EARIIIIIG BASE Continued from page 1 one small section regarding Chen- ey's estimate of accrued deprecia- tion. I believe it would be unsafe to accept Cheney's estimate as a starting point. i suggest. as a coni- promise, instead of the i030 figure of some $280,000 which comes to 3.4 per cent, that if this had been calculated at. 2% per cent, the fig- ure of $226,403 should be taken aa of 1036. This is a safer figure. "I have no objection to future depreciation being act. at 3% per cent because it should be reason- ably large so that the company will be obliged to expand." con- cluded Mr. Campbell. Mr, MacPhee ill reply stated that. tho company wished to put "all its cards on the table" and so prepared the brief, He took mild issue with Mr. Campbell's state- ment that the company had "come across" to his way of thinking, stating that. that had been the company's stand. The Chairman interjected that that might be so had the comp- any engaged Mr. Cole ten years ago. Mr. WJ. Cole is a chartered accountant ‘with the Montreal firm of Peat, Marwash, Mitchell and Co. and gave evidence in yester- day's hearing. Mr. MacPhee stated that-the brief presented by the company is, in effect. a comproniae with its earlier position. l-le noted the only dispute arose out of the period prior to 1906. Ho announced that. the company" would itself make good the 340.000 deficiency in the reserve depreciation account. and noted that there had been no con- flicting evidence. The chairman thanked the par- ticipants for the "most. harmoni- oua" proceedings. Morning Session During the mos-hing session, Mr. Dennis Stairs. vice-president of the company. resumed his evid- ence. A discuasion arose recording the increase of consumption dur- ing the war years which. witness had stated earlier had been ‘ab- normai." Quoting frorri _ consump- tion figures submitted at the be- ginning of the session by the wit- ness, Mr. Campbell pointed out that the natural rate of doubling avely seven years showed no sign of abnormality during the war egrs, "Indeed 1 am instructed that in the period iidil-IM the increase was some 98 per cent while in the war years lm-IMD the increase was only so per cent." Mr. Stairs offered a consumption graph to which Mr. Martin tool: particular exception. He pointed out that the angle of the projec- tion for the future was determin- ed by the consumption during the depression years. "I object to such g graph as of no value," he vie- ciared. Continuing on the point. Mr. Campbell stated that the "only point. is that the new equipment should have been ordered in 190i and not just prior to the war." Answering Mr. Campbell on the matter of rural extension. Mr. Stairs said that "sttlls ent time we are barred from ex nsicn by reason of difficulties of financ- ing. But we hope to be refinanced soon and plan to carry 0119.000!!!- sion." 5's.) you wmlld anticipate com- ward Island?" asked Mr. Camp- beii.

Many Anecdotes ‘there's almost no limit to the anecdotes involving his dry hu- mor. and the subtle devices he has used to get. labor and management in a friendly mood. I-le calls these things. “establishing better oom- munloations with people." Once he was having a particu- iarly difficult time with s unloli man named Lee. during n tough negotiation. Lee was about to walk out when Ching said: "Maybe we'd ess altogether and start n- little laundry." After‘ the moment it took for all preaenf tn catch the gar. there. was a b: guffaw which re- laxed the tension and greased the way fer a successful settlement. His favorite iirle to use on a negotiator who has his dander. 11:1 is to ask him if he ever heard of "rule six" of the British Navy. That brings the. question or what rule six is, and then Cilillg telir this story: "During World War I U5. Navy Secetar-y Josephus Daniels was vis- iting British Admiral Bcatty. In their presence a captain started sounding off about how the war was being run. Beatty said to him in a sharp voice, 'Yoil are violating rule six of the British Navy.‘ That shut him up and later Daniels asked Beattv what rule six was. Beatty replied. ‘Never take your self too damn seriously‘. " Nation's Foremost Mediator Chirlg is the nation's No. 1 labor mediator for many more reasons than having n good collection of stories. He has had n key part In the most controversial piece o.' labor legislation in history. the Taft-Hartley Act. and after two veal-s still has the confidence and friendship of both labor and man- ageme ‘ leaders. Chins sums up his philosophy on labor relations in this way: “Promoting proper labor rela- tionships is nothing you can do overnight. It isn't anything you can do by law. You can set up machinery to soften the blows o! DOOpIe not inclined to get along iosether. You can pad their gloves s little. and it may be ne- oasssry to have a referee to do that. But in the last analysis 1a- bor relations begin down in the bottom department of the plant between the foreman and employ- 00. - Onhisiobssbosaoftheoon- ciliatiorl Service he says: "We cannot measure the effic- iency of a conciliation service by the number of fires it extinguisher We can measure it only by the machinery we build up to eihcour- 089 people to settle their own dis- putes. 1n other words, the test of conciliation is how few disputP= lead to strikes and how many dis- putes are settled directly by the partiu. with whatever help we can supply. My job is to contrib- utn to fire prevention." . Born In P.li.I. Ching knows the hard road of success. At i3 he took over man- agernen‘ of the Prince Edward Is- land, Canada, farm on which he was born. After a stint of fur trading and commercial fishinz. following his farming, he went t.» a (xnadian business school. Soon after graduation at l9, he took off for the big city of Boston. It has been written: "All he had'st the time. when he stfipped off the train, was a (Hillel, g copy of Brvceb "The American Commonwealth." which he had read at i4, and sol." First lob was on the Boston Ele- vated Railway Co. Not too many years later he was assistant to tho traction company's president.

IIEMAIID Continued from page l adequacy" of the Attlee program. The fourth is a motion of cen- sure by the Independent Labor group-a half-dozen left wingers ousted from the Labor Party- which objects to the mere four- per-cent slash in the outlay for defence. The leftists demanded a £400,- 000000 trimming of the arms bud- get——contrasted with the £30,000.- 000 reduction ordered- by Attlee. On Sept. 18 Britain devalued the pound from $4.03 to $2.80 (U.S.) with the object of fattening ex- port trade by the slash in the dollar value of her goods. Attlee defeated a vote of non-confidence, 350 to 212 in the battle over de- valuation Sept. 28. It equalled the biggest opposition vote in the eight times the Government llad staked its life on an issue. Devaluation, however, threaten- ed a rising tide of prices and wages which might wipe out the export advantage of devaluation and Attlee proposed to counter the threat by n slash in govern- mflit spending. i-iis program included a £280.- 000,000 ($868,000,000) reduction in expenditures for housing and con- struction, press agents, defence. medical service, food subsidies and ordinary administration. 1t also included a 8400000000 trimming of the 81.600.000.000 bill for purchases in dollar countries. The lower dollar spending seem- I ed sure to mean less raw ma- terials for the country's factories and less tobacco and sugar for the people. The program means price rises for some foods, and the first dir- act charge ever made under the IS-month-oid socialized medical service. lferetofors the tax-sup- ported servics has been free. Now l fee up to a shilling will be charged the patient when he goes to s doctor for a prescription. The slashes which hit the work- ing man and small taxpayer were for housing, food subsidies, medi- cal service and school lunches.

For Maritime Electric 0o, Following the statement of Mr. Dennis Stairs, vice-president of the Maritime Electric Company, that the company had plans for considerable extension of services in Prince Edward Island when financially possible, The Guardian interviewed company officials re- garding the specific plans. Mr. Stairs’ statement was made yesterday at the "earnings base" inquiry before the Public Utilities Commission, Mr. V. A. Ainsworth, general manager of the company stated that another steam turbine of 7,- 500 k.w. capacity was almost com- plated and was expected to be in- stalled before ihe end of the year. This addition would practically double the plant's present capa- city. “The company's budget in com- ing years calla for the laying of 1000 miles of line annually for an initial five years. provided this is financially practicable," Mr. Ains- wortll said. “When the proposed refinancing of the company is ef- fected, it will be in a position to move ahead. These are the com- pany's own plans under its own finances." In this regard, Mr. Airisworth said that the year 1949 would see an increase of 1,000 customers of the company. i ~lt is understood that the exten- sion of rural electrification is ef- fected in different Provinces in various ways. In New Brunswick, the expan- sion is totally under the govern- merit. in Nova Scotia, it is partially under government which pay the companies to take up additional expense in thinly populated areas. A co-operative expansion scheme is understood to be working out very well ln Alberta. Local rural co-operatives buy power from the power companies who build and operate lines ilndcr contract on a non-profit basis. PRIME MINISTER Continued from page i Labor Party are unhappy that. be- cause of reductions in food sub- sidies. prices to the consumer are going up. The Socialists, ioo. ttSdli-IODBII} oppose military preparedness. But their own Ernest Bevin is report- ed to have pointed out the im- portance to the Foreign Ministry of at least a minimum defence establishment to back its policies. So, whereas the general out in spending runs about eight per cent of the total budget. the de- fence cut l5 only about four per cent. The Conservative Opposition immediately tagged ' the economy program as too little and too late. The Government, often attacked for the amount it spends on pub- lic welfare services as compared with its total resources. retreated only to the point of establishing s small fee on medical prescriptions. First reaction among American observers in London was said to coincide with that of the home critics. Some food prices were go- ing up, and others were expected to follow. Yet there was a ques- tion as to whether the $868,000,- 000 saving was enough to have the desired anti-inflationary ef- feet. No matter what their general attitude toward the Socialist Gov- errimerit has been. observers here- tofore have expressed general sym- pathy for the guts the party has shown in pursuing its politically- difficult austerity program for the -British people. Now Attlee is being criticized for being more gentle vwith the Government bud- get than with the house-wife's purse. That is a particularly on- erous charga as the time before election grows shorter and short- er. The rise in the price of fish, which with bread and potatoes is the laboring man's staple, looms much larger among some classes than the dismissal of some hun- dreda of Government employees. The public construction pro- gram-housing, school building. iike—took power plants and the the heaviest part of the rap. and so now the Prime Minister can ex- pect criticism from tile hoilseless. . of the Exchequer. leads off the debate tomorrow, with a fuller ex- pianation of Government plans. With Labor holding 393 of the 040 seats in the House of Com- mons, the Government seemed bound to win in the test Thursday. As practical politicians, few Labor members seemed likely to vote against the Government.
