In 17 of the unsolved crimes, persons were charged but acquitted after trial and six trials are still pending. Topping the list is the muddled Dick case which has finally sub- sided after months of trial, appeal and re-trial with the upholding of the appeal of Mrs. Evelyn Dick by the Ontario Supreme Court on grounds of improper evidence sub- mitted in the Crown's case. Mrs. Dick recently entered Kingston penitentiary on a life-sentence for the death of her baby. A recent thriller which failed to reach 'a conviction was the death of Christina Kettlewell, Toronto bride of eight days, whose body was found near the honeymoon cottage on Dinner-Time Rapids on the Severn River in Northern Ontario last spring. > Now listed by police as "unsolv- ed" is the 1942 slaying of W. M. Cunningham, Toronto private in- vestigator, and Mrs. A. Fardella, whose bullet-riddled bodies were found near an automobile on the highway near Cobourg, Ont. The case of Valair Vandebelt, 22- year-old nurse whose battered body was found not far from a cottage near Cochrane, Ont., is still in the investigation stage after a Coron- er's Jury last week ruled that the girl had been murdered by a person or persons unknown. Miners Face Punishment If They Let Britain Down By STUART UNDERHILL Canadian Press Staff Writer London, July 24--(CP) -- A threat of punishment, as yet un- defined, hangs over the British miner who by laziness or recalci- trance is impeding the country's coal production drive, Big sticks were shaken at him at the annual convention of the National Union of Mineworkers at Rothesay, Scotland. The scold~ ings were administered by union officials, Fuel Minister Shinwell and Lord Hyndley, chairman of the Coal Board, which now runs the nationalized coal industry, Would Be Failing "We as a board would be fail- ing in our duty to the country if we did not use every means at our disposal to safeguard the na- tion's supplies of coal at this cri- tical time," said the latter, '"T» introduce prosecution would be a most unpalatable de- cision, bi. failing a real alterna. tive there would be no other course open to us." Shinwell said 90 per cent of British coal miners were pulling their weight under the new five- day-week, but due to stoppages and disputes production had be- gun to fall off two weeks after it was introduced May 1, Lack of Appreciation "In some areas there is a lack of appreciation of the tremendous economic and social issues invol- ved," he said. "If there are men in the mining industry, or offi- cials, who are not ready to play bal, they have got to be dealt with in the most drastic fashion, because the nation cannot afford any monkey-tricks." Miners' leaders accepted the responsibility, president Will Lawther declaring: 'Take what. ever steps are necessary, because nobody is more sick than we are of those people who provide the most absurd and ridiculous alibis for their conduct and actions." Kept Waiting Hyndley told the conference Britain was being kept waiting for the coal it had a right to ex- pect because "in many parts of the coalfields we are meeting with apathy and in some in- stances reistance to our attempts to get tasks we assessed. The re- sulting delay , , . means that the five-day week agreement is not yet being fully honored. "Fewer men are now working the number of shifts they worked in May. The result is that output has fallen, "The current weekly rate is about 100,000 tons less than in the weeks following the introduc- tio. of the five-day week. We ar2 failing to justify the five-day we>k as a reasonable reform in existing circumstances." Coal Target The coal production target was a ninimum 200,0°9,000 tons. Up to mid-July less than 4,000,000 tons had been produced toward 11,000,000 tons required in ex- cess of last year's output to reach that goal.

United Textile Workers union with its own Textile Workers' Union of America. The AF.L. union has a contract with the Monarch Knitting Company which expires in Septem- ber. The company previously served notice that it is cancelling the agreement and will not negotiate with either union until it is clearly shown which union has the majority. Mr. Harvey said last night a re- fusal to negotiate now is a breach of contract because the agreement calls for negotiations by July 12. Explaining his intervention, he stated he had been informed the management was unfriendly to the AFL. union's officers and he felt the delay in opening negotiations was evidence of "this apparent pre- Jjudice." Mr. Markon declared tonight that he is not prejudiced against the AFL. union and was ready to nego- tiate with it as soon as it is proven the union has a majority. U. Nationale Takes Quebec By-Election Huntingdon, Que., July 24--(CP) --The Union Nationale government of Premier Maurice Duplessis boast- ted an unbroken string of five by- election victories today as a result of the triumph by John Rennie, an insurance agent, in the balloting in the Huntingdon constituency yes- terday. Rennie, who served overseasas a major in the last war, captured the seat by a margin of 726 votes over Mrs. Mae O'Connor, first woman to seek a place in the Provincial Leg- islature and widow of the man who had won the riding for the Liberals in the general election of 1944 and a by-election in 1941. Rennie's victory over the Liberal candidate left the standing in the 91-seat Legislative Assembly as fol- lows: Union Nationale 52; Liberals 33; Bloc Populaire 2; Independent 3; Vacant 1. The only open seat is that of Montreal-St. Louis, vacated when Liberal Maurice Hartt ran and won in the Montreal Cartier Federal by-election some months ago. Rennie took the lead from the first. Although his margin was never large he was always in front and a Liberal party spokesman con- ceded the Union Nationale victory when results from 28 of the 36 polls had been reported. A high percentage of the eligible voters cast their ballots. votes num- bered 6,080 against a total of 7,369 possible. Bracken Hits At Budget Ottawa, July 24 -- (CP) -- John Bracken, leader of the Progressive Conservative party, last night said that the 1947 budget "has resulted in raising the cost of living for us all, and in perpetuating all the in. direct taxes on the poor as well as on the rich." In an address prepared for deliv- ery aver a national network on the CBC'S free-time political series, Mr. Bracken said that "in the case of more than half of those who pay income tax, the cost of living has already increased more than the total tax reduction proposed for this year." "To the great mass of people who do not pay income tax, there has been no relief whatever," he stated. "Taxation today is 300 per cent higher than it was before the war." The government's handling of the problem of Dominion-Provincial re- lations also came under Mr. Brack- en's fire. He claimed that the gov- ernment's mismanagement of the problem 'is costing the Canadian people $90,000,000 a year in order to centralize the main taxing powers' of the nation at Ottawa. Mr. Bracken also stated that his party is in favor of Senate reform, with the period of office set for a specific term of years, and proposed tnat consideration should be given ¢ | to having some Senators chosen by the provinces instead of being political appointments of a" Domin- ion party leader." Oil, Newsprint Deal | With Argentina Works Ottawa, July 24--(CP)--Oil and newsprint supplies are moving at a "nice rate" between Canada and Argentina under an exchange agree- ment reached by the two countries last winter, trade department offi- cials said last night.

Campbell, chairman of the board of the Ford Motor Company of Canada Ltd. is a brother. on a peace settlement for Japan. Some officials said the major ques- tion now facing the United States and other governments interested in early progress on the Far Fast peace settlement is whether they should go ahead with a "separate peace" -- this is, a treaty without Russia, Legality Questioned But there is a question whether this could be done legally. While an interpretation remains to be worked out, some authorities recalled that as early as the United Nations declaration of January, 1942, the United States, Britain, Russia and ofher major nations at war with the Axis pledged themselves "not to make a separate armistice or peace with the enemies." Russia was not then at war with Japan, so it is a question whether the pledge would be considered leg- ally binding in the present situation. The United States had proposed July 11 that 11 states, including the great powers, should meet at Wash. ington or San Francisco to organize the treaty drafting. A major point of the proposal was that the coun- tries work under a system of deci- sions by two-thirds vote--a proce- dure which would deny any one country the right of veto. Soviet Contentions In rejecting the proposal yester- day the Soviets contended: 1. That the Japanese peace treaty, like the European treaties, should be worked out in the first instance by the Foreign Ministers Council of the great powers of the Far East-- the United States, Britain, China and Russia. (The great powers in Europe are the Big Three plus France.) This procedure would restore the veto because under the Council's operation unanimity is required on all decisions. 3. That the United States acted & hg "unilaterally" by initiating propos- als for a Japanese peace conference without going through Council of Foreign Minister channels. This amounted to an accusation that the United States government was deliberately breaking establish. ed rules for peace making, The Soviets, in fact, argued that the precedents and procedures had been laid down in the whole series of wartime conferences at Potsdam and elsewhere, . To Investigate Japanese Claims Ottawa, July 24--(CP)--State Seas retary Gibson announced yesterday that Mr, Justice Henry Irvine Bird of the Supreme Court of British Columbia has been appointed commissioner under the ¥ Act to investigate claims of loss by Japanese-Canadians who were evads uated from British Columbia prow tected areas during the war.
