M.P..
for
Skeena,
who
arrived
here
Saturday

afteriiicsstrmmefirecess
of
-the

"Skeena
has
not
been
affected
by
this
year's
distribution,
but
there
will
be
another
in
1951
which
will
create
a

he
eaid.
"Skeena
then
will
be
cut
off
not
far
east
of
Prince

and
extended
southward
to
include
Powell

This
will
make
it
completely
a

Object
cf
the
1951
redistribution
will
be
to
divide
up
the
western
constituency,
not
on
the
basis
cf
increased
population,
but
because
the

Is

large,,
he
said.

he
Is

to
see
what
the

will
do
with
the
disputed
labor
bill
when
the
House
re-convenes.
"The
labor
bill
was
shelved
until
next
year
because
PrlVifc
Minister
Mackenzie
King
felt
that
some
members
considered

Inadequate,"
Mr.
Archibald
commented.
"He
