Domestic Prices Up Too

The result of the new agreement will be that the packers will pay the farmers higher prices for hogs and the price of pork in the domestic market will advance in line with the export price. The expectation ls that pork prices in Canada soon will be higher than beef prices and will result in Canadians using more beef and less pork. thus leaving more pork for Britain.

Lower domestic consumption is the only way to increase exports immediately although pork from sows bred Lu J “will be avail- able for eXliort in the last three months of 1947.

‘Goal Shortage “To Shut ilown British Factories

i

By JOHN DAUPHINEE LONDON. Dec. 20—(CP Cable) l-Seventccn thousand employees

of the huge Austin Motor Com-i

pony tonight were notified that inn. "indefinite period" after

Christmas because coal deliveries are sufficient only to keep the factory and its waiter mains from freezing.

More than 2.000 motor vehicles weekly will be lost to export and home markets.

The Fuel Ministry announced later it "has in hand" measures to supplement coal supplies to

Austin's and to other firms ihe Birmingham area. The Min- istry said if every firm practised rigid economy in fuel conau ,1- iion there would be no reason for a complete stoppage

The announcement of the im- pending diutdown came 24 hours after 600 workers at Leyland Motors, Ltd.. iron foundry near Preston. Lancoshire. were told they will have an enforced two- week holiday over the Christmas- Ncw Year period because coke supplies sre exhausted.

Binninghnms electricity supply

department urged all factories to close one day n week because fuel for coal-powered generators ls insufficient to meet the full de- _msnd through the winter. t A shortage of locum ‘ives and railway cars despite wide cuts in passenger services was under- stood responsibie for t-he fuel shortage in the industrial Mid- lands. The Levland foundry is only lb miles from the nearest eoliiery.

‘these are the first serious in- terruptions to production known to have occurred because of a ‘coal situation which Fuel Minis- tee Bhinweii has advised indust- rialists is “worse” than a year so» despite rising output.

Earlier Arthur l-‘forner. general secretary of the National Union of Mine Workers. forecast an an- ticipated 5.000.000-inn deficit in coal supplies would throw 1.000.- 000 men and women temporarily out of work.
