Social Work Conference For Maritimes In Session

I22 Garlic-la Employees In Wally

QUEBEC, Sept. 8 — (CED-Gar- age employees of the Quebec Rall- way Light and Power Company tonight went on strike here and the whole transport system of this city was threatened with s. oom- plete tie-up within a few days un- less a settlement was effected.

The 122 garage employees walk- ed out at five p.m. They are mem- bers of a Catholic syndicate affil- iated with the Canadian Catholic Confederation of Labor.

The men walked out -to enforce their demands for salary increases which, they say, will put them on an even footing with commercial garage employees.

The transport company Qmploy- ees were awarded» five cent hour- 1y increase by a. Federal arbitra- tion board ruling some time ago. The workers wanted three addit- ional cents an hour. The company consented to pay two cents over the Board's five cents sword but declined to meet the extra cent demands

A strike vote was taken by the workers Sept. 2 but last minute efforts to reach a compromise de- lsyed the strike.

Last night, after talks broke down, union organizer Rene l-Lar- megnies, announced the syndicate was in the "obligation to strike."

The Quebec Power PM’! its gar- age employee! 65 cents hourly for apprentices and $1.02 for first class men.

Registration At St. Dunstan’: 0f lligh School Pupils

High School students were en- rolled at Saint Dunltan's Univer- sity yesterdsy in a registration which departed from the custom- ary admittance of High School and University students at the same time. University students will be registered next week. The num- ber enrolled was estimated to .be about ths same as the High School enrollment in previous years.

The main purpose in enrolling High School students before the University students was to get the High School program in oper-

‘stion before the College students

arrived. thus preventing s great deal of congestion. The later date of University registration also al- lows College students in summer training camps and those working outside the Province to return in time for the opening.

Declaring that there was "no need for competition in the social welfare field between existing pri- vate agencies and the public ser- vices," Miss Bessie Touzel. ns- sistant director of the Canadian Welfare Council outlined the roles of both as being comple- mentary at last evening's meet- ing of the second annual Mari- time Conference on Social Work being currently held at Dslvay.

Some 100 delegates from the four Maritime Provinces were l elcomed yesterday morning by Hon. A. W. Matheson, Provincial Minister of Public Health and Welfare. The opening address was given by Dr. J.

Halifax, led the afternoon discussion on "Local Coordination of Social Work through Community Wcl- fare Councils."

Lt.Col. P. S. Fielding, Deputy Minister of Welfare. presided at the opening session. Mr. Mstllc- son stressed the importance of the Conference producing practical results by way of achieving greater unity among workers in the field of social welfare work as well as interpreting its object to the general public who are al- most totally unaware of what so- cial work is all about.

Mr. Matheson pointed out that political unity in Canada had its beginning here on Prince Edward Island and that there was no rea- son why actual unity .in social work should not begin here as well. He stressed the importance of social work being guided by

Sees Solulion Through Customs Code Relsion

By GEORGE RONALD (Canadian Frets Stuff Writer)

WASHINGTON. Sept. 8 — (CP) - Revision of _the complicated United States customs code would be a big step toward solution of Britain's dollar problem. It would mean much to Canada, too.

This question is one of the many being discussed this week e-t the Anglo-Canadian-American fin- ancial and economic conference. Observers soy lt is unlikely the talks will result in any full-dress move to knife through the tangle of red tape obstructing trade with the United States. _

But by threshing the thing out in conversation. Brituh and Cari- aclian officials may be able to

--help American authorities speed

up a change that is long overdue. United States officials say gov- ernment lawyers already are drafting legislation to simplify and modernize customs regulations.

Confusion exists at levels where procedure presumably should be simplest. Foreign business men complain they can't be sure how American customs officials will

GARMISCH - PARTENKIRCHEN, GERMANY, Sept. B — (AP) — Richard Strauss, whose music ell- riched the world for more than 70 years, died today‘ at ths age of B5.

I-le succumbed to lnfirmlties of tho hurt, gall bladder and kid- neys which hsd kept him bed-rid- den since mid-August. Uremic was given as the direct cause of death.

The llfs of ths famous composer of such works es "Der floun- ksvslisr” and "Salome" was inter- woven with triumphs and tra- gedlss reaching from the unifica- tion of Germany by Bllmlrolr. through two world wars and tbs birth of s new west-German re-

Change Of Name Motion Is Shelved By Synod

11y Irving C. Whynot

Canadian Press Staff Writer

HALIFAX. Sept. 8 —(-OP) —— A motion to change the name of the Church of England in Canada was shelved for at least three years to- day after the Upper and Lower Houses of the General Synod Bill" in a standing vote.

The motion to change the name to "the Anglican Church of Can- ada" carried with a large majority in the Lower HOUS%O0.m'pOS6d of laity and clergy. But the Upper House-the bishops—""'e~d about 2-1 against it and it automatically Ill 10st.

A majority in both houses was required for passage. No announce- ment was made as to the actual count of the voting.

Following defeat of the motion another presented by the House of Bishops advocating that the matter be studied by a. joint com- mittee of both houses and referred toethe next General Synod was car- ried. Tho Synod will next meet in about three or four years.

Previous to the voting on these motions, two others-one that the matter be referred to the church's 2d diocesan Synod for study and the other asking that s. committee be named to study the matter and report back before the grid of the present Synod- were ost

Th0 motion for the change came from J. P. Bell. a layman from Hamilton. Ont. It was Seconded by the Most Rev. P. Carrlngton. Archbishop of Quebec.

Some 1d delegates spoke on the resolution, first of the controversial ones to come before the church's 11th General Synod here. The Synod opened yesterday.

Many wan from the western provinces. where support for the change Qpesred to be strong.

Ilbst of ths opposition to the proposed cbsngs centred around

hs fact that ties with England would be lost if the word "ling- lsad" were dropped from ths title.

Abbott Makes Favorable Impression At Conference

By George Ronald Canadian Press Stsff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 -—(CP)

—Douglas Abbott has sparked s new awareness of Canada's stake in the dollar-sterling problem.

What's more, the 50-year-old Canadian finance minister is building up a new respect for the way the Dominion tackles so complex, a matter.

_The consensus among diploma- tic and government officials and newspaper men is that Abbott thus far has been n highlight of the Anglo-Canadian-American fi- nancial conference.

His statement at Wednesday's opening session — in which he listed four types of United States economic policy which should be "re-examined" —- made people sit llp and take notice. In adOiion. it strengthened the favorable per- sonal impression he made when he arrived here Monday and at a press conference Tuesday.

Despite his record in Canad- ian government, Abbott is not really well known here - cor. ialnly not the way L. B. Pearson. the external affairs minister is known. Pearson. a former sm- bassador to the United States. has a host of close friends in Washington.

But Abbott's frank. personal sp-

mroach is slowly changing that.

At the press conference in the Canadian embassy, he lounged

Drew Confers With Prime Minister

OTTAWA, Sept. 8 — (CP) -—- Georse Drew. back at his Ottawa desk a week before the opening of Parliament, indicated to re- porters today he doesn't think the one-day siege of eight Federal by- elections Oct. 24 will develop into another "general contest."

The Progressive Conservative leader conferred with Prime Min- ister St. Laurent in the latter's office about plans for the first session of the new Parliament. His only comment was that he doesn't think it will last beyond Dec. 1.

It opens next Thursday.

Mr. Drew declined comment on the Parliamentary prospects of a number of issues. He said he should first discuss them with the other 39 House members of his party.

They will hold a caucus a few hours before Parliament swings into a stride that will range them beside 186 Liberals, 13 C. C. F. adherents. 10 Social Creditors and five other members.

On the splurge of by-elections, Mr. Drew said they will be hand- led at the local level and it was his expectation that "there will be a tendenc, to feel that nothing has happened since the general election to call for a general con- test."

Mr. Drew was asked about re- ports that J. M. Macdonnell, fin- ancial critic for the party in the last Commons but a defeated can- didafe June 27, may contest the lay-election in Toronto Greenwood. The riding was won by a Progres- sive Conservative, J. E. McMlllin, who- recently died.

The leader said the choice of a candidate would be a matter for the local committee.

He said the choice of a new fin- ancial critic would rest with the caucus.

Mr. Drew said a "full organiz- ation" will be maintained at party headquarters here but arrange- ments for the organization have not been completed.
