(By The Canadian Press)

HALJEAX, Jan. N-A tin-gl- rrled general strike among Mari- time coal miners would, if car‘ tied out. black out towns in Cumberland County depending on steam-generated electricity. N. T. Avard. Amherst, N. 8., president and director of Canada Electric Company. told the Nova Scotia Public Utilities Board Saturday.

“If the strike in the coal mines comes about it will create a ser- ious situation," Mr. Avard told the Board when he appeared at‘ a routine hearing.

(A report Saturday from Ottawa after a series of meetings which failed to settle the wage dispute between the United Mine Work- ers (C.C.L.) district 28 and Do- minion Steel and Coal Corporat- ion aaicl the Union was standing by a "no contract-no work" at- liiudn. The Union's contract with Maritime coal operators expires Jan. 31.)

The public utility chief said his company's generating plant at hfaccan, N.S.. had only enough coal to operate for a week at most.

Some Centres Safe’

Meanwhile, o t h e r" generating points in the Provinces mainland indicated they would be able to hold out through a possible gen- eral coal strike.

J. B. Hycs. general manager of Nova Bcotia Light and Power Company. which supplies tile Halifax area said that because water stocks behind company dams were hilgh, there ‘was little likelihood of hardship in the area where only one filth of tile elec- tric power is steam-generated,

The steam plant at Halifax had enough coal to operate ,for 30 clays at least.’ . .... .,

In the Pictou County industrial.) nrca George i-‘t. Saunders. man- ager of the Plctou County Board. admitted the board was "a bi‘. alarmed about t-lie whole business" but had "made plans in advance."

Although '10 per cent of Pic- tou‘s power was steam-generated; u large supply of coal was said to be on hand.

Cape Breton Island, Nova Sco- ia‘s largest coal-producing nreo. would be hard-hit in the event of n strike unless the minors made provision for supplies of fuel to gcnoruilng stations. Capo Breton depends almost exclusively on steam-generated electricity.

ilitawo Awaits Reaction To New Proposals

By DARBY ODONNEL-L

orrsws, Jan. 2o-_tcvl=i_rtn. ance Minister Albbott, feeling that the Federal Government has gone practically the limit in new tax- ation agreement proposals to the Provinces. today awaited further reaction of Provincial Premiers to the offers which would cost the Dominion a minimum of $206,- 168,000 annually.

New Brunswick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan have already in- formed Mr. Aibbott that the new offers. communicated to all pro- vinces within lhc last two weeks and made public Friday, were ac-

taxation agreements.

Premier Drew of Ontario, term- ing the proposals different than those originally made to the Pro- vinces, has called for a new Dominion - Provincial conference. To this Mr. Abbott has replied that he cannot see what useful purpose could be accomplished through a conference at this time and that he has found no gen- eral desire among the Premiers for such a conference.

Duplesall’ Attitude --

1n Montreal today Premier Du- plessis of Quebec said he and his colleagues would study the latest tax proposals of the Dominion Government "in the light of the of the Province and the rights of the central government," but he said also the taxation rights of the Provinces "should not be replaced by subsidies.”

Mr. Duplessls. who received the proposals yesterday, added that in thashort time he, 1188mm able‘ to give to reading them "what sruck mc...'\vas that Ot- tawa asks the Province to cede definite rights for a definite time but the estimates of what the Province will receive are based indefinitely."

No reaction has yct come from Premier Mncrlonald of Nova Sco- tin, Premier‘ Manning of Alberta. Premier Jones of Prince Edward Island. and Premier Hart of Brit- ish Columbia.

Mr, Abihoft said he did not an- ticipate any objections from Mr. Jones or Mr. Hart as the new 0f- fers would provide them “"1111 more revenue than they would have obtained under akreemefbm accepted in principle last mont-.1.

U.S. Consumer Prices In New Reductions

QWIROIQIZ.

NEW YORK. Jan. fl-(APL- The thud of many falling prices was heard across the United States last. week and promises of more to come sounded like good news for consumers in-INT.

Decreases in wholesale lines for the most part have outstripped retail drops. Once these are translated at the retail level the value of the housewifds dollars automatically will rise.

The Associated Press index of 35 wholesale commodities showed the greatest aggregate drop in the last two weeks ofgany like period since before 1936, with one excep- tion. This came in a single two- week span last summer when prices were fluctuating widely during the Office o! Price Ad- mrinistrations oi‘! -again -on-again act.

One pro-mincnt economist prc-

dicted a further drop of 26 per cent in food prices during the next l2 months. The National Retail Dry Goods Association held out hope of at least “par- tial progress" toward what it called consumer demands for $2.50 broadcloth shirts, $3 house dress- es and $1.96 sheets. Even more convincing evidence of coming price decreases in some food lines came from the futures markets, where traders grow fat or thin by contracting now for commodities for delivery at a fu- ture date.

At ‘he close of Saturday's mar- kets in Chicago. you could buy butter for June delivery for 52.75 cents a pound. Wheat for Sep- tember delivery was a shade above $1.74 a bushel as against Saturday's $2.19 cash spot price and September oats were quoted at less than 50 cents a bushel compared with Saturday's 81 cents.

Al Bapone Dies At 48

MIAMI BEACH, 111a,, Jan. 2d - (AP) - Scarface A1 Capone. 4B. gangland leader who feared a mob- sters‘ death, died Saturday night amid the luxury of his private villa. with his family gathered mound.
