Obvious Effort To Head Off Possible Fines

By John B. Owe!

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 —(AP)— John L. Lewis late today ordered his soft coal miners to stop their outlawed strike in an obvious of‘- fort to bead off possible OOhtEmpf.» of-oourt fines.

But the first reaction from the big eastern production areas in the

United States raised doubts whether there would be all-out compliance.

“Return to work without delay ...foi- the protection and welfare of our union and all its members." thc United Mine Workers ohleftain ivired thc 370,000 men wiho walked Out Monday in defiance of a, fed- eral court order forbidding a strike.

If they comply, it willl restore production Monday morning just

as Federal Jud-go Richmond B. Kee-oh opens court to decide whether to turn his IO-day re- -

straining order into a. full-fledged 80-day injunction against a strike under provisions of the Taft-Hart- ley labor law.

The day brought talk of a cori- tctnipt of court petition against U. ‘MW-and perhaps an attempt to seize the mines.

President Truman will get a full report tomorrow from his repre- sentatives at contract negotiations between Lewis and soft coal. oper- atcrs.

Together with his telegrams. Lewis gave out a statement he was sending to the locals and members declaring the union lead- ershtipis in/tention to "comply in complete good faith with the anti- strike order." He also pledged compliance with another restrainer which Keeoh has slapped on tihe union. The latter directed Lewis not to insist. on four contract do mands which the judge consider- cd probably illegal under the Taft- Hartley Act.

The Lewis statement, apparently designed to help bolster the union's case in court if necessary. told the miners that the operators have blocked a new agreement with "ob- structive tactics."

Makes Some Progress

The third day of enforced negot- iations between Lewis and the 0p- ermiors (Keech had told them to got busy), was reported to have brought "some progress."

‘I'm.- strikes effects bore down heavier on other industries.

Here's are the day's highlights:

l. More lay offs in steel and railroading swelled the num- ber of idle in allied industries to at least 42.000.

2 The fourth largest steel producer in line United Staites, Jones andLaughliu Steel Cor- poration. said it will have to halt production at two district plants within o. week unless the (oal situation is relieved. The shutdown would atffoot 211.000 1119R-

3. Virginia gave Governor‘ John S. Battle power to seize and operate cceil mines.

4. Retail ooal dealers com- plained they are on “the brink of bankruptcy and ruin."

5. New York, under ration- ing orders, decreed a brownoruit Sunday night for clcctric Bid- verlisihg displays.

OTTAWA, Feb. I7 — (CP) - A fact-finding committee on old- age pensions will be set up at the current session of Parliament.

Health Minister Martin gave no- tice today that the committee, including members of both the Commons and Senate, will be giv- en power to explore the whole field of old-age pensions.

Ii. is expected the Federal Gov- crnment will plot its Pension! course on the basis of informa- tion and recommendations provid- ed by the committee.

Specifically it will b: charged with:

l. Considering how far Can- ada can go in expanding its pension scheme.

2. Examining pensions legis- lation of other countries with the view to possibly adopting some of the better features.

8. Considering practical prob- lems involved in abolition of the means test or setting up pension! on a contributory basis.

4. Taking a look at the pol- liblc constitutional difficul- ties in mending precast leg- islation. ft wu learned the Government

committee available by the time the Provinces and Dominion gath- er next fall for a conference on fiscal matters.

Sources close to the Govern- ment say the committee will serve a useful-purpose beyond its fact- finding job. It ll expected to edu- cate the people on the costs and problems of increasing old-age pensions.

The Government's big hope is known to be that i050 may wind up with general agreement on the details of an improved pen- sion program.

At present the pnsion il $40 basic a month at 70 with the means teat. The $40 is divided on the basic of the Federal Gov- ernment contributing $80 and tho Province $10. Some Provinces are paying bonuses.

Tha present cost of the coun- try Is a whole is $135,000,001) a year of which the Fcdc al Gov- ernment pays about $1 ,000,000 These figures covet some 277.000 old-age pensioners and 10,000 blind pensioners.

Removal of the means teat would bring in the remainder of the 625,000 people in Canada who are over 70. The addition to present cost would be $106,000,000.

OTTAWA, Feb. 17—-(Speciai)— From an ordinary Canadian city concerned chiefly with such mat- ters as garbage collection and snowfighting, Ottawa has sprung swiftly this week to a centre seething with political activity. Members of Commons and Senate clicked back to sessional routine as effortlessly o5 though a mere week-end hod elapsed since pro- rogation last December 10.

In the appendix of the first day's l-Iansard of the new session is printed additional correspon- dence between Prime Minister St. Laurent and the Premiers of the I0 Provinces on the Dominion- Provinclal constitutional pariey. In the light of this correspondence, it is clear that Prince Edward 1s- iand Premier Walter Jones has other things on his mind besides constitutional issues. In his latest communication with Ottawa on Dominion-Provincial relations, Mr. Jones wrote:

"I cannot determine whether or not you will discuss a new tax agreement at that conference, but in any case our Province will be

Post-opening receptions held by Speakers of House of Commons and Senate were jam-packed with guests of which an estimated 20 per cent were gate-crashers. In view of the increasing crowds at these functions, Commons Speaker Ross MacDonald transferred the scene of his hospitality from the Speaker's apartment to the out- sizo railway committee room. Even in this huge rectangle the crowd pushed, pulled and shoved to get to the punch-bowls and light re- freshments.

Market Opened in Israel

For island Seed Potatoes

I .

l A Prince Edward Island seed‘ potato market has been opened!‘ up in Israel, and Island potato} growers are at present shipping 80 carioads of seed potatoes to the Ncar Eastern country by way of‘ Halifax it was learned from MT.‘ E. D. Rcid, manager of the P.E.f.. Potato Grows-rs Association last‘ night. . "From all information rccciv-I ed." stated Mr. Rcid, "it is avid-i eat that a permanent market for; Prince Edward Island sccd may, be obtained ill thc Eastcrn Med- iierreanan area."

Earlier inquiries from the Near

East indicated, he said, that the total purchase of seed would amount to five or six hundred

carloads this year but duo to cur- rency restrictions they are only able to provide enough dollars for sixty cars.

The potatoes exported are of the Sebago and Katahdin varic- iics. but the Government of Israel has also asked for samples of several other varieties groivn to a limited extent on the Island such as the Pontiac, Houma, War- bo and Scquoias.

Inquiries about Prince Edward Island scod viere also received from the Iberian countries, Spain and Portugal. These countries, however, purchased American po- tatocs at the give-away prices oft one cont per hundred pounds.

Currency Question Discussed

In connection with the cur-l rency restrictions. Mr. Reid stat-i ed that the possibility of receiv- ing the pound sterling in pay-y merit for potatoes was fully in- vestigated at the Horticultural Council meeting in Ottawa, from which he returned last night.

From the Department of Trade and Commerce it was learned that the Canadian Government would allow the acceptance of the pound sterling and guarantee this amount but it was found that the British Government would not rc- lease the money and obligate themselves to a debt they might

have to pay. Mr. Reid reported that other outlets for seed potatoes were

fully explored but the possibili- ties for markets were remote.
