[Canadian Labor Mourns Mosher
JOHN LeBLANC
Cc Press Staff Writer
OTTAWA CP)—A. R. Mosher, a main architect of the 1,100,000- member Canadian Labor Con- gress and a militant union leader for more than a half century, died suddenly Saturday.
THe 78-year-old honorary presi- dent of the Congress suffered a heart attack while listening to a football broadcast in his summer home at Lake Bernard, 25 miles north of here in Quebec's Gati- neau hills.
As head of the former Cana- dian Congress of Labor, Mr. Mosher played a large role in merging that body with the rival Trades and Labor Congress of Canada and cheerfully stepped aside to make way for TLC. pres- ident Claude Jodoin as top man in the amalgamated body.
“He was the chief founder of the

way Employees in 1907- and re- mained its president until 1952, when he“became its honorary life \president.
LARGEST UNION
The union, now the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Trans- port and General Workers, has grown from a handful of Nova
<=
about 40,000 stretching into ho tels, shipping, highway transport and many other fields.
It is the largest all-Canadian union and runs about even with the Teamsters as Canada’s larg- est transport union.
Dynamic and tireless, Mr. Mosher continued his labor ac- Mivitias long affer Moving into the! honorary union jobs.
At the time of “his death, he. was serving on the Canada Labor Relations Board and also was a member of the federal govern- ment’s national employment com: mittee.
Diefenbaker Visits Quebec
By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)—Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker is back in Ot- tawa after a week - long trip through Quebec, longest junket of its kind that he has under- taken since taking office in 1957. It was billed as a non-political outing, sort of a holiday from Ottawa routine dutes for the prime minister who thrives on travel.
But # happened to coincide with some other developments that might be construed in some quarters as evidence that the Progressive Conservative govern- ment is polishing up its atten- tions to Quebec.
And it followed public opinion survey reports earlier this year that Quebec’s political affection for the government was on the ebb. Those surveys indicated that
ithe Liberals were regaining
strength in their former strong- hold of Quebec which in the 1958 general election returned 50 con- servatives among its 75 Commons members.
VANIER APPOINTMENT
Aside from Mr. Diefenbaker’s trip, there were two other recent developments flattering to Que- bec. One was the appointment of Maj.-Gen, George P. Vanier as Governor - General, first from French-Canada.
Then there was the strengthen- ing of Quebec’s representation in the cabinet with the naming of a sixth member in Pierre Sevigny, as associate defence minister.
Now, Mr. Diefenbaker has taken his ‘first good non-cam- paign look at Quebec. He was carefully non - political, limiting nis remarks to\the general theme summed up in references ‘to a “togetherness” in Canadian thought and the “oneness of our Canadianism.”

Peace Hopes Strengthened
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nikita Khrushchev said Sunday his hopes for peace have been strengthened by his visit to the United States and his talks with President Eisenhower.
The premier expressed this thought repeatedly in differing forms i a, televised press con- ference held six s before his scheduled tetu Russia. .
But on specific‘points of how the outlook has been improved there was little information to be gained by the several hundred reporters who heard him at the National Press Club.
Asked what reply he had given to Ejisenhower’s request for as- surances that Western rights in Berlin would be _ respected, Khrushchev said he didn’t think everything he and Eisenhower talked about had to be made pub- lic.
Without qualification, the prem- fer repeated the Soviet stand that

Apparently yielding a little on cither side—but making no major concessions—they reached suffic- ient .ground at thejr Maryland hilltop retreat to make progress

on world issues which probably would take place at Geneva in the next few months.
Their major agreement, stated in a communique which culmin- |

BAN FORCE
They agreed that all pending in- ternational problems — including the crucial Berlin issue ‘‘should be settled not by application of force but by peaceful means through negotiation.”
Khrushchev indicated to a press conference later, before departing for Moscow, that he and Eisen- hower found some “common ground” on Berlin and he would not disclose the details.
But Khrushchev stood firm in insisting that East and West Ger- many remain divided, saying he feared a recurrence of Germany ‘treachery”’ which had led to two world wars.

NATIONAL CONVENTION
.. By KEN KELLY
Canadian Press Staff Writer
OTTAWA (CP) — The Young Liberals Federation of Canada, winding up a national convention here Saturday, went on record in favor a national flag . built around the Maple Leaf and with- out either Union Jack or fleur de-lis emblems.
The resolution was one ‘of about a dozen, ranging from demands for a reduction in cigaret taxes to establishment of a federal de- partment of consumer affairs, passed at concluding sessions.
The consumer resolution said the proposed federal department would be responsible for warn ing the publi¢ against consumer fraud, compelling publication by consumer finance companies of their effective rates of interest and preparing legislation to en- sure the public is protected.
The resolution was échoed by Ray J. Perrault, 33, British Col- umbia Liberal leader, in an ad- dress to the concluding luncheon. He said the young Liberals should champion the consumer and consider ways to bring ‘‘the consumer into the bargaining table in major labor-management negotiations.”
FLAG DEBATED
Although the flag resolution re- ceived a fiveto-one majority on a show-of-hands vote, it is un- derstood to have squeaked through the resolutions commit- tee earlier by @ one-vote margin.
The resolution provoked consid- erable debate at a plenary ses sion although only eight votes votes were cast against it. , Supporters advanced argu- ments that the Maple Leaf is a symbol which could unite Cana-
origins, that it would emphasize Canadian independence
Union Jack in the flag: “‘We don’t argue with you but we haven't the guts to present an al- ternative.’
