“Back-to-work” Move- ment Gains Momen- tum As Labor De- mands Are Met.

(A. P. By Guardian’! Special Wire) PARIS, June 12—The Chamber of Deputies sent a bill giving the workers of France a 40-hour week to the Senate today. and Premier Leon Blum sought quick assage of his labor meae so by e Upper House in order to speed a settle- ment of the paralyzing strikes.

A "back-to-vn:or'k” movement throughout the nation seemed to he spreading faster than new strikes.

Demonstrating workers in Paris were orderly under the eyes of mobile guardsmen. who prevented mass demonstrations and arrested persons who refused to obey ord- ers to “keep moving" on the streets.

The Communist leader, Maurice Thorez, yoined union officials in ef- forts to persuade strikers to accept accords, saying workers must "learn how to end a strike the moment essential demands are met."

A 40-hour week was one of the pi’ ' l demands of the strike movement. which at its peak had nearly 1.000.000 workers idle. It was passed by the Chamber see to 175.

Reinforcements of mobile guards and police were quietly stationed about the capital.

An attempt by the Croix do Pleu. Nationallstic war veterans’ organ- isation. to keep butcher shops op- en despite a walkout caused loud protests from the strikers. Police intervened and prevented serious trouble.

socialist leaders, expressing fear of "foreign elements" in the strike movement, conferred with police.

Premier mum refused demands that he oust "folded arm" strik- ers occupying factories and stores. but said he would take active mea- sures if necessary to prevent the strikes from going beyond the gov- ernment's control.

Roger saiengro. minister of the interior. announced 266.576 strikers continued to occupy places of work in the Paris region.

Lives

Two Brothers, James and George McIn-' nis_, Drowned At Point Des Roches.

Prlnce»Edward Island's first sum-

mer heat wave had caused the loss of two lives yesterday.

Victims were James, 17. and George Mcfnnis, 15. Point des Roches brothers who drowned

Thursday evening while seeking re- lief from the heat in a. pool a mile from the farm home of Mr. Daniel Shreenan, an uncle with whom they lived.

The youths set out Thursday af- lernoon for a dip in the cool wat- ers of the fishing pool. Neither was a good swimmer. They were be- lleved to have drowned when they waded beyond their depth.

A search was started by their uncle when the boys failed to re- turn home to supper. Finding their clothes hanging from a tree limb at the edge of the pool and their dog whining near the water, he notified police.

R. C. M. P. and neighbors drag- god the pool and one body was re- covered just before midnight. The other boy's body was taken from the bottom of the pool Just after daybreak yesterday.

Dr. A. B. Martin of Mount Stew- art examined the bodies and de- cided an inquex,‘ was unnecessary.

Vice-president of C. P. R. Backs Beatty’s Views.

(C. P. by Guan-in-‘s Special Wire)

OVITAWA. June l2—Unification oi the Canadian Pacific and Can- adian National Railways would ef- fect a saving of $05,000,000, D. 0. Coleman. 0. P. R. vice-president told the Senate Railway Commit- tee today. He agreed with Sir Ed- ward Beatty, C. P. R. President, in this. Mr. Coleman said.

The two railways had labored diligently to effect economies by cooperation. he said, and it was a mistake to rippose there was any spirit of hostility between them in carrying out the Government act requiring cooperation.

C. P. Plullerton, chairman of trustees of the C. N. R. disagreed with Mr. Coleman in the amount that would be saved by unification. setting the saving at $15,000,000 for both lines.

Arrangements had been made up to the prwent to provide for a saving of $1,100,000 a year for both companies. Mr. Coleman said. Ex- ecutive officers of the system had approved plans for saving $500,000 more annually and had recom- mended other arrangements to save 825,000 a year.

“You have never reached the stage where the two systems should go to the met on any eco- ‘iomy disagreement and appoint an aibitral tribunal?“ Mr. Meigh-

en asked. "No air," the 0. P. R. official re- plied.

MOSCOW, June l2—'l‘he omcial press. commenting on Russia's pro- Jected new constitution. described Soviet democracy today as the “only real democracy of the world."

Bourgeois democracy. the news- papers asserted, is a. "dictatorship of capitalism."

A new constitution, to be pro- mulgated this autumn. will guaran- tee freedom of speech, press, em- pioyment and religion: establish two parliamentary bodies and give Rurslans the right to elect a pro- portion of their oillcials by secret ballot.

“The mortal danger of a new war hangs over the world as a mon- strous crime of the bourgeokie, which is sunk up to its ears in a swamp in bankrupt economy," Pravda said.

TUBERS REACH I2 YEAR HIGH IN NUVA SBUTIA

Island Potatoes Sel- ling At $3.50 Per 90- pound Bag Retail In Halifax.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) H.AL11i‘AX, June 12-—Drought in the southern and central potato- producing territories of the United States during the past two weeks drove prices in Nova Scotia. to the highest level in more than 12 years, dealers said here today.

Halifax retailers were asking as high as $350 per 90-pound bag for Prince Edward Island-grown po- tatoes as consumers purchased large supplies following the pre- diction prloes would continue to soar before the spring crop came on the market.

Nova Boom. potatoes were prac- tically unobtainwble in Halifax to- day, wholesalers said. and this supply-—from Cumberland County dlst!‘ici.9—Wa£ rapidly becoming depleted.

“I! it wasn't for Pzince Edward Island, Nova. Bcotla would be lost in her potato supply," one whole- saler said. "The Island is the only thin; keeping us going."

New potatoes from Texas which were placed on the Halifax mar- ket during the week for the first time this year were selling for $9.- 00 per 90-pound bag.

The bulk of the supply which mill remained in the Maritimes was being exported to United States where unlimited prices were being bid by wholesalers as a result of the great scarcity that has resulted in the wake of the drought which has held the crop back some weeks.

City market officials comment- ed today it was the biggest scar- city thoy had seen in more than a. decade as only one booth offered potatoes for serle.-—at alrnmt four oents a. pound

Government officials said to- night they did not expect the sup- ply of local spring tubers would be placed on the market for at least three weeks.

Despite scarcity of potatoes which has sent prices soaring during the past few weeks. there would prob- ably be enough to go around until the spring crop comes in. Mr. J. W. Eoultcr. manager of Potato Grow- ers‘ Association stated last night. Drought in the southern and central potato-producing territories of the United States had proved a blessing for Price Edward Island growers who have shipped 150 cars to the United States this season at good prices. he declared.

At present, however, there was not much more than 25 cars of po- tatoes remaining in Prince Edward Island. Mr. Boulter believed, “al- though it‘; surprising how many po- tatoes the farmers can dig out of their cellars when they're needed." If supplies held out for a month local spring tuber crops would pro- bably be on the market by that

time. Mr. Boulicr thought.

(Reuters and Havas Agency dispatches reported a clash south of Hengchow between Cantonese advance de- tachments and Nanking troops. There were no details.

Makes Prepa

While Nanking is undoubtedly striving to avoid civil war, Gener- alissirno Chiang Kai-shek is not overlooking preparedness.

Changsha, capital of H.l1n8-‘D- which adjoins the Canton province of Kwa.ngtung—is becoming a Nan- king mobilization centre. Large troop movements are going on in the central Yangtze Valley. all heading for Changsha. Still other detachments have left Changsha for the south and are believed nearing the southemers.

Relies on Air force

Nanking apparently is relying heavily upon its air force to shat- ter the southern i.hreat if hostil- ities begin. Several squadrons of bombers and pursuit craft are in Changsha. The southerners also are credited with having a. form- idable air force.

As the southern threat develops Chinese sources said they were growing more convinced it was a Japanese-inspired effort to em- barrass and weaken Nanking, with Canton playing the leading oppo- sitlon role under Japanese direc- tion.

These sources said a.nti-Japan- me slogans emanating from the south were mere camouflage, ob- scurlng the real aims of the insurg- ente.
