BIG SHOW

The Association of For Indus- tries of Milwaukee, and the Arm— eriian Mink Rancers Asociaitions staged a tremendous show at the Wisconsin State Fair during Aug—

: ust 21 to 24. In each 45Mute

show, nine models displayed 40 mink, the exact color of the gar- ment thé model was wearing, and would follow her down the 60 foot runway.

There were 14 live mink, each a different color to match the coats. Abe Ugent, president of the. Association of Fur I-ndustiTes of Milwaukee, stated that many people at the show did not know that the colors in mink garments were natural until they saw the live mink.

These models and live mink also appeared 011 television and radio.

It is a little more than 10 years ago that Sweden and Finland be- came really interested in the pro- duction of mink. Norway and Denmark had been breeding them on a small scale . for several years previously, and all dour had been broadens of silver fox and its mutations, with Norway on a quite Large scale, and the others on a lesser scale.

Now we note that J.W. Conn, reporting from Copenhagen, Den- mark, to “Women’s Wear Daily” states that one and thine-quarter million mink will be ottered for sale at Scandinavian auctions. The figures quoted are trom 10 to 15 percent higher than for last beason.

» MINK INCREASE

Ivor Theme, a director of the Fur Breeders Association of Nor- way, states that the increase in Norwegian offerings of mink will be mostly in standards and the “blue” group, and this general- ly reflects the trend throughout Scandanavia. Mr. Thomc repor- ted 100 percent clearance of last season‘s mink. He said more than half the collection went to Am- erican buyers who concentrated on commercial tyrpes.

He stated that the Norwegian Fur Auction Company will also in: the coming season. also a few thousand sihci' fox. He said there was 1041 percent clearance of blue tax last season. with between 00

and 90 percent going to the ted States. _

He started that quality had been improved by drastic clearing out of the poorer strains of fox, and that deﬁnite edition-ts will be made to keep on the quality, Our comment to Norway’s pmduct-ion of to: is that they can survive and make what they consider a condmtable living raising loxes because they have access to cheap supplies of feed, and labor costs are about one-half what they would be in this country.

And here’sa word tram Dave Loftma-n, New York representa- tive of. the Great Lakes Mink As- Wtiting in the August issue of the “American F 111- Breeder", Mr. Inflfman states: “Not only are we increasing pro- duction beyond the country’s ca- pacity to absorb mink, we are also increasing the percentage of pelts, and slowa under- mining the entire price authentic. Reports houn,various parts of the nation show indication of 10 to 15 percent increase again this season.”

He points out that to dispose of this extra crop, is important that retail activity will be in high gear the next few months.

Warn Against Radioactive Waste In Sea =

' GENEVA (Reuters) —- Russian scientists Thursday warned the West that dumping radioactive waste in the depths of the ocean constitutes a “real menace in the very near future."

Both American and British delegations at the atoms-afor- ‘cace conference here have said their countries have disposed of small quantities of waste in the oceans.

A Russian scientific paper said ocean dumping is based on the incorrect assumption that water in deep sea depressions is devoid of currents.

RAPID MIXING

But, it said:

“The mixing of waters in the (deep sea) trench is fairly rapid, so that the radioactive waste compounds (1 u m p e d into the trench and disolved will be in- evitably broughtlto the upper lay- ers of the ocean, exploited by man, where sooner or later they will be absorbed by vegetable and animal organisms, fishes and mammals.” v

Dr. B. H. Ketchum of the United States delegation said he understood the U.S. was dumping some “caskets” of radioactive materials in deep waters in the Pacific off San Francisco and in the Atlantic southeast of New

While most disputes revolve around claims for higher wages, there is no general pattern. But in the eyes of some observers, the situation is serious. Govern- ments, from municipal to federal levels, are involved and may get embroiled deeper._

A Cross-Canada survey shows:

011 a national level, eight con- tract disputes iuv~lving 18 unions, the major railways and at least $60,000,000 remain unsettled amid strike vote preparations that could lead to a nationwide tie-up of rail services this winter.

ASK PAY INCREASE

The stnilre poll was ordered for 130,000 non - operating railway workers after the railways turned to Ottawa for higher freight rates to meet any future wage bike. The 15 “non-op" unions are will- ing to‘settle f0r 14-ceuts-an-hour. but the railways contend they can not pay any increase until they get more money.

At this point in the 10-month squabble, three other railway un- ions—bargaining for more than 25,000 engineers, trainmen and firemen—began tol get restive. Their negotiations for wage boosts from 18 to 25 per cent had been suspended, largely until the non- ops case had been solved. But the trainmen said they couldn’t wait any longer and have de- manded their talks be reopened immediately. The firemen — and perhaps the engineers—are ex- pected to tollow suit.

shipping has been tied up at five points by a strike of the Inter- national L o n g shoremen's and Warehousemen‘s Union, now in its thde week. Prince Rupert longshoremen have walked off their jobs in sympathy. _

The union is seeking a 24-per- cent wage increase, but says the main issue is a better pension plan for employees.

The British Columbia Shipping Federation contends shipowners can’t afford increased costs.

Elsewhere i-n Canada, shipping and shipyards are also hit by la- bor troubles.

At Lab-non, Que, the big Davie Shipbuilding Ya-nd's are idle fol- lowing a work stoppage almost four weeks ago by 2,000 workers who want higher pay—about 35 cents an hour—and a shorter work‘week. The shipyard opposes any increase, saying it would add $2,000,000 to costs and price the yard out of competitive bidding. FACE BOYCOT'I‘

At St. John’s, Nfld., the 900- member Longshoremen’s Protec- tive Union, an independent group,

faces a boycott ordered by the

St. John‘s Employers Association over automation arguments.

The strike of 8,000 workers at the Hamilton, plant of the Steel Company of Canada has already cost about $3,000,000 in lost wages. The United Steelworkers of Almer- ica wants beneﬁts worth ﬂuent:- an-hour, including an unspecified general wage increase.

The compan , a major steel producer, offered five cents and said its workers already make about $2.30 an‘ hour with over- time, shift premiums and incen- tive bonuses. Talks are cont-inu- i-ngfon non - monetary contract items.

NICKEL TROUBLES

The nickel industry is caught labor difﬁculties, too.

A conciliation board majority

report has rejected a request by the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers for a lO-per-cent wage increase for 14,- 000 workers at the International Nickel Company operations at $11de and Port Colborne, Out.

As a result, the union warned a strike in the two plants is prob— able. At the same time, it opened contract talks with the nearby Falcoulbridge Nickel Mines, he world’s second largest nickel pro- ducer. The contract expires Fri- day, but negotiations would prob- ably continue longer than that.

Violence has punctuated the long - standing deadlock between 400 members of the Nova Scotia Quarryworkers’ Union and the American-owned Canadian _ Gyp- sum Company near Windsor, N.S. Higher wages, a 40-hour week and union security are the, major is- sues. During the 10-month dis- pute'eggs, melts and rotten veg- etables have been hurled at com- pany vehicles and a dynamite ex— plosion a few-weeks ago caused $12,000 damage to a $90,000 power shovel.

Meanwhile, 0 mt ario"; beer strike appeared to be approaching a possible settlement later this week. Brewery officials are to join negotiations between the United Brewery Workers of Amer- ica and the industry’s distributing cooperative, Brewers’ Warehous- ing Lhnited.

Taverns and liquor stores in Nova Scotia were almost desert- dry of beer, too, as 150 workers continue their wage battle with two commonly-owned breweries,

7A. Keith and Son Bid, and Oland

and Son Ltd., supplying almost half of the local beer;

The dispute revolves around a- union demand for 30 cents an hour against a conciliation board proposal for 15 cents.

U.Sg Ceylon Ambassador Resigns Post

NEWPORT, ‘ RI. (Am-Presi- gent Eisenhower accepted Thurs-

Iay the resignation of Maxwell H. Gluck as ambassador to Ceylon, attentive about Oct. 1.

At the time of his appointmwnt last summer, Gluck was the centre of a teapot tempest over not. knowing the name of Cey- lon’s premier.

In a letter to the president, made public at ‘ ’5 WI- cation headquarters here, ,Gluck asked'to be relieved because of personal considerations. 1 Eisenhower in a letter to Gluck said "the warm personal interest

Ceylon has won {host of friends tor your country and yourself." Glnck, 58, was confirmed to the post in J une, 1957 by the Senate. Later Senator William. J.’ Ful- bright (Dem. Ark), disclosed that art a private committee heal- ing Gluck had been unable to name the prime ministers of either Ceylon or India. WOULD STUDY MEN

Because of the incident, the Senate announced public hearings would be held thereafter on the qualifications of foreign service appointees.

,Gluck‘s own explanation was that he had known the names all along (Solomon Bandaranai‘ke of Ceylon and Jawsharlsl Nehru of indie) but had hesitated to pro- nounce them. '

Christmas Tree

Exports Climb

Canada’s Christmas tree iinlus- . try chalked up some $5.4 million ,. worth of export business last year reports “Foreign Trade” in the: latest issue. The biggest sales were made to the United. States, which usually takes 99 per cent of our foreilgln shipmuts. Smal- lrr amounts went to Mexico, Ven- ezuela, Panama, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Cuba. ,

Christmas trees come mainly from hundreds of small produc- ers. many of whom look on the' business only as an incidenatl means of making a living. But the scene is changing somewhat. Big companies have been formed to buy trees from the dormers for extensive marketing, and other ﬁrms are being established to grow. harvest and market Christ- mas trees on a large scale.

The industry’s success in ex- port has been the biggest sti- mulus to its growth in the past few years. Since 1949. ﬂoreign sales have risen from 7.4 mil- lion to 12.3 million trees. About 30 per cent of the trees for ex- port come from Nova Scotia and 25 per cent from Quebec.
