Anti Reds Social Ills: Mayor Garnet Coulter Friday present day civilization could quickly munism were met with democratic injustice. He said municipal governments, because of their close association with the citizenry, were the ideal watchdogs for the well being of the community. Mayor Coulter was principal speaker at a banquet In Grand Forks, North Dakota, of the North Dakota State League of Municipalities, with "Municipal Government Democracy's Weapon" as his sub ject.

He was accompanied by Mrs. Coulter. "Most of us are stow to realize that 20 civilizations have perished from this earth," he said. "Our civilization might disappear very quickly If the forces of Communism are not met." Evidence of social Injustice was one of the main things that en couraged the growth of Commun ism and allowed it to gain a hold on intelligent people, he said. In the past there had been gross examples of social injustice but as the democratic form of government developed, recognition of these injustices became more apparent.

Mayor Coulter said "one of the Inherent weaknesses of democracy is the failure to realize that it is a man made government and the ideal of democracy will jierhaps never De attained. Freedom Backfires It Implied freedom of speech and action but there was a point where this freedom backfired and had to be checked In the interests of the citizenry. He condemned the lack of In terest by citizens In government and their failure to appreciate tuny the part every citizen should play in government, particularly on the municipal level. "A corrupt and indifferent citi zenry is often reflected in a corrupt and indifferent government." he declared. "It Is not enought to bewail Com munism and bureaucracy," he added.

"Something must be done to meet the menace." The most Important step was to attempt to educate the people In the government over which the of ed a Must Ban Coulter told American audience that perish unless the forces of Com measures to stamp out social municipality has jurisdiction Equally important was full recognl tion of elected representatives of their responsibilities. By a close watch over its com munity, a municipal government could do much to uncover examples social Injustice. Acceptance of bureaucracy or Communism Implied a general sense of lack of security.

A strike of plumbers and up construction work in the year was threatened today by of Journeymen Plumbers and The strike threat was made by Joseph Connolly, gen eral organizer, who said some would walk off their jobs unless Winnipeg Plumbing and Heating Employers' Association was settled quickly.

Mr. Connolly did not set a definite date for the strike to go Into effect, but said it would be "very soon" failing a settlement satisfactory to the union. The union official said a strike vote has already been taken. The new dispute concerns an in crease for about 100 helpers In the Industry. The question of their wage increase was laid over for settlement this month when the union signed an agreement on Aug 10, ending a nine day strike.

The 14 persons were the defendants In the St.

James still case, and each face five charges of conspiring to defraud the Dominion Government. When the accused persons, rep resented by Harry Walsh, appeared to elect for trial, S. Hart crown counsel, produced a requisition order for the trial of the 14 persons by Jury. Mr. Walsh contended that the requisition, dated May, 1948, had been obtained prior to the preliminary hearing.

This he submitted was not In accordance with the wording of the section of the criminal code under which the defendants were charged. The requisition, he said, should have been submitted after the ac cused had elected for speedy trial and not before. "The Crown cannot anticipate what the accused will do," he said. Continuing Authority He argued that the only purpose of the requisition was to prevent the accused from electing for summary trial before a magistrate. Mr.

Green told the court that the offence with which the accused were charged carried a penalty of over five years, and in the circum stances the attorney general could demand a Jury trial. "That settled It," he said, "a county court Judge has no Jurisdiction to try or sentence the accused." Judge A. R. Macdonell, upholding the crown, said the requisition made out by the attorney general in May was a continuing authority, court adjourned shortly after. Five Waive Rights At the preliminary hearing five of the defendants waived their right to the hearing.

They were George Trossi, Walter Bare, Gerard Dumouchel, Edward Mae Crady and Edine Pozer. All of them signified their intention to plead guilty at a higher court except Edine Pozer. The remaining nine were committed for trial by Magistrate D. G. Potter in Provincial Police Court Friday.
