The holdup was an expert job- but police aald the robbers made the mistake of talking too loudly when they made their plans in a New Orleans bar.

"If we had known lost night what we knew this morning," of- ficers commented, “we could have greeted the men at the bank."

A suitcase sailed by police when two men were arreatd cmiained $86,000, police estimated adding that 030.000 was found in a paper bag in the room of another aus- pect.

The men in ciutody were ident- ified as Geor|e Rlcketta, I. and his 21-year-old nephew, Tommie Rlcketta; and John Blaslnbaclr, IS. Police said Hunchback was the driver of the automobile in which the robber made their get-away.

Potato Warehouse Board For Province Appointed

PMIIO-flovwinl communities in the Province which have been suffering from a lack of adequate storage facilities will now have an opportunity to have that con- dition remedied.

Premier J. Walter Jones ari- nounced yesterday that he has sp- pointcd Mr. J. l". Connolly. de- puty mlniafer of Reconstruction, and Mr. Gordon White, of the De- partment of Public Works and Highways, as Provincial Govern- ment representatives on a Potato Warehouse Board. The other mem- bers. appointed by the Dominion Government, are Mr. 5. G. Peppm, chief inspector, seed potato certi- ‘ fication service, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, and Mr, Chester Shaw, chief inspector of the fruit and vegetable service of the same Department.

It will ‘be the duty of the Board, the Premier said, to pass upon applications coming from the var- ious communities. A necessary re- quirementjor the passing of an application is that the farmers sf any community desiring to have _a potato warehouse constructed must first incorporate themselves under the Co-ovperative Act. They must. have a minimum membership of ten and must furnish 25 per cont of the cost of the building.

The Provincial Government will advance another 25 per cent 1nd the Dominion Government will then make an outright grant of the remaining 50 per cent provided that the building is frost proof and built to Dominion Government specifications.

The Premier said that should

the potato growers in a commun- lty where such a warehouse has been built desire to purchase the Provincla1 Government's interest in the building, the purchase can be pmmged at any time. A similar policy was in effect some years ago, under which warehouses were constructed at Elmira, Wellington and Douglas Station.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 -—-(AP)—- The United States today bolstered the defences of the Dardanelles by the transfer of four powerful 10mg- range submarines to the Turkish Navy, plus 11 other warcraft es- pecially suitable for operations in that strategic Mlddle Eastern area. This brings to 33 the number of former American war vessels as- signed this week for service with the Turkish and Greek fleets and serves as a potent reminder to Russia that it is not intended to penmit uhe Black Sea waterway to fall lmder Cormnunist control.

$1.10 13E} Cay Request iiot Unexpected

(C?) - A daily wage increase of

are included in demands submit- ted to Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation by United Mine Workers (C.C.L.) District 26, Un- ion chief Freeman Jenkins an- nounced tonight.

The $1.10 request was not un- expected as the district memrber- ship in a September referendum had given its executive s mandate to seek that amount.

The 14-point submission placed yesterday before C. M. Gordon, Dosco’: general manager of coal operations. The talks were adjourned to give Dos- co officials an opportunity to study the demands.

Present contract between the U. M.W. and Dosco expires Jim. 31. Current basic daily rate is $7.24.

The new demands apply to all members of the 13,000.-man Un-

ion “hf _ Nova Scot-ls. and New Brunswick. Though the den-minds applied

specifically to Dominion Coal Company and Old Sydney Collier- ies Lu Cape Breton and to Acadia, Coal Company and Cumberland Railway and Coal Company, Dos- co subsidiaries on the Nova Scotia mainland, they applied also to the independent operators. including those in the Minto field in New Brunswick.

Similar wage demands are being made to the independent opera- tors. who usually fall in line with Dosco, although requests dealing with working conditions may vary in different collieries.

At the i946 districyconvenirlon it was decided to seek wage in- creases of $2.50 a day. I

The Union later scaled thIF de- mand down to $1.40 a day and‘ struck for 17 weeks to back it up. From the months-long tieup the miners gained a flat boost of $1 a day and a promise of another 40 cents a day lf production were hoisted to pre-war levels, roughly 2.5 tons per man shift. Before the strike production had stood at a- bout 1,5 tons per man shi-ft. Though all pits did not hit the production target, Dosco granted the 40—cent increase and Mr. Jen- kins said the Union would do "everything possible" to dig more coal. ' With $1.40 gained —a,nd Union- management relations improved and absenteeism lowered —$l.10 still was outstanding from the original demand put forward at the 1946 district convention. Since approach of the contractis expiry date, speculation had been that the U.M.W. would ask for the remaining $1.10.

The Union also asked that a

Union shop clause be included in the new agreement.

13,000 MARITIME MINERS ASK FOR WAGE INCREASE

KENTVILLIE, N. 8., Jen. 0 - 0 -(CP) - A six-man committee of the Nova Scotia Farmers’ As- sociation today charged that the Domlnlcm Government had "sold agriculture down the river" when it. disposed of three fertilizer chemical plants to private b1131- ness at a fraction of their cost and demanded that “cartel con- troi of the industry be smashed." Their protest, in the form of a resolution, was presented at, the closing session of the Association's three-day annual convention here. Private operation of the ferti- lizer plants, built. d-urlng the war for $18,000,000 and later sold for 04.500000, was one of the major reasons for the increase in farm production costs, the resolution said.

During the war, ammonium ni- crate was produced by the Gov- ernment for 890 a. ton, but since the price had risen to $01 a ton. ~~“The MacGrbcor report on car- tels is evidence that cartel con- trol doe-s exist in the fertilizer in- dusiry and the increase in the price of ammonium nitrate, which now coals $31 a ton more than it did six'montl1s ago, 1a, we be- lieve, explainable only by a mon- opoly control.
