I Ipiincc Uupctt Daily j:3cUi$j Wednesday. January 15, 1917 RUFERT AIR SERVICE Activity of Prince Rupert is the fishing industry. The fish aie fondltioned for shipment loyally, jpr in ancillary regions nearby, and are shipped by rail and water throughout the continent. 1 The Queen Charlotte Islands to be serviced through the central point of Sahdspit produce mainly pulpwood for conditioning elsewhere along the coast, or lumber for world markets. The Stewart mining area, which we wilt consider herein to be largely a part of the Prince Rupert industrial picture, similarly produces metals for world consumption. It follows, therefore, that trade and commerce between Vancouver and the rural points "mainly consists in that necessary for the operation and maintenance of semi-heavy industry operated at bases distant from Vancouver. Transportation between the areas mainly concerns itself with the transfer of personnel, the shipment of replacement and installation parts, per -ishable supplies, and the neces PRESENTS (Continued Iium Page l) sities of liiu for the population operating those industries. It is noticeable at once that in the general transportation picture so described, speed of transfer is of the utmost importance in two types of tw'fic personnel and replacement parts. KAPI1) TRANSFER PRIME NECESSITY Further, a major portion of the industry of the rural regions is operated through local branches from head offices in Vancouver.. In view of the complicated procedure necessary o operate widely scattered subsidiaries of Vancouver fishing, lumbering and mining companies, rapid exchange by mail of written instructions, orders and monetary transfers is a prime necessity for the area. Upon the basis of these urgent requirements for air transportation, therefore, stands the need of each of the points of call for more frequent and rapid transportation between themselves, and to Vancouver. f jfFf ?

TERRACE Transfer&Taxi Storage WE MEET ALL TRAINS-SERVICE TO ANY POINT IN THE DISTRICT (II. Smith) P.O. Box 107 Terrace Unanimously favoring retention of price controls in Canada, Prince Rupert Citizens' Forum last night went even further and agreed that the country's economy would benefit by a floor price under the primary products raised by initial producers. In backing up its support of price control, the meeting went on record with the opinion that the present government de-con-control policy is proceeding too quickly. Under chairmanship cf M. II. Waters, the dozen. persons at the meeting also agreed: 1. That removal of ceilings on wages and salaries would net make it impossible to hold the ine of price control. 2. That wages should be tied in with the cost of living index by law. Speaking in favor of price control, John Husick asserted that they should be continued "or salaried people and wage earners will find it harder to meet their ordinary needs." It is hard now. but it would be much harder If the controls came off. Carlo Hansen, Junior Cham jrr of Commerce delegate, de claicd that money is fairly free at present and much of it is invested in Victory bonds and other sound securities. "If controls are dropped, prices would soar and these bends would have to be sold to meet ordinary needs," he said. ; "That is definitely against the policy of personal saving advocated by the government at the time the bonds were sold." Eric Faure, arguing that since price control has held off inflation, it could withhold inflation as well. He moved that there should be minimum as well as maximum prices on all necessary goods. This motfon was defeated, and the meeting went on record as favoring floor prices only for primary goods, such as initial farm and fisheries products. Slow Removal Is Advocated G. G. Withers, Chamber of Commerce representative, favor ed extremely slow removal of controls if they must be removed ;o that prices would not have a Steamship Sailings For Vancouver Monday ss Princess Adelaide 10 p.m. Tuesday ss Coquillam, 1:30 p.m. Thursday ss Prince Rupert 11:15 p.m..

Removal of wage . ceilings would not endanger the price control structure, mainly because the economic law of supply and demand works more readily" to depress wages than it does manufactured products, the meeting agreed. A growing" pool cf unemployed is in evidence in Canada at the present time, snd this would remove the danger of wages soaring to the detriment of price ceilings.

A flexible minimum wage structure balanced to the cost of living index would be desirable. Any attempt to tie the wage structure to the cost of living index by voluntary agreement between labor 'and management would fall, the meeting decided, because too small a portion of Canadian labor is organized and thus would be at the mercy of the employers.
