As Strike Violence Looms

NASSAU, Bahamas (Reu rs) Some 150 British infant en were flown to this “mil1iona.ires' playground" Wednesday as the threat of violence mounted in a

‘strike called by the Ba- s Frederation of Labor. Tourists, mpstly Americans and

lice barracks.

Striking Negro workers roamed the streets, holding mass meet- ings and picketlng movie houses. Sabotage was reported in their

ago.

The strike was touched off by a long-standing dispute between taxifxirivers and transportation interests over airport business. But its real cause lies in gen- eral political unrest.

The Negroes — nearly 90 per cent of the total resident popula- tion of 85,000 —— are dissatisfied with the ruling methods of the dominant whites.

Business was a-t a standstill. However, this city was quiet and no arrests were reported. POLICE ON GUARD

Police guarded vital points: No public services shave been inter- rupted and electricity has been

maintained by engineers and vol- unteers.

The strikers include bakery employees, electric workers, gar- bage collectors, plumbers, con- struction workers and airport baggage handlers.

The taxi drivers started their strike demanding that tour oper- ators cease transporting tourists to and from Windsor Field, the big New airport 10 miles from Nassau. The drivers - received $3.50 a trip.

The government appointed a three-man board to arbitrate but taxi leaders claimed the board was loaded against them and re- fused to meet with it.

The strike upset the ,winter va- cation plans of thousands. Some hotels already were clcsed as the! rush to leave got under way. POPULATION DOUBLES

The population of the Bahamas more than doubles each winter with the flood of tourists, who spend milloins of dollars here. Nassau is the seat ,of* govern- ment and the chief tourist centre of the group of 700 islands, a British possession since 1787.

The strike is symptomatic of social unrest that led -to substant- ial reforms in the social struct- ure two years ago.

At that time, the legislative as- sembly voted to set up a com- mission of inquiry into discrim- ination against Negroes in public. places.

Hotels, movie houses and res- taurants from which Negroes were excluded announced they would be open to all who meas— . ured up to customary standards‘ of dress and department, and were able to pay for the serv- ices ordered.\

party was fined 355.00 or thirty days for driving while impaired.

On our return from Christmas holidays I suppose all members had the same huge backlog of mail confronting them as the writer had. Shortage of time and stenographic service has made it difficult to catch up with our work till now. Committee meet- lugs, and especially the important Caucus Committee on Agricul- ture, which I am following close- ly, have taken up a considerable amount of our time. The House has been sitting long hours, in- cluding every night and Satur- days, which leaves no time for relaxation. There is still a great deal of work to be done before the business of the House is com- pleted for this Parliament.

FISHERIES ESTIMATES

At the end of the week the Estimates of the Department of Fisheries came before the House. They were extremely well handl- ed by our Cabinet Minister from Prince Edward Island. The Hon. J. Angus MacLean has establish- ed a very high reputation in the handling of his Department. It is generally recognized by members of all parties that the new Minis-

‘ter has spent a tremendous am-

ount of time and study on his de- partmental duties-and this is re- flected in the high respect in which he is held by all. A number of us, waiting to speak on this measure, were obliged to defer as the debate moved to other matters and will not return to that subject for a week of more.

C It was interesting to note from the monthly report of the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics that the cost-of-living index had gone down for the second straight month. This will be welcome news to all and it is urgently hoped that the ever increasing rise in the cost-of-living over the past decade and more has been finally halted. This is necessary if the dangerous and futile spiral

stability of prices is achieved in our economy. MORE QUESTIONS

This week Ottawa is more ex- citing than usual with the Liberal Convention being held at the Col- iseum. The political atmosphere in the House has thickened. More questions than ever are being asked of the overnment, as op- position members strive hard for attention. Normally under past administration the Question Per- iod has run roughly twenty minu- tes.

In this Parliament the period has occupied at least an hour each day. Questions of all kinds, sincere, frivolous, repetitious, etc. have been offered. The answers sometimes are given in such a manner as to invite supplemen- tary ones and the discussions go on and on. It does afford a num- ber - of opposition memhdrs a chance to get their names on the record and in the papers. ' Some of them pop up in the House, ask a few questions. then are not seen for a few weeks. When they come back there will be a few more questions and other members realize they are again in the House and their names are again in the papers. Government members naturally ask very few questions as they get their answers verbally or in writing directly from the Minis- ters, and .in view of the excessive time now being taken up they are prudent in taking up as little as possible under the circumstances. THE LIBERALS . - Speculation is running high on the leadership problem in the Liberal Party. On-e of the impor- tant points of the selection of the new leader centers on his attitude towards the policy follow- ed by his party in their trend of passive action to ‘ date. Many

This could precipitate a head- on collision in the near future and possibly an early general elec- tion. It will be necessary for the new leader to make a decision on this important almost imme- diately so that the next week or so will settle this important and interesting political problem.

Says P. C's Have Nothing To Offer

OTTAWA (CP) — Jean Lesage. former resources minister,‘ said

servative government “has ab- solutely nothing to offer” the provinces on fiscal matters.

Mr. Lesage said the Conserva- tive party may be trying to sab- otage in one way or another the “just and fair” formula devised by the former Liberal administ- ration to redistribute national in- come among all provinces by means of equalization payments

"I fear that the Tories are preparing to equalize provincial revenues towards the bottom of

-the scale, rather than towards the top."
