2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, October 23, 1959 ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY ONE OF the first bottle- necks to occur after opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway was at the Welland canal, the connecting link between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, This view, taken in May, looks south toward Port Colborne over the Thorold locks. Single Jocks which permit ship traffic 20,000,000 TONS OF CARGO i in only one direction slowed traffic in the canal, Various groups pressed for two-way locks, such as those shown in foreground. OPENING OF the St. Lawr- ence Seaway brought larger ships and increared traffic to inland ports. At Hamilton, dir- ect overseas traffic totalled 110,700 tons compared - with 21,600 by the same date last year.

In addition to the strikers, some 275,000 workers have been laid off in allied industries, It is impossible to estimate their wage losses. Budget director Maurice H. Stans sald recently the strike threatens to wipe out the gov- ernment's $95,000,000 surnlus for the 1960 fiscal year. That would result from a sharp drop in tax income. Individual producers guess the strike has cost the soft coal industry between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 in profits. So far, about 20,000 of the more than 100,00 soft coal mi- ners have been laid of because of the strike. The miners have lost wages and benefits totalling about $7,000,000. The American Association of Railroads reports losses of $500,000,000 in freight revenue during the nearly 15 weeks of the strike, Some 60,000 railroad workers have been furloughed. There is no estimate of their wage losses. Two Hospitals Obtain Grants Strike's Losses Now In Billions Auto producers have laid of 75,000 production workers so far and that figure is growing almost dai'y. Based on 'he cuv- rent figure, wage losses were estimated at about $1,500,000 a y. Of the big three auto produc- ers, General Motors is the hard: est hit so far.

During the April-August period of this year 11,200,000 tons moved the new seaway compared with 7,020,000 tons carried through the old canals during the same period in 1958. Dur- ing the entire shipping season last year, 11,500,0000 tons moved through the old canals. The official estimate is that 25,000,000 tons will have moved through the seaway by the close of navigation this year but experts say the actual fig- ure will probably be 20 per cent below the estimate. --(CP Newsmap) TORONTO (CP) -- Complaints against alleged price - cutting tactics by Molson's Brewery Limited of Montreal and John Labatt Limited of London, Ont., were contained in letters intro- duced in evidence Thursday at the combines trial of Canadian Breweries Limited. The Labatt complaint was con- tained in a letter identified by the Crown as having been writ- ten by R. S. 8. Grier, manager of Canadian Breweries (Quebec) Limited, to George Black, CBL president, in 1955, It said in part: "Our agent was called on the telephone by a consumer (think- ing he was the Labatt agent) and asked for 'the same deal as you are giving my brother.' Our agent (before pointing. out the consumer's mistake) discovered that the deal was $2.30 a case for Labatt's if purchased in 10- case lots, This is the price which our agents pay for beer pur- chased from Canadian Brew- eries (Que.)

Another letter introduced was dated Dec. 8, 1953, to "my dear Wilfrid" and signed "Eddie." Donald Guthrie, associate Crown counsel, said the Crown believed the letter was from E. P. Taylor, chairman of the board of Cana. dian Breweries, to Wilfrid Gag- non, chairman and president of Dow Brewing Limited, a Cana- dian Breweries subsidiary. It termed remarks in the Mol- son's annual report as 'stupid, childish and misleading" and ad- ded: "I telephoned George Black to- day to suggest that if you haven't met Hartland yet that you post- pone doing so until you and I | have had a chat. If you have met |it is my suggestion that you call him up and say that the publica- tion of their report raises some {new questions to be discussed | between us before entering into any agreement with them about the future."
