THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE RA . PAGE THREE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1947 Icy Pavements Contribute To Two W Millard's Steel Policy Draws C.1.0. Attacks Steel London, Ont., Feb, 17 -- (CP) -- discussions over the week-end by members of United Steelworkers of America (C.I.O.) locals here, Albert Bernhardt, vice- t of local 2609, last night urged steel workers to maintain unity at all costs, Mr. Bernhardt d that difficul charge: Apsesent ties in the Steel ' Workers U=aion have been brought about by the dictatorship policies of national director Millard (C. lard). It is my sincere hope that a solution to these difficulties will be Steel Workers Union itself." Mr, Bernhardt sald that in the week he has received informa- that the American Federation of Labor had made approaching offers" to other CIO. unions "which I will not be a part of." He asserted that "the Millard machine has forced out of the lead- ership of the union everyone who has not acquiesced or become an instrument of the machine." Electrical Toronto, Feb. 17 -- (CP) -- Wage boosts are nmiore necessary now than they were a year ago and organized labor should not drop wage de- mands to concentrate solely on price increases, said C. S. Jackson, Canadian director of the United Electrical Workers (CIO. here Saturday. He was speaking as an observer at the annual convention of the Ontario Federation of Labor and his speech was an obvious reference to an address by C. H. Millard, Can- adian director of the United Steel- workers of America' (CI.0.) who told a policy conference of that union that labor campaigns should be directed at keeping down prices. "1 disagree that the emphasis must be on prices," Jackson said. But the price struggle was a neces- sary role for labor if it were linked with a campaign to increase wages. The main problem was how to put greater purchasing power in the hands of workers. Three Million Bushels Potatoes For British Isles Amplifying his statement in the House of Commons on February 5, the Minister of Agriculture gave further details of the potato con- tract with Britain on February 7. The amount of the sale is approx- imately 3 million bushels; the price 1.65 100 pounds delivered at Li De i. The sale has been negotiated by the Agricultural Prices Support Board as a part of the potato price support program which was announced in October last. The Board states that, because of differences in freight and hand- ling costs, it is not possible to ex- press this price in exact terms at country delivery points. However, the Board estimates that it will re: turn to growers at least the equival- ent of the guaranteed price of $1 ' per 75 pound bag as announced by the Board to come into effect next Shipments will begin in March and continue through April and May as shipping space is made available by the Brisish Govern- ment, It is expected by the Board that fulfilment of this contract will remove the present surplus of po- tatoes from the Canadian market and thereby permit all potato grow- ers to sell their remaining supplies. Negotiation of the contract was somewhat delayed because of the fears of the British Ministry of Agriculture that the importation of potatoes might introduce insects and which would be dan- gerous to British potato growers. However, this situation is to be met by the British Ministry of Agricul- ture sending a representative to Canada to act with Canadian of- ficlals in supervising shipments for insects and disease control, India, Policies Product Prices New Delhi, --(CP)--India has set up a commodity prices board of three members for three years, to maintain a reasonable relationship between prices of cash crops and foodgrains, and agricultural and in- dustrial prices. The board will advise what prices or price limits should be fixed for commodities, the price of which is controlled by the central govern- ment or provincial governments and, to keep under review move- ments of commodity prices in India and to advise whether the price of any commodity not controlled should be controlled and to specify the price or price limits for such a commodi The Hindustan Times, referring to this decision, says the interim government has taken this step "in its determination to bring down the cost of living." Lad, 12, Set Six Big Fires San Mateo, Calif., Feb. 17 -- (AP) -- Police chief Robert O'Brien said that a 12-year-old boy confessed yesterday to setting six warehouse and lumberyard fires here -- includ- ing a blaze that did an unofficially estimated $200,000 in damage Sat- urday night -- because he "liked to see 'em burn." The incendiaries caused a total loss exceeding $500,000. e Readers' Views ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON LABOR Editor, Times-Gazette, Dear Sir: The 80th Congress of the United States has one of the greatest opportunities that has ever fallen to the lot of any American Congress for constructive service to the people. It is the first postwar elected Congress and it has come into being during this period of transition from war economy to peace-time economy. War inevitably brings distortion to the pattern of a nation's econ- omy and it is the government's op- portunity to consvructively aid the Nation in its return to a peacetime economy. All national economy is founded upon the efforts of the men and women who toil, whether they be on the farm or in the factory. Those who would unconsciously lay a heavy hand on the millions of workers of the world should well consider the attitude of President Lincoln, whose memory the world honours on the 12th of February. Mr. Lincoln said: "To elevate the condition of men; to lift artificial weights from all shoulders; to af- ford all an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life--this is the leading object of govern- ment." What was true when Lincoln sald it is even more true today in the disorder in which we live. In a message to the US. Con- gress, on December 3, 1861, Mr. Lin- coln said: "Labour Is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labour and could never have existed if labour had not first existed. Labour is the supericr of capital and deserves much the higher consideration'. In this message we find the hue manitarianism reflected that made the Emacipator the great man that he was. Human rights were to him above cold property rights. It is the same humanitarian spirit that statesmen must invoke today to solve in equity and justice the manifold problems of the workers of Canada and the rest of the world, ARTHUR SLYFIELD.

Reuther of the C.1.0. Un- ited Auto yesterday lashed back at union vice president R. J.
