OTTAWA. Dec. 28 — (CP) — Canada is in good shape for coal supplies and will get through the

winter b complete and prolonged strike of

United States coal-diggers.

The posible Jan. 1 walkout of Iohn L. Lewis’ could cause some curtailment of Industrial activity after I siderable ources said. but it would have

little effect on the coal bins of Canada's householders.

This reaction followed an sn- nouncement from the Canadian National Railways that it was re- ducing coal-operated passenger- train service 2_5 per cent because of depletion of coal reserva.

Officials here viewed the C.N. R. action — effective Jan. 9 -- as a precautionary one. Canada's other major line, the Canadian Pacific Railway, was maintaining full service with "satisfactory" stocks.

Except for an unlikely tie-up of U. S. anthracite production, of- ficials said, there should be no concern about domestic supplies.

Most favorably situated are tlhe Marilimcs and the West. Wm‘ their own production.

With will- ing helpers he distributed the many gifts surrounding the tree and in his usual fashion remem- bered everyone. Candy, oranges. apples, etc., donated by generous business firms in Charlottetown added to the enjoyment and were much appreciated. The Christ- mas dinner on Sunday included turkey, cranberry sauce and ice cream as the main features. ‘Ilhe tables were most attractive with Christmas napkins and tablecloths. fall red candles and individual red candy baskets added to the da- coraiion.

llllil Gross Revenues Highest 0n Record

lit Ls estimated that the gmss revenues of the Canadian NMIOIIII Railways fbr the past trwclve months will establish a. record-high total o! M90 millions. an increase of $8 millions over 194B. states Mr. R. C. Vaughan. O.M.G.. retiring chairman and president of the Canadian National Railways. However, the shrinking margin between revenues and eitpenses continues to cause considerable anxiety. Operating expenses, with higher labour costs and an in- creased general price index for materials and supplies, climbed to $480 millions by the close of the year_ an increase of $16 millions over 1916.

The opera/ting surplus of ap- proximately $19 millions will be the lowest since 1938. and after provision for interest due on sec- urities held by the public and ow- ing to the government, payment of taxes equipment. rents and similar c arges, the year will end with an income deficit estimated at $45 millions

When the final figures for the year 1949 are available. they are expected to show that the Canad- ian National Railways moved T’! million revenue tons of freight This is approximately ten percent less than in 1948, but the average length of haul was greater and the estimated reduction 1n freight traffic. measured in revenue ton miles was 8 3 percent. Substant- ially smaller loadings are indicated

for coal, pulpvwood. lumlber, wood-,

pulp, paper and livestock. But. grain, ores and concentrates and petroleum products, the latter re- flecting the importance of the new oll fields were higher than in the preceedlng twelve months.

Approximately nineteen million revenue passengers were carried in the current year, a decrease of one million from the previous years total.

Relief Inadequate

Inadequate relief from the con- tinuous rise in operating costs was obtained during the year by the granting of higher rates in both freight and passenger services. The mounting income deficits re- ported by the System ln the past three years. however, lndicatethal revenues from this source were inadequate. The interim increase of eight percent granted on Sep- tmilber 24th. and madc effective on October 11th, with certain ex- ceptions. represents an average in- crease of 5.87 percent. Thc cumulative percentage increase in freight rates on domestic traffic authorized by the Board of Trans- port Commissioners during the years 1048 and i949 is 25.1 percent. The additional revenue resulting from the increase of 8 percent made in September, for the re- lmainder of the ywar i949, is cs- itimated at $2,150,000.
