Thus Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell, Q. C. began the argument on ques- tions of law in the application for mandamus of Local Union Number 1432 of the international Brother hood of Electrical Workers against the Town of Summerslde which operates a power station serving the town and an area of ten miles around it. The union asks the court to compel the Town to recognize it as the bargaining agent for its members. The issue of law is argued before Mr. Justice G. .l Tweedy in Charlottetown before trial of any issue of fact. Mr. E. H. Strong, Q. C. is as- sociated with Mr. Campbell for the Town, defendant.

The Town, however. do. ellned to recognize it as such. its own Act of Incorporation.

Covers Prince Edward Island Like the Dew Canada New W Officials here anticipate the im- porters will stage conference man- oeuvres to chop prices and get more wheat for less money. They said Canada may not be willing to go as far as importers would like in price reductions, but that the Canadian government would be prepared to compromise on prices if it means a new long-term pact. Britain, the world's biggest heat buyer, walked out of negtr iaiions for the current pact in 1953 because of a fivs-cent-a- bushel price difference.

The 47 member countries and other! who may wish to join will meet in Geneva possibly Oct. 26 to begin pre- liminary bargaining on a new pact to replace the current three-year IWA which expires next July. the U. S. announced cuts. The current Canadian price for No. 1 northern at the Lakehead is 81.15 a bushel. Britain has argued that while she was in the pact, the price tended to float near the ceiling and she depends heavily on im- ports for her bread. Her decisions at the Geneva conference will be vital for undoubtedly she will be the main bargaining agent for be importers.
