They took ' their "beefs" straight to Prime Minister Mackenzie King. The group urged that the Gov- ernment take drastic action to halt the rise in the cost-of-llving and to reduce existing costs. Members’ said later that Mr. King promised to draw their requests to the at- tention of the Cabinet immediately. T meeting recalled a recent caucus held by Quebec Liberal members. They, too. were critical of Government policies. One Que- bec Liberal said after that me ting that a. "certain number” of Ca met Ministers and their "bureaucratic" advisers were held "directly re. sponslble" for the C.C.F. victories in three recent Federal by-clect- ions and for the "poor show1ng"of the Liberal Party in the Ontario election. Main suggestions of the Ontario group today were to revive subsi- dies on foods and to abolish the excise taxes imposed last Novem- ber as part of the program to conserve Uiited States dollars. Afembers of the group are Louis Breithaupt, Waterloo North; ILW. Gladstone. Wellington South; Wil- liam Benldlckson. Kenora Rainy River; GE. Nixon. Alnoma West; Thomas Farquhar. Algoma East, and J.

Aian C. Ross of ttawa, Governor's Salary lnareaseilaariily Approved Dy M. P.’s OTTAWA, June 17 —(apecial)- Satisfaction was expressed by all Prince Edward Island members of Parliament today over the Prime Minister's resolution providing for an increase in salary for the Lieu:- enwnt-Govemor of Prince Edward Island from $1.000 to 08.000 s year. Prior to the great upswing inthe cost of living, comparatively little notice was taken of the disparity of the salary of Prince Edward Is- land's Lleut-Governor in relation to the salaries of lieut-governors of the other provinces. For some years past Lieut-Governor Joseph Bernard has been receiving an annual honorarium of $7,000 com- pared to $10,000 for Lieut-Govern- ors of Ontario and Quebec and $0.- 000 for those of the other six Plov- inccs. It is understood in Ottawa that the move to bring the salary of the first gentleman of Prince Ed- ward Island more on a. par with those of his colleagues across Can- ada originated with James Lester Douglas, Liberal member for Queen's with the hearty concur- rence of J. Watson MacNaught. Liberal member for Prince and Dr. 72V. Grant, Liberal member for King's. W. Chester S. McLure, Progressive Conservative member for Queen's expressed himself as heartily in favor of the salary increase resolution. Consider Next Move, lniiail Dispute ' A OTTAWA.

I Canadian - European Lumberiaeks Engage In Wild Free-For -All (By The Canadian Press) I-DORNDPAYNE. Ont, June 17- Ten persons were arrested today after a savage fight between Can- adian and European lumberjaoks near here. Four persons were rc- plorted seriously injured in the bat- e. Homepayna is about 250 miles northwest of Sudbury. The fight broke out at a bush camp several miles from town. Apart from the four seriously injured. a number of other bush workers were said to have suffered lesser hurts. Axes, shovels and knives were said to have been brought into play during the scrap. The light was said to have brok- en out during the hours of dark- ness after a number of bush work- ers had been engaged in drinking at the town. The lumberjacks were. said to have headed for a camp where the European workers were stationed. The Europeans are men who were brought to Canada. recently as dis- placed persons. Their nationality was not known immediately. The D. P.'s were on the alert for the raiders, having been fore- warned that there might be trouble. 'I‘he battle was said to have been violent. One D. P. is in hospital, along with ‘two college students who were employed by a district liuniber camp for the summer and C d,“ A . ..

P. camp. one of the cooler heads went immediately to sum- mon Provincial Pollce Constable Ed Shroeder, the only Provincial Officer in the district. The police- man called a physician and. they went to the scene together. The doctor spent a good part of the night" patching up men who had been cut and bruised badly. The more serious cases he sent to' the Red Cross hospital in Horne- payne. . One of the European bush work- ers, frightened by the advent of the mob from town, took to the bush in his bare feet and clothed only in his underwear. He was missing all night but finally re- turned safely to camp this morn- ing. ~ To cope with the situation, four extra Provincial Constables were sent here by air today and two more are en route by train. ‘The arrested men were held by police in a railway box car, direct- 1y behind the police station.
