Ottawa, hAug. 25--(OP)--One of Canada's bi_ggest shoe manufactur- ers testified z before the Prices Com- mission Tv lesday that his firm's net profit on , a pair of shoes had risen 13.1 cents since 1939, although the percen' cage of profit 'dropped. H. 1H. Gibaut, President of the h Ritchie Co. of Quebec, said er questioning by Commission nef + profit was 16.2 cents a pair, It wads 29.3 cents in 1948.

Anya earlier witness, O'Neil O'Hig- a supply officer for the Prices i, testified that the average of men's shoes rose from $6.78 to $1%1.91 this year. Quésestioned about prices and pro- fits, r. Gibaut said his company ha dg; held prices during the period of deps-control. Later on, when leath- er Mrices rose, the company had no | added the full replacement cost to ites selling price.

Members Ottawa, Aug. 25 -- (CP) -- The Canadian Congress of Labor has decided to seek an interview with Prime Minister Mackenzie King to post another protest against rising prices, The Congress' executive council took the decision at a meeting here Tuesday at which disciplinary ac- tion was taken against one of its members--the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Work- ers--and several members of the British Columbia Federation of Labor. The LUMMS.W. was suspended from the CCL for an article in the union's newspaper attacking A. R. Mosher, President of the C.CL. and the Canadian Brotherhood of Rail- way Employees, and C. H. Millard, Canadian Director of the United Steelworkers of America. The ar- ticle, Mr. Mosher charged, made "false, misleading and obviously malicious" statements. The meeting also decided to seek a declaration from the government on steel policy, particularly as it affected the construction industry. This 'step was taken at the instance of Mr. Millard. Dealing with prices, the council endorsed a stand taken by Mr. Mo- sher and Pat Conroy, Secretary- Treasurer, in a letter to Mr. King and members of the cabinet last Aug. 10, asking immediate action to re-establish price controls and "halt the inflation now in full swing." The Vice-President of the B.C. Federation of Labor, Harvey Mur- phy, was barred for two years from attending a C.CL. convention as a delegate or from acting as a dele- gate at any chartered body of the CCL. He was alleged to have made "slanderous remarks con- cerning C.CL. officials" at a fed- eration banquet in Victoria last April 8. Regarding the IJUMMSW. sus- pension, Mr. Mosher said after the meeting he could not say what his action would be in the event the union applies for re-instatement It would depend on what action the union took. Under, C.CL. constitution, the suspended union may re-apply for affiliation "after making amends" or may appeal the council decision at the Congress' annual convention in Toronto in October. R. H. Carlin of Sudbury, I.UM. M.8.W board member, said there was no basis for the offending article and the author of it had been discharged from the union staff, HORSE COULDN'T READ Brantford, Aug. 25'-- (CP) --A horse that couldn't stop at a stop sign crashed into an automobile at an intersection here. in the collision rider Alberta Goulet, 20, was tossed off the horse and slightly hurt.

PINDER DIES Toronto, Aug. 25--(CP)--Ro- bert Taylor Pinder, Vice-Pres- ident and Sales Director of the Welland Manufacturing Com- pany at St. Catharines, died in hospital here Sunday night. His widow and three daughters sur- vive. His father, Richard Pinder, and a brother, Richard, Jr. live in Hamilton. ASK BUTTER ExpoR1 BAN Niagara Falls, Ont., Aug. 25-- (CP) --Stamford Township Tuesday sent a resolution to Prime Minister King and Federal Agriculture Minister Gardiner, asking for a ban on the exportation of butter from Canada to the United States.

PROBE YOUTH'S DEATH Tillsonburg, Aug. 25--(CP)-- Police were still probing the death of John Jennings, about 20, whose body was found on No. 3 highway early Monday morning.

DAVIS DIES Gananoque, Aug. 25--(CP)--Dr. John James Davis, who practiced medicine in Gananoque for more than 40 years, died yesterday, aged J 73. Born in Toronto, he was edu- cated in London, Ont. and grad- uated from the University of West- ern Ontario in 1897. He was a notéd Mason. Survivors include two daughters, Helen and Mary E.

A number of firemen were removed to hospital suffering the effects of the heavy, oily smoke. 2 4 --Globe and Mail Photo Interpreting The News By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst The latest conference between Stalin and the wegtern Ambassadors ic said in diplematic quarters to en- courage hope for an east-west set- tlément of the battle of Berlin, If we took this as a basis for spe- culation, we would be entitled to believe a settlement of the whole German imbroglio might be achiev- ed. Indeed, a well-informed source in Moscow suggests as much, However, if our analysis isn't go- ing to run away with us we first must recal] the fundamental basis of the quarrel between Soviet Russia and the western world. That is the declared determination of Moscow to carry out world revolution for the destruction of "Capitalistic" governments and for the establish- ment of Communism in all coun- tries. We. must start from. that prem- ise. We must recognize that Mos- cow doesn't want peace, for the rea- son that it would block Bolshevism's aim of communizing the world. The Reds might make truces from self interest, but these would be only pauses in the global revolution. John Foster Dulles, foreign policy adviser to Thomas E. Dewey, Unit- ed States Republican presidential nominee, laid down a very clear statement about Communism in a speech Tuesday at the Assembly of the World Council of Churches in Amsterdam. Said he: "The Soviet regime is not a re- gime of peace and, indeed, it does not purport to be. It may not, and I hope that it does not, want inter- rationa] war. But if so, that is a matter of expediency, not of princi- ple. Violence and coercion are the accepted methods, class war being however, usually preferred to na- tional war." That strikes me as a fair sum- mary, So we ust arrive at the con- clusion that any agreement about Berlin or Germany as a whole will be merely a truce, and not a step towards general peace, so far as Russia is concerned. Why a trice at all? Well, the Rus- sians aren't in a particularly happy position, As I have pointed out in previous columns, their offensive aimed at the conquest of Western Europe has bogged down, Moreover the Russians are find- ing difficulties in consolidating their gains. Among other things the So- viet zone in Germany is suffering from a shortage of food and fuel 'The Red revolution in Greece is be- ing crushed. Premier Tito of Yugo- slavia is openly defying Russia. There is anti-Communist ferment in numerous satellite states. It wouldn't pe surprising to see the Russians "pause for consolifla- tion" in Europe. Meantime they suddenly (ave launched a wide- spread offensive in Southeast Asia. It appears that Eastern Asia might be the Armageddon for the stand against Communism. DR. SISSON WINS TROPHY Peterborough, Aug. 25. -- More than 1,000 individual spikes = of gladiolus in many colors made a beautiful showing at the 1948 Pet- erborough Flower Show, sponsored by the Peterborough Horticultural Society. Dr. Sisson of Bowman- ville won the T. Eaton Trophy, em- blematic of the grand champion- ship in the gladiolus section, also taking the W. H. Mantell Trophy for the best pure white spike. Dr. Sission piled up nine firsts, four seconds and nine thirds to win the championship. bis PLANE RUMOR SQUELCHED Ottawa, Aug. 25 -- (CP) -- De- fence headquarters all but laughed Tuesday at published reports that Canadian Army Intelligence had "proof" that Russia was massing aircraft in Siberia within striking distance of Canada. The reports said Defence Minister Claxton gave that information to James For- festal, United States Defence Sec- retary, during their talks here last week. : Little Return From High Pickering Taxes Irate 'Taxpayers Claim Pickering, August 25.--"Pickering Township taxes are too high, and all we get in return is dust in our eyes during the summer and no- thing but mud in the winter," said Frank Martin, Sr. of East Wood= lands, addressing a meeting of rate- payers Monday at the, home of D. J. Howe. The meeting was called to protest a near 100 per cent tax raise caused by the new 'scientific' assessment scale recently imposed .by Ontario County on the townships. The meeting was but one of a series to be held this week by rate- payers all over Pickering Township. In most cases the 1948 tax bills have teen doubled and in some cases tripled. One building in Clare- mont, a ratepayer claims, has been assessed at $800, and this building has only one room, one door and one window. Appointed chairman of the meet- ing in School Section No. 3, G. McLean said he knew of one man who was assessed at more than it had cost him to build. The meet- ing approved a resclution by Mr. McLean that a mass meeting of township - ratepayers be held on Monday, August 30, at East Wood- lands, and that ratepayers at the meeting send back their 1949 assess- ment papers for purposes of appeal. On the suggestion. of Robert Campbell, who said the ratepayers could not blame Pickering Council since it was merely operating un- der orders from the county assess- or, it was agreed to request the assessor and township clerk - to attend the meeting. Another complaint of ratepayers is 'that withcut warning the due date for payment of this year's taxes has been set back to Sept. 15, instead of Dec. 15, as previously. "The trouble is that the ratepay- ers have only just begun to take an interest in township affairs." Horace. Brown, president of Pick= ering Township Ratepayers' Asso- ciation, said today. : "This county assessment has been in the wind for three years. The new tax date has been discussed for 18 months," he: pointed out. "The Ratepayers' Association has warned the taxpayers repeatedly over the past two years of what was going to happen." Will Smash Toronto Mobs er McCallum Toronto, Aug. 25--(CP)--Mayor H. E. McCallum said 'Tuesday night he will order police to break up street-corner gangs of youths who go under such colorful names as "The Beanery Gang" and "The Junction Boys" and who are blamed for recent acts of rowdyism. The mayor's action followed re- ports that members of these two rival gangs took part in riating at Wasaga Beach, 80 miles north- west of Toronto. last week-end. The mayor said he will ask for a special police detail. "We're going to ferret them out and see that the gangs are smashed." The Provincial Attorney-Gener- al's Department was said to be considering laying more serious charges against the 13 youths -- 11 of them from Toronto--arrested at Wasaga Beach. They are scheduled to appear tomorrow in court at Barrie, 30 miles southeast of Wasaga, on charges ranging from drunkenness to assault. One official said an assault on J. R. Murray of Cleveland, O.. who said he was sitting on a hotel veranda when "aboue 15 youths" attacked him, may provide & the basis for more serious charges, Ground. the Band Shell The O:zhawa Salvation Army Band will be the guests of the Regimental Civic Band Thursday evening and play the concert at the Band Shell: | A very fine program has been pre- pared and should be enjoyed by all tusic-lovers. Bandmaster H. Gentry has con- cluded 2 stirring marches, "Heroes Of The Combat" and "Under Two Flags", by Coles, and also by this same writer the meditation, "The Old Rugged .Cross" and the tone poem, "Divine Pursuit" will be fea- tured. For those who appreciate the works of one of the first writers of S. A. music the recent work of Coles "Divine Pursuit" will have special appeal. It is based on the epic poem of Francis Thompson "The Hound of Heaven" in which . the gifted Irish poet describes in language tra- gic and sublime the experiences of a humon soul which, fearful of pay- ing the price of allegiance to God, tries to escape from Him, but in vain the tremendous lover ever ar- dently pursues. This number is in four movements--The Fear -- The Flight--The Tireless Followers--The Surrender, The assisting artist will be Fen- wick Watkin A.T.CM., former Osn- awa pianist and now of Toronto.

Old Copy Book Found In Attic On Display An ancient school copy book, dated July 29, 1861, and inscribed with fine copperplate handwriting which would put most present-day experts to shame has been discov- ered in an Athol Street attic here and will be put on exhibition in a window display at Walmsley and McGill's store tomorrow. The book, bearing the name "Miss Baker", was found by J. H. Burr in the attic of his house at 73 Athol Street West, and is filled with problems in arithmetic and tables of weights and measures, While the ink is somewhat faded, the clear writing and figures staud out plaine ly. It is believed that orre DOOk was used in Centre Street school. Whether Miss Baker was a teacher or a student is unknown. Mr.. Burr found the book in an old jute bag, such as was the fashe ion for carrying school books .in those day Sub-titles written in the book are such as "simple ade dition", "simple subtractions", "sime ple division", and long division. The Walmsley and McGill display will show the contrast between school books and bags of the old days and those of the modern era.
