Insurance Plan For I-10.000 Rail Workers
MONTREAL (CP - Canada's major railways Monday approved in principle a plan providing life insurance, accident i e and hospital. medical and surgical benefits for their 140.000 non-open sting employees.
Some of the benefits extend to
the employees' funnies. raising ' to 500.000 the number covered in
what officials described as the biggest welfare plan in Canada's history.

OTTAWA tCPl- A note of opti- mism for Canadian agricullure's future was injected into the open- ing session Monday of the federal provincial agricultural conference by Ariculture Minister Gardiner and other speakers.
Mr. Gardiner said that despite the fact the United States has the most prosperous consumer mal-
. ket in the world. prices of staple
farm products in Canada compare favorably with those in the U.S.
lie quoted statistics which he said show that while farm costs in Canada have been three times
ater since the Second World at then during the 10 years pre- ceding it. net returns to farmers have been more than five times what they were in the pre-war period. "it will also be noted that in every particular 1956 promises to be a better year than the average of the last 10 years and almost equal to the average of the last five years which is the best five years we have ever experienced." He spoke as the conference op- ened to discuss agriculture prob- lems during the next two days- Delegates i i t from au prov- inces.
PRICES ON RISE
Dr. H. H. llsnnam. president of the Canadian Cedorstion of Ag-
on the whole. will prove to be slightly better than in i955 and predicted an ' in farm cash income of s21).0ilJ.tlI) over last
riculture, said 1956 farm Flees. jo
He added that the over-all farm lproduct price level in 1957 will lprobably average somewhat higher llhan in 1936.
But his optimism was tempered a little by his statement that 1956 lllas been marked by price infla- .linn in the non-farm sectors of lCanzlda's economy and that, ”as a result. the relationship between the prices the farmer receives and those he pays has not im- proved."
Both Dr. I-iannam and Mr. Gard- Iinder also touched on the farm in- bor situation. but the CFA spokes- man did not agree with a federal report on the prospect of a further dwindling in the already-depleted force of agriculture workers.
ASK MORE IMMIGRANTS
The federal report. prepared by officials of several government do- partments. said the 1957 exodus from farms is unlikely to be so great as the unusuall, big move ment in 1956. Manpower require- ments also might decline through greater use of machinery and in- creased farm efficiency.
Nevethless. the need would be greater than ever to organize see- sonal movements of workers for farms within and between prov- lnces. More U.S. workers would have to be brought in for seasonal
be.
"in the light of economic condi- tions as they are expected to pro vall in Canada and the continuing shortage of farm workers in 1957,"

Ithe report said. "it is considered ldeslreallle and essential to main- -tain. and if possible increase, the flow of immigrants for employ- mom in Canadian agriculture."
Dr. llannam said if rising con- lsumer demands were to be met ldurmg the next few years a rising 'levcl of farm prices would be nec- essary to stimulate the necessary production.
Mr. Gardiner said his recent vis- its to rural areas have impressed upon him that ”the chief reason for otherwise unneccssa y in- crcasea in farm costs is lack of farm labor."
MUST WORK HARDER
"After spending all his ready cash on such requirements, to- gether with the costs of operation. the tamer has to work harder and longer hours than ever before be- cause he csnnot find labor to em- ploy.;'
Mr; Gardiner said that, consid- ering both provincial and federal farm assistance programs, "I think it will be found that Canada in ways best suited to her own needs has at least as high a stand- ard of living among her farm pop- ulation as can. be found any- where."
lie added that. "although placed on a basis of material things alone the standard is not as high among well-paid management in industry or top officials in government su- vice. the general run of farmers do live on as high a standard as the general run of persons em- ployed either in fishing. lumbering.

NEW YORK (AP)-A Brooklyn pier fire Sllddenly hit a mountain of explosive cargo Monday. touch- ing off a blast of tremendous force. At least nine persons were killed and more than 110 lI1.Illl'ed-
The shock radiated 35 miles from the explosion. Windows were shattered as far away as five miles.
Three of the victims were boys -lured to death by the brilliant spectacle of the blaze. The explo- sion killed them in their tracks.
Many of the injured also were spectators. unaware of lmpendi peril as they watched the fire on the Luckenbacb Steamship Com- pany's pier 37-at 1,800 feet the longest single-decked pier along New York's 350 miles of water- front.
A myslerious telephone caller with a heavy male voice told the New York Times switchboard two hours in advance of the fire that "something big's going to happen on a Brooklyn pier this afternoon."
PM ON J03
Men from the district attorney's office. the police force. the fire department and the Federal Bur- eau of Investigation were investi- gating the call. V
The city estimated damage to piers alone at 310,000,000. Around the harbor fringe of Brooklyn the additional damage was almost in- calculable.
An oil tanker caught fire from the uploslon but five other ships were towed to safety.
William Langosker 51. a Brook- lyn businessman, was watching the fire from the roof of the nearby Bush Terminal, a waterfront of- flve centrewhcre hundreds of men and women work.
Chunks of white bot steel weigh- ing as much as 50 pounds were atapaulted front the 'pier by the force of the blast. w PAINT BLEW UP
The fire broke out about 3 p.ln.. flit! explosion came half an hour a er
The blaze apparently started near the end of the pier where it juts into the harbor. Checker Thomas llendrik 59 a retired po- lice sergeant. saw it first in a pile sisal-an inflammable hemp substance used to make twine.
