measure _ became law. Earlier Monday the Senate had over- ridden President Trumans veto

of the bill. The House of Repre- sentatives over-rode the Presiden- tial veto last Friday.

The bill, imposes widespread curbs on labors organizational and striking powers.

Smith told the House that the Union-curbing law. which the United Mine Workers and other Unions fought to the end. may not tnke care of a coal strike.

After many delays caused by lack of building material, work on tho extensions’ to the Charlotte- town Hospital has been started with excavation of the ground ad- joining the existing Hospital build- ing. It is e-‘Kpected to finish this part of the job within a fortnight and work will then start immed- iately on the building itself.

The contractor and supervisor is Mr. W. J. Hennessey, Charlotte- tcwn, the architects being Messrs. James Gavan. Toronto and J. E.

It is not known definitely how much extra accommodation the new building will provide, but the hospital trustees are estimating in the vicinity of eighty additional beds.

The extensions will comprise one wing. 45 by 168 feet. of three storeys and basement. running approximately east and west, with a connecting wing between this and the existing building, about 85 by 40 feet and of the same height.

Finds Dottie Message Inside Fat Mackerel

NEW HARBOR. N. S, June 24 (OPP-Fisherman Thomas Green- curn today was still puzzling over a message delivered by a nice fat mackerel.

Greencorn slit open the morsei to find therein n_ tightly-corked perfume bottle containing a note with the address: “Pte. A. Hutch- inson Hat. Co., 7th Bu."

It was believed here that Hutchinson was n romantic para- trooper. und that he dropped the bottle from a troopship in Afri- can waters.

Fisheries officials point out thiit it could have been carried to this side of the ocean by prevail- ing currents.

OTTAWA, June 34-(Speclal)- Replying to 5, request on the part of J. Watson MacNaught, Liberal member for Pritncebn the Gov- ernment's plans for a Federal building at Charlottetown, Works Minister Fcurnier formally com- mitted the government to con- struction of the building at an early date.

The question arose when the Commons was asked to pass a re- vote of $50,000 for the building, and acceding to Mr. Mat-Naught’: request. for an explanation, the Minister said:

“This is to provide for the con- struction of a new building for Post Office, Customs and other government services at Char- lottetown. The existing building which was constructed in 1884-1885 r-s totally inadequate to meet the requirements. The present build- ing will be assigned to unemploy- ment insurance and the Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce. We_ did not expend any money on this project last year. The plans have not been completed but we expect to have them within a few months and we will ask for tend- 61's."

Asked by ‘Pile Guardian this afternoon why the Commons was asked to vote only $50,000 for the Charlottetown build-lug when ‘rt obviously will cost many times this amount, W. P. Harrell Assistant Deputy Minister of ‘the Depart- ment said $50,000 wa-s ample for the preliminary work which can be done with respect to the build- ing this year.

"As the Minister said." Mr. Harrell commented. “plans for the Charlottetown building d-re not yet complete. The same is true with regard to the specifications. Now when these are ready the De- partment will cal] for tenders. At present it seems unlikely that these formalities can be conclud- ed before September or October. There is always a certain length of time consumed in awarding the contract since these contracts are very carefully looked into.

"I think you'll find that $50,000 is adequate for what we will be able to do this year. The House can increase the vote by what- ever sum it thinks fi-t in 1948 if the contract has been awarded

_and construction goes ahead."

When dram-i up the cons-truc- tic-n contract will carry a fair Wage clause and also a clause call- ing on the contractor to use local labor wherever possible. In the event of insufficient Prince Ed- ward Island labor being available the contractor will have the right to import workers from other Provinces.
