Mark Canadian
Maritime Dispute
VANCOUVER, B. C., UP> —
Violence broke out for the second
consecutive night Wednesday in a
bitter waterfront dispute sur
rounding the Northland Naviga
tion Co. The company’s operations
to northern British Columbia ports
has been halted.
A beer-parlor brawl Wednesday
night involving some 40 men was
a sequel to a similar donnybrook
Tuesday night. Three men were
injured in the latest fight, and
four arrested.
Cecil McSorley, manager of a
downtown hotel parlor, said a
group entered the beer parlor and
shouted “scab and goon” at an
other group inside. Then they
threw glasses and chairs and the
seated men returned the fire.
Police broke up the brawl after
about 10 minutes. The trouble was
laid to members of unions in
volved in the Northland strike.
As coastal communities began
making preparations for emergen
cy measures to supply food and
necessities, a federal conciliation
officer saw some primise of new
developments.
It was understood the federal
government was planning to fly
food into stranded communities,
which normally get supplies from
Northland’s 11-ship fleet, the only
regularly scheduled coastal serv
ice for many of them.
The Northland dispute began
June 26 when the National Asso
ciation of Marine Engineers (CLCt
struck for a 20 per cent salary
increase on the present rate of
$330 a month and up.
Captain H. C. Terry, president
of Northland, said Wednesday he
was tying up all his fleet and
would not initiate attempts to
meet the union “until the situation
has cooled a bit.”
He said he was trying to arrange
for supplies to be carried by fish
ing vessels from Prince Rupert to
beleaguered communities.
Some communities have begun
rationing fresh foods.
Bread was reported short in
Bella Colla while potatoes and
other vegetables were being ra
tioned at Queen Charlotte City.
Port Hardy reported some short
ages of food and Minstrel Island
was making temporary arrange
ments for supplies.

TOKYO, (2P> — Japan was vir
tually cut off from the outside
world for more than two hours
today when a gigantic magnetic
storm interrupted all overseas ra
dio links. The only commercial
channel operating was a Danish
owned cable running under the

Europe.

Funds Approved by Senate
Appropriations Committee
WASHINGTON, UP — A bill
providing $1,258,836,300 for plan
ning and construction pf water
projects in the fiscal year which
began July 1 was approved Wed

proved the 44 new starts voted'by
the House and added 58 others, in
cluding those Alaska projects.
