Army headquarters announced yesterday that Canadian Army, Na. vy, and Air Force personnel posted for duty in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions have been granted special northern allowances. Steel Workers To Seek Scale Exceeding $45 Toronto, Jan. 12--(CP)--A week- ly wage rate higher than .the $456 suggested last October will be sought by - the United Steelworkers of America (C.1.0.) on behalf of work- ers in Canada's three main basic steel plants, it was decided at a week-end meeting of the unions national policy committee. "The present hourly base rate In the tliree main steel plants in Can- ada is 82% cents an hour," said Cleve Kidd, union research director. "This means $39.60 for a 48-hour week and is far short of the $44.45 figure which the Toronto Welfare Council has set as a weekly irredu- cible minimum to provide an ade- quate budget for a family of five in Toronto." Present contracts are due for re- newal in April, Union officials, who expressed belief living costs will rise still higher in the next 2% months, decided to wait until short- ly before the renewal date before setting the amount of additional wages they will demand. Preliminary discussion of the new contracts will start Feb. 2 with Steel Company of Canada in Ham- {lton, Algoma Steel Corporation in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, and Dom- inion Steel and Coal Company of Sydney, N. 8. Pittsburgh, Jan, 12--(AP) -- The 850,000 members of the United Steel- workers of America (C.I.O.) were given a long look last week at argu- ments their union probably will use in negotiations next spring for wage increases from the United States steel industry. "Steel Labor" -- official publica- tion of the big union -- devoti much of its current issue to return- ing to an embphatic "yes" to the question: "Do steelworkers need a wage increase?" Another ringing "Yes" answers the question: "Can the industry af- ford a wage increase?" The newspaper asserted: "In spite of wage increases of 1946 and 1947 the living standards of steelworkers have shown a steady deterioration. Steel profits have risen 204 per cent over 1039. ..119 per cent over the average for war years. . .and climb- ed 50 per cent over 1946." ,' Marshalling the points which likely will be made if steel unionists gather with the United States Steel Corporation April 1 to discuss revi- sion of wage clauses in the current contract, "Steel Labor" declared the industry's "fantastic profits are soaring to undreamed heights." Here is the story the publication laid before unionists: "Price hikes during 1947 increas- ed the steel firm's revenue $16 or $17 a ton since January of 1946 but workers' hourly earnings lagged be- hind, Since wages and salaries ac- count for only about 40 per cent of the total cost of producing steel, prices would have to rise about 40 r cent as much as wages in order to offset fully the direct cost of a steel wage increase, assuming there was no boost in productivity." Although the current contract between United States Steel and the union does not expire for more than a year, th pact provids that either side may open wage negotiations next April 1. Last year the steelworkers won 15-cent hourly pay increases and in, 1946 the wage increase amount ed to 18% cents, Four Gunmen Raid Game Wound Three Gamblers And Escape With $7,000 Montreal, Jan. 12 (CP)--Provincial Police said today they were on the trail of the four gunmen who held up a suburban gambling house Sa- turday night and shot three patrons with a burst from a sub-machine gun. The hold-up reportedly net- ted the bandits about $7,000. The shooting occurred in a farm- house on lonely Cote De Lissie Road on the outskirts of Montreal where the gamblers had been operating for only two days. Morality police arrived shortly after the holdup to make a raid on the premises. There were about 20 persons in the house when the four gunmen entered. Two, including the one carrying the sub-machine gun, were masked. They approached the group around the green dice table and or- dered everyone to put their hands up. A ) ~.Onk of the other two bandits re- - mdined in the doorway while the fourth kept watch outside. The bandits scooped up about $400 from the table and then order- ed all the house attendants and patrons who 'were lined along 'the wall to take their trousers off. One bandit began a search of the going through some trousers when his partner armed with the sub- machine gun fired a burst for no | | night. apparent reason. Three patrons fell while the gun- men made a hasty retreat, fleeing in an automobile, All those in the house also fled except one attend- ant who remained to call police and to help out the injured men. The Provincial Police hold-up squad led by Lieut. Marcel Paten- aude arrived at the farmhouse at the same time as the morality squad which was on the way to raid the game. Police called for ambulances and the three injured men were taken | to hospital.

On Jan. 3 Prime Minister Attlee denounced Russian Communism as a "new form of imperialism" threa- tening Europe. Last Thursday the cabinet met to survey British foreign policy, In- formants said the decisions reached would align Britain closer to the United States in world affairs. Morrison, in the first official ad- dress on world affairs since Thurs- day's meeting, told a regional coun=- cil of the Labor Party that Britain wants to co-operate with Russia, but added: "We cannot be expected to be nappy when country after coun- iry in eastern and southeast= ern Europe finds themselves Sub- ject to undemocratic and unrepres- entative Communist governments, coupled with the suppression of other political parties and freedom ed | of the press, wholesale witch hufit- ing, and even the very unjudicial execution of non-Comeunist poli- tical leaders. "Nobody is seeking to upset the internal security of the Soviet Un- fon," but "can they not begin to reverse engines and to discard pro- vocative policies by which they are not only running the risk of war at some time, but which are impeding the economic recovery and progress of mankind?" Cut Meat Prices 10 to 20 Per Cent As Sales Slacken Toronto, Jan. 12--(CP)-- Buyers' resistance to high prices "has cut general meat sales by at least 10 per cent and has cut sales of bacon by 75 per cent," N. D. Roose, Presi- dent of the Toronto Retail Butch- ers' Association, said today. "Housewives are laying off pur- chases of bacon and the higher-pric- ed cuts of meat especially," he said ang this resistance was resulting in a general slight drop in meat prices. Butchers generally reported a 10 to 20-per-cent drop in the volume of week-end sales. But Mrs, Rae Luckock, President of the Toronto Housewives' Consum-= er Association, said consumers were not being asked to initiate a buyers' strike, > "That will not serve any useful purpose--it will only throw people out of work and further dislocate things," said Mrs. Luckock. "We must press instead for a return of ceiling prices at fair levels." Some Prices Drop When Housewives Put On Pressure Toronto, Jan. 12--(CP) -- The first half of this week,may be the testing days for consumers' resist- ance tg buying meat and vegetables at infited prices, retailers said last A survey showed that week-end- purchases had dropped almost ev=- erywhere in Ontario except at bor- der points wlere shippers from the United States. found it still cheaper to buy in Canada than in their own country.

In this class he listed the two biggest items in his budget: $11 400,000,000 for naticnal de- fence, 28 per cent of the total and $279,000,000 higher than this year; And $7,000,000,000 for foreign and other international affairs, 18 per ig of the total and up $1,500,000,- After allowing for veterans bene- fits, interest on the public debt and tax refunds, only 21 per cent of the outlay would remain for social wel- fare and ordinary expenses of gov- ernment. He injected a note of optimism, however, with an estimate that "under: existing tax laws" federal revenues will yield a record-break- ing surplus of $7,482,000,000 this year and another of $4,808,000,000 in the following 12 months if Con- gress adopts his fiscal plan. Higher Income Income for the 1948 fiscal year, now half over, should reach $45.- 210,000,000, the highest for any year | except the: $46,467,000,000 received? in wartime 1943. | He estimated next year's receipts l} at $44,477,000,000. But Truman insisted the govern- ment should use all excess over spending to scale down the $256, 000,600,000 public debt. The debt | should be cut-to $250,900,000,000 by next June 30 and to $246,200,000,000 one year later. To do this and still leave room for the $40-a-person tax cut he suggested last week, the President reiterated his call for a $3,200,000,- 000 hike in corporation taxes. The new budget is based on the assumption that Congress will ac- cept a variety of other projects outlined in Truman's state-of-the- unicn message which Republican | leaders denounced as "Santa Claus" bidding for votes. "It includes a new program of fi- nancial aid for state school sys- tems, health insurance, extension of social security to-such groups as farmers, domestics ands the self- employed, long-range housing aid, and expanded flocd control.
