Trawler,

ABOARD THE FRIGATE
EASTBOURNE (Reuters) — The
British trawler King Sol reported
Tuesday night it rammed the
Icelandic gunboat Odin off the
northwest coast of Iceland and

made a right nice mark in his
bow.”

The King Sol reported that the
Odin ‘tried to come alongside
from aft so I went astern into
him... .” The trawler added that
the Odin put a grapnel over its
side and tried to foul the trawler
net.

‘I went full astern and have
the grapnel as evidence,” the
King Sol skipper radioed.

Earlier, it was reported that
Icelanders aboard the Odin pelted
the trawler Loch Fit wiih dried
cod. The Loch Fleet said it re-
taliatd “‘in like manner.”

This tattle of the cod followed

Canopus as she fished off the
north coast.

Seven unarméd Icelanders, led
by a petty officer and all wearing
lifejackets, stood on the deck as
the gunboat came alongside.

‘We pushed the gunboat off
with broom handles,” Nettleship
said. ‘The catering staff were

Patrol In

OTTAWA (CP) — The govern-
ment for the first time has, re-
vealed the strength of a shadowy
band of volunteers who patrol
Canada’s rémotest areas on the
lookout for any enemy landings.

There are 2,690 personnel in the
Canadian Rangers, comprising
trappers, Wwoodsmen, prospectors,
miners, farmers and others who
live in sparsely-settled regions of
Canada, particularly the notrh
and some coastal areas.

The army is extremely elose-
mouthed about formations and
operations of the Rangers. They
are organized in companies
across Canada but exactly how
they operate has never been: dis-
closed.

The Rangers might be called
on to play a vital role in event of
air attack on Canada. They may
report any suspicious activities,
round up enemy agents or sabo-
teurs, act as coast or air observ-
ers or perform rescue work.

TRAP AGENTS

One particular thing they look
for is the parachuting of enemy
agents into remote areas to set
up beacons to. guide bombers or
submarines.

The Rangers can also act as
guides for paratroopers or other
army troops unfamiliar ‘with the
terrain in which they were oper-
ating. In’ event of any enemy
landings in Canada, the Rangers
could become this country’s first
guerilla fighters.

The Rangers are not a com-
ponent of the army but have the
status of organized militia. They
are not referred to in any public
documents and identity of the
band’s members is largely un-
known.

The Rangers are unpaid unless
yieced on active sezvice or em-
picyed with the regular army for

northern exercises or attendance

at a regular army training|-
school.

Each Ranger is issued a rifle
and ancillary equipment worth at
the most $42., He draws no al-
lowances or rations and his ac-
tivities are known only to com-
manders of the various army
commands.

The Rangers are recruited
mostly from among men who
would not be available to the
armed’ forces in an emergency
because of age or other circum-
stances.

Revised Anti-Dumping Law
Draws Protest From: U.S.

Of GATT

OTTAWA. CP — The United
States has formaily protested new
Canadian legislation tightening
anti-dumping laws, charging it
violates the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade.

U.S. Embassy officials said
Tuesday the note was handed to
Canadian authorities about a week
ago but as yet they have re-
ceived. no direct reply. They
noted, however, that in the mean.
time the legislation was. given
royal assent and now is in force.

At the time the protest was
lodged the bill was under Com-
mons debate. There was no pub.
lie indication at that tine that
the Canadian government had re-
ceived any protest.

American officials said the leg-
islation is a violation of Article 6
of GATT which establishes that
“fair market value” will be used
as a criterion for levying duties
on imports.
Normally, under GATT, the
price of an imported product ig

Trainmen Demand An Immediate
Resumption Of Contract Talks

By ROBERT RICE.
Canadian Press Staff Writer
MONTREAL (CP) — The Train-

men’s union has served notice on
the railways demanding immedi-
ate resumption of contract talks
without waiting for the railways
to settle their $38,000,000 wage
dispute with the 15 non-operating
unions, it was learned Tuesday.

The Trainmen’s move is to be
followed within a week by a sim-
ilar demand on the Canadian
Pacific Railway from the Fire-
men’s union, it was understood.

Together the two unions repre-
sent the majority of railway work-
ers in the “running trades’’—the
men who operate trains.

It was not immediately known
if the third ‘“‘running trade” union
—the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers — will follow their
example,

The Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, bargaining for about
18,000. workers on both railways,
had demanded a 25-per-cent wage
increase and other. benefits. The
railways countered. with propos-
als for a number of rule changes.

Discussions on the wage de-
mands were left in abeyance—al-
most by mutual consent—pending
some sort of decision on the ‘‘non-
ops” case, the largest rail-union
dispute which sets a pattern for
other contract settlements on
wage issues.

A conciliation board majority
report recommended a 14-cent-an-
hour wage increase for the 130,-
000 non-operating employees. This
was accepted by the unions in the
interests of industrial peace even
though it was less than half what

they had originally sought.

The railways, however, de-

clined to accept or reject the con-
ciliation recommendation ' until
they receive a freight rate boost
to cover tie future wage bill, es-
timated to cost $60,000,000 " if
spread across the board to other
railway workers, Aoclnding the
running trades.

“Tt could take months to settle
the case,’ said a spokesman for
the Trainmen’s union. ‘“‘We can’t
wait that long.” s

The non-ops union, which went
on strike for three days in May
against the CPR, is engaged in
conciliation hearings over a wage
and rule dispute with the pub-
licly-owned CNR. The hearings,
which opened this summer, have
been adjourned until Oct. 6. The
union wants an 18-per-cent wage
increase w7fle the company wants
