(By The Associated Press) WASHJNGTON, Nov. ill-Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today crit- icised John L.

Tlhe Judge said he also will decide llmiday, or later, whether the Norris-La Guardfa anti-in- junction law has any bearing on the coal strike case. Union lawyers contended in a day-long argument that this act, which limits the use of injunc- tions ln labor disputes, nullifies Judge Goldsboratighb restraining order against the UJLW. chief.

“More Expansive

OTPAWA. Nov. 2'7 — (C?) - Canadilrns. who in many of the country are facing the first real wave of snow and slush. were told today by the Prices Board that rubbers are going to be mate expensive.

The Board nus ounced an upward adjustment in manufacturers’ prices which will mean an increase of from 10 to 2S cents a pair for rubbers and canvas foot/wear to consumms. Board officials said overshoes would be included in the advance.

"This increase, which was effect- ive Nov. 25, was authorized fopar- tialiy offset additional costs to the haanuf cs . suiting from in- creased material oosts and increas- ed labor rates recently authorized floughout o the country." the Board said in its statement. I

Board officials said the recent decrease in synthetic and crude rubber {Flees had been tsJcen into consideration in establishing the new prices and without this drop in material costs increases would of necessity have been much high-

er

The Board has a Ieneral policy of allowing price increases in cases where the manufacturer can show they ire necessary to meet isrcreas- ed productlon costs.

More Tinned Salmon For Home Market

OTIIAWA, Nov. 2'l—I-Iousewive- who have been scratching through grocery store shelves in search of scarce canned salmon for several years had good news today from the Fisheries Department.

The word was that more tinned salmon would go on the domestic market from tihis year's pack than in any recent year. The allocation for the Canadian householder will be 500,000 cases. against 300.000 last year and much less than that in several previous years.

The 500,000-case share of the pack, experts here estimated. is "not greatly below" normal Can- adian requirements.

The enlargement in the Canad- ian allocation has been brought about despite a 4o0.000-csse drop in British Columbia's pack for this year.

As the western catch dwindled, it was feared for a time that Canada's own consumption of the fish would have to be slatted further. But the situation was mat by reducing shipments to other countries. ,

The big drop in British Colum- bia output was caused by a mys- terious diminution in the num- bers of "pinks"—one of five vari- eties taken on the Pacific Coast —to appear in their usual haunts this year.

Secs Coal Strike An “Insurrection”

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2'1 — (AP) —Senatcr Joseph Ball (Rep-Minn) sold today the United States coal strike is “more like an insurrection than a labor dispute" and he call- ed upon President ‘human to tell the idle miners "that is the issue."

Senator Ball told a National Press Club luncheon: “The 400.000 miners, following

John L Lewis blindly. don't seem to realize that as a small minority they are challenging the sovereign power of all the people as repre- sented by the government.

“This ls not in any sense of the
