At that time, Provincial Trade Commissioner Robert S. O'Meara assured the support of his department In obtaining an "even break" for Prince Rupert as a deep-sea shipping port.

Consequently, ship owners hesitate to use this port, claiming that the difference In cargo with that which they are aJlpwed .to .load at Vancouver Is sufficient to materially affect the profit of a voyage: Hon. Mr. Eyres has written to federal Minister of Transport Lion Chevrier expressing his (indorsation of a resolution passed last September by the Pacific Northwest Trade Associatl&n which urged that Prince Rupert be nlaced in the same load line zone as Vancouver and other southern ports.

LOAD LINE provincial or federal governments," Mayor Daggett said. "It should carry considerable weight." i In a letter covering a copy of his communication with the federal Minister of Transport, Hon.

The matter was scneduled to be brought up at the International convention for the safety of lives at sea held in Seattle this month but E. T. Apple-whalte, secretary of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce, said today that he has been advised by telegram that the conference Is mainly considering labor problems and that the load line regulation are not on the agenda.

CONTROLLING OF NEWSBOYS Select Committee to Debate Glasgow's Right to Regulate Street Sale of Newspapers LONDON, W; The right of a .'ity to control ihe street sale of jewspapers was upheld by a par-!amentary committee consider-ng the Glasgow Corporation Jill. The issue was raised by Cmdr. Thomas D. Galbraith, Conserva-tve member for Glasgow Pollock, vho wanted to exclude a clause n the measure giving the city uch powers. But his amend-, stent to that effect was rejected by 182 votes to 68. t Cmdr. Galbraith said similar powers had not been granted .any other city and the free sale if news was essential to the continuance of a democratic community.

Woods, Labor wember for Mossley, .said a vital principle was at stake.
