CORNER BR.OOK,Nf ld.. Nov. 30-((7P)- The biggest fire in Corner Brook's history raced

through the town's business centre today. destroying at least 15 shops and causing damage estimated at about 31,000,000.

Fire-fighting efforts were ham- pered by lack of water. caused by a changeover in the water supply system which left hydrants in the

fire area without sufficient fire- fighting pressure. Water service crews rushed

MONTREAL, Nov. 30 -- (CF)- Rallway union leaders have re- jected Federal conciliation ef- forts to solve the railway wage dispute but have left the way open for a resumption of negotia- tions with the railroads.

Frank H. Hall. spokesman for the 15 international and two na- tional brotherhoods. announced Saturday that the unions have turned down the majority report of a conciliation board which recommended a 16-cent-an-hour pay boost for 144.000 non-operating rail workers. The unions have sought a 45-cent raise.

However, his brief statement said the unions would hold them- selves available should Labor Min- ister Gregg wish "further discus- sions" between the brotherhoods and the companies, Canadian Pu- cific and Canadian National Rail- ways.

Two Developments

The statement prompted two developments: p

1. A railway spokesm n, speak- ing for both lines, said here that the companies are ready to sit down again with the unions to discuss their differences.

2. Mr. Gregg said in Ottawa he will be "very glad" to make available "all the facilities of collectim bargaining for furth- er negotiationa.l'

SAARBRUEOKE . Dec. l -- (CP) - Johannes Hofmann and his pm-French government were re- turned to power in this industrial pocket state, final election results showed early today.

The Christian Democrats will have 29 seats in the 50-seat parlia- ment. socialists will have l7 and the Communists tour.

Final results gave the main par- ties these. totals: Christian Demo- crats 230,383: Socialists 141,865: Communists 41.346; People's Party 14,744.

Of the 579.221 votes cast, l-11,892 were invalidated indicating the strength of the pro-German vot- ers, who had no candidates stand- ing.

90 Per Cent Vote

A Government spokesman estim- ated at the close of the polls that 90 per cent of all eligible voters had cast ballots-a normal turn- out.

The heavy vote in a chilling rain shattered the German campaign, calling for a boycott of the elect- ion.

The voters. whose tiny but coal- rich border state has been a bone 'af contention between France and Germany for generations. were torn once again in today's election between their powerful neighbors.

West Germany. demanding the Saar's return. asked the Saarland- ers to boycott the elections in pro- test agalnstithe presentsaar Gov- ernment.'which supports the Saar's post-war economic annexation to France.

France countered by offering the

Saar new concessions in their economic partnersinp. Limited Opportunity But. the 630.000 Saarianders

eligible to vote had little opport- unity to express themselves clearly on this issue at the ballot box.

They could only:

1. vote for one of three parties committed to continuing the Sears separation from Germany.

2. Vote Communist.

3. Or show their pro-German sentiments by refusing to vote or by casting blank ballots.

Consequently. the number of non-voters and blank ballots was more important than the valid party vote. A widespread boycott would amount to a repudiation of the French attachment.

The old Saar Government elected in 1947 has been controlled by the Christian Peoples Party. headed by Prime Minister Johannes Hoff- mann. His. party won 51.2 per cent of the votes and 28 of the 50 par- liamentary seats in 1947.
