LONDON
(CP)
The
Ministry
of
Labor
today
ordered
13,000
transport
workers
to
end
their
five-day
work
stoppage
which
is
imperilling
food
supply
and
delaying

The

will
meet
in

session
Monday
with
the
wage
board
to
consider
demands
for
higher
wages,
improved
conditions
and
vacation
with
pay.
The

is
said
to
be
the
worst
Britain
has
had
since

is
proceeding
with
arrangements
for
a
tour
of
Central
British
Columbia
In
May
or
June
of
this
year
with
displays
and
samples
of

products.
A.
C.

secretary
of
the
bureau,
has
written
to
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Central
British
Columbia
In
con
nection
with
the
making
of
ar-
rangements
for
the
tour
and
the
matter
has
now
come
before
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce.
To
present
the
display,
it
is
necessary
to
have
a
community
hall
with
seating
capacity
of
at
least
500
with
space
also
for
display
tables.
It
has
been
suggested
that
the
Civic
Centre
here
might
provide
the
necessary
venue.
School
authorities
usually
co-operate
as
the
display
is
of
particular
educational
value.
There
are
meetings
both
for
adults
and
children
with
moving
pictures
and
quiz
contests.
Usually
there
is
a
charge
for
admission
with
the
proceeds
going
to
a
charitable
cause.
A.
C.
Foreman,
secretary
of
the
Bureau,
has
intimated
that
he
will
make
a
preliminary
trip
shortly
in
order
to
check
