According to a $6,000 loser Boycott said driving meat prices up B> THE CANADIAN PRESS Cattle farmer Bill Wolf of Tara near Owen Sound Ont says he has lost S6 000 since a Toronto-based consumer group initiated a Canadian week long boycott of meat Saturday He telephoned Margaret Rouble chairman of the group Women Against Soaring Prices Sunday to sa> the boycott may drive farmers out of business and send meat prices sky rocketing Since the boycott talks began the market price of beef has dropped two cents a pound he said in a Monday interview On my 300 head that means $6 000 But Mrs Rouble said her group still plans on boycotting stores all this week and every Tuesday and Thursday until prices drop The way my phone has been ringing there s lots of support she said Meanwhile farmers kept their cattle away from market Monday on a scale not seen in Ontario in more than 30 years Richard Nicholls livestock reporter with the federal depart ment of agriculture called it a double beef boycott though beef industry officials denied farmers were boycotting the stockyards to counter the consumer move Not enough cattle were offered for sale in Toronto and ('algary Monday to establish a market as farmers seemed uncertain of the impact the consumer boycott will have on prices They are just being cautious said Merlin Ont producer lieorge Morris chairman of the i anadian Cattlemen s Associ ation He said the association is urging members not to engage in a boycott of their own nor to flt»od the markets in panic selling Evidently they went out and sent in to market only those cattle that were ready 1 think they did the right thing RISK INVOLVED But Mr Morris said there is nothing to be gamed from dehb erately w ithholding large numbers of livestock Earmers then run the risk of t’nited States imports filling the orders of ('anadian packing plants at a lower price Prices might drop in the C S because' of a consumers boycott The weather High today of about 45-SO under cloudy skies, going down tonight to about 35.Outlook for tomorrow some clearing and a bit warmer THE SHERBROOKE Tl ES APRIL 3 1973 RECORD 10 CENTS there hitting produceo In the Ontario legislature Agriculture Minister William Stewart said Monday it was unfortunate that the federal government had not put an embargo on V S beef imports Mr Stewart deplored publie protests over beef prices when farmers tor the first time were receiving a half decent’’ price The 100 0ik>member Consumers Association of Canada iCAO decided Monday against supporting the boycott on the ground it could create serious disorders in the market and eause hardship to farmers The CAC called instead im the federal government to take action to hold meat prices down However Cordon Hall president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture said present meat prices were not out of line PRICES H ERE LOW The problem is that meat prices have been ten) low for too King he said The boycott which has already reduced the farmers’ income would ultimately hurt the consumer bet'a use farmers would not bo able to expand production to meet the demand Officials of major chain food stores in Toronto said they have not vet felt the effects of the boycott David Bone, vice president of meat operations for l.oblaw Crocetenas Co Ltd said if farmers are forced out of business there will be less meat at higher prices a year from now The best thing the public could have done was just left the situation alone he said “The farmer was doing well and he could have afforded to expand Prices would have dropped eventually NDP leader attacks Bell Canada, corporations OTTAWA (CP) — It was almost David Lewis Day in the Commons Monday, as the New Democrat leader belligerently took on Bell Canada and multinational corporations in two major speeches In the afternoon debate, he gave grudging praise to the government’s foreign in vestment review bill, calling it a great improvement over a similar bill last year but vowing to press for amendments in committee to strengthen it Then he won approval from Commons Speaker Lucien La moureux to suspend discussion of that bill and hold a special evening debate on recent rate increases granted to Bell C'anada by the Canadian transport commission It is fullv time to call a halt to the monopolistic gouging by Bell Canada of the people of this country.” he declared in a hard hitting speech Mr Lewis noted that Bell has had four increases in 3lt years and has yet another application before the transport commission asking for rate increases to take effect next year Bell Canada serves Ontario.Quebec.Labrador and part of the Vdi DO Mont-Launer LacnuTe Done DfOOK vallpyf JON Ste-Thpres* '-do-Biai S Northwest Territories CRCES SUSPENSION He urged the government to use its power to suspend the commission decision and review the case to see whether the in creases should be disallowed Conservative spokesmen at tacked the increases as excessive.while Mark MacOuigan (I.Wu dsor Walkemlle) said the commission's procedure for hearing the Bell application did not convince the publie their in terests were being protected Under the rule permitting the special debate, no motion con ceming the Bell increases was proposed and thus there was no vote on the subject The debate came under provisions enabling the Speaker to schedule a debate on important and urgent issues No parties objected Communications Minister Gerard Pelletier said the govern ment is unlikely to intervene in the commission decision hut will put it through routine review The increases include raising basic monthly charges for residential telephone service by five cents, various increases in long distance calls, and adding $2 75 immediately and $2 75 Jan 1.1974 to the $11 charge for telephone installation Another application still to he heard by the commission would, among other things, raise the installation charge to $22 in crease the cost of a lb cent pay phone call to 20 cents, and charge 25 cents for directory assistance calls for numbers al ready in the directory The commission decision En day is estimated to give Bell $35 3 million more revenue next year The foreign investment review hill won agreement from all parties to send it to committee for study, although the (’ommons debate did not end Monday All opposition parties criticized the hill as inadequate Mr Lewis said Canada does not need foreign investment Foreign-owned firms were able to expand by reinvesting profits made in Canada "We have not needed foreign capital in this country for years We have been selling Canada out with our own money We have permitted foreigners to buy us out with our own dollars ” SEES IMPROVEMENT > He said the bill is a great im provement over last year’s, which provided for an agt ney to screen foreign takeovers of companies with more than $250.000 assets or $3 million an nualsales The new hill would have an agency screen such takeovers, plus any new business estab lished m Canada by a foreigner and any expansion into unrelated fields bv foreign controlled companies already operating in Canada Mr Lewis said, however, his party would press in committee to have (he proposed agency screen imports of parts and components, exports of raw ma tenais and any export agreements between multinational corporations and their Canadian subsidiaries Eventually, he added, steps will have to be taken to buy back Canada He listed foreign ownership statistics which he called freightenmg corporations with assets over $25 million are 54 per cent foreign controlled.B8 per cent of mining companies with assets over $25 million are foreign controlled the rubber industry is 92 7 per cent foreign controlled, the chemical in dustry 80 4 per cent

on food costs to a proposed prices review board In an interim report Monday, the committee urged the gov eminent to set up such a board to review prices and make rec ommendations to the consumer affairs minister Reports of the board could also be referred to a standing committee Bud Cullen (L Sarnia Lam bton).food committee chair man said such a procedure would bring unwarranted in creases out in the open ” Meanwhile, the report said consumers should study good shopping habits and demand more information from news sources, governments and retai lers about food The 10 Conservative members of the 25 member committee brought down a minority report calling for a 90-day freeze on all prices and incomes and a “comprehensive co-ordinated set of economic policies” at tacking all aspects of inflation BOARD TOOTHLESS Consumer critic Allan Law rence (PC Northumberland Durham» described the proposal for a review board as toothless yet complicated and obscure A freeze which would affect all but farm prices for raw products- would allow the fed era I government and provinces a chance to get together and consult labor consumers, farm ers and business groups on ways to stabilize costs Grace Maclnms (NDP Van couver Kingsway), spokesman for the three New Democrats on the committee said her party considered the review board as a step toward government control of prices All parties on the committee, however agreed that farmers have had little effort on food price increases that rose more than 10 per rent in 1972 Despite high gams in productivity.average returns on the labor and investment of farmers have been low in comparison with the returns received bv most other groups in Canada The report also recommended these measures.— Misleading advertising pro visions in a proposed new com petition act should be separated and brought m immediately —Laws to list nutritional con tent on food labels should be considered by the government —Federal and provincial gov emmenti should consider work mg out ways to supply nutritional food to low income groups —Programs and stories m vestigatmg consumer protection and encouraging wise buying habits should be developed by the media —The consumer affairs de partment should make direct money payments to consumer groups to help them state their case before government boards or agencies The committee, which tabled the interim report in the Com mons after hearing 21 witnesses during the last two months, will continue its examination probably for another year Mr Cullen said The committee pinpointed a number of items involved in price increases in a list of ten tative conclusions Major item was that only a few companies controlled the wholesale, pacx aging processing and retail trades Advertising also could bo in creasing the price of some goods unduly Packaging could he made more economic and overcapacity too many stores serving too few people also could be raising food prices The committee proposal for a review board received mixed reaction from the food industry A spokesman for the Canadian Federation of Agriculture said such a board “ could only work for the good if it singled out areas adding excessively to food prices The Retail Council of Canada, whose 500 members include all major food chains except A and P said the proposed board would probably not accomplish very much.” The Meat Packers Council of Canada which represents three-quarters of the country’s meat processing plants, welcomed the idea saying it had nothing to hide and would have no objection to a monitoring agency as long as it's independent and competent ” Officials deny charges EDMONTON (CP) Federal health officials have denied allegations that native women in the North an* being sterilized against their will or without their knowledge of the implications Dr Brian Scott director of medical services for the northern region said Monday sterilization is recommended only when it is considered medically unwise for a woman to have more children If a woman wants to be sterilized for birth-control reasons, he said in an interview northern medical staff are under orders to make certain that she is sincere in her wish and understands the implications Indian women said on a CBC television program’ Sunday they had undergone sterilization operations in the Northwest Territories without understanding what the operations were for Dr Brett said if sterilization isn’t considered medically suit able northern staff will attempt to have women use reversible forms of birth control Dr Stephen Parlee.chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Charles Camsell Hospital here, a federal hospital serving treaty Indians from the Northwest Territories and Alberta as well as Edmontonians called the CBC program irresponsible, mischievous bad journalism Dr Otto Hath federal medical services director for Alberta, said his department s guidelines on sterilization stipulate that if a physician agrees that
