(CP) -- Ontario | beef producers can help bring down prices in the province by im- proving their pastures to feed more animals, Prof. R. G. Knox, head of the Ontario Agricultural College's animal husbandry , de- partment said here Thursday. It costs between $35 and $40 to ship one steer from Alberta for fattening on Ontario farms, Prof. Knox said. It cost about the same amount to renovate an acre of run- down pasture so it can carry one steer through the grazing season each year. Once renovated, the acre is good for four to five years. Thousands of acres of pasture in Ontario are so poor that each ani» mal needs three acres, he said. ¥ Survey In Yukon Stanley F.

The in- crease, announced by Trade Min- ister Howe, is effective immediate- ly on domestic.sales and Aug. 1 on sales to foreign countries.

OSHAWA DAIRY STRIKE HALTS SUPPLY OF MILK CompanyAgrees ToBoard Report; Half of the homes in the City of Oshawa were without milk supply today as the result of a sudden strike called by the employees of the Oshawa Dairy Company. Unable to reach agreement with the company on matters involving a union shop and a five-day, 40 hour week, the employees, in- cluding the milk salesmen, went on strike shortly after six o'clock this morning, when milk deliveries ceased. No milk is coming into the dairy's plant from the farms, as the éom- pany trucks which do the milk collections are tied up by the strike, so the milk is remaining out on the farms. The strik- ing workers did, however, agree to maintain the usual milk supplies to the Oshawa General Hospital and any other needy institutions, and to the sale of milk at the company's store at 431 Simcoe Street South. The store is being picketed by the strikers, who are urging customers who go there to buy milk to secure supplies from some other source. POINTS IN DISPUTE SED The main points involved in the IT | dispute are the demand of the dairy U.S. WILL W employees, through their union, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store employees Union, Local 561, for a union shop, and for shorter working hours. The final union de- mand was for a five-day, 40-hour week in the plant, and a six-day week for the milk salesmen, with provision, in their 'case, for four- | teen days off, with pay, during the | year, in addition to their holidays. 0 | S | The present holiday provision is for ered---- one week's holidays for men with ..

(CP)-- Drivers of | the McKinlay Transport Ltd., | walked off the job early Thursday tieing up 20 large units loaded with freight for western Ontario de- livery in the yards here. The transport company, one of the largest in western Ontario, employs about 30 drivers and have branches in Toronto and Watford. The drivers at both centres brought in their loaded trucks and then called a strike. Company officials here said or- derly picket lines have been thrown iaround the office. Cause of the strike was "prob- ably caused by our delay in sign- ing a contract' said Murray Mc- Kinlay, 'manager. The union made no demands, he said. Negotiations have been in pro- gress between the company and the drivers who belongs to the General Truck Drivers Union, af- filiated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauf- feurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America. MILK STRIKE (Continued on Page 5) MARINE STRIKE THREATENED IN NEW YORK New York (AP) -- Efforts were stepped up today to avert a mar- itime strike threatened for mid- night tonight when union contracts expire. Three maritime unions and 40 large east and gulf coast shipping companies are involved. Clyde M. Mills, assistant directs or of the federal mediation and conciliation service, said three ho- tel conference rooms have been re- served for talks among company and union representatives and mediators, A spokesman for the largest union involved, the 40,000 member National Maritime Union, said union demands had been "flatly rejected" by company bargainers at a mediation meeting yesterday. The other unions in the negotia- tions are the National Marine En- gineets Beneficial Association and the American Radio Association. All three unions seek a 40-hour week at sea without loss of pay, a wage increase, improved vacations and correction of so-called "in- equities" in pay scales aboard ship. Fresh Red Troops Dig In On Korea's Eastern Front ..Tokyo (AP) -- Large numbers of fresh Red trpops were reported digging in today on the rain-swept ridges of eastern Korea. Reds battled United Nations tank columns on the central front but vanished in the west. Allied tank columns rumbled up two roads toward Kumsong, new Chinese base in the centre. One patrol moved through a mountain pass to the Chupa "area, nine miles south of Kumsong. It met only sporadic fire. Another tank patrol clanked out of Kumhwa, 11 miles west of Chupa, blasting at Chinese along a ridge route. To the southeast, North Koreans showered the allied line with mor- tar fire, AP correspondent George McArthur reported. "The Reds are digging in,' a U. N officer said, "trying to es- ( tablish a defence line." In the Yanggu - Inje area, Red and allied artillery duelled, Mc- Arthur reported. U. N infantry men straightened their lines and. probed Red posi- tions all along the east. North of Inje the allies pushed about a mile through intense fire. Along the western front, allied patrols pushed four miles out in front of U. N. lines without run- ning into sizable Communist forces. (AP) correspondent Stan Carter said "all indications were that the main body of Reds had withdrawn many miles to the north of U. N lines." v 2 The U. 8S Eighth Army said pa- trols operating through the fallen KOREA (Continued on Page 2)
