SYDNEY, N. 5,. Sept. 18—(CP) —Subsldles paid or claimed for the Nova Scotia coal mining 1r.- dustry in 1944 amounted to $8-

.

400.597, it was disclosed in figures, Royal;

placed before the Carroll Commission on Coal today.

K. J. Morrison Calgary sccoun-‘v I

tant who made a survey o: the

financial position of the Nova‘

Scotla cosi mines, presented state- ments showing that, excluding government subsidies. the mines had a loss of $7,554,698 last year. Including subsidies, either paid or gloialmed, they had a profit of $845,-

The entire afternoon session of the Commission was devoted to the reading of Mr, Morrison's re- port which is to be continued to- morrow. l-fe will then be exam- ined by J. J. Frawley Commission Counsel Lionel Porsyth, counsel for the Dominion Coal Co; and J. L. Cohen. counsel for the Unit- ed Mine Workers (COL).

The financial statements pre- psred by Mr, Morrison covers the

period 1930 to 1944. He drew nt-

tention to the fact that; in that time the Dominion Coal Co. exper- ienced s. loss of $7,674,675 on sales to associated companies in t); Dominion Steel and Coal Corpor- ation organization. The largest loss-$'I,584,fi23-was on sales to the Dosco Steel Company.

"The selling price of coal ob-

tained by the nroduccr is controll-i ed by the Wartime Prices and! Trade Board before any adlush-

merit in these prices could ‘Je made," he said.

"The effect of such sales at pric- es lower than cost is to increase the loss of the coal company and therefore the matter should re- ceive consideration by your ‘Com- mission."

"I1; will seem that the major amount is to the steel division, but it is pointed out that losses are also incurred in sales to Enstem Car Co. and Seaboard Power Co., and we suggested that; explanat- ions be given by the coal compan- ies to support this proceedure."

OTTAWA, Sept. l8 - Transport Minister Lionel Chevrier said to- day in the House of Commons in reply to a question asked last Fri- day by W Chester S McLure, PrQgressive Conservative member for Queen's, that seamen serving on the S.S. Prince Edward Island have been receiving war risk bonus for service in dangerous waters by a ruling from the National War Labor Board of February, 1943 “The said seamen" he stated, "would therefore be entitled to the merchant seamen special bonus of l0 percent of their earnings from Feb 26. 1943, until April 1. i944. upon making application in the ap- proved form to the Director of Merchant.

Million Figure Said Far Wide OF

Actual 5i

By FRANK FLAIIERTY

OTTAWA, Sept. l8 — (CP) —- Remarks of two front bench mem- bers of the Commons-Reconstruc- tion Minister Howe and John Bracken, Progressive Conserva- tive lesder——were under critical ex- amination today during continued debate on the Thorne Speech.

John R. MacNlcol (PC-Jforonto. Davenport) disagreed with Mr. Rowe's optimistic view of the cm-i ployment situation and Ralph Maybank (Ir-Winnipeg South Centre) described Mr. Brackcrrs first speech in the Commons as non-committal.

Mr. MacNlcol, retired industria- list who spends the intervals be- tween sessions of Parliament tra- velling and investigating oppor- tunities for economic development, said there were ct two jobs for every Job-seeker in Canada.

He was referring to Mr. Rowe's speech last night in which the Minister gave figures of vacanz Jobs listed with the Labor Depart- ment and unemployed persons a- vallsble for Jobs.

Mr. MacNicol said an unem- ployed man had told him the "figures should be the other way around”—iwo job-seekers for every job.

Mr. Msybank, who sat in the Manitoba Legislature from 1932-35 as d supporter of Mr. Bracken, then Premier of the Province, said he was "sorry to see Mr. Bracken in‘ his present plight."

The new Opposition leader, said Mr. Maybsnk, seldom took a stand for or against anything in his Commons speech, opening the! Throne Speech debate. He was in favor of reducing the income tax but so was everyone else. no one less than Finance Minister Ilsley.

Mr. Bracken had said the peo- ple would stand for no "chiseling" on promises to returning service- men. Everyone would agrec with that but there was no evidence of] chfsellng and veterans of the First, Great War would not forget than Mr. Bracken was the first Govern- ment leader to do "a little chisel- ing" on them. He had taken away a tax exemption accorded veterans, by a preceding government.

Suppo v5 Meat Rationing

Mr. May-bank said he favored meat rationing, opposed last night by L.O. Breithaupt (L-Waterloo North).

“I recall that Jesus spoke with approval of those who fed the hun- gry and clothed the naked." said Mr. Maybsnk. "I recognize that if we are going to feed the hungry there must bc some system of div- iding up what is left of the pie."

At the night, sitting Finance Minister llslcy announced that tomorrow's meeting between Prices Board officials and representatives of the Retail Merchants Assoc-

Floating Road Across English Channel Possible ~

(By The Canadian Press)

LONDON Sept. ill-Floating air- flelds in mid-ocean and even float- ing hlghway bridges across such waters as the English Channel, now are technically possible, the Admiralty said tonight.

British scientists have found a method of floating landing strips and "bridges" on water like a carpet, the Admiralty said in re- leasing details of the first experi- mental ocean air base, which had its" origin when an inventors brainwave sent him motorcycling at. 50 miles an hour along a tar-

sulln stretched over a river sur- ace.

Ordinarytcnsion will sup rt a needle on thc water's surfacpe? 8y putting a flexible s Ihetlc sur- ace on the sea and increasing the tension about 400 times it has been found possible to sup- port heavy lorries and aircraft n mid-ocean.

That tests had been carried outl _successfully in secrecy by Britain

and the United States was report» ed unofficially several weeks ago.

A Long-Time Vlllfln

Aviation ex erts have visioned mid-ocean lan ing bases as a boon to long-distance travel.

This latest discovery of how to build an airfield with a tin can landing base brings these- dreams wit-bin the realms of actuality. the Admiralty declared. "Man-made islands" built. w any shape and
