BY II. E. FREEMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer

HALIFAX, Oct. 13-—(CP) — A "combine" 0f three companies con- trolled the price of coal in Halifax, Andrew Matthews of the Matthews Coal Company, Halifax retailers, told the Royal commission investi- gating anthracite marketing con- ditions here today.

Testifying before Commissioner Dr. H. M. Tory, Matthews stated:

"I say without fear ofdoubt, a. combine exists in Halifax. Three 0f the largest firms, engaged in a combination of wholesale and re- tail trade, have some sort of an understanding between them."

Asked if he could give proof of the statement, Matthews claimed

Large and Shatford‘ said that aside from, the situation existing in regard to Nova Scotla soft coal, they had no fault to find with ‘the system in Halifax. although they felt there should be a larger price-spread for the retailer. Matthews said Nova Scotla soft coal was "Just as good as British products" but that small dealers were not able to handle it. Archi- bald testified British coal was of a higher quality than the Nova Scotla. product. although they were used about equally in Halifax. Dr. Tory said T. W. Cameron of the Dominion Coal C0., would testify regarding the selling system of his company at the final session here tomorrow before the Commission adjourned to Saint John, N.B.

Gaudet made the presentation of a well filled purse. Father McNicll thanked the parishioners for their kindness and co-operation at all times, and expressed the hope that they would continue to carry on their good work.

Reverend J. D. McNiell, Tignish.

Rev. Father McNcill:

Autumn, with its failing verdurc, its falling leaves and its dying veg- etation, is the season of sadness, and it seems in strange consisten- ey with the seasonal attribute that we are today constrained to add an extra tinge of sadness to the occasion in addressing to you these parting words.

Four short years ago you came to this parish-not as a stranger, for the ambassador of Christ is never a. stranger in the Catholic fold-but rather as one whose vig- lience as a shepherd was unknown to the flock. whose zeal for the salvation of souls was yet to be demonstrated, and whose untiring energy and devotion to the cause of Holy Mother Church was then a matter of prophecy only.

The years have passed, your term of probation has marinated, and how faithfully and well you have discharged the duties incident to your Divine calling is written in- delibly in the record of service YOK! leave wth us todfly- 'Tls only now we realize in full measure how zealously you have worked with- ancl for-us, how unstintfngly you have given of your labour and love in our behalf, how Y0" hlWe 88¢- rliioed even health and strength to minister to our temporal Ind spir- itual needs, snd. finally, how much we shall miss Y0"-

ym- a moment we may be per- mitted to forget our sorrow to re- m“ m the promotion which you have so richly merited and to con- sole ourselves with the more char- itable reflection that our loss is anotherls gain, that neither time nor distance shall sever the ties that bind you in loving memory to the hearts of our people. end that we may, from time to time, look forward to your visit! lvmvnill- l“ an n. renewal and strengthening of those ties.

As mere words fail to adequately express ourvfeclings on this sad oc- cssion, we ask you to accept the gift we offer, not as a Just measure ‘of our sppreclati , but rather as the material symbol of the love and respect which may find no fitting expression in human value!-

And as we falter o'er the pming word-farewelb-our silent and un- {ted prayer shall ascend to the heavenly throne "God Bless Father McNeil]. Guide him ever, unerring

Under terms of the agreement, effective today, the three dominant financial powrs pledged themselves to sell gold only to each other—or to any nation which subsequently may become a party to the accord. This was interpreted in some quarters as polite notice that n0 government would have access to the huge Anglo-hanoo-Amerlcan gold supply until it fell in step with their p‘nn for currency stabiliza- tion. ‘

The three nation's control of the world's bull'on stocks was charac- terized by administration econom- ists as "unqurstfonrd."
