The
office

Piime
Minister
Mac-,
kenzie
King
has
announced
the
repeal
of
the
restrictions
on
the
sale
of
liqquor
which
were
imposed
in
1912.
The

has
been
icvoked.
Commenting
on
the
repeal,
Ontario
Liquor
Commissioner
W.
G.
Webster
declared
that
Ontario
will
do
all
it
can
to
get
more
liquor
but
added
that
an
increase
in
the
liquor
ration
depends
on
the
quantity
of
fpiiits
in
storage
and
the
capacity
of
distillers
to
increase
production
of
beverage
alcohol.

CAN
STRIKE
EFFECT
HERE
'
Canneries
on
the
Skeena
River
and
other
north
coast
points
so
far
have
felt
little
restriction
from
the
American
Can
Co.
strike
which
for
the
last
week
has
posed
a
serious
threat
to
operators
of
fish
and
vegetable
canners
in
the
south.
Foresight
of
cannery
operators,
combined
with
the
distance
from
the
eat"mftnufBcturlng-plant)i
made
it
expedient
for
northern
cdnneriers
to
stock
up
heavily
at
the
beginning
of
the
season.
Thus,
while
southern
canners,
who
usually
operate
"hand
to
mouth"
in
the
matter
of
cans,
are
in
a
difficult
position
due
to
the
stoppage,
northern
canners
for
a
time
at
least
are
In
a
position
to
continue
operations
at
the
height
of
the
salmon
run.
Some
canneries
are,
how
ever,
In
a
precarious
position.
So
far
as
is
known
only
two
canneries,
North
Pacific
and
In
verness,
have
felt
a
shortage
of
cans
and
that
may
be
rectified.
Complicating
the
strike
at
the
American
Can
Co.'s
Vancouver
plant
Is
the
sympathetic
attitude
of
longshoremen
and
seamen's
unions
which
refused
to
transport
or
handle
"hot"
cans.
One
prospect
which
may
result
from
the
strike
is
a
lag
In
availability
of
cans
after
the
strikers
return
to
work.
Un
doubtedly
southern
canners
will
have
first
claim
on
the
cans
produced
at
the
close
of
the
stoppage
which
might
leave
northern
canneries
short
until
the
southern
demands
ate
filled.
Negotiations
for
a
settlement
of
the
strike
in
Vancouver
are
still
deadlocked
today.
