Vol. XIII HOLLY BURN P.O ., W EST VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY, J U N E 23rd, 1938 N o . 12 THE VANCOUVER RIOTS "ELEPHANT BOY" THRILLS COMING EVENTS The long dispute over the-vjilidity of the Canadian Con­ stitution with thfe consequent quarrelling between Ottawa and the provinces as to their several rights and responsibilities has resulted for some time in thq passing of the buck from one to the other on the part of each. At the present moment none know exactly where they stand, and it is this which at the bottom was responsible for the long delay in evicting the .sitdowh strikers, which delay, was again the chief cause of.. Sunday*s trouble. - The police were, as it turned out, compelled to use. force in clearing the post/*bffice, but we can see no* possible excuse I'di' their beating up of the strikeVs in the street oiitside. NcnsrOf course,- had the strikers the smallest justification~for.. tlh'ii' subsequent destruction of private property. It will be a hbomerang which will cbst them dear iiT the way of public sympathy. ■ * ^ ' -They say. they want work. We would suggest that Vic-' toria get in touch with members of thie legisla-ture represent: ing rural constituencies, who could turn in. to the provincial . minister of labor the names of farmers needing and willing to employ help. We believe that work would be found waiting for all the strikers, and their transportation to it should be paid by the provincial and federal governments. It may not be the kind of work many would choose, and there may be little prospects of advancement in it,~ but at this time there is no'one~ anywhere in the land who is sure of his business or .job or who has any definite prpspects. „ . We are taking them at their word that they want work.
