Gall Conference To Study British Goal Production

By STUART UNDERHILL LONDON, Oi-t. 4 (CP) The disappointing showing of Britain's coal industry will be subjected to a searching exam- ination Thursday hy leaders of all parties concerned.

-Mines Minister Hugh Gaitskell has called a conference with the executive of the National Union at Mineworkers and the National Coal Board which operates the nationalised mines to discuss the problem of production,

Output is running atliead of last your but is less than was ex- pected. Unless there is a sharp weekly increase the mines will be about 4.000.000 tons short of the your’! deep-mined target of 900,- 1100000 tone.

Goitskell in an address in Yorkshire Sunday said that unless rnorg coal 1s forthcoming it (night be IQOEBBIry to clip into stocks to meet export commitments This could ‘be done once but not twice.

ahout 8,000.00!) tons ahead of 1047. But absenteeism is higher and ire men have slit-urn little will to work hz-irier.

Last number, with about 11000 its: workers, weekly output was 4,045,000 tors about 160,000 tons more than the best week last month. An extra 250.000 to 300,000 weekly is needed to roach the tar- get. Another step would be observ- ance of Saturday overtime work- ing. Aftcr azrecing to a live-day week, thp Government last year asked the miners to ‘work Satur- days. At first it. added 230,001) tons a week but the effort has fallen off to abOut 100.000 and many who work Saturday stay home Monday.

Another problem which must be faced is that oi getting the men to accept the Board's recommen- dations, Many mines have refus- ed to carry out rearranged shifts which would yield more coal. Oth- er arguments have rwed ever piece rates and reorganization of collierles.

Few of these disagreements have been forced to the point oi’ a strike something the Na- tional Coal Board ls most anx- ions to xNOld - but the fact they tirag on unsettled hasn't helped the Board's prestige

Interesting Displays For Potato Growers

Potato growers will have the opportunity et the Potato reit- ival, which opens at tho Ober- lottetown Forum this morning, to see displays illustrntingthe latest scientific methods employed in the eradication o! the more serious potato diseases and insects.

Mr. 5.0. Peppin, in charge of the Provincial seed certification work, Dominion Department of AgricultuN, said yesterday that those displays should be of much pnactical value to most island potato growers. In addition. Mr. Peppin said, there would be ew- eral worthwhile displays set up by the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Charlottetown.

Commenting on the recipes to ‘be submitted at the Festival for the cooking of potatoes, iVi-r, Pep- pin said the prize-winning re- cipes should be printed in large quantities and one of each placed in every bag of potatoes leaving the Province.

Mr. Peppin said that the PE. Island Innkeepers‘ Association, sponsors of the Festival, are de- serving of the fullest measure of support from the 5.000 seed-po- tato growers in the Provlnce. since the two-day Festival cannot but result in wide publicity for Island potatoes.

D.S. Railways Boost’ Wages By 1 0 Per Gent

CHICAGO, Oct. 4 —(AP) United States railroads agreed ‘.0- day to a wage increase o! l0 cents an hour. effective Oct. 16. for 175.000 operating railroad per- sonnel.

The increase covers conductors, trainmen. yardmen, yardmasters and dining car employees repre- sented by the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad ‘Irainmen.

The two unions had asked for e wage increase of 25 per cent. Negotiations on the increase have been under way since Sept. 14.

Announcement of the settle- ment was made jointly by H. W. Fraser. president of the Conduc- tors Union; D. A. MacKerizie. as- sistant president of the trainmen: and Daniel P. Loomis, chairman of the Western Railroads‘ Wage Committee on behalf of the car- riers.

Loomis estimated the new in- crease would add $55.665.000 a year to the railroads’ labor costs. He said that if this same increase is applied to all railroad workers the carriers’ operating costs would rise $381,175,000 annually.

Negotiations are still pending on the demands for wage increases for three other operating unions and l8 non-operating groups.

These three unions. which claim 250.000 members, are the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers, the switehmenk Union aruithe Broth- erhood of locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.

Negotiations with the l6 non- operating unions. which claim l.- 000000 members, began Sept. 8 and collapsed Sept. 17. These un- ions now are taking a. strike vote.

Jet Planes Gould Solve Arctic Flying

By Lorne Bruce

EDMONTON. Oct. 4 --(CP) — Jet planes could prove to be the big answer to the problems of Arc- tic flying.

Thls possibility was indicated to- day by Wing Cmdr. A. M. (Archie) Cameron, the man in charge of t-he R..C.A.F‘.’s Winter Eirperimeu- tal Establishment.

In an interview the 34-year-old pilot said the difficulties of flying in far-below-zero temperatures are "being ilcked" gradually.

Wing Cmdr. Cameron, who comes from Stellarton. N. S.. said jet engines have simpler construc- tlon, fewer moving parts and are much easier to cope with when starting in Arctic cold.

But the jets have two disad- vantages - greater fuel consump-

The Winter Experimental Estab- lishment has its headquarters at Edmonton. Most of the flying is clone at Watson Lake, just north of the British Columbia-Yukon boundary. and at Churchill, Man., on Hudson Bay.

Because s. man's efficiency is halved when working in far-be- low-zero temperatures. operating aircraﬂ. at present in the Arctic requires double the normal nurn- ber of personnel.

Doubling the personnel "snow- balls" the supply situation. Wing Omdr. Cameron commented. caus- lng a. “colossal logistics headache."

Starting an airplane in the Arc- tic presents similar difriicultles to starting an automobile in sub-nor- mal temperatures, but magnified tremendously

Special equipment is eliminating these kinks. but again this solution multiplies the supply requirements
