READS LONG BRIEF On Tuesday, Frank Hh. Hall {chairman of the joint committee which negotiates for the 15 unions representing the non - ops -- all t|railway employees mot actually Rail Cost For Grain Calculated By ROBERT RICE anadian Press Stall Writer OTTAWA (CP) Canada's {royal commission on transporta- tion is engrossed in cross-ex- |amination of the abstruse {lem of how to figure out the cost rail movement of Western | anti big export grain crop. Manitoba counsel Arthur Mauro launched a prairie attack Tues- |day on the cost study made by (the CPR and CNR, trying to tind technical flaws in the analys's, tion of various segments of the railway business to the grain operation, seeking loopholes in the electronic computations be- hind the figures. He matched wits and words with W. J. Stenason, 29, director of the CPR's economic research team and key man in devising a way of finding out the cost of moving grain. CLAIM BIG LOSS The two major railways claim a loss of $70,500,000 in 1958 on the grain operations alone. To offset this loss, caused by the statutory freight rate level on export grain shipments, the railways want a federal subsidy. The cost analysis was sub- mitted many months ago to the six commissioners under the chairmanship of M. A. MacPher- son, but cross-examination was delayed to give the prairie repre- sentatives time to consult experts and prepare their questions. The questioning is expected to fill out the rest of this week. The six commissioners who started the current hearings April 25 are due to adjourn Friday until May 28, when a one-day 'ssesion is scheduled for Port Arthur, fol- lowed by another three-week ses- sion in Ottawa May 30. was designed to prob Baby Food casting suspicion on the alloca-| emand engaged in running trains -- fin- | ished reading the unions' 103- page brief to the board.

The railways claim the in- creases demanded--the present FRIGIDAIRE AIR CONDITIONING SALES & SERVICE Fred's Refrigeration RA 5-6335 average hourly wage for mon-ops is $1.77--would cost $65,000.000 annually and the unions largely agree--though they say this would be the maximum cost. NOT BOARD'S WORRY But, said Mr. Hall, the bill for the raises should mot concern the board. Meeting the cost was a matter to be worked out between the government and the rail ways. ORGANIST NIGHTLY -- 9-12 NORMAN HOWARD HOTEL LANCASTER Mr, Hall also outlined the union demand for three weeks paid vacation for employees with 10 years service rather than 15 and for four weeks after 20 years service instead of 35. He said this was the trend in other indus- tries. The increased holidays, Mr. Hall said, would cost the railways a maximum of $3,065,000 annually or about 1%-cents hourly for each employee, GET THE BEST For Less At 926%2 SIMCOE ST. N. RA 8-6451 or RA 3-4131 OSHAWA Contained Fluorine TORONTO (CP) -- A leading United States opponent of fluori- dated water said Tuesday he was told a packaged baby food known as Pablum contains harmful quantities of fluorine. Dr. Frederick B. Exner of Seattle, Wash, told a royal com- mission on fluoridation here that pablum contains bonemeal in which there is fluorine. "lI have heard it said there were 14 parts per million of fiuorine in it," he told Mr. Jus- tice K. G. Morden, who is con- ducting the public hearings, now in their second week. Those who favor fluoridated drinking water recommend that sodium fluoride be added to the Mother! Is your child irritable, restless and picky with food? If so, the cause may be WORMS.

Dr. Exner said there are many children in Seattle who have mottled teeth---an effect of too much fluorine. "They've never had a drink of fluoridated water in their lives. They must have got it through ingestion or in other ways than through drinking water--through Pablum, probably." He said fluorine is ingested not only through fluoridated water hut through fruits and vegetables that have been sprayed with fluorine compounds as a protec- tion against insects. In Belleville, Gerald Wishart, vice-president in charge of manu- facturing Pablum for Mead John- son of Canada Limited, said there has been no bone meal in pab- lum for eight years. "To set the record straight bone meal used to be am ingredi- ent in Pablum but it was re- moved from the formula about eight years ago." "We do periodic checks for fluorine content," Mr, Wishart added, "and there are insignific- ant traces of it in Pablum." He defined the amount as be-| | ween one and two parts per mi on.
