(Applause). Mr. D. J. Mullin, Saint Peters. regretted there was no definite proposal before tha meeting. The problem was too big to be settled here today. He agreed with pre- vious speakers that it is a matter l for the Dominion Government, Mr, Myers’ suggestion to Premier Jones was very good. but that would just settle the trouble at the local plant. There is another concern doing business at Moncton, to which our Livestock Marketing Board ship most of their hogs. If Mr. Myers’ suggestion were fol- lowed, it would throw all the bus. iness of the Province into the hands of Canada Packers‘ plant in Charlottetown. Voice: "A good place for itl" M-r. Mullin: “lt might be a good place, but it would throwing the Whole buSiness of our hog in- dustry into one hands. I guess Premier Jonas hesitated before taking that step, of lust solving the matter in Charlottetown with- out any consideration of the strik- es elsewhere. I don't think we ought to urge that upon the Pre- mier, because lt would only be a VERY temporary way of dealing with it." With regard to the War Meas- ures Act, Mr. Mullin said that when you lay down the principle that the Dominion should enter the Provincial field, then you have nationalization of the coun- try's businessHThat means sociol- ism. The time has come when we must revolutionise our ideas; he could see no other remedy. What- ever party is in power in the fut- ure, economic necessities will compel them to takel measures that we never dreamed of fifty Offered Suggenlon “I thought it would be a fino gesture on the part of the Pre- mier and the Provincial Govern- ment if they would call represen- tatives of Canada Packers and of Labour to a joint meeting in the Premier's Office, and talk things over as gentlemen having a dif- ference of opinion. I further lug. seated that the Premier request illB men t0 go back to the plant tomorrow morning and go to work, andlie would guarantee every cent‘ coming to them by reason of the Canada-wide settlement that will eventually be made." Mr. Myers figured that if the workers received 2o cents an hour increase. it would only amount to about $90 or $100 a day.

"The way the Premier wanted us to go back to work was for 60 cents In hour, and the Government would give us 60 cents per hdg. That brought it Ulp to about ‘l0 cents an l hour. Tihen Mr. Large suggested everything settled, you can give us back the money.” Asked whether they were in a position to accept ihls offer. Mr- Jones said he could not answer the ‘question at present. Nor could he say what attitude would be taken by Canada Packers. He urged farmers to get behind the local workmen. “when we worker"; for Davie and Fraser's, we got 50 cents an hour but we were treated,as men,” he said. "Canada Packers want i2 hours work out of eight. ‘They want 46 ihouns out of 40. Ii you can't do it, out you g0." Given Credit In striking. the workers had "shown Prince Edward Island‘ 11D." he said. One man who had 511118111 for them, and to whom he wished to give credit, was Hon. Dr. Mac- Millam, leader of the Opposition. He knew the strike hac- placed the farmers in a bad predicament. but the issue was even more vital to the workmen. "It is life and ‘death for us. We can't work on ‘starvation wages," he said. “ilhe isoonor you put pressure on the packers and make them come to terms, the quicker we will 80 balck to work." Vodce: “How many members in your union?" Mr. Jones: "Seventy." Voice: "And you are holding the wlhoile Island up?" Mr. Jones said there was no rea- son iwhy tlhe farmers wouldn't or- ganize too.

It seemed that they were "up against a stone wall." as neither side could act on their own responsibility.

Mr. MacDonald ls a son of Capt. John A. MncDonalu, 38 Dorchester Street and a nephew of Chief Engineer Howard Leslie MacDonald of the 0.6.3 Brant. a. resolution. Mr. Phillip Matheson, M.L.A., said ii was generally agreed that the packing houses are not play- ing fair with the labouring men. “Perhaps we need a Utilities Board set up to really find out where all the differential between profit and ivages goes." he said. "My idea is along the_lines of Mr. McNeilVs suggestion of a public abattoir; but that would talce a. great deal of mOllCy. Is it not‘ possible for us to set up a tempor- | ary slauqiiicr house and cooling plant in order to get those hogs] to the domestic markets in the hiziritimes. where they could be‘ consumed? l an Art that l‘€i|iill'CS inspection; but tho farmer himself can ship, hogs to Sidney and other Marl-y time points.

We would not be taking a crack so much at labor as at the packing plairts. ll they 53w we could gel our hogs marketed without them. llefllillh- thcy would talk business." Mr. W. R. Show, Deputy Minis- ter of Agriculture. reviewed the situation briefly, stating that in‘ his opinion ihc only real solution. would he the setting up of Fed-l erai machinery to deal with the problem on a national basis. Ho was n-iurh impressed by the pres- entation marie by the local work- ers. "I think "they are entitled to a little better consideration than they are getting at the present time," he said. He noted. in a financial report. that one packing firm had made over $2,000.000 net profit last year, and out of each sales dollar hand- led by this company, eighty cents was involved iii materials that the farmers produced or supplied to the business. Only about B cents was invoivccl in labor charges. "Here is a group of farmers concerned to the extent of 80 per cent 0f a business, filld they have nothing to say about a strike set- tiement. If that does not mean that the farmers should organize more than they have been doing, l don't know what it means." Even if lilo strike is settled to- morrow, Mr. Show added. it is go- ing to rnczin a recession in hog production in this Province. Mon‘ who have had 15 to 25 young sucker pigs are getting out of the business as quickly as they can. Every citizen oi the Province will be the loser, he predicted. Urges lie-drafting Mr. Myers maintained that in view of the attitude of the D0- minlon Government in disclaim-I ing responsibility, it would be useless passing the proposed reso- lution urging them to action. The resolution, he said, should be directed to the Provincial Gov- ernment, which could then join with the other Provinces in un-‘ animously requesting the Domind ion to take over. iThis proposal was not adopted, and the resolu- tion paased as drafted).

Vishinsky sidestepped questions on this issue. Vishinsky-as in his first speech on the subject Sept. 1B before th»: U. N. General Assembiy—-took the line that a number of U.S. in- stltution. corporations, “monopol- ist capitalists," publications and Government officials were at- l tempting to propagandize for a war with Russia. In a IO-page statem nt read to the correspondents, ishinsky sharply criticized such diverse per- sonaliiies as John Foster Dulles and Warren Austin, United States delegates to U. N.; Hector McNeil. head of the British delegation; illiam C. Bullltt, former U. S.' bassador to Russia; newspaper publisher Frank Gannett and goa- sip columnist Walter Winchell. The long prepared statement- read in Russian and translated into Fmglish-formed the major portion of the press conference- which at 2% hours was the long- est in U. N. history.

Mr. l. liowatt maintained that the Province could not exproprlate in this case, as it would be inter- fering with intorprovincial trade. Mr. Mullin said the Government might have the power. but it would be a drastic step. "No Gov- ernment ever did the like before and it would be unreasonable to ask them."
