Into
Its

Mr.

es-
ln
the
prepared
statement
that,
by
the
union's
own
fig
ures,
only
12,700
of
the
37,000
workers
voted
for
walk-out
and
this
vote
was
taken
fourteen
weeks
ago.
A
spokesman
for
the
International
Woodworkers
of
America
(C.I.O.-C.CX.),
said
there
were
no
new
developments
to
report
on
the
work
stoppage
called
by
the
union
ln
protest
against
failure
to
find

The

declaring
that
employees
have
had
no
chance
to
express
opinion
on
the
operators'
offer
of
$1
per

pay
boost,
said
the
provincial
minister
of
labor,
Hon.
George
Pearson,
had
been
asked
to
conduct
an
impartial,
supervised
referendum.
Stuart
argued
that
the
union's
objection
to
the
demand
for
a
referendum
as
confusing
the
strike
issues
was
not
a
valid
contention.
He
said
the
issue
today
is
whether
12,700
workers

Industry
are
justified
In

f
According
to
G.
IL
Stanbridge,
local
agent
for
Queen
Charlotte
Island
Airlines,
a
conference
of
operators
of
chartered
air
services
ln
Alaska
is
planned
sometime
either
ln
Prince
Rupert
or
Ketchikan
within
the
next
month.
Purpose
of
the
parley
will
be
to
co-ordinate
the
flights
of
charter
air
services
along
the
coast.
The
line
which
would
probably
connect
with
the
Queen
Charlotte
air
service
to
Prince
Rupert
Is
Ellis
Air
Lines
of
Ketchikan.
Robert
Ellis,
operator
of
the
Ketchikan
line
has
already
been
approached,
and
Is
said
to
be
contacting
other
Alaska
airline
operators
to
arrange
the
meeting.
Queen
Charlotte
Air
Lines,
which
began
Its
weekly
service
to
Prince
Rupert
this
week,
will
double-
the
Service
within
the
next
10
days,
Mr.
Stanbridge
said,
thus
allowing
two
flights
a
week
for
passengers,
air
freight
and
express.
A
third
flight
may
be
added
later
If
traffic
warrants.
Mr.
Stanbridge
warned
that
development
of
air
transport
to
Prince
Rupert
is
dependent
largely
on
the
seaplane,
base
facilities
available
at
Prince
Rupert.
Without
adequate
seaplane
base
available
for
commercial
purposes,
such
a
service
cannot
be
fully
developed,
he
said.
.
If
such
facilities
are
provided,
he
revealed,
Prince
Rupert
will
be
the
centre
of
a
shuttle
plane
service
which
will
collect
pass
engers
and
freight
from
outlying
points
In
the
district
for
transit
directly
to
Vancouver
from
this
city.
COLD
WEATHER
Damage
to

is,
However,
Slight
WINNIPEG
Weather
has
been
cold
throughout
the
prairies
during
the
past
week
with
severe
frosts
reported
ln
nearly
all
sections.
Seeding
has
been,.delayed
on
account
of
cold
weather
while
frost
damage

above
ground
has
been
variable,
according
to
the
weekly
crop
report
of
the
Department
of
Agriculture
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways.
Damage
to
wheat
will
be
slight
but
some
reseeding
of
coarse
grains
may
be
necessary
where
low
temperatures
occurred.
There
has
been
little
precipitation
reported
and
early
rains
and
warm
weather
are
required
ln
many
sections
to
promote
germination
and
growth.
Weather
ln
the
OkanaganVal-ley
his
been
quite
warm
with
some
showers
which
did
considerable
good.
Nights
have
b;en
cool,
but
apple
blossoms
are
well
along
and
all
growth
Is
developing
satisfactorily.
