WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1948 \ ew THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE "= PACE THREE 241 Babies 'Exported' From Alberta, --® 2 4 Drew And Oliver Talk To Electors On Campaign Trips Toronto, May 12 (CP)--First steps toward establish- ment of a university at the hea last night by Premier Drew. In the opening address of d of the lakes were announced his Ontario election campaign tour, the Premier said at Port Arthur that the newly- established Lakehead Technic al Institute will be raised this fall to the status of a junior university. It will offer courses corresponding to those given in the first year at other universities. Farquhar Oliver, Ontario Liberal leader, in an election speech said at Galt that if elected June 7, a Liberal government would not "pre- sume" to tell anyone which union he should join. He said every worker should be able to make up his mind concerning joining a union "as he thinks will best en- hance his future." Premier Drew declared that since the Progressive Conservative party took office it has lived up to all 22 points in its platform and many more, He criticized what he called "loose amendments" put forward by Liberal, C.CF. and Labor-Pro- gressive opposition groups in the legislature in efforts to change labor legislation. He charged the groups sought to appeal to emotion and not to common. sense and said amendments- of that sort could not be accepted by the government be- cause they were not properly inte- grated with the first part of the legislation. ge said the government had adopted the principle of every major recommendation in last year's Ontario Forestry Commis- sion report. ) "If this government is given a mandate June 7, our children and our children's children will see the great forests of Ontario undimin- ished in the years ahead." ; The Premier's 4,000-mile tour will take him through Fort William, Port Arthur, Kenora and Fort Frances, then to Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury and North Bay, north to Haileybury, Kirkland Lake, Tim- mins and Cochrane, across to the Ottawa valley and finally into Southwestern Ontario. ; Mr. Oliver pledged that the Lib- eral party, if elected, would in- crease workmeh's compensation payments to 75 per cent from 66% per cent of the worker's wages, would reduce the waiting time for compensation payments and would see that the 20-per-cent amusement tax is dropped when the levy Is lifted by the federal government. (The Ontario government plans to continue it to help meet hos- pital costs.) . "A Liberal government would en- able hospitals to meet their finan- cial obligations and discharge their responsibilities without having to obtain revenue through 'nuisance' tazes such as the amusement tax," said Mr. Oliver. He charged that Premier Drew tried to "pass over" the hydro ques- tion as an election issue. Liberal speakers on several occasions have accused the administration of mis- handling hydro development, there- by bringing about power shortages and "blackouts." fad 18 A --"™.Y NW Police Guard Ship Against Rival Seamen By W. R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, May 12 -- (CP) -- The job of lightering the stranded freighter Hants County went smoothly ahead today, but the op- erataion was watched by police to guard against a renewed flare-up of inter-union rivalry. There was no indication of an- [other brawl between Canadian Sea- men's Union craw members of the Hants County and their bitter rivals aboard the lake freighter Barrie whose crew are members of the Canadain Lake Seamen's Union. The brief exchange of fisticuffs caused a flurry of excitement along the waterfront as indications pointed to a possible full-scale battle between the rival factions and their supporters. But the ten- sion eased Tuesday night. The Barrie was at anchor alongside the Hants County. Her holds were slowly filling with iron ore transferred fmm the Nova Scotia-owned deep-sea ship by the giant crane of the lighter. The Barrie's crew of 25, aug- mented by 12 husky reinforcements when an emergency call went out, stood. idly by. The last of the Hants County crew of 43 went ashore at their own request Tuesday night aboard a tug, They lined up to be paid off today. A salvage crew will take over temporarily when the ship is re- floated. The crawl that interrupted the lighter was brief, but reminiscent of the more serious outbreak re- cently between the bitter union rivals in great lakes waters. It was reported that eight police- | men, four members of the harbor | police, two men of the provincial | force and another two R.C.M.P. men, remained aboard the Barrie to keep watch in case of further violence. | The fight broke out when the | | ships were side by side and lighter- ing operations had scarcely begun. | Only 40 tons of the 8700-ton iron | ore cargo had been transferred to | the Barrie. The Hants County crew sudden- | ly jumped over the side onto the lighterin gscow, yelling taunts at | their. CL.S.U. rivals on the Bar- | Mr. Oliver said Mr. Drew dropped discussion of hydro "like a hot potato" and now was trying to focus attention on immigration | plans. | "The real issue is the whole ad- | ministrative record of the Tory governmen' since 1943," he added.

Party Provincial .and Federai C.C.F. candidates, T. D. "Tommy" Tho- mas and Arthur Williams, last night told members of the Oshawa and District Tabor Council that "or. | ganized labor would be in for a tough time" if the existing Liberal | and Conservative governments were | returned to power. Mr. Thomas declared organized | labor in the coming election had a | job to do since they represented the greatest majority of voters. His words were echoed by Mr. Wiillams who was elected to the provincial | house on a C.C.F. ticket in 1943. ! "Any job that was ever required ! by workers to be done," Mr. Wil- lilams said, "was done by nobody but workers." Pointing out that all the manufactured wealth in Can- ada was produced by the workers, he referred to the current United States government railway injunc- tion imposed to keep the trains running "because the executives and shareholders cannot operate them." He said the 70-odd years oi Lib. eral and Conservative government had reuited .n nothing for labor. ! Legislation was being prepared even now for the formation of company unions and to take away the right te strize. Elections, he warned, were too infrequent to miss this op- portunity of "returning labor men te represent labor people. Long en- have the Tories and Liberals show the way."

Produce Cost High Profits Under Probe Ottawa, May 12 -- (CP) -- In- creased whclesale profits on vege- tables and fruits since the govern- ment's import restrictions went in- to effect last November will be further explored today by the Prices Committee. The committee Tuesday examined financial records of the Ontario Produce Co., one of the largest To- Tonto wheclesalers," and questioned the firm's general manager, R. D. Weclfe, son of the president. Mr. Wolfe agreed with the com- mittee's counsel, Fabio Monet, that his firm's increased profits during the last few months had been ob- tained on a smaller volume of busi- ness and that they were substan- tial. His financial records showed the | company's net profit in 1947 was three | $69,000. During the first months of this year, it was $42,- { 000. The company's gross profit. on sales was 5 3/10 per cent in 1939. By 1947 it had risen to 9 4/5 per cent and for the first three months of this year was 15 per cent. Mr. Wolfe's outline of his firm's improved position led to an ex- change with Jean Lesage (L-Mont- who said . that if the present economic system is to survive, wholesalers should con- fine themselves to their "usual" profits. Mr. Lesage asked possible and sell for as much as it Were | could get. Mr. Wolfe said it sold for the market price but later agreed that this involved selling for "as much as the law of supply and demand allows." Earlier the ccenmittee resolved to call two Toronto firms alleged by a previous witness to have made heavy profits on imported potatoes. At the committée's request, M. M. Robinson, secretary-treasurer of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association, identified the firms as Mac Fruit Company and Marlowe and Company. Mr. Robinson said they had im- ported new potatoes at a laid-down cost cf 37 to $7.25 a bag and sold them at prices ranging from $12 to $16. The committee was told the Prices Board is already investigat- ing the transaction. 'ONTARIO NOMINATIONS By The Canadian Press Ontario--Wilfred Elmo Dunn, il Prescott--Simon Bertrand, Lib.
