AFL and CIO made concerted efforts to rid the unions affiliated with then of Communist influence. Their actions extended to Canada where the process was carried out by the- TL'C - (affiliated- with the AFL) and the CCL .(affiliated ? * . Thoir programme had three major with the CIO) effects: (1) Communist-controlled unions wore expelled iron the legitimate trade union organisations (e.g. lUtfl&flW, UER&MWA, UFAWU, Vancouver Civic Employees* Union, Outside Workers, and the Canadian Seamen's Union)• (2) The Comuuniat-leadorship of other unions was forced to resign (e.g. IFLWU, International Chemical Workers of America, United Textile Workers of America, Inter­ national Brotherhood of Electrical Workers). (3) Cooffluniat-controlled unions were established by the expelled Canadian leaders of international unions (e.g. Canadian Textile Council). Ao seen from the above the TLC’s and 79. CCL’a action extended not only to locals of inter­ national unions, but also to a few strictly Canadian unions. However, since their efforts wore not supported by Canadian legislation, a great cany Conauniats were left untouched in their executive positions. dO. The major labour organisation in Canada at the present tine, the CLC, has specific pro-, visions in its constitution to bar Consuniats from membership. This sane type of clause has been adopted by the provincial Federations of Labour and District Labour Councils affiliated with the CLC. It can be effectively used only agaimt persons who are publicly 000104 �r con f t n »: w t t a l 24 - identified with the CP of C. However, in actual fact, the CLC has made no attempt to rid itself or its affiliates of Communists. Thia is-true even when trade unionists become publicly identified as CP of C members or when CLC-affiliated unions openly sponsor Communist programs which are contrary to CLC policy. Bl. Another method of attack against Communists in unions is directed by the unions them­ selves. Some unions, e.g. the IBEW, have an antiCociisuniat clause in their constitution and have used this to rid the executive of their locals of Communists. One prominent case involved George GEE, who was ex­ pelled from Local 213, IBEW, in Vancouver, through the efforts of the international office. The IBE’rf has made repeated efforts to restrict Communist influence in this local to the rank-and-file. Another recent example took place during I960 when Paul SIREN, UAW representative for 17 years, was fired for taking directives from the CP of C during the 1955 General Motors strike. 82. With regard, to the legality of the unions* anti-Cocnuniot clause, it was shown above that the Supreme Court of British Columbia, talking judicial notice of the fact that Communism is inimical to free trade unionism, recognised the rights of the IDEM to expel a Communist from its ranks. ,. 000105 �CMP - 6027 A-5 ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE TRANSIT SUP FOR HEADQUARTERS USE .. 7. z.a.^.£z^/__ fl's To...
