MONTREAL. Oct. M - (C'P)u. Five match companies were found RUM? today of forming and op- erating a monopoly controlling the Canadian match business and were fined a total of s85.000 and costs.

The trial of the five companies. on charges laid under the Com- bines Investigation Act. began last April 2 and ended May 29.

The Valcourt Company, said His Lordship. was incorporated to help Eddy organize, operate and maintain control in the industry and served as intermediary in Eddy's purchase of other accused corporations.

Valcourt was in a special posi- tion. said the judgment. The other companies aided Eddy in forming and exploiting the illegal coalition. The alleged monopoly covered all Canada except New- foundland.

Three Craufi Burn Fiercely In Buffalo Harbor

BUFFALO. N.Y.. Oct. 29 -(APl - The Great Lakes freighter Pen- obscol. and an oil barge under tug tow collided tonight in Buffalo har- bor and police reported at least seven dead.

The estimate came from In- spector Jeremiali Cronin. He said that at least 20 seamen were in- jured.

The United States Coast Guard reported that they knew definitely of two dead, but added that there undoubtedly were more.

Flames quickly leaped more than 200 feet in the air. enveloping the barge and partially covering the Penobscol. and the.iug,

The barge was believed to be the Moranla and the tug the Ohio.

At the time of the collision the tow was inbound and the Ponch- scot. which uploaded a grain cargo Sunday. was leaving the harbor for the Upper Great Lakes.

Princess Elizabeth Seen Warming To Reception

Canada

.. By JOHN l.eBLANt7 (Canadian Press Staff Writer)

ABOARD PRESS AIRLIFT PLANE OF ROYAL TOUR, Oct. 2!) - (CP) - Princess Elizabeth seems to be warming to tier reception by the Canadian people with every lao of her long tour.

Press observers who have trav- elled with her and Prince Philip for about 5,000 miles have sensed :1 growing animation in the Prin- cess' response to her huge crowds. a quicker flash of her wide smile and an attitude of being more at ease with the people than when she arrived three weeks ago.

In the opening stages of the tcur she was friendly and smiling. but she seemed reserved and self- conscious at times. Then. the free- nnd-casy Philip appeared to oe taking a hand occasionally to dis- pel any uncertainty on the Prin- cess' part.

But as the gathering stream of Canndais welcome has poured out through parts of Central Canada. across the Prairies and on the Pac- ific coast. Elizabeth has cottoned visibly to the obvious warmth of Canadians. She is more relaxed and receptive to the welcomes.

To those following the tour. this has been particularly noticeable. since the series of visits among hundreds of thousands of spirited westerners in the last fortnight and the three-day rest she and Philip enjoyed in privacy on Vancouver Island last week.

The westis rip-roaring welcome was an undoubted morale booster. and the rest must have bolstered her physically after an exhausting trans-Atlantic and transcontinent- al trip.

At all events. as she headed to- day for Montreal by plane in fl

Chevricr In Dark Regarding Railway Appeal

OTTAWA. Oct. 29 -fSpecial)- Transport Minister Chevricr con- fessed frankly in the House of Commons this afternoon that he did not know why the Canadian National Railways declined to ac- cept the ruling of the Board of Transport Commissioners last September 15 on Prince Edward Island freight rates.

The board decided on that oc- casion that the province should be regarded as a single zone for fremht purposes instead of having two zones with different rates. Mr. Chevricr made the admission in reply to a question asked some days ago by W. Chester S. Mc- Lure, Conservative member for Queen's.

The Minister said:

"I do not know why the decision was not acceptable. but I do know that the officers of the Canadian National Railways have informed me that they have decided to ask the Board of Transport Commis- sioners to review and rehear the case. Any party who feels himself agrieved under the Railway Act may ask the board to hear or re- vicw or reliear a case. That is why the Canadian National Railways have asked the board to do this and I understand the case will be
