Additional thousands had to seek other means cf transportation when the non-striking Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, whose members operate the interurban trams, refused 'v drive through picket lines established by the' Street Railway-men's Union (AFL). The two-car trains were brought from the barns, driven a few feet ta the picket lines and then re turned. There was no violence. The British Columbia Electric Railway Co. claims that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has no right to quit as they operate under a separate cgrtement. While absenteeism of down town workers continues fairly light in fpite of the strike, there is a distinct lull in the big downtown stores and entertain ment centres. Neighborhood theatres and stores, however, are experiencing a boom. STRAYED TO WASHINGTON Missing; K.C.A.F.

Besides them, there were seven Air Force personal on the Plane- , . , .u The widespread search for the plane was still held up to day by unfavorable weather in the Okanagan area. More than 25 civilian and Royal Canadian Air Force planes, however, still stood by today at Penticton and elsewhere waiting for good weather search for the the to take up twin-engined photographic plane.

Brade'n, whose home isf " only thirty yards from the spot where the boy's brutally-bludgeoned body was found Sunday morning, reported hearing "cries of distress" ln a childish voice. Mrs. Braden said that, shortly after 9 a.m. Friday, she was lying down at home and "distinctly heard" a boy cry: "Oh Don't." A few minutes later, she said, the same young voice cried this "time ln much more pleading tone: "Please don't" and then the voice stopped abruptly. About an hour later, she said, she saw a man about 25 to 30 years old glancing around furtively as he left the scene. The friendly blue-eyed youngster disappeared while enroute to school Friday morning. His body was found lying In a shallow depression on the school ground Sunday.

NANAIMO BUS DRIVERS BACK Strike at Island City Was of Brief Duration NANAIMO After a brief strike in sympathy with the street railwaymen of Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster, drivers of Blue Line Bus Service serving Nanalmo are back on the job. The Blue Line Is a sub-1 sidlarv of the British Columbia Electric Railway Co. but the dri vers here have a separate agreement from that of Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster.

IDENTITY OF BURNED BODY STILL UNSOLVED Efforts, on the part of the city police tol positively Identify the body which was discovered in the burned ruins of the Central Hotel Sunday afternoon have failed, Sgt. L.,A. N. Potterto said this morning. The body is believed to be that of Lars Johanson, a fisherman who had been registered at the hotel for two weeks prior to last Friday's fire, but the police de partment's hope that identfica-tion could be made through c'.cntal comparison has been blocked by lack of any record at local dentists' of flees. j Four molars had been extract ed, apparently a considerable time ago, and there were no other Indications of dental attention. The body was too badly burned for other identification to be possible. "We have done everything I can think of to identify the body, but we still cannot be positive," Sgt. Potterton said. Probability that the body is that of Johanson is heightened by the fact that while he was seen daily at the waterfront last week, he has not been seeivsince the fire. He owned a small gill-net boat moored at Cow Bay. Coroner M. M. Stephens this morning said that an inquest into the man's death would be held this afternoon.

He said he thought private capital and newspapers should have opportunity to build mills.

Parliamentary Bombshell to Aid Nationalizing Of Steel LONDON (CP) Legislation to nationalize the gas industry and -to amend the powers of ' the hereditary House of Lords was forecast in the Speech from the Throne read by the King at the opening of the third Parliamentary session of Prime Minister Attlee's Labor government. The gas bill will bring under government control the last of tHe "fuel Industries" since coal j was nationalized at the govern ment's first session and electricity at the second. In the only reference to the Upper House, the Speech from the Throne said: "Legislation will be introduced to amend the Parliament Act of 1911." Action on the House of Lords presumably to obviate possibility that ihe Peers might try to delay nationalization of the steel' ' industry until after the next general election which must be held by 1950. It was last-minute action by the cabinet. Even without this bombshell, however, Parliament faces one of the busiest sessions since the Attlee government was elected in 1945. In brief reference to the in- lernationalsltuatlQnthe-Speech-promised continued efforts towards European reconstruction, expressed the hope that the foreign ministers' meeting ln November would result ln "measure of agreement" for the re-establishment of Germany and Austria on a sound basis and urged early conclusion of a Japanese peace treaty. It was a big day for Princess Elizabeth who accompanied the King and Queen to the opening of Parliament, riding in -a separate carriage and sitting in a special throne. RAILWAY IN CRISIS AYLMER, Ont. "The railways of Canada have now reached the point where, with existing freight rates and ln the face of rising costs and fixed charges, they face slow but sure strangulation," stated J. F. Pringle, vice-president, central region, Canadian National Railways, ln an address Monday night before the Aylmer and district Chamber of Commerce. Accompanied by a group of regional officers on the occasion of "C.N.R. Day" here, Mr. Pringle spoke at a dinner which climaxed the visit. "Railway management Is do ling and will continue to do Its pal 1. 111 applying suunu operating practices to all phases of operation but this is a point be yond which ingenuity and wit of management cannot go," the speaker declared. "There Is no other form of transportation on land, water or in the air -which can do the job the railways are doing, either physically or at such low cost. We have no quar rel with competition by road, air or water, provided the competi tion Is on an equal basis of costs and regulation. The rails must take any, or all traffic offered. at rates fixed by governmental authority." TRY TO GET STRIKE QFF MONTREAL A meeting of railway and railway union heads will be held today in another effort to settle the holiday pay question which caused the union to issue a strike call for Canadian railroads effective November 8.
