Billet Whiiigle I Between Provinces, May Develop

By The Canadian Press

A bitter court wrangle over in- ierprovincial livestock embargoes is threatening between at least two provinces and may encompass others. but the Federal Govern- ment is staying clear of the issue and probably won't. take active part in the fight.

Alberta. angered by British Columbia's reluctance to lift its embargo against Alberta meats and southern livestock, indicated Wednesday it will seek a quick court test of the embnrgoes Impos- ed as a result of foot-and-mouth disease in South Saskatchewan.

A provincial government spokes- man at Edmonton intimated that the government may send I test shipment of cattle into B. C. with- out flrst obtaining a B. C. import permit. The Pacific province elthi-i would have to prosecute the ship- per or waive enforcement of its embargo. ' ,

However. he is calling a meeting of B. C. cattle growers. livestock officials and other interested part- ies on Thursday when the B. C. embargo regulations will be re- viewed.

Mr. Bowman. durlniz the last few days. met with Alberta's Agri- culture Minister. David Ure, who went to Victoria in an attempt to set E. C. to reopen its markets to all Alberta livestock and meat. 13. C. currently allows only livestock from Edmonton and northern parts of Alberta in its markets.

Steel Production In Brilainjown

GENEVA, Switzerland, March 26 (AP)-Britain was the only major steel-producing country in the world to turn out less steel last year than in 1950, the United Na- tions Economic Commlsslon for Europe reported today.

Definite statistics on Europe's 1051 steel production published by the commission showed that West- ern Europe's total steel output rose from 62.510900 metric tons in 1050 to 50,002,000 last year. In the same period. United states production rose from 01,723,000 to 95,371,000 metric tons.

Britain's output dropped back from 10,544,000 to 15,089,000 tons but still remained the largest in Europe after the Soviet Union. Weatem Germany. in third place, rose from 12,121,000 to 13,500,000 tons.

Trades, Labo

r Congress

Asks For Measures To Combat Unemployment

0'I'rAWA. March 26 - (GP)- The Trades and Labor Congress of Canada asked the government today for measures to combat un-I employment. and advance labor's interests in the social and econo- nilc fields.

Prime Minister st. Laurent, rc- plying to the annual legislative submission of the congress at ii meeting of the cabinet and TLC. officers, made no specific rom- niitment on any of the 211 points advanced by spokesmen for the 500.000-member labor body.

He indicated there will be no immediate - implementation on such congress demands as a na- tional liealtli-insurance scheme. higher pensions at a lower age, subsidized low-rental housing, a Canadian bill of rights and federal aid to primary and secondary education. g

The Prime Minister gave no re- ply to other recommendations which included these suggested by the congress as aimed at cutting down what was described as "alarming" unemployment:

1. Immediate and substantial use of the government's "on- the-shelf" program of public

works to take up the slack.

2. Cutting-off of immigration in the winter unemployment season and generally tailoring immigration to employment . opportunities.

3. Tighter restrictions on the "dumping" of cheap foreign goods. claimed by unions to have created unemployment in the needle and textile trades.

4. Rcimpositioii of price con- trol, with the congress claim- ing other govcrmnent meas- ures pointed at inflation - such as credit restrictions had resulted in unemployment. Of these four major points in

the 8.000-word brief, Mr. St. Laur- ent rtplled only to the one deni- lng with the ”shelf" of public works. He said the representa- tions would be "weighed."

At earllcr meetings with labor, the government made known its stand on some of the other points. It does not plan to shut down on winter immigration, though it. will bar the entry of workers for the textile industry while it has unemployment. It feels that there now is no dumping of foreign goods into Canada.
