Conference Fails To Remove Threat 0i Railway Strike

Need 0f Forest Conservation Plans Stressed

.

The Maritime section of the Ca- nad-ian Society of Forest Engineers ended its second day of its three- day summer meeting in Charlotte- town with a dinner last evening at the Charlottetown Hotel.

Mr. W. W. MacCormack. chief sealer New Brunswick forestry ser- vice, Fredericton, N. 13., presided,

Chief Justice Thane A. Camp- bell. who as Premier was instru- mental ln having a. forestry sur- WY of the Province made in 1937, was the guest speaker. -

He stressed the necessity of the people of the Province adopting a. stricter policy of forest conserva- tion than had been practiced in the Past. One of the great obsta. files. he said..in the practice of forest conservation is the failure of the farmer and other wood-lot owners to realize that the short- term viewpoint is detrimental to the mainteriance'and development of the Island's woodland growth. Indiscriminate destruction cf trees may mean a quick cash return while their conservation may not show benefits of any kind in me immediate future. But the returns from forest conservation, His Lord- Elli-i! said. are certain and of a lasting nature.

The Chief Justice quoted pass- lses from several of the world's great poets and prose writers ll- lUSlPB-llll! tho deep veneration and respect such writers have always had for trees.

. OTTAWA, July 0—(CP)-A Gov- ernment-summoned conference of railway wage disputants failed at its opening session today to break the strike-threatened deadlock be- tween the railroads and unions representing 150,000 employees.

But discussions will continue to- morrow, iind indications tonight were that they will go on to fin- aiity—one way or another-in the crisis menacing Canadian trans- portation with a July i5 strike. The Government appeared to be mak- ing its last play.

At the end of today's talks under the wing of Labor Minister Mit- cheil, spokesmen for lptli union groups involved in the dispute em- phasized that they stlh stood where they _did yesterday when direct union-company negotiations were broken off iii Montreal.

Frank H. Hall, chairman of the international unions’ negotiating committee, said after the flgzst meetings that his group and the railways were still as far away as ever-the unions demanding a 28- cents-an-hour increase and the railways offerings 10 cents.

Further, he said, the representa- tives of his group of 122,000 em- pioyees were still refusing to nego- tiate directly with the companies.

A. R. Mosher, president 4f the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees and Other Transport Workers (C.C.L.), said the stand of his organization, representing 26,- 000 workers, was the same as that of the international organizations.

Both spokesmen said the July 15 strike order was still in effect.

OTTAWA, July 0 -— (OP) - A payment which may total $4,000.- 000 to compensate Western pro- ducers for losses suffered on bar- ley and course grains sold before ‘price ceilings were lifted last Oct. 2i was announced today by the Government.

The payment, to be made by the Canadian Wheat Board, wili be five cents a bushel on oats and 11 cents on barley delivered and sold to elevator com-panics by western producers between Aug. 1 and Oct. 21 last year.

CANADIAN SHIP ADRIFT

Quebec Liberals Rebuked By Apostolic Delegate

OTTAWA, July 0 —(OP) -—The Apostolic Delegate to Canada to- day rebuked the Quebeo Liberal Party for its use of statements by the Pope in a series of newspaper advertisements which appeared in French newspapers in Thursday.

The rebuke was contained in a telegram to the Provincial Liberal organisation in Montreal and re- leased to the press here. It was signed "Che oelior of _ the Apos- tolic Delega on" and was in Hench. _

The Apostolic Delegate. Msgr. Ildebrando Antoniutti, did not sign the telegram himself.

Text of the telegram:

"Referring to the publication in the newspapers of yesterday. July 0. of a manifesto distributed by the Liberal organisation. the Apostolic Delegation believes it should imake the following oom- cnunication:

"It is very regrettable that the words of His Holiness the Pope should be exploited in the pages of the newspapers for the ends of election pl nda in favor of one particular political party, when it is well-known how the social doctrine of the Sovereign Pontiff is far above any party differences. I-fis Holiness has urged on several occasions the union of ail men of good will‘to face the

present danger-e of hunsmqfl ,,

The advertisement referred to consisted of a two-page spread of pictures and captions published in French-language dailies of Quebec Province.

"Italy and the world have reach- ed a turning point in the fight against Communism." one caption quoted the Pope as saying.

Another quotation from the Pope was placed above pictures of Prime Minister Mackenzie King, External Affairs Minister Si. Laurent. State Secretary Marshall of the‘ Unite?! States, Prime Min- later De‘ Gasperi of Italy. Georges Bidault of France and Liberal leader Adelard Godbout of Quebec.

Last night at the Charlottetown Hotel the Law Society of Prince Edward Island paid tribute to Mr. W. E.‘ Bentley, KC, for 40 years service as secretary - treasurer oi the Society. Mr. John T. liackctt,

adian Bar Association was also a guest of honour.

Mr. Iiackett gave a brief outline of the founding and development

the Canadian Bar Review and cem- mentcd on some of its plans for the future. In particular he spoke of a proposed survey of the legal pro- fession for the purpose of obtain- ing a factual background for fut- ure direction of legal education and to indicate in what ways the profession can better serve its clients and the country. Mr. Hack- ett pointed out that lawyers must be the guardians of personal lib- erty and that although many of its members are partisans the Can- adian Bar Association is not. The purpose of the Association iii de- ciding to conduct this survey is to gal-her objective data of a factual nature which will be of great as- sistance to lawyers in particular and to the public generally in un- derstaiiding the broadening func- tions of the profession.

Russians Copy American 8-29

WASHINGTON. July 9 —-(.A‘P)-— i The B-29 "General H. H. Arnold special" which fell into Russian hands was one of at least four Superfortresses known to have landed in Russian-controlled ter- ritory during the Second World War.

Three of them, including the General Arnold special. landed either completely intact or only slightly damaged. The fourth was a crash. All went down in North- ern Clilna or Siberia.

The significance of Russian pos- session of the 13-298 began to be- come apparent a year ago. Russian bombers, bearing a marked re- semblance in many details to the American Boeing 13-29, appeared then in air parades over Moscow. The planes obviously were copies of 13-298.

Estimates of the number of such heavy Russian bombers no-w pos- sessed by the Red Air Force run into the hundreds.

The party will comprise the Gov- ernor General and Lady Alexander, their children, Hon. Rose Alexan- der, Hon. Shane Alexander and Hon. Brian Alexander, also Flight Lieutenant I-1. W. Keane, Aide-de- Camp in waiting and Miss ‘Turner, nurse. ‘.

Their Ex- cellencies and party will have all meals in the main dining-room at Dalvay I-lotel.

Lord and Lady Alexander and Rose will occupy one cottage, while Shane and Brian and their nurse. Miss Turner, will occupy the other. Flight Lieutenant Keane will have quarters near by at Winilerinere Cabins.

Through the courtesy of Lt, Col. J‘. D. Stewart, DS.0., of Stewart Motors, a. new Mercury sedan has been placed at the disposal of Their Excellencies for the entire visit. The Officer Commanding the 17th Reece Regiment has also provided a new Jeep for tbs use of the party.

The latest word from Their Ex- cellencies is that they are looking forward with keen pleasure to their vacation on the Island.

BERLIN. July 9 -— (Reuters) - Western Berliners felt the full weight of the Russian "blockade" for the first time tonight when streetcars and subways stopped running, only one street light in four was lit, and private houses had only two hours electricity af- ter dark.

The drastic electricity cuts, coming two weeks afler the first austerity moves were introduced, would lead to an almost complete shut down of industry and mass unemployment in the British, French and American sectors, Al- lied officials predicted.

The Western Allied authorities in Berlin tonight ordered an im- mediate 50 per cent cut in gas lllllllllies to conserve coal.

Berliners Feel Full Weight 0f Blockade

The cut will save 500 tons of

coal daily. The Russian - licensed news agency ADN said late tonight

that the Russians would permit Allied automobile traffic to pro- reed to and from Berlin if the vehicles carry special travel per- niits issued by Soviet authorities.

This would amount to easing the current highway blockade for traffic moving from the west into Berlin, but would place a new re- striction on Allied automobiles departing from the city for the v." .

The agency report, which it said was obtained from official Soviet‘ sources, did not set a date on which the new regulation would take effect.

WASHINGTON, July 9 ,- (AP) -State secretary Marshall indic- ated today the United States Gov- ernment blames the Arabs for re- newing the fighting in Palestine. But he left to the United Nations Security Council any formal find-
