claim Agreed

he said I proposed railway formula to make this possible goes too far.

SUGGEST 30-DAY PERIOD

The railway: have suggested that contracts automatically mould be- come effective 15 days after they are filed with the board of trans- port commissioners. Mr. Smith proposed that contract: should be- come effective 30 days after filing providing no objections have been raised by shipper-. compelling eer- riera. you ' ' guy-. A or public bodies affected by In agree- ment.

Later Canada Packers Limited accused the railways of using I form of compulsion to force ship- pers to sip: agreed charge eon- tracts.

The Iccusntion was made by H. L. Rowntree of Toronto. counsel for the packing comps .

PIAOHCE UNPAID.

He said the general practice of the railways is to withdraw I com- petitive rate following the signing of an agreed charge contract. 'n'iIl meant that shippers outside the contract were required to pay I normal rate which was higher than the competitive or agreed-charge rate.

"This witf.-idi-awai of the com- petitive rate can only be described as compulsion on the part of the railways-I threat that if shippers do not sign the agreed charge the existing competitive rate would be taken from them and they would have to use I higher comm "" rate." Mr. Rowntree said. "The practice also is unfair. punitive and undesirable."

The US. armed forces were par- ticularly interested in acquiring I technique for building quickly far- North bomber fields.

Though snow - compaction has been found unsuitable for new in- tercontinental bombers-they are too heavy-snow-strips could still be built for lighter aircraft.

The simple principle of the snow- compaction machine is that snow will bear a good deal of weight if it is made more dense-that is. compressed. The Russians started development of such a machine as long ago as 1942.

. The machine chew: up snow. which comes out like grain sugar. The machine also chews up small trees--up to six inghes in diameter -v at the butt-which may be in the way so that the airstrip mIy'be a mixture of snow and chips. 50-TON ROLLERS

It is not essential. the informant said. that the snow be rolled after being put through the machine but this is, usually done, using 50-ton rollers.

The experimental work was done at Kapuskasing. 0nt.; Goose Bay. Labrador; Fort Nelson. B.C.; and Thule, Greenland.

Maintenance of snow-strips also presents a problem. With each new fall of snow. the strip must be.
