Alt the opening fall meeting of the Summerslde Board o! ‘rrada held lut night in the Civic Bulld- ing Mr. T. J. Inman of the agri- culture committee brought to the attention c! the members that in.- dlostione are that there will be s. bumper crop of potatoes this year ln the Province andthalt appar- ently the trend is toward lower prices this coining autumn. He felt that a move should be made new to have the Agriculture Pritaee Support Board at Ottawa give a floor price on potatoes to provide the producer with atleasc the cost of production. Mr. In.- man pointed out that if e floor price is provided potatoes can be marketed in an orderly manner and without sacrifice. It was de- cided otter some discussion by the Board that the following resolu- tion be sent to the chairman of the Prices Support Board, Fed- eral representatives, theY Prime

Minister and to the Maritime Boards: “Whereas present indications

are that potatoes may be in slow demand this autumn which will naturally lower the price possibly below the cost of production. and whereas the Agriculture Prices Support Board operated by the Federal Government has been granted s renewed term of office. and whereas the wheat grower; in Canada are guaranteed a floor price for their wheat. Therefore resolved that this Sumtnerside Board o! Trade request our fed- eral representatives to endeavor to secure a. floor price for Can- adian grown potatoes that will at least guarantee the farmer the cost of production. and further resolved that we ask the other Boards of Trade m cooperate in this request."

The resolution was moved by Mr. T. J. Inman and seconded by Mr. Alan Holman.

On motion of Mr. Donald Baker it was unanimously agreed that a letter of appreciation be sent to the authorities who were respons- ible for having the deck 0f the car ferry plunked for the conven- ience of trucks.

The president, Mr. T. E. Hickey. and past president Mr. L. R. Allen were appointed as delegates to alt- tend the annual meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade at Corn- wallis Inn, Kentville, N.S., on Sep-

‘Truckers’ Strike ls Threat To New York

I

NiEW YORK, Selpt. 2—(AP)—A truckers’ walkout which threatens the city's economic machinery spread to other drivers today and. increased food prices were pre- diqted.

Federal, state and city mediat- ors talked with union and em- ployer groups but. no immediate prospect of a settlement was held cut.

Mayor William O‘Dw'_ver was not hopeful of a quick end of the tie- up.

The New York Retail Appetiz- ers Association said "if the strike is not settled shortly, it. may very well cause the inflationary spiral in food prices to skyrocket even further because of the law of sup- ply and demand."

The Association represents 250 retail food outlets.

The stoppage began Wednesday when about 9-500 members of local 807 of the Intemallonal Brother- hood of Teamsters lA.F.L.) quit after rejecting a ilcw contract negotiated by their officers.

There was no immediate short- age of food in the stores and few New Yorkers felt directly the pinch of the stoppage. Store stocks were estimated as ample for two or three weeks.

O‘Dwyer won an BSTBOXMM from the Union Wednesday that it would continue to transport food. perishable items. medicines, building supplies and other vitel commodities.

However, emburgo on much rail- xcsd freight destined for the city wee imposed Wednesday.

23 Unions Oppose Current Policy of T.L. 0. Executive

By JOHN LIANC

OTTAWA, Sept. 2—-(OP)-—1-Iiglt offlcers of 23 international unions - in the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, revolting against Con- gress tolerance of Communists in its ranks, today set up a commit- tee pledged to clean Reds out of that 370,000-man body.

Unions estimated at having a. massed strength of between 150,- 000 and 175.000 members threw their weight into a drive not only to rid the TLC. oi’ Reds. but also to bar from office anyone who "plays ball‘ tivith Communists.

The move was a direct rebel- lion against current policies of the Congress executive-particu- larly its backing of the Canadian Seamexfs Union. alleged to be led by Reds-mndit was seen, too, as a threat to the presidency of Percy Bengough.

Mr. Bengough later said he didnt take the committee "very seriously" and thought its mem- bers were “meslnerizing” them- selves into delusions about their impmiance. " lie doubted that the annual con- vention of the T.L.C. next month would banish the CS1}. in favor Seafarers’ International. Union which the committee went. on record as supporting.

spokesmen for the revolting unions did not deny that Ben- gough would be opposed by them

Maine Woman ls injured At lieSable

Mrs. James Beck of Bangor, Maine. was taken to the Char- lottetown Hospital late yesterday afternoon in the Outcllfle Funeral Home ambulance. as the result of a car accident near DeSable bridge about three o'clock yester- day afternoon.

The accident occurred when the car which Mr. Beck was driving, accompanied by his wife and son Thomas. went out of control and crashed into the ditch near the approach to- DeSable bridge.

Although Mr. Beck and his son were only badly shaken up, Mrs. Beck received severe cuts and bruises but the exact extent of her injuries could not be learned last night.

Dr. N. R. Bovyer. Crapaud, who was called to the scene of the ac- cident. administered first aid to Mrs. Beck. The Culcllffe ambul- ance, which by mere chance ar- rived at the place of the accident shortly after it occurred, took the injured lvoman to the City Hos- pttal.

Mr. and Mrs. Beck and their son have been holidaying for the slimmer at a cottage at Argyle Shore.

IAFVS NEGRO NEWSPAPER.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2—-(AP)— "Ilhe New York Age, one of the oldest Negro newspapers in the United States. has been purchas- ed by an Englishman who mys he wants to "improve the lot of the Negro in particular and of minority groups in general." The buyer is Richard Bourne-Vantteck of London, who said today his

wife is of Negro parentage.

The Provincial Government in conjunction With the Federal Gov- ernment and the Fisheries Re- search Board. is continuing in ex- periment in improved methods of fishing in the coastal waters of the Province that have not been tried here before.

At. Rustico a long lining ex- periment with “flylng sets" has been arranged to be run in com- parison with the present “under- running" method. Similar experi- ments are being carried out at Tignisl-i. and Souris.

Earlier this summer the Danish aelniug method was introduced. experimentally, at both extremit- ies of the Province. Fisheries Min- ister Muyhew gained first hand knowledge of this type of fishing when he made a trip to Scuris on a recent visit to the Province.

The long lining method is oper- ated by a compact motor driven ulincslt and gives a much greater coverage of a. fishing area. saves time and lessens the labor- ious task of dralvltlg in lines by hand.

Mir. J A Rodd. formerly of the Federal Fisheries Service, is co- ordinating the experimental work. Stress. alt present, is being laid on assisting fishermen in installing and operating experimental equip- ment. The methods used are not entirely new but have been found successful in the where. It. ls hoped to determine one that could be used to advnnt- age by the ils-ltcrmen iterc, both from the standpoint of economy and rcsults obtained.
