No Provision Made For Lobster-s Under Prices Support Act

UITAWA. July B —(Stpeclnl)_ Fisheries Minister Prank Bridges told W. Chcster S, McLure. Pro- gressive Conservative member for Queen's that his Department does not. intend to recommend that lobsters come under the Fisheries Prices Support Act.

In discussion of departmental estimates Mr. McLurc appealed for a statement as to the operation of the Prices Support Board and as to whether it had been decid- ed to put a. floor price under lob- stars.

Mr. Bridges did not specify Just why lobsters will remain for the time at least outside the scope oi’ the Act. Departmental offic- ials told The Guardian today that there were two reasons. First was that despite the drop in prices of ‘nclh fresh and canned lobster in recent months. it was felt that the demand for these crustaceans would be “considerably firmer" than for other species u: sea- food; particularly in the summer season. 1n the second place. it was intimated that since lobster

fails in tha “luxury" class, it would command attention only after essential fish foods had

been attended to. Answering Mr. McLurds second question as to what quota Prince

Sees Coal Operators

or Penalty

WASHINGTON, Juy 0-(Ap)_ A warning that coal operators risk criminal prosecution for signing John L. Lewis‘ precedent-breaking wage contract was sounded today by representative Fred Hartley (Rm-N. J.) ovm as southern operators cspitulsted and affixed

their signatures.

Hartley said the pact violates the newly-enacted ‘hit-Hartley labor law.

About 00 per cent of the United States seft coal industry new has form ly agreed to Lewis’ terms.

ﬁoductlon in northern states soared as nliners thrcnged back into the pits and output la expect- ed to be normal in most of these states by tomorrow. In the south, where the operators balked for a time at the contract. it may take longer to set in full IWlhg again.

Reports from the field \ said miners’ jubilation was tempered by g realisation that prices are a»! to go up.

The Southern Coal Producers As- sociation. the last msicr hoidoui against the contract. yielded en rnassalate today. Representatives of l0 cf its is member associations promptly snardud to Lewis’ head- quarters and affixed their names.

The ink was hardly dry when Hartley said l-n a House of Rep- resentaifvee speech that any oper- ator who signed up might face charges carrying penalties up to $10,000 in fines and one year's lrn- prisonment.

The check-off of initiation fees and assessments of the. United Mines Workers, provided in the contract, is not slnctioned and in s, "clear violation of the act,"

' tl Compromise Propose

in Balkan issue

LAKE SUCCESS. J-uly 9 —(APi -France and Colombia have HD- proached the United States with compromises aimed at reconciimﬂ the opposed American and Russian proposals for settlement oi Bal- kan disorders, it was learned authoritatively today.

The American delegation to tihe United Nations has rejected both proposals designed to water down the United States resolution call- ing for a semi-permanent investi- gating cccnmission to halt Greek border disturbances.

Russia already has rejected the commission idea, put all the blame on Greece, and insisted that the Atheng Government itself take steps to correct the situation.

The French and Colombian pro- posals were understood to call for a commission without power to act except vrith the express consent of Greece and three Soviet sateliltes-— Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria.

The French move was viewed as an outgrowth of pressure from the Communists at home to follow o ll-ne close to Russia.

The council will renew its dis. cussions on the Greek situation tomorrow.

A Princess who was born in an ordinary house, and who will one day become a Queen, is to be a Royal bride. Her name is Prin- cess Elizabeth, whose earliest home was at 2i Brutcn Street, London, and who as a baby was known ail over the world as the “Wee" Princess. Grown-up now (she was twenty- one on April 31st last), she is to have a State wedding in West- minster Abbey, London, when she marries Ldeutenant Philip Mountbatten, formerly Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. Not until the Princess was ten years old was it definitely known that she will probably someday wear the British Crown. But right from her early days she was brought up with that possibility in mind.
