Premier Maintains ' Strike (in Aiiegweit Was Wholly Illegal

Taking strong objection to a let- ter which appeared in the local press, Premier J. Walter Jones rose in the Legislature on a question of privilege last week to call it to the attention oi the members and to

reply to it. The letter was bigned by Mr. Alex Macl..ean, president of the

local branch of the canadian Bro- therhood oi Raiiroad Employees and criticized the Premier for statements contained in his cor- respondence with Mir. W.E. Robin- son, vice president of the Canadian

National Railways, Moncton, re- garding the proposed bus fran- chise.

In the Iagislature. Premier Jones said that it seemed that the rail- way was controlled by organized labor and remarked that though they denied being political ap- pointees there were many of them coming to members of the Govern- ment seeking recommendations.

Regarding the stopping of the sari

ferry during the railway strike the Premier said it was a wholly ii. legal act. lie quoted from a book- let which he said contained an agreement entered into between the railroad and the Brotherhood to the effect that in case of neces- sity the regulations of the Govern- men Vessels Discipline Act would take precedence over the agree- ment. Those regulations call for no stoppage of work and provided fines for various acts of disobe- dience.

The Prunicr maintained that the "AbogWeit'.' should have been taken out by (her captain regard- less of labor orders and said that if the late Captain. John Read had been in command she would have sailed.

H9 I150 Dblected to In employee 0! a Crown company writing what he termed political letters and Ii-ronliy obiected to being termed In Oiivonent of labor. The Premier said he simply wanted the mem- bers of the legislature to have I true picture of the conditions. He said he mentioned the letter only because his charge of illegal- ity hsd been denied and he wished the members to know his reason for quoting from the agreement and the Discipline Act.

Their reasons:

1. Agreement on the method for exchanging psil0IICI'l of war ls in the works.

2. Once the prisoner-exchange deal is completed a bargain could finish off the talks in a matter of hours. That bargain would be for the United Na- tions to withdraw its demanded ban on rebuilding Red airfieids. providing the Communis gave in on the nomination of Russia as a neutral observer.

8. Settlement of the alrfields and Russian issues would pave the way for a dramatic finish which would be rilht down the Red aile '

Indications that the Reds were ready to bargain on sir-fields and Russia were seen Friday in s Oom- inunist announcement at Panmun- iom:

". . . .In order to make progress in these conferences. our side con- siders that your side must first withdraw the demand to interfere in our internal affairs."

Any attempt to restrict rebuild- ing of their military sirfields would be interference with their internal lylqirg, the Reds maintain.

The l1.N. already has told them they could build civilian airlieids.

That's not the way I found Alber- ton. It was as heat and lovely as i had remembered it. I think the main difference was that the trees were so much larger."

Leavihg his" native Province in 1922, Mr. Rogers studied art at Toronto and Boston and spent some time in New York. For some years he had been making his headquarters on a farm in South- ern Vermont near Brattieboro, but spent the greater part of the years of World War II in Canada. During the war he painted many war post- ers. copies of which were on view from coast to coast and in other countries.

When in Drattleboro some time ago. he met a girl who was a stud- ent of journalism and keenly in- tcrested in art. He found that she seemed to know instinctively what effects he was striving for in paint- ing and acted as a model in some of his pictorial work. To his sur- prise. he found that she was a Prince Edward Islander like him- self - a Miss Donna Shaw.

Quebec Conference Picture

In his uptown Ottawa studio. Mr. Rogers is now working on a group picture of the leading figures of the Quebec Conference of 19-13. The work shows the late President Roosevelt. the late Prime Minister Mackenzie King and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill seated in chairs on Duffel-in Terrace with the towers of the Chateau Front- enac In the background. Standing behind the President and Mr. King is the Earl of Athlone. Governor- Gencral of Canada during World War II. and a group of Army. Navy and Air Force officers of the three countries.

Mr. Rogers had previously sketch- ed the Earl of Athione and among his wartime pictures is one of Mary Churchill. daughter of the British Prime Minister and war leader.

While he specializes in portrait work. Mr. Rogers sometimes finds time for landscapes and other forms of pointing.

Asked if he dabbled in surrealist art and ultra-modern painting practices, Mr. Rogers said that these were not for him but that he could see what certain of the "im- minative" modcrns were seeking. Most of them. he said. were really highly-trained and competent art- ists and while some of their works are incomprehensible to a. layman. there is a definite objective in view.
