Mr. J. Watson MacNaught. M.P.. Parliamentary assistant. to the Minister of Fisheries has been advised by the Federal Depart- ment of Public Works tihat a con- tract is being let to Diamond Con- struction Co. Ltd. Fredericton. N. 3.. fol repairs to the Railway Wharf at Summerside and the construction of a frostproof shed replacing the shed now on the east side of the wharf. 1t is ex- pected that construction will com- mence as soon as weather con- ditions permit after the complet- ion of the present shipping sea- son. No local firms submitted tenders on the job. The estim- ated amount of the contract is $105,000.00.

Potato exporters have been prusing for this frostproof shed for some time and Mr. Mac- Naught has been active in bring- ing the claims to the attention of the proper authorities. Shipping by water is done in the latterpart of October. November and into December at a time when it ia dangerous to store potatoes in a building that. is not frostproof. At present it ‘is necessary to find storage elsewhere near the wharf and than truck the potatoes to ‘the ships when they dock. with the new warehouse potatoes can be stored there when a ship is expected and loaded on board from the warehouse when it. arrives. This fall at least three steamers .are expected to load potatoes at ‘ Summerside. 8

‘m Killed

in Outbreaks 0f Gunfire

PARIS. Oct. fl- (AP) — The French Cabinet tonight decided in an emergency aeaaion to call up the 1948 class of soldiers who already had been discharged. and gendarme reaervists to deal with flaring vio- lence in the 18-day coal strike.

At least two miners were killed In the first outbreaks of gunfire between strikers and law enforce- ment forces today. and the list of Injured in several days of clashes mounted to 200.

The Cabinet also ordered troops to use their arms in defeding them- selves agalnst attacks. and empow- ered district governors to bar any meetings.

Therewas no immediate estimate on the number of soldiers and gen- darmes involved in the call-up.

The Interior Ministry laid the two miners were killed at Firminy. five miles southwest of St. Etienne. where miners counter-attacked the police. Thirty other persons were injured.

There also were reports of shoot- ing at three other mines, two in the St. Etienne area and at Mont- ceau-les-Mlnel. about 100 miles to the south.

The Government said it decided on the new measures-which in- clude deportailon of any foreigners taking part in the battles-because of "savage attacks" against police and soldiers.

These are launched, the Cabinet said. "by masses of men armed with fools. crowbars and other iron objects” and have caused "Import- ant losses" among troops.

The Cabinet decided that troops henceforth ‘first-will fire over the heads of attackers and then. if ne- cessary io defend themselves. they can fire on the strikers. Previously troops had been ordered not to fire. Some did today. however. for the first time since the strike be- gan Oct. 4.

Tmade it 54.000 immigrants to en- ‘fer Canada this year through hcr

eastern gateway. around 100.000 since wars end.

As the sun slipped out of the sea and" masts of the Laiigfitt ap- peared on the horizon past Thrumcap Head. stubby little tugs chugged out to meet the ship and toot Canada's first greeting to her newest. citizens.

Silently, the tugs nudged the bis‘ ship toward her berth on the half- mlle-long pier. The Langfltts en- gines were still. Mixed with the cry nf the gulls there came across we calm water the chatter of the immigrants. outlined black along the rails against. the white supec- structure of the steel-hulledtrans

On the dock stood a little lino of lotigshoremen. ready to run out the giingplank. a narrow bridge which for the immigrants signified the passage between two worlds, two ways of life. An American army colonel and the wife of one of the Langflttfs crew waited with
