The bill instructs every employee now on strike to go back to work to hours after it becomes law.

Immediately, the employees are to be given a temporary four-cents-am sour wage increase by the railways -1119 top figure offered by them as rgainsi the seven cents sought by ;he unions.

The final extent of the wage in- :,rcLSe, along with other contract ierms such as the inaugural date of ihr 40-hour week with unchanged zakr-home pay. are to be negotiqxtcd retween the unions and the rail- vsvs in 15 days.

Failing that. f.hc Government is lo appoint an arbitrator to decide an all matters still unsettled be- ;ween the companies and the men, rnd his decision will be binding on Ioih parties.

However. a clause in the bill says the 15-day limit may be ex- iended by ihe Cabinet but the joint request of the railways and unions if agreement is not reached at ihat lllllf.

No Penalties

A major feature of the bill is its lack of penalties for failurelto obey.

it was understood that the Gov- -rmnent at one time -had stiff pen- rlty clauses under consideration out later discarded them. possibly because of'tl-is blie assurances sf union leaders t at their men

would obey a back-to-work order Yr-om Parliament.

Another aspect of the bill is that the temporary settlement applies :he four-cent provisional increase :0 hotel and water A anspcri em- ployees of the railway companies. whose exclusion by the railways '.rom the general terms of an agreement had been a stumbling slack to agreement.

The railways offered these em- ployeee only two cents. against four for the bulk of the workers. But the bill. in blanket form. given the temporary four cents to all union groups encased in the negotiations that collapsed last Saturday night.

Urges Quick Action

in bringing in the legislation to r House summoned to Ottawa to deal with the strike crisis. Mr. St. Laurent called for quick action on it and said the transportation alt- uaiion was worsening with every rmur.

"Transportation has got to be resumed," he said, declaring that mnlinuance of the strike could eventually wreck the country.

Mr. St. Laurent emphasized that this measure was of an emergency iype dealing only with the present suuailon and was not meant to be a pattern for general labor legis- lation. (it contains no provision: beyond those dealing with the current stoppage.)

Mr. MacQusid stated he was in favor of the organization to a cart- ain extent but questioned the pow- ers the board would have. "if they have all the powers in this act. it will be pretty hard on the operators stated Mr. MacQuald."

Referring to a statement by Mr. W. 1?. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Ag- riculture. that the present set up of 65 or 70 egg grading stations throughout the Island composed a patch work system of marketing, he stated that such a system did n work out too badly. ;

"We developed many new mark- eta.” he stated and they were good markets" This scheme will be pretty hard on the young graders who have only started up in business a few years ago. -

"I asked an egg producer who we in my store today if he was coming to the meeting tonight and he said that he was not as the scheme would be put into effect by two or three anyway."-

Mr. D. A. MacDonald replied that he would not listen to any suggest- ion of railroading in the scheme- The advisory committee appointed thirteen months ago were asked to do a job. he stated.

"we are all familiar with the alt- uation since that time," he con- tinued. ”Laat December the price of eggs were so low that we were forced to Ink the Dominion Gov- ernment, for a support price. Lucky the Government supported us and one went into storage at so cents adcaen to the producer. -

Father McKenzie exhorted the women to pray and cited the many intentions for which the church wlohes us to pray. "All too frequently God is forgotten in the ever-increasing craze for pleasure and entertain- ment." sald Father McKenzie. The llrlJ' choir sang appropriate hymns.

A letter from Mr. George Wood invited members to assist in the work of caring for the blind by reporting cases of blindness or ap- proaching blindness. A letter on social welfare brought forth much discussion on the sponsori... of better reading and the removal of banned llferaciurc from our news- stands. .

An interesting report of the 1949 National Convention held at Wind- sor. Ont. was given by the Pro- vincial President, Mrs. W. J. P. MacMillan.

farmers voted in favor of it.

"We know that the grader will have to abide by a few regulations but we also know that if the Gov- ernment had not supported the egg prices last year many of the small graders would have suffered big losses."

A Fairschenae

This scheme has been drawn up in all fairness and reasonableness, he ntlnued. and as Mr. RM. Nash, District Manager Poultry Products stated. there has been nothing done that would hurt any- one.

Mr. Hunter agreed that some- thing should be done but thought the scheme too complicated. Dur- ing the marketing period this board will have to sit continuously. he stated. or have one man whose opinions will be final. .

The connection with the central marketing board compllclfu mat- ters, he added. "I can not think of anything that would have to be submitted to them. You an not expect a. man to market goods when he has never had any ex- perience in marketing."

Mr. Lincoln Dewar pointed out that the central board will not be a. marketing agency and that the graders will all deal the same as they have been doing with certain regulations. only that all will be working together,

In reply to'a question by Mr. Hunter as to whether or not the Board could cancel the license of an egg grader, Mr. Dewar replied that this was the case but would only be done in the event there

was something very seriously wrong. ' Mr. Earl lngs. Mount Herbert.

poimfod out ihat'there was a great deal of misinterpretation eur- roundlng the scheme. "I am in- tereated in the man with the small flocks." he stated. "What have you canning men and egg graders done to receive the money that the Government promised us'.'." he asked. "What organization have you sat up?"

Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minia- ter of Agriculture pointed out the need for a regulated marketing system. "Dean not see why any- one would object to such a plan."

he slated. "It is as inevitable es , H9

the -tides on the short. It will come sooner or later.

"The problem is right on our own doorstep. We must have be- llcf in it. The'plan.la a very sin- cere co-operative effort to meet the egg and poultry problems and will not hurt anyone."

Mr. F. M. Nash, a member of the advisory committee. consider- ed the by-laws I the scheme very favorable and re aonablc. "I think that the men who drew up the schema did so with very unbiased efforts and if we have belief in it. the Ichamgchould work for the benefit of all in the industry." -

Ha told the group of the form- ulation of a national plan for ad- vertislng and that they would be approached to aid the project.

Messrs. Lloyd Burns, Freetown. I-Iober MacPhall. New Haven. Gerald Richards. Wellington, Ralph Raynor. Mount Herbert. G. E. Harilen and Gerald Clark. Char- lottetown. and Mrs. J. F. laatcn. New Wlltahirc. spoke in favor of the plan.

Successful field Day Is Held. Al Rose laglleyi

"Come and visit your Experi- mental Farm." was the invitation extended farmers by Mr, a,.c, pm-. ent, Superintendent of the Char- lottetown Experimental Station, speaking at the field day held on the Illustration Station owned and 0D9l'flled by J-W. Macxenzie and Son. Rme Valley. Mr. Parent went on -to outline some of the -work be- ing done at Charlottetown. indic- ating much could be learned by such a visit, "The staff of the Farm are always pleased to see visitors and take pleasure in showing them around," he said. frhls field day was sponsored by the Division of Illustration sta- tions, Experimental station. Char- lottetown, in cc-operation with the Provincial Department of Agricul- ture. The program commenced at 6.30 p.m. and. consisted of ad- dresses by Department of Agricul- ture representatives and several films on agricultural topics. During the course of the evening refresh- ments were served by the Wom- en's Institute of Rose Valley. some of the highlights of his re- cent trip to Europe were reviewed by Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Minis- ter of Agriculture, He was greatly impressed by the intense system of farming and pleasing appearance of the farm buildings in the countries visited. He also noted the great love of tradition among the European peoples and the popularity of folk schools. or as they could be called. citizenship schools where they teach such subjects as physical culture, folk dancing and singing as well as the traditions of their country.

The people of these countries are

very conscious of the need -for con- servation, he stated. They take great pain to eradicate weeds and by so doing have increased pro- duction of food stuff from 5 to 10 per cent. They do not erect fences. therefore, no land is waswd in fence headlands. Of course this means all cattle have to be teth- ered, thus maklnu the most of the grazing area available. They have a very highly develop- erl system of co-operatives. espec- ially in Sweden where 97 per cent of the agricultural products are handled through these agencies. Such co-operatives are also respon- sible for all agricultural research and extension that is carried on in these countries and they maintain a staff of agricultural scientists. In Denmark they maintain 152 soil specialists alone.
