Japanese Hold Firm To D e m a n d For Naval Parity.

(By Charles Nutter, C pyrlght 1035 by The Assoclat Press) (A. P. By Guardian's Special win) LONDON, Dec. iD-The Naval Conference got under way aodny with Japan rejecting a. United States proposal that the world's sea powers cut their havies by 20 per cent and declared that she would not accept Great Britain's propos- als for abolition of the submarine. The response to theUnited States proposal from other quarters was favorable. But informed quarters felt little hope forr the success oi the conference which began its delib- erations in the historic Locarno ‘oom of the Foreign Office. I

Agree In n ‘nclple

The British agreed in principle to the American plan. The Italians said they wou‘d give it serious con- slderatlon. The French declared: “Ws already hav-c advocated a much greater reducton at Geneva."

The Japanese, through Admiral Osami Nugano. their principal del- egate, rejected the American pro- posal advanced by Norman H. Davis. They contended it was a mere perpetuation of the existing ratio system. which limits Japan to three-flftils of the naval power oi both Great Britain and the United States. They demand complete parity.

General Relief Not -To Start Until The Gov. ernment ‘Announces Policy.

Little more than (the regular routine business was transacted at the regular monthly meeting oi the City Council last night presided over by His Worship Mayor Ken- nedy. There was a full attendance of councillors.

The Finance Committee was ap- pointed by His Worship to take charge oi the relief when the an- nouncement is made from Ottawa as to what the Governments in- tcnd.to do. In the meantime the Council decided to continue to take care of the really needy cases. A few families had been on relief all summer it was announced.

The Council authorized the sale of the city's share in the gravel pit at Surrey to the Modern Paving Company ior 8800.00. Other com- panies had been asked to quote

‘prices and the one selected had

been a good deal larger than any of the others.

A resolution was passed to tho effect that formal complaint be made to the Board oi Public Ui-il- ities by the City oi Charlottetown‘ that all rates, tolls, charges and schedules oi the Maritime Electric Co. Ltd., obtaining in the city, in- cluding the charge for street light- ing, are QXOESSAH: and therefore unreasonable. The Mayor, mem- bers oi the light committee and the City Clerk were authorised to sign the protest on behalf oi the city.

A Pickard and Co's tender to supply Springhill coal to the City Building at $8.00 per ton was ac- cepted. The contract for supplying the Market Building and Library with slack coal was given to W. D. Glllis and C. Lyons and Co. jointly at 06.25 per ton.

‘me City Clerk read a communi- cation from a motorist whose car had been in collision with the po- lioe' patrol on November 9. He claimed that as he had been on his own side of the street that the city should pay for the damage to his car which he placed at 018.00. The matter was referred to tho police committee.

A latter to the. Coimoil. signed by many of the ts oi Upper Prince it. was read regarding a gar-age at the Ritz Apartrnmts. The buildins was not suitable, they claimed, and requested that mp0

(C. P. By Guardian's Spocial Wire)

OTTAWA, Dec. - 9—Canadian

‘ ' flWl-s have reached the end of lilclr financial tether and facc..b::t!;rupicy, representatives of the Dominion and the provinces were trId today when a. delegation ff mny:rs urged them to shoulder ‘.uli costs of direct relief.

Prime Minister King and most of the provincial premiere heard mayors from the Atlantic to the Pacific make their plea for finan- cial assistance but made no defin- ite commitment in reply.

“What you have said," Premier King told ihc mayors, “Will find its way into our discussions and l am sure will be very helpful to us.” He thanked them for bringing out the magnitude of their prnh- lems. .

Led by Mayor Camillien Houde °f Mmllilfifll. lhe mayors requested two things-to be relieved of di- rect relief costs and to be given access to the national credit in re- funding debts. They agreed lf the Drovinces and the Dominion guar- anteed their refunding securities they should be subject to regula- tions of a commission regarding future expenditures and revenues.

Indicating the magnitude of re- lief expenditures, Premier Hep- burn interrupted one speaker to tell him 60 percent of Ontario's revenues went for that purpose. 0n the other hand, Mayor Houde told of Montreal having $27,000,000 in tax arrears and being forced to borrow money to pay relief.

Mayor Queen of Winnipeg went further than the other mayors. l-le wanted the Dominion and prov- inces to shoulder relief debts con- tracied by the municipalities since i930, but found no support from Mayor Houde or the others.

Mllwr Gerry MoGeer of Van- couver stressed thc necessity of re- funding municipal debts. Ho be- lieved the paramount need to be a new system of credit with the Dominion issuing notes in the same way as the banks to carry non-revenue producing projects.

Representations advancing the proposal were put forward by the continuing committee of the Dom- inion Mayors’ Conference which came to_ Ottawa from‘ Montreal- Oomprislng the committee were Mayors Camllllen I-loude, of Mont- real, James Simpson, Toronto; John Queen, Winnipeg; Andrew Davison, Calgary; G. G. McGeer, Vancouver, and E. J. Crugg oi Halifax.

Prime Minister King, Hon. J. E. Michaud, Minister of Fisheries, Hon. T. A. Crerar, Minister of In- terlor and Hon. Fernsnd Rlnfret, secretary of State, represented the Dominion Government on the Conference Committee. Provincial Premiers personally represented their respective provinces.

Dec. 9. - Death took a.

toll of 16 lives late today in the first major disaster

in the half-century history of the Lethbridge ‘coal ’

fields when an explosion blasted’ through the mine of the Lethbridge Collieries Ltd., here. The bodies of the men who “walked into

p death” as the night shift went on duty, were recov- ‘ ered from piles of debris left in the mine by a cave--

in which followed the explosion.

COALHURST, Alta, Dec. 9-Five miners were known '

dead, 11 others, pit men and

drivers, were entombed, and

illree were in hospital here tonight following an explosion in the Lcihbridge Collieries Limited mine late today. Res- cue crews found the bodies as they approached the face

of the cave-in which followed

the blast.

A mile from the surface, and on the GOO-fool. level, the bodies were found, blackened victims of the blast, Un- identified, ihey "were still in the mine tonight as the rescue squads headed into the cavein of tons of rock, coal and

twisted timbers.

SECOND MISIIAP

It was the second mishap in Al- bertaioday. Fifty-six mines-a es- caped through an air shaft at the Kent coal mine near Edmonton, when a surface yilre destroyed the hoist and put elevators out of commission.

Victims of’ the Coalhurst disaster were just going am the night shift when the explosion occurred.

“Th” laid miners at the plthead where more than 200 men, women and children gathered awaiting word of the disaster.

Working on a slack-time sched- ule, only 30 men were in the mine when the blast of unknown origin occurred. Two weeks ago, there would have been 200 miners in the pll, officials said.

Fourteen miners reached the surface but three wane seriously in- jured. Knocked from their feet by the force of the blast, the trio crawled on hands and knees for 20 minutes from a point near the ex- plosion to the mine shaft. Brought to the surface, they were taken to hospital here. All three were badly burned.

Sparks from a telephone circuit in the mine are believed to have ignited the gas which caused the

uJsJOSIOH, officials at the mine said. First major disaster in the 52

year history oi the Lethbridge coal fields, the tragedy today brought relatives and friends to the pit- head shortly after it occurred.

Wives of the dead and cntombed workers huddled around the pit- head tonight, some with chllden clinging to their skirts, as rescuers worked at the face of the cavc-ln. Some or the men were veterans in the pits, with families of one to five children.

It may b: hours before the rescu- ers can battle their Way through the tons of debris left by the cave- in. There was one ray of. hope that the ll men unaccounted for might

far enough away from the scene of the explosion, beyond the cave-in. to have reached an air shaft. The
