Mr. VA Alnsworth said that be- cause of reconstruction at the plant. it would not. be possible to operate all three turbines. One of the two smaller ones would have to be left idle as arrangements were made to move it to a new lo- cation to make room for the larger machine. However. the repairs made to the large turbine should make it work more satisfactorily and came fewer temporary power failures.

Hundreds 0i Officials In Line Hero For Boost In Salaries This Year

OTTAWA, Feb. d -- (Special) — Several hundred Federal civil ser- vants in Prince Edward Island are in lino for salary increases this year. The Guardian lea-med today from the Civil service Commission.

Action of Finance Minister Doug- las Abbott in lifting the wartime ban on reclassiflcations automat- ically makes both individual civil servants and group; engaged in sinilar work eligible for reclassif- ication and upward salary revis- ion, Commission officials said.

1pm number of Federal civil servants in Prince Edward Island has dropped from the wartime peak of 1.000 to approximately 700, and of these between 400 and 500 come within the temrs of Mr. Abbott! new "unfreezing" order. Prior to obtaLuing increases. civil servants must be recommended for reclass- ification by their branch treads and subsequently by deputy ministers of departments. The order does not apply to temporary or seasonal government employees.

“The majority of civil servants in Prince Edward Island." the Civil Service Commision secretary said. “are in the Post Office, Ag- riculture and National Rcvenue Departments. with smaller num- hers in Public Works and Fisher- ies. Those affected will be chiefly in the $2.100 l0 $4.000 a year cate- gories who have not received either the benefits afforded the lower in- come grades or those previously accorded to technical scientific personnel."

Machinery for reclassification of Dominion civil servants all across the country is ready to go into ac- tion. he added. and reclassifica- llons, ‘will be put through as specdw lly a; cases can be reviewed by the staff. Increase; through reclassif- icatlons and "unit surveys" are cs5 pected to be more than sufficient to meet the rising cost of lying.

The Ministry of Fuel suspended coal loadings on ships leaving northwest. ports for foreign destin- ations, cuttl off Ireland from its industrial uel.

Fifty-one coal ships braved u North Sea gale to bring 100,000 tons of coal to fuel-starved indust- ries along Britsirrs east coast. but: 26 others still were immobilized lrl South Wales and northeast ports. The South Metropolttltm Gas Company. second largest in thd London area. reduced pressure :5 per cent because of the con]. famine. .

In addition. more factories were closing and railways were virtually embugoing all freight except coal. At least two Canada-bound ships -the liners vasconia. and Valacia. ware affected by the btmkering ban. Officials hoped the ships would sail as scheduled next week but dockside reports said coal from Valacia was being shifted to the Vasconia, apparently with the hope of getting at least one of the ships away.

The Cabinet is believed to be considering an emergency plan for the distribution of what meagre stocks are available. giving first esll to power undertakings until the ‘weather improves and enables more stocks to be moved from pl‘- heads.
