: [Seagram's Distillery workers strike]; Members of Distillery Workers Local 69 picket Seagram's plant in New Westminster despite refusal of union's international office to support the strike when workers rejected a contract already signed at company operations elsewhere in Canada. The B.C. Federation of Labour upheld workers' right to sign their own collective agreement and worked with CLC to mount a boycott of Seagram's products. The local was successful in signing a better, improved agreement hammered out Aug. 12 after five months on the picket line.

: Russian Hall bombing; Photo shows wreckage of the upper foyer and main staircase of the Federation of Russian Canadians' hall at 600 Campbell after a blast from ten sticks of dynamite pushed through a mail slot the previous night. The firebombing was the second attack on the hall, following an earlier bombing in 1972. Although no one was ever charged, the bombing was thought to be linked to the fundamentalist Sons of Freedom Doukhobor sect, in reaction to the mainstream Doukhobors cooperation with the FRC and their increased interest in cooperative relations with the Soviet Union on peace and disarmament.
