‘Expect Strong Demand For Lumbar

MONCPON. N. 8., Dec. 12-(0?) --Belief that the demand for Maritime lumber would continue ut a high level was expressed to- day at a. meeting of tho New Brunswick Retail Lumber Dealers Association. Opinion was expressed that export restrictions on low- grsda shingles should be relaxed. thereby permitting shipment of surplus quantities that have sc- curnulated in New Brunswick.

It was decided to hold l.

next year.

A review of the situation show- ed lumber to be in good supply. Asphalt and native cedar shingles also were in adequate supply and the demand was good. One of the drawbacks to expanded home was a short supply of cement and wall- bosrd. with no indication of im- provement in i948.

On the brighter side of the pic- ture was hardwood flooring. Out.- put has increased and was ex- pected to be maintained through the winter months.

I! HAROLD W. WARD

WABQIINGION, Dec. l2-(AP)_. John L. Lewis today marched his 600.000 United Mina Workers out of the American Federation of Labor for the second time, in a bitter row stemming from his re- funl to sign s non-Communist aflidavit.

Lewis notified A. F. L. president William Green o! the new split with this roughly scrawled note:

"Green. A.F.L.—We disafliliate

/47."

He had assailed A.F.L. leaders as “intellectually fat. and stately asses" because they decided to comply with the Taft-Hartley Act requiring Union officers to swear they are not Communists.

They did this so their Unions could have access to the facilities of the National Labor Relations Board. Lewis. though he is no Communist, would have nothing to do with the Act.

The UM.W., which had been in the A.l='.L. since its founding in 1890, first withdrew in the great split of labor led by Lewis in 1936. Lewis helped form the Con- grass of Industrial Organizations to organize industrial unions over the hot objection of the Old line craft unionists of the A. F. L.

The U. M. W. boss fell out with the late President Franklin D Roosevelt prior to the i940 elec- tions and stepped down from the 0. I. O. presidency because Roose- velt won re-clectlon to the White House. Within two years he was out of the, 0.1.0,- altogether and uutil- January; I940, he played a lona hand.

However, he and Green event- ually healed their old wounds. William L. (Big Bill) l-Iutcheson. carpenters’ boss with whom Lewis swapped punches at the 1935 AF L. convention paved the way for return "o! the minors to the Fed- eration in i046.

Their withdrawal today cuts the A.F.L.'s claimed membership to around 7.000.000 and mares the AT‘. L. and 0.1.0. closer to the aims size.

The A EL. has been using a "rive of about 7.600000 end the 0 I. O. “more than 6.000000.“

With "Big John" again walking alone, organured labor is more d!» united than ever-st s time when msnv labor ie~ders have been cali- ing for more unity."

Conditions Arc Viewed With “lliisgivings”

OTTAWA. Dec. l2—(CP)-lm- mediate Federal action to rectify several grievances affecting Mari- tirna ports was asked of ‘Transport Minister Chevrier today by a Mar- itime delegation which declared the protested conditions were causing "alarm and misgiving."

The delegation, heade- by the mayors of l-ialifax and S int John. NB. sought investigation and the removal of "wrongs" to the Mar- itimes in:

1. The recent reduction on certain railway rates to Port- land, Mo. from various points in Ontario and Quebec. Port- land is an ocean traffic com- petitor of Halifax and Saint John.

2. The shipment to Portland of 1.000.000 bushels of Canad- ian rye, to be transported to France by ships purchased from Canada, while “elevators remain empty at Eastern Can- adian ports."

3. The withdrawal of the Moore-MacCormack steamship Line from the Maritime ports to Portland. This withdrawal coincided with the announce- ment of‘ the new lowered rates to Portland.

4. The “past delays in the handling of traffic to Maritime ports in connection ivith ship- ping."

"These developments have either been prejudicial to Maritime ports or will result in detriment and unemployment," declared iha 7,- ODO-word brief read to the ‘Trans- port Minister by Rand H. Mathe- scn, manager of. the Maritime ‘Transportation Commission.

At the end ol the interview "lrehlfln prlvatc...m¢mbers of. the delegation reported the Minister had told them he would investigate their com- plaints but that. so far as the freight-rate question was con- cerned. it was: matter forthe Board of Transport Commis-
