| Delaney | John H. Delaney | GLACE BAY COASTAL COURIER | 18/12/1979 | Carol MacLean | John H. Delaney - Glace Bay. Union Leader Dies..... Funeral Mass for John H. Delaney, 71, one of Cape Breton's great union leaders, was held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at St. Anne's Church. He resided at 340 King Edward Street. Mr. Delaney died suddenly late Wednesday afternoon in his hotel room in Halifax shortly before he was to return to Glace Bay. He had been in Halifax on business in his role as chairman of the mining sector of the Provincial Voluntary Economic Planning Commission. Mr. Delaney officially retired from the United Mine Workers of America in 1975 when he was director of International Affairs for the union. He served 25 years as International Board Member for District 26, a post he held until his retirement. Shortly after he retired the post of International Board Member, he began a campaign and created the term (Automatic Assumption). That developed into the Mineworkers Respiratory Disease Association and won the support of all mine locals in Cape Breton. Mr. Delaney was elected as chairman and held that post at the time of his death. The association became a strong lobby on behalf of mine workers suffering from lung diseases and it was only recently that Provincial Health Minister Dr. Gerald Sheehy announced that a special unit dealing with lung diseases would be established in Glace Bay. This was one of the major accomplishments gained by the association. Mr. Delaney was born in Glace Bay and educated here. His trade was that of a machinist and he began his career working at No. 2 Colliery in 1926. Later he moved to the Dominion Coal Companys Central Machine Shop on Union Street. He transferred to No. 11 for a short periond and then returned to the machine shop. He began attending meetings of Mechanical Local Union in 1933 and in 1934 attended a UMW District Convention. It was a steady rise up the ladder in the UMW after that. He held practically every office in Mechanic Local Union, and served as president for a term. In 1938 he was elected a district teller. In 1950 he sought the post of International Board Member and won elections continually thereafter. In 1970 he won the post by acclamation, In 1954 he polled the larest vote ever recorded in the history of District 26. Durning the period of 1970 to 1973 he was appointed president of District 18, a new district which served the miners of Western Canada. He was a member of the International Federation of Free Trade Unions with headquarters in Belgium and the Miners Foundation of Labor, headquarters in London, England. When he was appointed to the post of director of International Affairs for the UMW he became the first Canadian to hold the post. At the time of his retirement he urged members to guard and protect the UMW. Remember always, that a labor union is a working man' s best friend . In the 1950's he was named to a special committee by Premier Stanfield when Medicare was to be introduced to the province. It was Mr. Delaney who was called on by committee to address a meeting of the Nova Scotai Medical Association to outline the scheme. In 1969 he served on a Royal Commission on Salaries for members of the Provincial Legislature. He served on the Board of Governors of both St. Francis Xavier and Dalhousie Universities. He maintained his membership in the UMW of A, up to the time of his death. He was one of those who helped to revive the Victorian Order of Nurses in Glace Bay in the 1960's. He was a long time member of the St. Anne's Men's Choir, was active in golf and was a member of the Lingan Golf Club, a member of Bridge Clubs, a charter member of the Glace Bay Central Credit Union and served as president for a period. He was a member of the Board of Directors fo CJFX Radio, and was a member of the Halifax Club. Mr. Delaney was a member of St. Anne's Parish.

Mr. Gillis was outstanding dedicated to the cause of fire fighting and fire prevention. ; ;When Mr. Gillis was younger he was active in the department's track and field sports. He was on the track team for years and much of the brigade's success at the Maritime Firemen's tournaments was because of Mr. Gillis. ; ;I wish on behalf of myself and the other members of the department, to extend deepest sympathy to his family and relatives. I feel the department and town has lost a good and faithful servant. ; At one time Mr. Gillis was on the Dominion Coal Company's security force.
