Seines and dragging gir freeze up making it practically Impossible to work. Among the vessels tiea up are about a dozen seiners which have been fishing herring off Goshen Island. Their seine nets, frozen solid, cither dangle like boards from the mast booms or Ue in frozen lumps on the, after-decks of the vessels. Closed also because of the cold arc the Nelson Brothers cannery and B.C. Packers' reduction piant at Port Edward.'Both have been processing the herring catch which began coming in two weeks ago.

Lome Godfrey, j arrived in port here Friday morning from Vancouver via , Queen Charlotte City, reporting a relatively calm voyage, despite the great storm that swept the southern coast while she was at sea.

Most of-the scrap fishers and many of the seiners are in port here waiting for the weather man to relent. warmer than the glass -fronted observation room and were quite content to stay below.

Of Nova Scotia, the commission said: "It Is apparent that the Sydney field will be increasingly the centre of production n the province." It agreed with a statement by of provincial official that "although the remaining reserves are very much leis than those formerly estimated, there Is no Immediate shortage of coal substance. . . . The limits, of production will be set not by lack of coal but, by economic factors of mining costs, coal quality and ways of mining it." Of New Brunswick's Mlnto field, figures suggested that "the reserves are sufficient to last for at least 75 years on the basis of maximum annual produc tion to date." Its summary of Alberta: "Ip is clear that Alberta hasl very extensive reserves of bituminous and sub-bituminous coals. . . . Markets, rather than reserves, are the fundamental problem." , Minority Report By Angus J. Morrison, Secretary-Treasurer of District 18, United Mine Workers of America).

Retirement pension plans for miners should be instituted. Companies receiving government aid should be required to adopt standard accounting practices. Provincial governments should take immediate action to eliminate "closed camps" company communities in western Canada in which operators control affairs tightly. Subsidies In separate reports, Mr. Justice Carroll and Mr. Morrison agreed special wartime financial assistance to the Nova Scotia industry should be continued for a limited time by the federal government, if the companies will rehabilitate their operations. General Construction of the St. Lawrence waterway would have both good and bad repercussions on the coal industry. Little expectations exist of developing large-scale synthetics and chemicals manufacture from coal in Canada. Average return to Canadian operators from coal mining In the last. 15 years has been 10 cents a short ton. Development of atomic energy won't threaten' the coal Industry for between 10 and 20 years. Canada's coal reserves are estimated at 99,000,000.000 tons, enough to last for another 2,700 years.
