(Canadian Press)

HALIFAX, Sept. Iii-This cea- port city tonight counted among her major conflagrations, the loss of historic "Pier Two" with read- ily estimated damage of at least $1,000,000.

Resin: more than l0 hour: after its discovery, the mysterious blue late tonight was still sweeping over the shattered ruins. The flames, however, were confined within the tumbled walls and there was no danger to neighboring frame pig" where shipping schedules were continued. Only one fireman was seriously injured when he fell from an upper-level loading platform, but two others, overcome by smoke, were out of the battle for a short | time.

The entire building and its valu. able contents, much of which had just been unloaded, were destroyed.

(Canadian Press)

QUEBEC, Sept. 19.—Eleven coal companies, charged following a. Do- minion Government inquiry with forming a combine to support coal prices, today pleaded not guilty and elected to be tried by a judge with- out a jury. Making a decision on a number oi applications for separate trials, Mr. Justice Laeiberie ruled they would be tried in two groups.

The groups are divided according to the times at which they are al- leged to have entered into the com- bine. Six are claimed by the Crown to have joined in price agreements prior to 1990, the remaining five later.

Louis St. Laurent, representing the Quebec Attorney General said he was prepared to bring trial of the group of six tomorrow. Defence counsel indicated they would ask for a, postponement at 096M118 0f court, however.

Oct. 1 Is Date Named - Increased Costs Will Follow High Wages, Claim.

(By James P. Salvage, Associated Press Staff Writer)

WASHINGTON, Sept. iii-The beginning of a. country-wide “buy now" movement to support the greater pl duction and sales costs under the recovery programme has been set tentatively for October 1 by Hugh S. Johnson.

1t was disclosed today the Sep- tember 2i. date originally fixed for starting the campaign to stimulate buying under the blue eagle had been pushed back a few days by the prolonged negotiations for a bituminous coal code.

Plane Made

Dozens of plans have been laid before officials, involving generally suggestion: that various localities be asked to assume a. certain quota of purchases over a. given period. One and all, these have been dis- carded, it was said, and Johnson will go before the country with a straight-forward appeal to buy un- der the blue eagle;

‘Eng administration has reiterat- ed that increased costs would be inevitable to meet the higher pay- rolls and has sought to stimulate buying at present prices by warri- iing of higher ones to come.

CHARLESTON, s. 0., Sept. 1s- Three and a. half days behind schedule, the Mallory passenger liner Henry R. Mallory arrived in Charleston today, having conquer- ed one of the worst hurricanes to sweep the Atlantic seaboard.

Several of the 52 passengers were bruised and her cargo was dam- aged by water. The ship, out of New York, sailed tonight for Jack- sonville.

For 30 hours the Mallory was in

the thick of the storm, beginning at 10 am. Friday off Capo Hatter- as. Captain E. E. Woods said he headed out to sea in an eiiort to escape the worst of the blow but failed. Only 20 miles offshore when the storm began, the ship was 800 miles at sea when steed-age was re- gained. "It was the only storm I ever saw thta it was impossible to get out o: once you were in it," he said. “I was never in one for such a long time before."

Dr, W. D. Forrest, Chairman of the Board, said the matter had not been brought to the attention o! the Board. The death rate, he agreed, was "slightly higher," but he did not consider it unusual.
