An overture from the Montreal Presbytery, presented by Rev. H. R. Pickup, called attention to the pro- blem faced by those brides who had been deserted in Great Britain and had been unable to come to Can- ada to get a divorce. Mr. Pickup sald a census taken of the problem cases in Britain up to the end of January of this year re- vealed more than 2,000 brides who had been unable to come to Can- ada The assembly referred the mat- ter to the Presbytery of Montreal with the direction the Presbytery appoint such a committee which would "ascertain the steps to be taken to bring about requisite legal re-adjustment." A cloud was cast on the final session when word of the death of The net reduction in m on churches has totalled $1,711,000 last 15 years, Rev. A. Neil of Brampton, Ont., informed This has resulted in a New Labor Difficulty For France Paris, June 13-- (Reuters). -- The strike-weary people of France fac- ed fresh trouble today, 24 hours af- ter the national railway stoppage ended, when municipal employees, including street cleaners, came out on a 24-hour "warning" strike. Subway and bus services were riot affected, and vital services, such as aad and water supply, kept going. The stoppage affected undertak- ers and hospital workers other than the medical staff. It was called by the Federation of Public Employees to draw the government's attention to their claims for wage Increases. Although the strike was called on a national basis, public employees in Calais and Angers voted against it and continued work. At Cannes the strike lasted only two hours. The Public Employees' Federa- tion declared that they were acting only "as a warning to the public au- thorities" and that they demanded | missing "only the opening of talks" on wage scales, SEEK IIORE CANTEENS Ottawa (CP).--The Civil Service Recreation Association has recom- mended the government continue and extended facilities for it to operate canteens in public buildings in the capital. HOME SWEET HOME The original homeland of mam- malian life is believed to be the high central plateau of Asia. of Canadian - American friendship. For the three-day visit of the President and Mrs. Truman and their daughter, Margaret, to Ot- tawa was a triumph of friendship- making and there is a lot they won't forget. And there is a lot Ottawans won't forget about "Harry"'--his quick smile, his lack of aloofness, his triumphal rideg through the city and his speech to a joint session of the Commons and the Senate. Tale> Last Steps This morning the Trumans will take their last steps on Canadian soil this trip when they leave their special at Niagara Falls, Ont., for a 10-minute auto trip and a close view of the scenic water wonder of the U.S.-Canad- ian border. Then it is on to Washington and the worries of the White House, Viscount Alexander, Governor- General, and Viscountess Alex- ander, whose guest he was at Government House for part of his stay, Prime Minister Mackenzie King and many others went to bid the Trumans goodbye. And before he stepped aboard from a special platform at a semaphore Stop in Ottawa's railway yards, the President disclosed he had asked Mr. King to come to Wash- ington soon and that the Prime 'Minister had said he hoped he could. Kept Secret The departure point was kept comparatively secret to avoid ex- pected railway station crowds but many showed up and their cheers rolled over the scene lit by the flash bulbs of photographers. Red-coated Mounties were there by the score and the President shook hands with a whole line of them before stepping aboard. Yesterday when he motored to the elite Seigniory Club near Montebello, Que., he gathered re- porters around him on the slopes of a golf course and held an un- scheduled press conference. He told them that the ome, over-rid- ing aim of the United States was peace and friendship with every nation in the world and said they could "emphasize the word 'ev- ery.' " He said the one object of his visit to Mexico and to Canada had been to solidify the friend- ship of the people of the North American Continent, The United States wanted to do- that for the whole continent and then for the whole world. Otherwise all the men who died in the two world wars would have died in vain, Prime Minister King, standing beside the President, interjected that "every sentiment the Presi- dent has expressed is re-echoed in the hearts of every one of us who have been so honored and pleased by this wonderful visit," Con's Estate Provides For Stranger Sacramento, Calif, June 13-- (AP)--How a convict left one-third of his estate to a total stranger -- providing the stranger attends his funeral services here next week -- was reported today by a Sacramen- to lawyer, Horace Dunning. Dunning said he hopes that the heir, Willlam Watson, 35, who lived in San Francisco 25 years ago, will be located in time to at- tend the funeral. If Watson does not come forward, he will be excluded from the estate of Matthias John, convict who died May 30. Dunning estimated the value of John's estate at more than $1,000. Dunning said he understood Wat- son may have been a witness in the trial of John, sentenced to life im- prisonment in San Francisco in 1922 as a four-time loser. "The convict apparently decided to try to make amends," the law- yer said, Get Along By ROSS MUNRO Canadian Press Staff Writer Oslo, June 13.--(CP)--Norway is one country where labor and in- dustry .get along well together, One of the most refreshing fea- tures of this tidy country of only 3,000,000 people, Norway's post-war record in labor relations and com. parative freedom from strikes is the vy of most of Europe. The country has quietly made a steady and carefully-planned re- covery from five years of German occupation and its leaders say that the progress is. largely due to the Peaceful state of industry and poli- The few strikes have been largely the result of workers attempting to oust those whom they considered collaborators. There have been scarcely any strikes for higher Labor and Management in Norway A wages and Norwegians seem fairly well satisfied with their lot. Food is more than sufficient in Oslo and most parts of Norway. There is enough clothing and al- though both food and clothing still are rationed, hardship is but a memory except in the far-north region of Finmark, This is the country's biggest ec- onomic problem for Finmark was laid waste by the Germans as they withdrew before the Red Army ad- vance into Northern Norway in the last year of the war. Another problem Oslo officials worry about is the danger of infla- tion. So far, prices have been kept reasonably stable by controls but the government is concerned about the future and several sweeping new price laws have been proposed to try to keep the economy on a level keel. Work Plan Disc assed By Plumbers At a meeting called under the Industrial Standards branch of the Ontario, Department of Labor, be- tween and 50 members of the plum and heating industry in the Whitby-Oshawa - district last, night discussed the possibility of setting up a schedule of wages and working conditions for the industry in this area. At the request of the master plumbers who had not been organ- ized previously, it was agreed to hold a further meeting within 30 days to give the employers an Op- portunity to discuss the matter further among themselves and also with representatives of the em- ploykes. James Hutcheon, Industrial Stan= dards officer for the Ontario Labor Department, was the chairman of the meeting and he submitted as a sample agreement that recently es- tablished in the Belleville zone. It sets up minimum wage rates for both regular and overtime work as well as defining the hours which shall comprise a regular working week. Mr. Hutcheon explained that the establishment of such a schedule is entirely voluntary on the part of the employers and employees in the area but once it is set up it is bind- ing on all those engaged in the industry. The hours, rates and other stipulations are decided upon by those in the area. In order to set up a schedule, & majority of employers and employ- ees in the 'industry locally must sign a petition form. An advisory board consisting of three employers and two employees is then ap- pointed for the district. Complaints as to alleged violations of the pro- visions may be made to this board and if it considers these to be justi- fied, it informs the Department which will send an inspector to in- vestigate. If a violation is found by the investigator, the offender will have an opportunity to make redress or failing in wii be sub- ect to a fine jn police court. : He said oud ph Industrial Stan- dards Act was passed in 1935 and there are now some 150 different schedules for various trades in the province. Such schedules have al- ready been adopted by the carpen- ters and painters in this area. While a number of the employers present expressed dissatisfaction with the system of wage rates set up under the Regional War Labor Board, it was pointed out that this is no longer in effect and the In- dustrial Standards Act is entirely unassociated with it. It was felt that there had been discrimination in the War Labor Board system. Explaining the distinction be- tween the two, John W. Bruce, rep- resentative of the United Associa- tion of Journeymen and Appren- tices of the Plumbing and Pipe= fitting Industry, pointed out that the Industrial Standards Act had been suspended during the war He referred to it as "one of the best pleces of legislation ever written." - Mr. Hutcheon stressed that sche- most instances and that they were found to bring about @ stabilizing effect on the industry. Asked why Bowmanville had not been included in: this district, he said it had been felt that this would include too large a territory. He said it was planned to hold a meet- ing for Bowmanville in the near future. The general meeting was adjourn=- ed for nearly an hour to allow the operators to hold a discussion among themselves. At the conclu- sion of this session, H. R. Stark announced that the employers de- sired time to organize and to give the matter more careful considera- tion. In acceding to the request for further time, Mr. Hutcheon urged that the operators meet within the next week and that they then meet a committee from the employees' association. The date of the next general meeting will be announced later but it was decided that it should be within the next 30 days. Sikhs Fear Rights Loss New Delhi, June 13--(Reu- ters)--Viscount Mountbatten, the Viceroy, resumed his talks on Britain's new plan for India with the "big seven" Indian leaders today. Thre Sikh groups, the Panthic Assembly, the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Patindhi Pantic Board, published a resolution in Lahore which said that "while the plan is designed to carve out a sovereign Moslem state to sat isfy Moslem demands, it fails to provide for the Sikhs any position of power, or status, or any means for the protection of their inter- ests in the constitution-making machinery." Decisions on the issue of par- tition of Bengal and the Punjab will be taken at meetings at Cal- cutta June 20 and at Lahore June 23. Accent on Youth, Class Is Told St. Catharines, June 13--(CP) --At the Ridley College prize day yesterday, Dr. R. S.

Settle for 15 Cents Detroit, June 13--(AP)--The la- bor scene in the United States au- tomobile industry took on a bright- er aspect today with settlement of strikes that had made 16,000 work- ers idle, and announcement of a new wage agreement. Three developments in quick suc- cession yesterday brought automo. bile manufacturers close to general labor peace. > The Hudsori Motor Car Company set up production lines again after a two-day halt, announcing it had reached a "basis of settlement" with the United Automobile Work- ers (CIO) on demands of 600 clerical employees whose picket lines had kept 15,000 production workers out of the plant. Hudson's statement came after a Packard Motor Car Company an- nouncement that it had granted its 8,000 UW.A. workers a flat 15- cent hourly increase in return for the Union's agreement to dismiss back pay claims of $45,000,000. Earlier the U.A.W, workers in the Continental Motors Corporation Detroit plant ended their one-day sitdown strike. Only one dispute--a continued strike of 3,800 Ford Motor Company foremen--clouded the labor picture. In the Hudson strike the com- pany's disciplinary action against several "white collar" employees following what it termed a union move to infuence contract negotia- tions brought on the office workers' walkout. A similar situation pre- cipitated the Continental tie-up. The two-year contract between Packard and its U.AW. workers broke away from the pattern of wage agreements--an 11%-cent ba. sic pay boost plus six paid holidays --that has meen established this year: within the automobile indus- try. Packard is the first important car manufacturer to grant its work- ers a flat 15-cent hourly increase. President George Christopher, who announced the agreement, said the firm considered it "justified under present cost-of-living conditions." Street Car Strike Starts In St. Louis St. Louis, June 13--(AP)--A strike of street car operators and bus drivers tied up public trans- portation today in the St. Louis area of more than 1,000,000 popula- tion, The action followed a strike vote taken at a union meeting early to- day. The vote was taken by secret bal- lot after the meeting unanimously rejected the St. Louis Public Ser- vice Company's offer to sign a new wage contract on the basis of a decision made last Tuesday by an arbitration board. The meeting was attended by 2,- 500 members of local 788 of the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach employees (A.F.L.). 'The company contended 'that the arbitration board award of a 17%- cent-an-hour pay increase was fin- al and binding. The union, which demanded a 35-cent increase, held the arbitration board ruling was illegal.

B. Price, C.B, DS.0O., DCM. V.D. president of the Dominion Command of the Canadian Legion, will be invited to visit Oshawa in October, it was de- cided at the regular meeting of Branch 48 last night. President James L. Lovell of Branch 43 told the meeting that at the District Convention held at Peterboro on May 24, Major Gen- eral Price had expressed his will- ingness to visit Oshawa and ad- dress the local branch, Comrade Lovell suggested that an invitation be extended, pointing out that the visit of the Dbminion President could be arranged so that Legion members from throughout the Dis- trict could be in attendance. Members of the Branch were urg- ed to co-operate with the Poppy Committee on Decoration Day, Sunday June 22 by Comrade Percy Carter, vice-chairman of the Pop- Py Committee. It was pointed out that the Legion representatives would be leaving for Union Ceme- tery at 10 a.m. and urged that as many members as possible to take part in the annual Decora- tion Service. Pending approval from Provincial Command the business manager was authorized to collect dues from members on a quarterly and half yearly basis.

Owing to the summer weather it was decided to hold the next meet- ing of the Branch on the second Thursday in July and.to forego the second meeting in June. Claims Plan For Seaway Feasible Washington, June 13 (AP)--Dr. N. R. Danielian asserted today that a system of tolls to make the pro- posed St. Lawrence seaway .self-1i- quidating is both "feasible and workable." Danielian, vice-president of the National St. Lawrence Association, testified before a Senate foreign relations sub-committee consider~ ing legislation to authorize the sea- way on the basis of tolls, said: "There are no legal, internation- al or economic reasons why a toll system on the proposed deep water navigation works on the St. Law- rence is not feasible and work- able." Joining with Danielian in his ad- vocacy of the project 'were Come merce Secretary Harriman; Lt.- Gen. R. A, Wheeler, Army Chief of Engineers ;Willlam Warne, nom- inated to be assistant Secretary of the Interior, and Russell Smith of the Farmers Educational and Co- operative Union of America, King St. Picnic Successful Event At Geneva Park The annual picnic of King Street United Church Sunday School was held at Geneva Park on Saturday last, June 7.
