Two SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1945.Frefth Dispute Continued from page l The move to Washington was suggested by Labor Secretary Sehwel-lenbach.The Union is ashing for a 30 per cent wage rate increase, and in three days of negotiations in Chicago the conference was deadlocked.The 6,000 workers who walked out in the textile printing and dyeing plants in the Paterson area, membere of the C.I.O.Federation of Dyers, Finishers, Printers and Bleachers of America, are demanding a 16 cents an hour increase to make up for loss of pay caused by the switch from the 60-hour war work week to a 40-hour week.Federation President Joseph W.Knapik sajd the walkout would affect about 68,000 employees in 214 plants in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and North and South Carolina.He said if supplies from the print and dye shops are curtailed, approximately 500,{tOO garment workers will be forced from work.Charles Vermorel, President of the Dyers and Finishers Employees Association, said the union had made, no formal demands for any wage increases.Other front-ranking labor disturbances continued.The strike total in Pennsylvania hit a new high of 77,000 workers, including 28,302 coal miners as 59 pits closed.In neighboring West I Virginia 27 mines were closed, | keeping about 9,000 off their jobs.In the Pacific Northwest, a threatened strike of some 37,000 C.I.O.lumber workers was postponed! at least until October 3 but the[ area\u2019s wood supply was steadily, shrinking as the strike by 60,000) A.F.L.workers for wage increases1 entered its fifth day.Strikes and layoffs in the De-; troit area kept 80,000 idle and the oil strike brought further curtailment of production.New York City\u2019s paralyzing strike of 15,000 A.F.L.building service employees continued, but there was a possibility of arbitration as May Urge Sharing Atom Bomb Secret Washington, Sept.28,\u2014\u2014 President Truman may tell the Cabinet today what he think* the United States should do about the atomic bomb.Mr.Truman has notified Congressional leaders he will send them a message soon recommending policies on future development, control and use of nuclear energy.Responsible persons here say the President will recommend sharing the secret with other countries willing to abide by rigid controls designed to make it primarily an instrument of peace.They have no doubt he will urge that peacetime development of atomic power he kept under Government control, so that its benefits may go to everyone.The President had said he alone must make the final decision on his recommendation to Congress.The Cabinet is said to be split on giving away, or keeping the secret.34 Japs To Continued rrom page 1.Meat Rationing Continued rrom page 1 United States might lift the meat ration entirely, but Finance Minister Ilf.ley has already told the Commons that an agreement existed! between the two countries that neither would abolish meat rationing without first consulting the other.It was believed there that a statement would be forthcoming from Washington shortly confirming that meat rationing will be continued in the United States in view of the tight world food supply picture.Hemming\u2019s Falls Continued from page 1.in aircrew.His parents, Mr.and Mrs.A.Wootton, live at.40 Moore Street, Sherbrooke.Mr Wootton is being admitted to the Sherbrooke Hospital this afternoon.Funeral arrangements for the late Mrs.Wootton have not yet been completed.ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO SEE THIS GRAND DOUBLE BILLI TWO SMASH HITS PRESENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS CITY I THRILL to This Gripping Story that Moves Swift and True Toward a Blazing Climax f John LODER, Jane RANDOLPH in \u201cJEALOUSY,\u201d with Karen Morley, Nils Asther.\u2014HIT NO.TWO\u2014 You\u2019ll Laugh and Ohill When You See This Spine-Thrilling Mystery-Comedy I \u201cTHE MISSING CORPSE,\u201d with J.Edward BROMBERG, Isabel RANDOLPH, Frank JBNKS, Paul GILFOYLE.Paramount Presents \u201cISLE OF TABU,** a Del-ightful Musical in Technicolor.\u201cBLUENOSE SCHOONER,** a Thrill-Packed Deep Sea Fishing Off the Coast of Halifax.Latest World Events.COMING SUN.-MON.-TUE8.THE FUNWIESfP \u201cROAD\u201d SHOW OF 'EM ALL!

idleness.Allied Headquarters had approved the use of idle airfields for fanning to help alleviate food shortages.It said the Japanese Government requested the conversion of fields not being used by the occupation forces into plots for sweet potatoes and other commodities.Gen.MacArthur told the Imperial Government that any request for reopening the stock exchange or any similar institution must be submitted to him with detailed plans\u2014in line with his programme of controlling Japan\u2019s finances to put the country on a firm economic footing.Domei News Agency reported the Government was considering a wholesale re-organization of the bank of Japan, which had kept the war machine and supporting industries operating.A few days ago, a Tokyo newspaper reported that the bank\u2019s notes had increased 13,(X)0,-000,000 yen since the August 16 truce.It warned that the increase threatened further inflation with resulting hardship on the already destitute Nipponese.Domei reported today that the war pared Japan\u2019s total shipping bottoms from fi.SOO.OOO to 1,50,0,000 grow?tons.It is estimated that only 300 vessels with an aggregate 580,-000 gross tons now arc available.The newspaper Asahi reported that 31,000 Japanese merchant seamen were killed, missing or wounded in the Pacific war and said this \"conservative\u201d preliminary figure was \u201cbound to increase.\u201d Domei said a preparatory committee met today to begin organization of a new and as yet unnamed Socialist Party\u2014the third new political organization announced within the past week.Committeemen included Komakichi Matsuoka and Suehiro Nishio, described as \u201cveteran proletarian leaders\u201d and currently linked with reported conferences toward resurrection of the former Japan federation of labor.Ichiro Hatoyama, a Liberal leader, previously anonunced the formation of a Liberal Party.Toyohiko Kaga-wa, well known Labor leader, heads the fledgling Socialist Labor Party, one of whose planks is reported to be elimination of capitalism.Domei also reported inauguration of a \u201cnew Japan seamen\u2019s union\u201d planned for October 5 at Osaka and a re-organization of Tokyo transport workers.Approximately 590,000 employees of the Government-owned railways are forming a separate association, and workers in large industries are showing \u201cactive interest\" in labor unions, the agency said.The main dike to renewed labor activity evidently was eliminated by the dissolution of the so-called patriotic labor service association, the Government control agency over all labor, and the Allied directive for elimination of Zaibatsu, or the big industrialists.First Major Test Continued from page 1.George Carr Continuée from Page 3 em Alberta coal

of parity pending the establishment of a generally equitable price system based on parity.The C.C.F.amendment, defeated by 117 to 90, called for immediate establishment of prices based on parity.Chief participants'in the debate last night, were John Bracken, Progressive Conservative Leader, and Agriculture Minister Gardiner.Mr.Bracken said the burden of providing wheat at less than free market prices for Allied countries was to be placed on 250,000 farmers whereas it should he borne by the country as a whole.Replying to this Mr.Gardiner said Canada had maintained a ceiling price since 1941 but there had been no ceiling on wheat.The Government \u2014jrasa.\u2014\u20141 - *0pW!P?: SHERBROOKE HOME SERVICES A 3-POINT OPPORTUNITY \u201cGIVE ONCE.COUNCIL OF SOCIAL AGENCIES

Sherbrooke, we should be honest and tell them so.In so doing Sherbrooke will build up a reputation of honest fair dealing.\u201cThis has been the policy which has been adopted by your Chamber of Commerce in dealing with possible industries and it is still our considered opinion that this policy should prevail.Should any other policy be adopted at 'he present moment it may lead to industrial suicide in Sherbrooke.Our post-war report Indicates that Sherbrooke does not need very much industrial expansion at the present time to take care of the unemployment, there are many types of industry not now represented in Sherbrooke manufacturing which could be brought to Sherbrooke at the present time with advantage to both the manufacturer and the community.What we want is a planned industrial expansion.\u201cAbout two years ago representatives of the City Government asked your Chamber of Commerce to help them obtain water filtration for Sherbrooke.We did our best; thus far the total result has been nil and the only apparent result has been various arguments on this subject among members of the City Government.Quite some time ago responsible representatives of the City Government asked the Chamber of Commerce to work with them in putting out a satisfactory booklet to publicize Sherbrooke.We formed a Committee, investigated things carefully and produced what, to us, seemed to be a very appropriate and satisfactory form of publicity.\u201cWhen this matter was brought to our attention by representatives of your City Government it was with the inference that if the Chamber of Commerce did not have sufficient funds to put out a booklet which would be a credit to the City of Sherbrooke that they would be prepared to help us in this matter.This being the case, we went ahead with the idea of producing an outstanding piece of work, realizing to do so it would cost a fair amount of money.\u201cBack in the early part of October 194 4 we got our information ready and then followed meetings with representatives of your City Government.I might add in passing that we started on this work way back in March, 1944, and were prepared with a definite programme by the first of O'ctober, 1944.\u201cInstead of living up to their implied agreement of many months previous, they took the matter entirely out of our hands, even after they had given us a half-way commitment that we would be allowed to go ahead with the programme\u2014 they formed a committee of their own and in January 1'945 placed an order for such a booklet without even having a satisfactory example of what the finished booklet would look like.\u201cDuring the intervening months we have had many requests for information regarding Sherbrooke.During the month of September alone, we halve received requests from: Manitoba, Coaticook, Que., Liberty Magazine, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C.\u201cWe have called representatives of the City Government on several occasions asking about this publicity.We were recently informed that they did not know when they would have it available.\u201cHad the Chamber of Commerce been allowed by the City Government, with their assistance, to continue this project, we would have had the publicity ready by the first of January of this year.\"I am sorry to tell you gentlemen that your directors feel that the City Government has bungled a very important publicity job.Mr.Carr referred to the Sheer Silk Hosiery Company-City Government controversy, which has been settled now to the satisfaction of the company.He declared that the Chamber is always prepared \u201cto do everything we can to help the City Government as long as their efforts are in the best interests of Sherbrooke as a whole and not for the selfish interests of any individual or groups of individuals.\u201d The President concluded with a summary of recent activities of the Chamber: Directors\u2019 meetings, regional convention.Juniors\u2019 visit to Vermont to study ways and means employed to control floods, and organization of a committee to obtain clothing for UNRBA.Speaking as a member of the Chamber of Commerce and as a City Councillor, Alderman Alphonse Trudeau replied to the criticisms of the City Government voiced by Mr.Carr.He said he was sorry Mr.Oarr had given the city such unfavorable publicity in the presence of outsiders.Aid.Trudeau referred here to the delegations from Vermont and representatives of several communities in the Eastern Townships who were present at the meeting.He recalled that the matter of the publicity pamphlet was taken out of the hands of the Chamber because of the intention of the Chamber to have the booklet printed in Montreal.He stated that there were plants in Sherbrooke that could print such a pamphlet.\u201cIt would be another publicity element to have this booklet presented as having been printed in Sherbrooke,\u201d he said.Answering the statement of Mr.Carr that nothing was being done about a filtration plant.Aid.Trudeau said that last fall when the matter was before the City Council, he was one of the three Aldermen who were in favor of the project at that the majority of the Council .ejected it.He said that since then, however, the Aldermen have chang-ed their minds and that residents will soon have the opportunity of voting on a by-law calling for the construction of a filtration plant.had assured the people of bread at a price equal 78 cents for wheat as long as toe ceiling was maintained but the farmers now were getting $1.65 for their wheat and the difference was coming out of the Treasury, out of all the people of Canada.Immediate Easing [ Continued from page 3 manding officers of military units were now empowered to grant re-; leases to members of the Armed j F'orces applying directly to them, it ¦ was still advisable for employers to support such applications made by ! the employees themselves by making ) application to the nearest Industrial Selection and Release Com-j mittee.I It was recalled that the Associ- ! ation was on record as holding that, ) I when the war was over, employers! should have restored to them the right to engage and discharge em- j ployee.5 as they saw fit, subject to , the obligation on the part of em- ! ployers to register with the Employ- ! ment Service both their require-; ments and their layoffs.It was noted with approval that a number of the wartime controls have already been removed and considered that the remaining controls should be removed with a minimum of delay.It was reported that Canada, following the lead of the United States and Great Britain, had organized a technical mission to examine German production methods and technology.As of today, three-quarters of the Canadian party of approximately thirty are on the continent and it is expected that by the end of September the majority will be returning to Canada.The destruction which preceded the visit of the party was so great that it is doubtful if very much information of .value will be secured by examination of the plants and equipment on the spot.However, those who have gone from Canada are in the closest co-operation with the outstanding people in their field from other countries and also have had the opportunity of examining and getting information from libraries in London which have been built up as a result of earlier investigations.According to the Secretary, there has been a marked increase, since the war with Germany ended, in the number of letters and other documents in foreign languages received by members of the Association and sent in to the Association to be translated.This has necessitated an increase in the number of persons employed in the translation service.In addition to regular commercial letters, highly technical translations in the form of catalogues, price lists, detailed specifications and export invoices in various languages have been handled.Another indication, reported by the Secretary, of the growing interest in export trade, has been the number of overseas visitors from Empire and foreign countries who have called at Association offices during the past few months.Every possible assistance was given them to enable them to make contacts with Canadian manufacturers.While few supplies are available at the present time, these visits provide firms abroad with an excellent knowledge of Canadian industries and their products, which should be of value when more settled trading conditions prevail.Among other subject matters discussed at the meeting included Professional Syndicates Act of the Province of Quebec; Bill No.44\u2014 An Act to afford Aid to Education ami Public Health; Ordinance No.4 of the Minimum Wage Commission; maintenance men engaged in industrial establishments in the Province ot Quebec and Quebec labor legislation in general.DETAILED WEATHER COOL Forecast; Cloudy with occasional showers.Saturday, fresh northerly winds cloudyf and cooler with

time before they reaped the benefits of their work, it would surely come.Dr.Laberge and Dr.Trudeau both paid respects to the association and the instructors who gave unstinting-ly of their time and energy to make the course possible and they expressed the hope that some of the graduates might continue their practice and eventually become qualified instructors.In his remarks Mr.Rennie said that out of a total of fifty who originally attended the series of lectures, forty-one succeeded in qualifying for certificates.He said that advanced lectures would commence next week which would qualify members for the Home Nursing Certificate.Mr.Beatty told the gathering that at present there were 600,000 holders of the St.John Ambulance Association first-aid certificates in Quebec Province alone and that the organization has been training two to three thousand annually.\u201cWith this great task ahead of us, he continued, the association is constantly in need of new instructors and it is our
