Interviewed yesterday regarding the arrangements for employing men of the service forces to work on fsnns under direction of the De- partment of Labour, Premier J. Waiter Jones ssld there was no change in the situation s0 far as

Prince Edward Leland was

even interested" in such an offer, as the proposed wage rate. to which rnust be added board and lodging, was far too high.

The Premier's attention was drawn to an editorial appearing in yesterday's Patriot, to the effect that the federal proposal was that farmers in the Maritimes would pflv —not $3.00 a day as understood by Premier Jones. but merely the dif- ference between $3.00 and the sold- ier's military pay and allowance.

The Premier, who is also Min- ister of Agriculture. said in reply that no auch proposal had been made to him by Ottawa. Ile did not know where the Patriot sot It! infonnation, but he had no hesita- tion in saying It was not In accord with the offer he had received.

Later Premier Jones notified Th? Guardian that he had re-checked on the proposal received from the Department 0f Labor and that it. substantiated what he had when he had suggested to the Department that soldiers should re- celva from $35 to $40 a month. Wm‘ exoeptio Jlllly good men recoil/ins $50, he had received a teleBW-m setting forth the wage scale. which insisted 0n a minimum payment bY the farmer employer of three dollars a day for every day the Fm" l5 available for work. This rate up‘ plied to the Maritime Pwvlni-WS and Quebec. It was progressively higher in Ontario and the west- ern Provinces.

Says Convoy Lanes Quiet as Milk Routes

AN EASTERN CANADIAN PORT Aug. 9 —(CP)— There's not enough action at sea these days for Chief Petty Officer Wilfred McWatters. R.C.N.V.R., of Regina, who claims the convoy lanes are as quiet as milk routes.

The Navy said tonight in a press release that Mcwattcrs, a 27-year- old Coxswain aboard a Canadian Corvette, has been going to sen, for more than three years and has ex- perienced several bouts with the enemy. -

"There was a time when hardly a day would go by without, some contact with enemy submarines while conveying ships", said Mc- Watiors, “but now it's novelty to bump into a U-boat during a cross-

ing.

“Don't know whether we’ve first been having lucky breaks or wheth- er we've knocked all the submar- ines out of the sea. but it's been quite some time since we've con- tacted one.
