Steel, Lumber Industries Protest Rates Increases

OTTAWA. Sept. 25-(CF)-Twn industries at opposite ends of Canada protested to the Board of Transport Commissioners today against the type of freight-rate increases authorized for the rail- wnys in the last four years.

Eastern steel and western lum- lwr spokesmen asked the board in switch from the percentage- lypa of increase, which they said upset the competitive position of shippers distant from their mar- kr-ix.

The submissions were entered luv Dominion Steel and Coal,Cor- lmrnlion, on behalf of its prim- nry steel production at Sydney. N. 5.. and by the British Colum- bin Lumber Manufacturcrs' As- nciafion.

Mr. Hansard suggested rate in- creases should be on the basis of cents per 100 pounds. He asked the board not only to use that principle in future increases but to modify past increases in the same way.

For the B. C. Association, Wal- ter S. Campbell of Vancouver said the percentage increases have had the effect of destroying mar- ket patterns. The association wanted to see the board use the principle of incorporating ceilings on any increases applying to lum- her. ,

Railway counsel appearing in support of their application for a general eight-per-cent rate in- crease told the board the B. C. lumber case has been under con- sideration by the railways for some time and is still under re- view.

SAINT JOHN. TV. 3. Sept. fill - (OP)-Senator G. Percy Burchlll. president of the New Brunswick Telephone Company.

The last general increase in rates-the only one since 1920-be- came effect Nov. 1. 1949. Since then. Senator Bul-chill said, costs rose more rapidly than revenues.

The proposed new increases range from 15 cents per month to 32.50 for business t' P and from (0 to as cents I month for residential service. In saint John. residential private line service costs up to 3415 a month. with an ad- zltlonal four per cent provincial

The Minister told a press confer- ence that-o. floor price for cattle will be maintained until the lifting

of the United States embargo against Canadian livestock and meat. l

He promised that the 525 floor price would be restored next April 1 if the embargo--enforced when foot and mouth disease broke out in Saskatchewan last spring-has not been lifted by that time.

To Cut Hog Price Support

At the same time Mr. Gardiner said the present floor price of S26 is hundredweight for Grade A hogs, basis Montreal and Toronto, will be maintained until Dec. 31. After that date it will be reduced to 823 a hundrcdwelght which he termed "not an incentive price."

The government. already candy- ing a surplus of 40,000,000 pounds of canned pork, is not encouraging farmers to produce more hogs. The government hopes to sell some pork to Germany and possibly other countries.

Although Canada has officially informed the United State: that she is free of foot and mouth dis- ease, the Minlster declined to spec- ulate cn when the American mar- ket might be reopened to Canadian livestock and meat.

He did not believe. however. that it is set U. S. policy to maintain an embargo for fl. year following the declaration that a country is free of the disease. This had been done by the U. S. in the case of Mexico, but Mexico presented "a different set of circumstances." lie did not elaborate on the remark.

Need To Hold Cattle

Mr. Gardiner emphasized again the importance of farmers continu- ing to hold their cattle on the farm.

To take up the surplus of beef caused by the U. S. closure. Canada recently entered an agreement to provide up to 63,000,000 pounds of Canadian beef to Britain in return for New Zealand beef which ordinarily would have gone to the U. K. .

Warm Commendation

The plowing of Mr. Molcrisaey brought high words of praise from Mr. W. Baird, Amherst. N. s.. who judged the event. He said it wan

excellent remarked that he was very esed with the work of the boy king part. Particular-

ly appealing to him was the care they took of the crown and flu- ish and the efforts made to assllrs a straight furrow. "They were no:

afraid to stop and correct any- thing." Tha plowing in general, Mn

Balrd noted. was of a vcry' high class. However, it appeared to him that there as better work done with the tw -sod tractors than with the three-sod ones. This. he thought. might be due to the grant- er experience of plowmen handling the smaller type.
