CRITICS FEAR START OF

By HAROLD MORRISON

Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)—'1'he Canadian Wheat Board moved swiftly Mon- day to slash wheat prices by 10'/. cents a bushel. matching a simi- lar United States cut. Critics feared it. was the beginning of a Canada- U.S. price war that may bring hard times to the average Canadian.

Biggest in post-war years, the cut was the second. in the last. five months, affecting the three top wheat grades. It brought. the Cana- dian price at the lakehead to 31.72% a bushel for No. I northern, the lowest in nine years. Smaller reductions were made on lower grades. Durums. which: command a premium price on world markets, were not. affected. .

Critical Of “loss leader" Cigaret Sales

MONTREAL. tCP)—'I'he Retail Tobacco Association of Quebec Monday blamed “ions leader" sell- ing of cigareto by department, chain and drug stores as the main reason for a bankruptcy loss of 35,252,000 by Canadian retailers in the first quarter of 1964.

This claim was made before a three-man Federal government commission. investigating restrict- ed trade practices across Canada, as it opened its first Quebec hoar- ing here. _

Chairman C. Iihodas-smith and assistant commissioners A5. Whit- ley and Guy I-‘avreau heard H.J. Gorhnkel, association president. say:

"Many food. drug and depart- ment stores realize that a cus- tomer can be enticed into a store by offering him cigarets at a cut price, even though this item is completely unrelated to the real business of the store.

"By this vicious practice they cause ruinous competition to the small retailer who depends on this item for his bread and butter."

The commission started hearings in Ottawa May 27.

Most of the sac men laid off indefinitely will try to find other Jobs.

Jack Taylor, UAW business agent, said there is no employ- ment for them. except for a little building. He indicated some delay might be granted the unemployed men in making monthly payments on newly-purchased homes. Oakviua is 22 miles southwest of Toronto.

OTTAWA (CF) — Fire. Monday trapped three women in n ware- house and textile \\‘orkshop. burn- ing two to death near their sow- ing machines nnd claiming the third‘.-i life as a result of an appar- ent rescue attempt.

‘The dead were Mrs. Marle- Jeanne Brauil. 70-year-old super- visor in the uniform manufactur- ing workshop; Miss Alma Cram, 50; and Miss Germaine Sabourin, 30. Their bodies were so badly burned identification was difficult. All worked for'S. C. Walker-UnL

Fire Chief John Poole said he believes the three women died of a heat blast.

Employees who escaped from the burning building said Mrs. Brault returned to the workroom for her purse after being warned

of the blaze. Miss Cram. a close friend. went to look for her.

Solon Low, Social Credit leader, said his party will speak out against the drop. The government, he believed, siiould maintain the price to the farmer, even if it meant subsidies.

Under the US. system, the 10- cent cut is financed by increasing the government's shipping subsidy. In Canada, the farmer bears the full brunt of any drop.

Ottawa experts estimated that at the most, the l0-cent. drop could mean no more than a cut of one- fifth of a cent. a loaf in bread pro- duction cost.s—not enough to pas along to the consumer.

American officials are known to be concerned about the fact that Canada has been shipping more wheat to world markets than have Americans. even though the U.S. has given some wheat away under various defence-aid deals.

Canadian wheat recently, how- ever. has been moving very slowly. In May new IWA sales totalled only about 6,000 bushels. Total stocks in Canada available for ex- port and carry-over totalled about 741,000,000 bushels April 1, up from 606,000,000 a year ago. American supplies on April 1 totalled about 921000.000 up from 620.000.000.
