The morning session opened at l0 o'clock and was featured by an address by Premier J. Walter Jones in which he illustrated the part Government and Government regulations played in the llfe of each individual. It was an inter- eslillg and unique talk closely followed by all present. The Premier who ls well versed in fox farming, being the author of a treatise on the subject and one of the first to recognize the rm pedigree plays in the produc- tion of prize foxes, was deeply concerned over the status of the industry today. He showed graph]. (ally the handicap inflicted on the producer and retailer by Excise and Sales Tax and strongly urged the meeting to press for their re. moval. Reports Discussed First business of the morning was the submission of’ the annual report and the financial statement both of which had been passed by the directors the previous day. These reports were well scrutin- ized by Dr. J. J. Glllis, Merritt, B. C., formerly of this Province who criticized a number of aspects cf the fur marketing policies and more particularly the Dominion financing plan and the grading. Others defended these and clear- ed-up some points which the Doc- tor and many others present had not been previously familiar with. All the speakers acknowledged that the industry was ln s had way and that the Dominic-n Grad- ing prices do not hy any means compensate the producer for the money expended in raising pelts. This discussion was also taken part in by Ken Taylor. D. O. Stewart, Thos. Carruthers, L. K. Lockerby and Col. D. A.

G. F. Cli-rlgan of the export div- ision of the department, author of the article, points out that of the total of 11,000,000 bushels of certified seed produced in Canada last year 3,243,637 bushels valued at $6,259,922 were exported to foreign countries. Prince Edward Island certified seed potatoes, Mr. Gilligan states. are purchased from Ivlaine lo Florida in the east and from Ore- gon to Texas in the west. Great bulk of’ the Canadian export of the 1,818,000 bushels shipped to the United States were from Prince Edward Island. The Argen- tine market for Canadian certi- fied seed last year, it is stated. was supplied chiefly from New Brunswick which shkppecl Kal- ahdlns, variety favored both by Argentine and Uruguay. Other foreign markets for Can- ada's certified seed, it 1s noted, include South American and Ca- rlbbean countries and British south Africa. Chief criticism of Canadian seed in the export market is that. there is insufficient classification according to size and that sizes are mixed with too heavy a per- centage of the la e sizes, Mr. Olin/gen says.

In a 2,500-word statement, Mr. Howe reviewed the national coal picture, touching ilpon supply, labor, production and manage- ment problems. before introducing the enabling bill, which met with general approval and later given first reading. In brief. he warned that the Maritime coal industry was head- lng for "disaster" unless its prob- lems were quickly so-lved but. felt that the mines of Saskatchewan. Alberta and the southeast corner of British Columbia faced a bright future. "The coal fields of Van- couver Island. a special problem, needed a. reorganization produc- tion program. The new board will take over the functions of the existing Do- minion Fuel Board as well as re- cords of the wartime coal fro].

Seaman's Strike Is Tightening Grip NEW YORK, June 1'l—(A1’)— An embargo was imposed today on all rai-l freight shipments destin- ed for American ships in United States ports and selling of the liner America was poltponed as the two-day sit-down of C. I. O. seamen tightened its grip on the country's maritime commerce. Shippers across the country were ordered by the American Associa- tion of Railroads to send no more consignments to United States ihlps in east, west and gulf cont ports. . The A.A.R. said th embargo would prevent clogging of the ports and undue detention of freight cars needed elsewhere. George Randall, the Associa- tion's manager of port trsffl-c here, explained the action would not tie up all overseas _shlpments since more than half of Ameri- can outbound cargo is handled in foreign bottoms. A similar embargo wu put into , _ crght months ago. The United states lines set Fri- day is a new tentative sailing Late for the America. Joseph Curran, N.M.U. president sent. lo President Truman and other high officials telegrams de- clerimg that the seamen were “locked out by the shlpowners” and adding: "The arrogant refusal of ghipowners lo bargain in good faith with our Unions demon- strates clearly that they rely on the the hit-Hartley Bill to destroy the labor movement." Operators here have labelled the stoppage a "pure. simple, un- adulterated stl-ikc." Government officials in Wash- ington said no shipment of grain or coal for Eilrope had been de- layed so far in the maritime dis- pute, but coal shipments to New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore would he allowed only if there was assurance that the vessel for which the coal was destined would effect in the 1940 maritime strike not be tied up.
