SOVIET AGITATORS
ACTIVE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA BANNED IN LUMBER CAMPS VANCOUVER, slarch 2. Soviet Russia lias resumed activities in the lumber fields of British Columbia, where a number of recent strikes have been scotched by the operators combining to banish agitators from the camps. A “black list” of these troublesome individuals has been lodged: in every employment agency, with instructions that they are not to be engaged. Their activities have been traced to Moseowr.
Resentment is openly expressed in Moscow against the action of Canada in securing the deletion of a price-cut-ting clause in the agreement, between Moscow and Timber Distributors, Limited, an English concern that annually imports Russian lumber. This clause, which permitted the Soviet to reduce prices, was contested by Canada, on the ground that it was a breach of the Empire trade agreements. The clause was deleted last year, and its reinstatement has been refused. British and Canadian workers only are now employed in the lumber fields.
