Mr. Justice Patrick Kerwin of the Supreme Court of Canada lis- tenad to three hours of argument Saturday and promptly ruled that he Board had power to hear the application. His decision simlutaneously re- jected arguments of seven of the nine Provinces that they should be allowed to appeal to the lull court and lifted the hearing itself over its first major legal obstacle. The challenge to the Board's jurisdiction grOSs- in the first days of g. hearing which is expected to take months and which involves an increase which would. if grant- ed. jump annual revenues of the country's two major railroads by some 885,000,000. The hearing will resume Monday. Mr. Justice Kerwin. in his ruling said he was satisfied that sect/m 33 of the Railway Act alone. setting out the broad powers of the Board on what can be sanc- tloned and what is required to be done, was sufficient.

Feb. l6—-(Speclal)— From Prime Minister King's suite of offices in the east block and from opposition leader John Bracken’; headquarters here, worn went, out this week-end to party whips to “crack down" on ab- senteeism in tiieHc-use of Comi- mons. And this time the party chief- tains don't mean maybe. Ab- senteeism of Ontario and Quebec members on Friday's has jeopard- ized the government's voting strength on the ons hand, and caused the opposition efforts to look feeble on the other. Chief Liberal whip W. G. Gib Weir has been plainly instructed to "get tough" l necessary with persistent absentee: of his party. This can mean loss of preferment or favors to the constituency of the member concerned. More than that it can mean loss of the party backi-ng in the next election. Similar instructions have been given from Progressive Conserva- tive headquarters to party whip A. C. Casselman. It has even been suggested that two younger Pro- gressive Conservative members, E. D. Fulton of Kamloops who rc- centiy spoke at Charlottetown. and D. M. Fleming of Toronto be bracketed with Mr. Casaelman in the task of keeping the Prog- Cons. hi their seats when they are needed in the chamber. Almost Wholesale Reason for the edict against absenteeism was the almost wholesale absenteeism of members on Friday afternoon. When Col. C. C. Merritt, V.C..

Feb. l6- (OP) Eleventh-hour negotiations for settlement of the Maritime coal W186 dispute broke down here Sat- urday, and a general strike of 13.000 miners was under way in the Mari- time coalfields tonight. The walkout-halting half off Canada’; coal production - came after Union and company repre- sentatives failed to come to wrec- ment at a conference staged by the Government a few hours be- fore a. Saturday midnight deadline set for the “no contract-no work" strike. The negotiations collapsed over the issue of how $1 of a SIAO-a-day raise for the miners was to be granted. The United Mine Workers of America rejected the principle that the $1 boost should be Pill: into effect gradually on the basis of increased productiun-per-mazi. Proposed originally by Dominion Coal Company - which employs the bulk of the Maritime miners- this type of raise was endorsed by a Federal conciliation commlslooi- or and was laid before the confer- ence by the Government. But it was not poslble, Labor Minister Mitchell said later in a statement. to "find a basis q; com- promise between the conflicting positions of the parties." It was understood the SI-a-clay point was the only issue that was in deadlock. There was no clash over the other 40 cents of the pr.»- posed raise. or on that of a three- ceaits-a-ion contribution sought by the miners for» their welfare fund.

Feb. 16-tCP)—Can- adians with an eye on the higher salary brackets in the United States might do well to figure out cost-of-living differences before they pack their bags and head south. _ For a. dollar will still stretch farther in this Dominion than in the U. 5.. according lo a scientif- cally-conducted prices board aur- vcy of comparative prices in the two countries. The survey is cxpcctcd lo assist the board in its decisions on what controls should remain and what controls mould be abandoned. Briefly. the survey found this: Food in Canada is substantially cheaper. Clothing is actually n- bout the same price in both countries. Furniture is slightly lower in Canada and there is not much difference in kitchenware. The average Canadian house- wife who wakes up in the morn- ing to pay the miikman will find herself shelling out l2 to i6 cents a quart in Canada compared with I1 to 28 cents in the U. S. The survey touched almost ov- erything except rents. 1t showed that a bar of toilet soap is five cents cheaper in Canada. and a $872 chesterflcld suite in Soattlt- will sell for approximately $145 less in Vancouver. But if it‘s nylons you're after, they're from 40 to 50 cents cheaper in the US. The board last month surveyed some 50 representative food. clo- thing and household goods items in representative Canadian and U. S. cities. comparing prices in Vancouver and Seattle. Winnipeg and Minneapolis. Toronto ant-l Ottawa. Detroit. Cleveland and Svracuse. and Montreal and Bos- ton. While ihcro is little difference in prices of clothing in the two countries, the report disclosrtl that "prices south of the bordr-v. particularly for cottons. are nor- mitllv well below our own." ‘it added that this "points up the strategic position of tho cotton textiles subsidlos in maintaining Canadian ceiling prior-s out of rc- lation to normal prices in tho U"iicd States."
