eluded its two-day annual meet- 1"! at its Toronto office. The Board urged this Dﬂlicit on the Federal author m". $11.8 Governments of the Prov- inces, both eastern and western in- terested in coal production, the Can- adian Chamber of commerce, and all other interested organisations. The commissions resolution, also placed responsibility for support of the use of Canadian coal with the Canadian

bcrs of which enjoy many advantag- es through the tariff policy in this country."

A second high light, of today's con- cluding session was the decision of the Board of Control, which is com- posed of six business men from the Maritime Provinces and six repre- sentatives of the Maritime Provinces Association of Toronto, that R. W. E. Burnaby, the Commissioner should pay specie! attention to-in~ creasing the market for fish in Cent- ral Canadaduring the coming year. This step in effect, means the con- tlnuance on a large scale of Mr. Burnaby's policy of wholehearted co- operation with the Federal and Pro- vincial fisheries officials and the fish dealers. It is especially significant in view ofithe approaching campaign by the Federal Department of Fish- eries for greater consumption of fish in Canada as soon as its survey of the industry is completed. E. M. Saunders of Toronto was re- elected to a third term as Chairman of the Board of Control, high praise being given by those present for his ability and untiring interest in that capacity. R. W. E. Burnaby was re- elected Commissioner and Colonel J. P. Legallals, Vice Pres.

A number of other Maritime in- dustries were under discussion and

work of the past year, together with his recommendation were adopted The Maritime delegates for the most part left for their homes this even- lng.

Almost half the identified dead urn women and girls, and the com- plete list runs the whole scale of human classifications. While sailors continued patrolling the streets of the ravaged towns today to prevent looting, reinforcements of the Squads of rescuers risked their lives among the leaning walls and tottering ruins, reaping the harvest of the disaster.
