The miners struck almost three months ago for an hourly wage boost of 16 cents and a dues check- off. Following two meeting last night, a union spokesman issued a state- ment saying that the company's latest offer--a 12-cents-an-hour in- crease, contingent on the union dropping the checkoff--was "over- whelmingly rejected." .

During the evening's discussion the following officers were appoint- ed: Vice-chairman, George Wotton; Secretary, Seymore Bigwood; Treas- urer, Clarence Weldon; Transporta- tion' Chairman, Lou Trick; Chair- man in charge of raising funds, George Wotton and his committee consisting of Clarence Weldon, Al- bert Taylor, Wilf Pascoe, Jack Val- entine. The representatives from the Mother's Auxiliary are Mrs. H. S. Weeks and Mrs, Ted Adey. Plans were made for Boy Scout Week and they include a Church London's Own Gangsters Operate A-La-Chicago London, Feb, 6--(CP)--Gangsters used to mean Chicago to London- ers; now they think of their own city when they hear the word. "Highly organized gangs stealing furs," shouts one newspaper head- ing. "Yard drives to smash gangs- ters," says another. Accompanying stories tell of thefts costing £30,000 a week. Crime reporters say the gangs are largely composed of deserters from the forces, About 20,000 British servicemen are on the loose, along with 2,000 Canadians and Ameri- cans. These men have no civilian registration and "in many cases are leading an underground existence," said Defence Minister Alexander when he made a recent appeal to them to surrender. In the first week after he an- nounced that those who gave them- selves up by March 31 would re- ceive every consideration, oaly a dozen responded. No amnesty for deserters is planned, but they will be helped toward their "rehabili- tation." N Scotland Yard, harassed by its own manpower shortages, has sought public assistance in its cam- paign to smash the gangs. At the same time they warned against the "spy system" employed by gangs. Those who entertain on a large scale have been told to check carefully their guests and staff. In the first 12 days of January alone, furs worth more than £8,000 were stolen. "Only highly skilled people can handle really good furs," sald a London furrier, "Ordinarily thieves certainly would not be able to tell what a fur was worth, and if it was a really good one they would find it very difficult to get rid of it. "These thieves must work with someone who knows values and can tell an expensive fur and they must know where to find receivers who can handle such good coats." Up-to-date gangs use "every scientific aid," said an insurance assessor. "No sign of forcible entry is to be found in many cases of housebreaking now occurring."

The Prime Minister said the Pro- gressive Conservatives wanted out- right abolition of controls while the C.C.F. wanted them continued and exterided first to one industry and then another. The Liberal party stood between those two policies and had in mind "what is best for the community as a whole and not just special interests." It believed con- trols were needed in relation to the times. Finance Minister Abbott and Transport Minister Chevrier also addressed the assembled Liberal party members briefly. The Fi- nance Minister said that the gov- ernment had had to depart from "true Liberal principles" during the war but it was returning to them as quickly as possible. 5-Year Term On Five Counts Woodstock, Feb. 8, -- (CP) Bruce Neil Saunders, 21-year-old youth who pleaded guilty last week to five charges including armed robbery and breaking arrest, was sentenced yesterday to five years in penitentiary.
