"UNION LEADER RECALLS: No Oakalla dining room, just cold beans in a cell," Vancouver Sun. June 6, 1970. Page 3. ---- By JES ODAM Being a union leader in jail is a dish of cold beans in your cell and a quick move to a forestry camp on the eve of a prison inspection.

At least, this is the way Jeff Power, president of the Marine Workers and Boilermakers Union, found it in 1966 when he was jailed for three months after being found guilty of criminal contempt of court.

The action arose from demonstrations outside the Burnaby plant of Lenkurt Electric after an injunction had been issued.

Three other city labor leaders accompanied Power to jail - Paddy Neale, secretary of Vancouver Labor Council; Tom Clarke, now dead, but at that time vice-president of the Vancouver local of the International Woodworkers of America, and Art O'Keeffe, former business agent of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

Their sentences varied from Power's three months up to six months for Neale and Clarke and four months for O'Keeffe.

"We were taken into Oakalla at night," Power recalled Friday.

"They switched us into prison clothing, put us in two-men cells and gave us cold beans to eat.

"Art (O'Keeffe) was in the cell with me and said he guessed we would be taken into the dining room in the morning, but I knew he was in for a surprise.

"In the morning they marched us down two or three levels to get our food and then back to the cell again to eat it.

"We were shifted out of Oakalla pretty quick to a forestry camp near Chilliwack.

"At first they said they would not send us to a camp but there was a group of people due to come round to look at the conditions and they shifted us out quick before they arrived." Power added.

He said Oakalla is a pretty rough place to be.

"I rode freight trains in the 30s but there's nothing worse than Oakalla," he added. "It is unbelievable."

Power said his union has wired federal Justice Minister John Turner requesting him to look at the actions of B.C. courts.

"We think they are actions in violation of all civil rights," he added.

He said in the case of jailed towboat negotiator Arnold Davis, the court heard the views of the company involved - MacMillan Bloedel Ltd.-but not those of the 2,200 MасMillan Bloedel employees affected by the Canadian Merchant Service Guild picket line.

"They (the employees) probably approved of the picket line," he said.

How the Mohawks Built New York

November is Native American History Month; next year (2025) will mark the 350th anniversary of King Phillip’s War, the beginning of the end for the native people as the dominant polity on this continent. I’m marking the occasion with a series of daily posts related to the history of the Native Americans and their interactions with encroaching Europeans. Some will have to do with pop culture;…

This young man from Austin, Texas is making good use of his summer vacation by learning, by the sweat of his brow, how tons of steel become giant skyscrapers, August 21, 1925. He is an iron worker on the new 15-story physics building being constructed at Columbia University. Besides not being afraid to balance himself atop the highest girders, the student iron worker is quite a boxer, fighting under the name of "Wary" Wade, the proceeds of the fight going towards paying his way through college.

👿💉"This might hurt a bit..."

✉️🩹"...I'll put the band-aid on for you... if that's ok."

I've been wanting to draw Kurode and Willmesh in their lords Vitamin Puro outfits ever since they were first shown!

Close ups + Alt ver+ ref

Since Kuromi and Mell's outfit can also glow in the dark, I wanted to do something similar by using some neon color pencils. And I used the Vivid filter on my camera to make those colors pop! (Hopefully their bright enough to see)

THEY'RE SO CUTE AND PRETTY OMG I WANT MELL TO GIVE ME A CHECK UP LIKE IMAGINE IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE I WOULD BE GOING TO THE DOCTORS ALL THE TIME

Yesterday, Ukraine's Railways honored the railroad workers that have helped keep the country moving as well as the ones lost since the start of russia's full-scale invasion.

On the Railwaymаn's Day, the "Iron Train of Railway Memory" #751 departed from six Ukrainian stations. In memory of 751 railwaymen who sacrificed their lives for Ukraine. All locomotives sounded the horn of honor for their fallen colleagues. We remember everyone. Always. —Ukrzaliznytsia

After finding the bricklaying business too full of ups and downs, she decided to take a shot at iron girdering for a change. She is Miss ‘Collie’ Collier, a reporter for the Chicago Herald-Examiner.

The Edge of Sleep was and still is on the top 10. The problem is that not everyone can run it in the background constantly or wants to rewatch it as we approach the 18th. What exactly does “it just needs to reach the top 10” mean? It did that already. I think we are due for an update with more transparency if the NDA allows or if Amazon communicated that at all.

Everytime I see anything about ozempics I think about the superior iron man comic where evil capitalist Tony releases extremis disguised as an app to make people healthy/beautiful, only to add a 100 dollars subscription fee per day making him even richer and also turning millions of people addicts desperate for money to keep the app.
