MONTREAL. Aug. ‘if -— (C?) _ A freighter captain's report of a small yacht, found drifting in mid-Atlantic, crewless, digmagied and with her identifying marks scratched out, today brought a sea mystery to the port of Montreal.

Capt. Henry Purvis, skipper of the British cargo vessel Canford, told of sighting the "40-foot yacht of the slick racing type" when the Canford Montreal-bound, was five days out of Bristol Channel.

His story recalled the tale of the Nova Bcotlan sailing ship Marie Celeste discovered in the Atlantic west of Gibraltar in 1872.

(By II. L, Jones)

LONDON, Aug. 11—-(CP)—Be- hind the doors of Britain's Labor Ministry these days there is prob- ably more activity than in any other office in busy Whitehall.

At a time when all-out produc- tion is a vital necessity for Bri- tain's economy, the Labor Minister is concerned by continued out- breaks of labor unrest.

During the last few weeks, fast- talking Isancs has uneasily watch- ed these developments in the changing British labor picture:

1, The clnlms of railway workers for a wage increase nre still unsettled and new "iro slow" moves are afoot.

2. London's great docks, just buck to normal after the un- official strike which cost mil- lions of pounds, are again threatened by trouble.

3. The pitwlnders who oper- ate cool-mine elevators are threatening a strike that could upset Britain's already slump-

ing coal production, ‘

4. Fresh moves are being made to obtain a "new deal" regarding pay and security for 130.000 temporary civil ser- vants. '
