SITUATION TENSER
UNEMPLOYED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA THREE CITIES SHARPLY DIVIDED. MINISTERS STAND FIRM. (Recd This Day, 12.50 p.m.) VANCOUVER, June 22. The situation in regard to the rebellious unemployed workers is tenser, with three cities dividing sharply into two camps. Through public subscriptions, 200 unemployed were despatched to Nanaimo and 100 to Victoria. The crux of the situation is whether 1,700 non-British Columbians are to be aided here or compelled to return to their Eastern homes. The transients are strongly supported by thousands of members of the radical-ly-inclined Canadian .Commonwealth Party, the Communist Party and some trade unions,' which demand that the Provincial Government resign. Buildings and stores in the-capital, Victoria, are heavily guarded; likewise stores iin Vancouver and Nanaimo. The Premier, Mr Pattullo, firmly declines all the demands of the unemployed. The Federal Labour Minister states that the Government will not chance its policy. No relief will be given until the transients remove.
