Premier J. Walter Jones replied

him by Mr. A. B. Mosher. Presi- dent ofuihe Canadian Congress of Labor and also head of the Cana- dian Brotherhood of Railway Em- ployees. with a threat to revive labor legislation divorcing ,the Province'l labor unions from out- side affiliation "and next time in- eluding the Btotherhoods as well."

Premier Jones was commenting on aipresa dispatch which said the C.C.L. would "protest vigorously any change in control of the Bar- den-Tormentine ferry from the Canadian National Railways." Mosher was quoted as saying such a move would be "an obvious at- tempt to prevent organized labor from carrying on collective bar- -gaining" and that it was "in line with the policy followed by Mr. Jones in introducing labor legisla- tion which ha was subsequently forced to withdraw".

Stating that "the Prince Edward Island Legislature was not forced to withdraw any legislation." the Premier added "indeed it may be forced - under similar circum- stances - to enact such labor legislation and next time include the railway brotherhoods as well."

(During the nationwide packing- house strike in 1941. the Island Legislature made it illegal for un- ions in the Province to continue their affiliation with outside is- bor organiutions. The Railway Brotherhood was exempted from the regulation which was relaxed after the strike was over.)

. "Perhaps." eald Premier Jones. "the public is unaware that Mr. -Moshe: has not succeeded in get- ting two-thirds of the employees of the " i T mentine ferries

g;gg L sung.” -5,

i "In fact enough employees were non-union imembara at lhe time of the recent country-wide rail ,sirike ,to:operate one of the two ferries if the Captain had wished to kap it going." laid the Premier. ,'1furthermore,"' he- said. "in any emergency the Bl'oi.lierhoad's agreement is superseded by The Government Vessels Discipline Act'." He added tersely, "the emergency existed."

"Poalibly Mr. Mosher is clia ' d because immediately following the strike his attempt to organise the Prince Edward island bus drivers failed when the move was blocked by the Amal- aamated Association of Street Elec- tric hallway and Motor Coach Employees of ltsnerica." declared Premier Jones.

Commenting further on Mnsher's charges. the Island Premier said. "rd paraphrase whit Agrippa said to Paul Much organisation hath made then insd'."

Fear Vldllms In Taeion May Total 6.000-

TM!" By DEM PRICE

TAEJON, Korea,loct. 2 - (AP) - Bodies of 1.100 Korean civilians murdered by the Red invaders had been found thus far in this ruined town as the gruesome task of open- ing fresh graves continued today.

A desecrated church that was formerly a French-Canadian man- astery gave up the greatest num- ber - 700 civilian dead. An un- known number of pthers .. perhaps 100 -- lay in the basement,

Thirty American soldiers -were among the total dead. Searchers feared 6.000 or 6,000 persons were massa ad in this town alone wed- nesday and Thursday by North Kor- Bil!!! security police before the Reds f ed.

Three Buried Alive

Two Americans and a South Kor- ean were burleri"allve, said Lleul. Robert W. shultlce of Norfolk, Va. They surviyed. but one of the Am- ericans died later.

shultlce, investigating atrocities for the adjutant-general, said the three were found struggling through the dirt for air. They had been bur- ied only lightly.

The 30 Americans slain had been tied by their wrists to dead men. It was feared that 13 more may be found when the rest of a trench is 'uncovered,

(AP correspondent o.H. P. King reported that mass graves found in Seoul indicated as many as 2.000 civilian political prisoners may have been executed in a single district of that capital before the common- ists retreated).

Pattern to Killings

Taejon'a .slckenlng shambles of death and destruction almost sur- passed belief. Yet there was g, at-

hysterical butchcry by a trapped and terrified enemy.

Each victim had been shot in- cllvidiually. Many apparently then had been clubbed to make certain none would survive. A hatchet pro- truded from the skull of one man.

Remaining townsfolk said the Reds chose for death the wealthy the known anti-communists. na- tional police and the relatives of south Korean soldiers. ,
