Police And Demon- strators Clash Near Scene Of Strike At Pecs, Hungary.

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PECS Hungary, Feb. Z4-Two demonstrators were shot and killed grid six, inciudln two I women, wounded tonight l‘ a clash with police near the mine where 267 ma] miners were entrenched on strike. .

Three hundred men and women engaged in the demonstration and stoned police as they tried to clear the way to the plthead. The six In- lured were taken to hospital.

Mine director Schick. who said be thought the demonstrators were Communist sympathiui-s, said the demonstrat occurred after the Itriklng m‘ returned unopened a letter sent to them by the man- agemcnt.

“I believe the men will stay down bi the mine through Thursday,” Schick said. "Everything is so clos- ed it is impossible to drop food to them."

The Government launched an investigation of the troubles.

Exprws Fears

Worried watchers feared tonight that 26'! striking coal miners, .en- trenched below the surface ln a flooding mine, were bent on mass suicide.

Dank water rose. slowly but steadily. in the workings where the men, demanding a 20 cents a day pay raise from their present t1 wage, began a hunger strike this morning. The gauge on an idle pump showed the watcr has risen from the ZOO-metre to the TO-metre level.

Most authorities presumed, how- ever, that the miners—irom whom nothing had been heard since morning-still were above the waterline. now almost at its maxi- mum. But they pointed to an in- creased danger from explo ives and poisonous gases, even if thc miners should not want to kill thcnwclves. The miners have shut off water und air pumps.

Fcvcrish Excitement

On the surface, in the mining luburb of Vadas, the excitement was feverish. Steel-helmelcd sold- iers and police kept wives and rel-

Mr. J. A. Thompson of Kane-ing- tcn was re-elected president of the Prince Edward Island (‘Jo-operative Egg and Poultry Association at the 23rd annual meeting yesterday afternoon.

Reports covering the year's act- ivities were submitted by the pre- sident. who read the directors’ re- port and by Mr. Leonard McDon- ald. secretary-treasurer.

Vice-presidents elected were: Prince County. Mr. J. F. Arteri- ault, Mt. Carmel; Queen's County. Mr. Austin Laird, Cavendidi; King's County, Mr. J. E. Dingwell, East Point. _

Other directors are: Prince County. Mr. W. B. McLellaii, Alma; Queen's County, Mr. J. S. Ross. Beatonfls Mills; Mr. Leonard Court, Bediord. King's County, Mr. C. B.

Clay, Dundas; Mr. J. D. Mullins, St. Peter's; and Mr. H. L. Machon, Murray Harbor.

Mr. L. V. Iongworth. auditor, re- ported he had examined the books and found everything satirfactory.

A paper on the Egmont Bay Poultry Club was read by Mr. J. F. Arsenault. It, had been prepar- ed by Mr. C. M. Arsenault who was unable to be present because of illness.

Following the reading of the dir- ectors’ report a lively discussion took place on the price paid by the Co-operative as compared with that paid by stores in certain parts of the Province. Mr. O. Cl LePage, Cavendi-h, declared that unless something was done the business of the Association in his section would be very seriously curtailed. Stores them were paying from three to fl": cent: a dozen more for eggs, especially at some sea- rons of the year, than the co-oper- ative was paying.‘

At certain seasons there seem- ed to be a fancy market in Char- lottetown that the stores catered to. He suggested that an attempt be made by he management to get that trade and prevent the competition working to the dis- advantage ct‘ the Asmciation.

Another speaker believed that if the Association advertised it would be able to get a share of the local Charlottetown trade.

Mr. Iecnard MacDonald. man- ager, raid that an attempt had been mode to sell eggs and poultry in the Charlottetown Market Building but they were not allowed to continue because a by-lsw sl- lowed only farmers to sell there.

Hon. W. H. Dennis. minister of agriculture. told the meeting that he had taken the matter up with the civic authorities but had been unable to do anything.

The Association was losing ground in his district, Mr. Leo Praught, Richmond, declared. The price spread between store and Co-operative was between three and seven cents.

Mr. W. N. Jenkins. Bedeque, suggested that a candling station in the western section of the Prov- ince might solve the difficulty. It would save the freight haul to Charlottetown and then back over the same rails when the eggs were exported.

Such a saving would not amount to much. Mr. Austin Laird claim- ed. In reply to a question Mr. Leo- nard McDonald, manager. said that the total cost of handing eggs, including freight, imurance and other charges, was 2.78 cents a docen,

Mr. J. A. Thompson, president said the directors had discussed the matter of a candling station at Emerald or Borden and found it was not feasible. For one thing there was no cold storage facilities there.

Other speakers who discussed the question were Messrs. W. D. Ross, Kinross, Murdock McLeod, 1mg River, J. D. Mullins, St. Peter's, and J. A. Dewar, New Perth

Mr. F‘. M. Nash, of the Federal Live Stock Branch. discussed dif- ferent phases of grading and other matters. It was not profitable to raise poultry for canning in the province, he said. The money was to be made in eggs. He advised a flock which the farmer could easily handle and that it be maintained regardless of what the price hap- pened to be for any one particular year.

Speaker Declares Ad- ult Education Move- ment Will Produce Results, But Not At Once.

“The thing to remember is that the Adult Education movement will not rejuvenate Prince Edward Island tomorrow", Rev. J. Nelson MacDonald of Baddeck Forks, Cape Breton, declared in an ad- dress at Prince of Wales College last night. "Capitalism took a long time to come and the new co-cp- crative movement will do like- wise", he continued. "But organ- ization and cc-operating will make for a new day and a happy and satisfied people".

The Nova Bcotia clergyman was speaking on the Adult Education movement to a large audience, largely composed of farmers, who are attending sessions of farm or- ganizations in Charlottetown. Rev. J. A. Murphy, D.D., rector of 5t. Duustans University and chair- man of the Adult Education Lea- gue of this province, presided.

Three things were necessary be- fore there could be improvement among the primary producers, Rev. Mr. MacDonald said in beginning his address. The first was educat- ion. Most co-operative effort in the pest in this country began in

the wrong way, from the top down and gave obi-pols, ___,e e tothe movement. A fresh "s art ‘was

made, Old Country methods were studied, and the movement began with education along co-operative lines.

Three Things Necessary

To make an advance in educat- ion three things were necessary. Ability to learn; the desire to do things; and the right methods. People who had come to some years of age must see advantage

before there was much hope of .

success. Therefore, practical dem- onstrations such as credit unions and the co-operatives were intro- duced. The people got t/wo things at once, knowledge and financial advancement. More important they 8M together. a very necessary thing, especially for farmers who were inclined to be very individ- uallstic. It was harder to get them together than it was fishermen or industrial workers, the speaker said.

The second necessity in the co- operative movement was organiza- tion. for in unity is strength. When people think through their own problems and not leave them to others, then will come the dawn of a new age, Rev. Mr. MacDonald declared. “We are all inclined to fight rmd ofcourse it ls in some

Messrs. W. H. McGregor, Central Dot 16, E. C. Holmes, De Sable, and Alex Hamilton, New Perth, were appointed a committee to confer with the Provincial Gov- ernment as to the best method of handling the dog menace.

A review of the year's activities and a forecast for the year were given by secretary, Mr. W.R.Shaw.

Mr. S. D. Irvine, live stock pro- moter, in a brief address said the quality of the lambs last summer was good, due to good pasture. Prices were good also.

The rain club policy enabled a large number to take advantage of desirable rams. Not all of them were successful but the majority were. 75 animals were distributed during the past season, Mr. Irvine said.

There were three ram fairs last fall which provided an excellent medium of contact. There was also a revival of the demand for breeding stock, not only in this province but also in Newfoundland.
