.U.K. Averts Rail Strike

ernment beat down a parliamen- tary censure move on the London

us strike Thursday night a few hours after it intervened in a threatened walkout on the nation- alized railways.

A move by the opposition Labor party to censure the government in the bus strike was defeated 320 to 253, a 67-vote government ma-

Earlier, government interven- tion in the rail dispute caused an immediate postponement of a de- cision on whether to call a 500,- 000-worker strike next week.

Labor Minister Iain Macleod asked chiefs of the three railway unions and Sir Brian Robertson, head of the lines, to meet with him today. The unions decided to accept the invitation and postpone their decision on striking until they learned the minister’s views.

The Labor party pushed its mo- tion to censure the government for its handling of the bus dispute and accused the govesnment of wanting a '‘showdown’’ with the unions.

Prime Minister Macmillan de- nied this. adding he was “certain" the Labor movement was “far too sensible" to challenge the government.

Macmillan said British products must compeiie in world markets and called for general understand- ing that “to pay ouselves more

The death occurred shortly after midnight at his home. 103 North River Road of Mr. Alfred Pickard. one of Charlottctown’s most successful businessmen.

Almost fifty-eight years ago Mr. Pickard started a coal busi-

a_ modest beginning expanded his business interests to include a large sales outlet for farm machinery and heavy duty con-. struction equipment. .

Thri-ft and honesty were the

rented a small porton of the wharf from Col. A. G. Peake toi begin his coal business. .

In spite of pessimistic pre- dictions of competitors who told! him _he would be out of business!‘ within a year, Mr. Pickard ad- vanced rapidly so that 12 years

after starting. he purchased the?

entire wharf from Colonel

Peake.

His «financial ability led to his being selected as_a member of i the Board of Governors of the: Bank of Canada.

Teacher Students May Now GetUpTo$8OOAssistance

Students of grade eleven who are desirous of continuing to grade XII with the intention of ob- tainirig a firstc lass teacher's li- cense through the Nornial Train- ing course at Prince of Wales College may next year and there- after obtain a loan of $300 from the Provincial Government as as- sistance to them in taking-the course.

This was announced yesterday by Hon. Keir Clark, Minister of Education who stated that the new loan is not in any way affect- ed by’the existing $500 which is made available to teacher train- ing students on the basis of two fifths grant and three fifths loan. ON EQUAL BASIS

The new loan is intended for; students who are not within thej areas served by ‘the senior high* schools of the Province.

Mr. Clark explained that sincei grade XII was made the mini-l mum academic standard for those seeking teachers‘ licenses, some of the rural parents unable to take advantage of the advanc- ed courses offered by the senior‘ high schools have intimated that their children have been put at a 3 disadvantage. “This new loan is,

Great Future Forecast For

By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor

TORONTO (CPl—A great fu- ture for the coal industry, both in Canada and the United States, was p r e d i c te d Thursday by Thomas Kennedy, vice-president of the United Mine Workers of ‘America. in an address to the Canadian Progress Club.

The following reasons were given by Mr. Kennedy in support of his prediction:

Increase in population: expan- sion‘ of industry; increased coal consumption by electric - energy industries; increased use of coal in the chemical industry: the “un- certainty of gas and oil supplies ‘and the cost factor involved in these fuels:" and the possibility of increased export.

“Last but not least, coal in my judgment will continue to be the basic industry for supplying the heat, power and energy needs of North America."

Mr. Kennedy addressed a meet- ing which featured the Bitumin- ous Coal Institute of Canada, an organization formed by Ontario /Coal Wholesalers in -January, 1957.

SEE HUGE DEMAND Mr. Kennedy said despite re-

duced production in 1957 and in 1953 to date. “experts in the fields of energy and raw materials are convinced that tremendous de- mands will be made on coal and coal technology in the yeai‘s to come. V

“The extent to which coal will be able to meet these urgent needs," he added. “will depend to an important extent on future technical accomplishments based on coal research. I

“Europe is doing more work on I this subject than we are in the, United States or Canada.Russia is probably doing more research and development work than all other countries combined.

“If we had a national or inter- national emergcncy we would be on a coal economy over night. It is, therefore, essential that mines be kept in proper order and that miners be trained to be avail- able to meet the needs of any necessity."

Quoting widely from a state-; ment by Harold J. Rose of Bitum- inous Coal Research Inc. of the United States, Mr. Kennedy made the following points:

Accelerating use of electricity, accompanying population and in- dustrial growth, will result in fur- ther huge increases in demand

‘Canadian Coal Industry

for electricity and most of I"... can best be provided by coal.

NO COMPETITION YET

The cost of producing nuclear power will have to be reduced to a fraction of its present cost be- fore it can compete commercially with coal in the U.S. energy mar- ket.

The a l u m in u m industry. hitherto tied to hydro - electric sources, is building three new plants near the vast coal supplies along the Ohio River, a'nd. by 1975, as much as 60 per cent of the power consumed by the U.S. aluminum i'ndusti'y may be based on coal. This. however, will de- pend on technological advances in power generation from coal.

Metallurgical operations for other non-ferrous metals offer im- portant potential use.

About 100,000,000 tons of coking

U.S. iron and steel industry and this may increase to 180,000,000 ions by 1980. ‘However, much re- search will be needed.

As reserves and production of natural gas and petroleum dimin- ish, and their prices increase ac- cordingly, huge quantities of syn- thetic pipe - line coal will be needed.

Petition Will

MONTREAL (CP) — The fire- men's union is to seek a court injunction today restraining the CPR from going ahead Sunday with. plans to begin laying off firemen from freight and yard. diesels.

A spokesman for the Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemezz (CLC) said Thursday night that a. petition for the in- junction was filed May 6 by Guy Merrill-Desau-lniers, a etitioner for the union. It is to e heard at 10:30 am. EDT today in the service court of the Superior Oourt of Montreal.

HOLDS UP SCHEME

The injunction would hold up the CPR scheme to lay off about 75 firemen until after the present working agreement expires May 31.

The spokesman said the petition asks that the CPR be restrained “from implementing on May 11, 1958, t-he new rules contained in the notices dated March 31, 1958, until Ma.y 31, 1958, termination date of the current collective agreement as amended by the memoranda of Jan. 18, 1957, and until and unless all proceedings mentioned in the industrial rela-
