No Benefit From Higher Freight Rate Ottawa, Oct. 5--(CP) -- Bigger operating costs -- including wage boosts -- absorbed all the revenue the railways obtained from the 21-per-cent freight-rate increase granted last year, a Bureau of Statistics report shows. The rate increase, allowed March 30, 1948, boosted gross operating revenues to a peak of $875,832,290, an increase of $90,654,370 or 115 per cent over 1947. But expenses -- 17 per cent or $117,305408 higher -- climbed from $690,821,047 in 1947 to a record of $808,126,455 in 1948. As a result, net revenues in 1948 totalled $67,705,835 -- down $26,- 651,038 from the net revenues earn- ed the previous year. Since that time, however, the railways have applied for a new 20 per cent freight-rate Increase. An . interim eight-per-cent increase was granted a few weeks ago, pen- ding completion of Board of Trans- port Commissioners studies on the full 20-per-cent application. Among cost factors facing the -. railways last year were the high cast. of materials and the 17-cent- an-hour wage increase granted em- ployees. | That increase shot up the rail- ' ways' total pay roll charged to op- erating expenses from $391,621,188 in 1047 to $464,532,696 in 1948 -- a jump of 18.6 per cent or $73,911,- 508 It gave the 189,000 workers an average annual salary of $2,606 -- up $365 from the year previous -- and placed the workers as a group "among the highest paid in Cana- da." One Killed When Horse Hits Rail Toronto, Oct. 5--(CP)--A groom was fatally injured and two others were hurt at Long Branch race track when a horse bolted through the outside rail during yesterday's fourth race. Donald J. Conley, 26, of Windsor, died in hospital of a fractured skull when the horse, Little Action, smashed through the rail sending pieces of two-by-four scantling fly- ing into the crowd. Conley was struck on the back of the head with a piece of the railing. George Coady, 46, of Montreal and William Jewell, 16, of Windsor, who were standing beside Conley, suffered cuts and bruises when struck by flying pieces of wood. The horse did not strike or trample any of the men, Jockey Bobby Fisher, who was riding Little Action, slipped his feet from the stirrups when the horse bolted out of control after the break and jumped before he hit the railing. He was hot Injured but the horse required 20 stitches to close the cut in its shoulder. Jewell, a stable boy, said he was standing at the rail with Conley when he saw the horse running wide. "I figurcd he would take the turn even with the amount of ground he was losing," he said. "Suddenly I saw the horse crash through the fence and that is all I can remember." The race was won by Linwood Ghost and paid $28.20. Fisher, un- daunted by the accident, rode Susie Berrill in the seventh race, but ran out of the money. Inspector Captures | 21 Skunks Here September was a busy month for Inspector Lloyd L. Fowler of the Oshawa Humane Society. During the month he received 174 local and 32 outside calls and conducted 31 investigations. That the city is a popular centre for skunks was indicated by the fact that the inspector captured 21 of the odoriferous creatures. Just for variety he picked up three squir- rels, a hawk and a guinea pig. Twenty-seven dogs were destroy- ed and 11 were killed on the streets. Nine stray dogs were picked up. Six- teen cats were desiroyed and nine were killed on the streets. Twenty stray cats were picked up. World Series Fever Strikes N.Y. Fans, Lined Up Tuesday New York, Oct. 5--(CP)--Hund- reds of baseball fans huddled out- side the Yankee Stadium early to- day awaiting the opening sale of 12,000 bleacher seats at 10 am. EDT for the first game of the World Series. The fans began to gather early Tuesday afternoon. Shortly before 3 a.m, police pu; up wooden horse barricades to keep them in regu- lar formation and to prevent line crashing. Some of the early arrivals wrap- ped themselves in blankets dur- ing the wee morring hours and. re- clined on the pavement. Others played cards or listened to all-night disc jockeys on portable radios. The owners of a nearby restaur- ant distributed 30 gallons of coffee among the fans, bringing cheers from the crowd.

Ottawa, Oct. 5--(CP)--Canadian abor today pondered a double- barrelled admonition from Prime Minister St. Laurent to improve production and not to push wage demands too far. His advice: 1. Too-high wages could price Canadian goods out of foreign mar- kets needed to keep her economy at its present level. 2. Productivity (production per man) is the key to a higher stan- dard of living. A third point put forward by the Prime Minister before 800 Canad- an Congress of Labor members Tuesday night was that currency devaluation should result in long- run Canadian price reductions, des- pite labor leaders' claims that it will send up the cost of living, Speaking in careful language but with unmistakeable meaning, the Prime Minister warned that wages could be boosted to the point where unemployment might follow. He said there was such a thing as getting wages so high that Can- adian goods would cost too much to be sold abroad. In such a situa- tion, surpluses would glut the do- mestic market and soon bring about "some degree" of unemployment. Governments must organize some social security -- and he admitted Canada still had some way to go in that respect -- but the extent of social security depended on pro- duction, "The more that is produced, the higher and better can be our stan- dards of living," he said. Mr. St. Laurent, speaking with considerable bluntness for the head of a government addressing a labor gathering, threw something of a jolt into his listeners at the annual banquet held in conjunction with the C.CL.s convention here, Earlier, the convention spent a busy day, giving a reception to Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin of Britain -- a union man -- and passing a series of resolutions aim- ed largely at cutting 'down the cost of living. Living-cost resolutions included demands for the re-imposition of price controls, restoration of rent controls at their pre-war effective- ness and the payment of subsidies on staple commodities, as was done during the war emergency period. The convention heard strong cri- ticism of federal handling of the housing situation and demands from delegates for the immediate start of a low-cost, low-rental housing scheme on a national bas- The convention also heard de- mands for a national labor code. At present, some workers are un- der the federal government's labor code that includes certain inter- provincial industries. Others are Bier the jurisdiction of each pro- vince. Finds "Treasure" --Central Press Canadian, Joseph Dowling, Jr. 11, of Phila- delphia, Pa., has before him some of the contents of a "pirate's trea- sure chest" which he found half buried in a sandbar at Mantoloking, N.J. The "find" consisted of a lot of trinkets and some coins, purport- ing to be gold guineas, half guineas and one-third guineas. A Phila- delphia expert is now examining the treasures to determine its worth after one expert pronounced the coins "not gold" but some kind of gambling tokens. --Globe and Mail Photo. Oil Pipeline Topic Of Warm Debate Ottawa, Oct, 5--(CP)--The con- troversial route of the proposed prairie pipeline for Alberta oil erupted into debate Monday night in the Commons, Howard Green (PC--Vancouver Quadra) opened a free-swinging discussion in which he and George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, disagreed with Trade Min- ister Howe on whether the pipeline should have its Great Lakes outlet at Superior, Wis., or the Canadian Ports of Fort William and Port Ar- thur, Mr. Green and Mr. Drew argued that despite the higher cost, the line should be constructed through Canada and that the Alberta oil should be first used to supply Can- adian needs before consideration is given to exporting it to the United States. ; Mr. Howe said economics and common sense led to the conclusion that the oil should go .through Su- perior, Wis, The cost would be $10, 000,000 more to build the line to the Canadian lakehead and $400,000 a year more to operate it. The minister said further that no permit had been issued yet for ex- porting any of the Alberta oil to the United States. The permit was for transporting the oil to Sarnia refineries by boat from Superior, Wis.,, on Lake Superior. Mr, Howe further expressed the opinion that by free exchange of oil United States dollars would come to Canada. : "To market oil in the United States simply means that you con- vert that oil into American dollars which you use to obtain oil from the cheapest source in other parts of Canada, and that is the sensible way to view the marketing of pet- roleum," Mr, Howe said. Mr. Drew said the remarks of Mr. Howe contained two points of views. "First of all, he made a statement that this pipeline was being carried through to Superior but that no li- cense had been granted for market- ing the oil in the United States, The oil is to be carried to Sarnia. The Balance of his argument was direct- ed to the idea that we should sell our oil in the United States. It is one or the other." "Oh, no," Mr. Howe interjected. "The point is this," Mr, Drew Report From Westminster By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Oct. 5--(CP) -- Reports of unemployment on Britain's ship- building Tyneside cast a chill this week in the minds of men who re- member what happened at Jarrow 13 years ago. Reports said briefly that 1,000 shipyard workers have been laid off at Hebburn-on-Tyne, and that another .500 will be" discharged at nearby yards within two weeks. For the first time since before the war, the pressure of orders is eas- ing. Old-timers estimate there are more unemployed on the Tyneside than at any time since 1939. One forecast said that 10,000 will be left idle in the next two years if no new orders are received. The managing director of the Hebburn Yard said: : "We have been kept busy repair- ing war damage to ships and doing war-to-peace conversions. That is coming to an end, however, and gradually we are coming to be de- pendent almost exclusively on ordi- nary marine casualties and routine work." The manager of a Walker-on- Tyne yard said unemployment is growing particularly: among the finishing trades. New orders Te hard to get because "high costs an wages are resulting in high prices for the finished job." Unemployment anywhere in Bri- tain would be sourly regarded by the Labor party. One of the condi- tioning factors of present Socialist policy is a sharp recollection of what are called the "bad old days" between the wars and a set-faced determination that those days of slump and unemployment shall not return, One of Labor's pet illustrations of continued, "if the oil is to be car- ried to Superior for the purpose of selling it in the United States, then let us know that now, "The statement of the minister lends support to the belief that is developing that the construction of the pipeline to Superior is not for the purpose of carrying oil to East- ern Canada but is to supply the Chicago area with oil. The geogra- phical relationship of Superior to that natural market is apparent." Mr. Howe sald he could not see that it is worth the extra $10,000,- 000 to construct the line to the lake- head. . before 'opening night.

The late Ellen Wilkinson, once Britain's educa- tion minister, called it "the town that was murdered." In 1934 Jarrow's shipyard was sold on the understanding -- later waived -- that it should not be used for shipbuilding for 40 years. The result was misery for the town's 35,000 population, Two years later 80 per cent of the insured population was on the dole. Of 8,000 skilled workers, only 100 remained in temporary jobs. Headed by Miss Wilkinson, 200 unemployed staged a 370-mile hun- ger march from Jarrow to London. For 25 days they plodded through the October rain to band in their petition. po TAKE HOLIDAY Ottawa, Oct. 5--(CP)--The Com- mons decided Tuesday to take a holiday on Thanksgiving Day, Mon- day, Oct. 10.

YOUNG CONVICTED Montreal, Oct. 5--(CP)-- Johnny Young, 37-year-old former wrestter, was convicted Tuesday of assisting Douglas Perrault to evade justice after two Montreal policemen were slain in an east-end bank robbery in September, 1948. He will be sentenced Oct. 27. ' G.M.'s Frigidaire Legal Row Loser Over Trade Mark Ottawa, Oct. 4--(CP)-=--General Motors Corp. has came off second best in a long legal tangle over its trademark, Frigidaire. The litigation evolved from the fact that the Norman W. Bellows Co. of St. Catharines, Ont., a man- ufacturer of refrigerating equip- ment, operated the wholesale part of its business under the name of Frozenaire Cooler Co. Frozenaire was registered as a trademark in 1940; Frigidaire had been registered in 1933. General Motors sought to have Frozenaire ruled out as a trademark on the ground it was too similar to Frigid- aire. Upshot of the case, which began in the exchequer court in 1946 and concluded with a supreme court judgment today, is that both words will be registered. In effect, the supreme court, which affirmed the exchequer court judgment, ruled the names are. not similar, This leaves matters where they stood before 1946, when General Motors decided to take action. General Motors lost its case to have Frozenaire expunged from the register as being similar to Frigid- aire. In a counter-attack, the Bellows Company was successful in getting a ruling that Frigidaire was des- criptive and hence could not be re- gistered under the act. In other words, Frigidaire should never have been registered in the first place. The supreme court of Canada upheld both these rulings, 1 However, General Motors. suc- cessfully sought a declaration from the exchequer court that, in any case, the trademark Frigidaire is distinctive now. This left the com- pany free to go ahead and re-re- gister its mark. SPECIAL!
