V e t e r a n Cortciliator _Leaves For Wash- mgton In Attempt to Solve Problem.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

in an effort to bring 10,000 em- ployees of the Aluminum Company of America back to work, Fred Kelghtly, veteran conciliator, was called from Philadelphia to Wash- ington yesterday to confer with "in- terested parties"—leaders of the Al- uminum Workers Council and Com- pany representatives.

The aluminum concern said its plants would remain shut until the strike ends. At the Massena, N. Y. plant, the force of pickets was in- creased.

Trucking companies submitted a new proposition to the striking driv- crs at Minneapolis, and strike lead- crs, dissatisfied with a previous offer, prepared to consider the latest ver- siorl.

Truck Drivers Strike

A new truck drivers strike started at Portland, Ore, with 400 drivers quitting to gain higher wages and better working conditions. A federal conciliator was ordered from Astoria to Portland to speed a settlement.

Lever Brothers shut down its soap works at Hammond. Ind. indefinite- ly putting 360 employees out of work, after a disturbance which resulted in the injury of five strikers and three guards and nearly precipitated a riot. Three automobiles containing workers crashed the picket lines.

A new strike began at Milwaukee with the walkout of 600 employees of the Geuder. Paeschlce 8s Frey Company. Five hundred pickets, members of the Fabricated Metals and Machinists Unions, surrounded the plant to enforce demands for higher wages. better working condi- tions and the right to represent em- ployees in collective bargaining.

Thomas F. McMahon. President of the United Textile Workers of Ain- crica, predicted at New York that strikes of major proportions are on the way in textile industries. I-Ic advised the Union to insist on a five-

In reply to inquiries by Mr. J. A. Gillies, secretary of the Prince Ed- ward Island (Do-operative Livestock Marketing Board, the following valuable information has been re- ceived by the Association from Mr. P. E. Light, Market Intelligence bureau, livestock branch oi‘ the Federal Department of Agricul- ture:

Dear Sir:-

We have your letter of the 0th, asking for information with res- pect to the hog situation in Can- ada at the present time for use at the Annual Meeting of your Or- ganization.

The amount of pork in storage on July 1st amounted to 28,873,012 pounds as compared with 37,014,778 pounds on the corresponding date of 1933 and 34,617,454 for the five year average.

Tho tendency oi’ domestic eon- sumptlon at the present time is downward, because bacon is rising in price and beef continues to be very cheap and there are no im- mediate prospects that beef will show any material price increase.

Prospects for production in West- ern Canada. indicate that increases may become evident late in the year, possibly around November, and will show expanslrn as the months progress. Any increases during November and December, however, will not affect the move- ment to the British market until after the New Year. A great deal will depend upon the ultimate out- come of the crop situation in the Western provinces.

Ontario is not expected) to show much, if any, increase over last year. As a matter of fact. on the basis of the relative crop situation in 1933 and 1934 we might expect a standstill condition to a fractional lower output. However, here again the outcome to the crop is un- certain. It is obvious. of course, that any pigs marketed finished during the latter part of the year are already to hand and that de- creases would be largely due to immature liquidation. Them may be some increase in Quebec, but as you are aware Quebec is not a fac- tor, her production for marketing being very small. Insofar as the Maritime Provinces are concerned we must confess that we have no very definite knowledge but would expect that the output woiild be normal to somewhat better.

The movement cf bacon to Great Britain for the first six months of the present year amounted to ap-
