lower price is paid regardless of
whether they are fattened or not.
Types of poultry stock that require
fattening are cockerels of all ages,
whether marketed as broilers, fryers,
or roasters. Capons require .little if
any fattening, ' being usually suffi-
ciently fat and soft fleshed, if killed
off range. Thelabor and cost of
fattening roosters, pullets., and. hens is
rarely 'justified,. Cockerels, of the light
breeds, such as Leghorn, are un-
economical if fattened after broiler
age and are discriniinated against on
most markets.

The Deathbed
Change
Just before his suicide Hitler aban-
doned his great - plan of Gotter-
damerung, the total destruction of the
German state with his own, accord-
ing to the International Committee
for the Stu.dy-of European Questions.
This group, which includes many
eminent British public men like Sir
William Beveridge and Lord Vansit'
tart, has just issued a report. to show.
that Germany's war potential, as a
.result of Hitless decision, is greater
now than it was in ,1938.
•Germany killed 15;000,000 ,people in
ceighboring. countries during the war,
the committee says, but emerged with
an lncrea.se of 71/2 -per cent in it -s own
population.• ''Even under the Potsdam
formula 'for German disarmament, the
committee believes, Germany will re-
tain sufficient heavy industry to build
the armaments of another war.
Rolling Out Of Factories
Many goods like dyes which can be
•used for armament purposes are, 'at -
feeding rolling out of German factor-
ies. Just before the surrender, 'it is
stated, Germany sept 652 of its best
experts into neutral countries. to work

agents worked -abroad with such suc-
cess before the recent war,
Alt this. says thecommittee, is in
aceorda.nee with a plan laid :down by
Hitler on March 28, 1945. TJp to then
he had planned to let the Reich sink
into total destruction if it could not
maintain its conquests. But his arm-
aments minister. Dr. Albert Speer,
finally •convinced him that Germany
could suffer defeat and yet emerge,
equipper! with industry- and manpower
to fight again. r The committee be-
lieves that the present state of Ger-
man industry and, more important,
the German mind, corifi•rms Dr.
Speer's judgment.
Beyond the Urals?
The committee fears that Hitler's
deathbed conspiracy may ,have gone
further than the western world re-
alizes. It' says it has information
suggesting that a number of ,Germanu,
officers, captured by Russia during•
the war; are now "working beyond
the Urals helping. to train new Rus-
sian armies. The possibility that ,the
Kremlin may contemplate harnesing
German nationalists in a Greater Ger-

the future was one of the great un-

ed heavy penalties. for striking or

As the goverment had •not taken
any action to •enforce ' similar laws in
previous`• labor disputes the union un-
doubtedly assumed that it would not
do so in the steels. strike. On that
count its judgment has proven correct
up to date.
The Two Issues
As inaLI other. 'industrial disputes,
heavy going is being encountered,j)i
getting out the facts. But out of the
conflict of opinion -in the testimony of
witnesses, two issues have appear-
ed.
The first is a wage increase of
something between 10 and 191/2 cents
an hour. The companies would grant
10 cents and the union would probab-
le' take 15 cents. •
The second issue is the unihn de-
mand for "national status" for the
steel industry.
Little attention need be paid to the
and United States policy, it is equal-
ly .clear that ,permanent impoverish-
ment and chaos in Germany, the in-
dustrial heart of Europe, will not
make for permanent European peace.'
The problem is to revive the produc-
tive ,power of Germany, and hence
the prosperity of Europe, without per-
mitting it to be used as a basis for
future aggression.
That principle underlies the offer
of the United States to sign a, long-
term treaty for Allied occupation of
Germany but Russia so far has re-
fused to consider it, and for the pres-
ent' at least seems bent on develop-
ing •its own zone in Germany in isola
tion and, as nearly as possible, on
Communist lines. From ' this • fact
largely stems the present Allied stale-
mate in the whole • German problem
which is the central problem of Euro-
pean peace. -

steel workers get that rate. The
rates for others run up to $1.25 per
hour; The pre -strike average of all
workers in Hamilton was 87 cents an.
ilmur and in Algoma it is 84 cents.
Two factors outweighed all others
in the union's approach to the wage
question. The first was the...., price
advance Of $5 a, ton allowed steel pro-
ducers last April. The union. was
given to understand that part of this
increasewas in consideration of im-
pending demands for then wage in-
creases. . Mr. Millard esaid that the
companie9, disputed this and argued
that it was compensation for wage
increases ;Tented during the war.
(Steel wages rose by better than 50
per cent during that period)s., .
Mr:. Hilton of Steel Company of
Canada admitted however that about
half this' increase, In his case about
$2,500,000 a -year, was for increases in
future wages. At the time the in-
crease was granted the union' was
pressing for its 191/2 'cents an hour
raise. Thus one fact• is that under
the price adjustment 'the workers.
were entitled to an increase.The
question was: Haw much? ,_
Potent Factors
•
Ten cents an hour might have been
greed upon but for two facts. One
of these is on the record—the Sloan
settlement of the • lumber strike in. B.
C -_when. 15 cents an hour was con-
ceded. This was a factor in deciding
the union to settle for not less than
that cure.
Another potent factor,, not,yet men-
tioned, is the;, struggle between the
C.C.F. and Communist forces inside
the union. The C.C.F.'ers are in con-
trol. But for some months the Com-
munists have been vigorously attack-
ing Mr. Millard and intransigently
demand no settlement for less than
the maximuni•' union demands.
The union argues, too, that it must
have at least 15 cents an hour as a
social factor. It ..wants to raise the
,standard of living of. the industrial
"workers above the so-called decent
subsistence level. This is put at an
annual income, of, $1,750 a year for a
man. wife and three children.

will set a pattern for organized labor

crease. -
The union, here rune into trouble.
Even the Steel Company of . Canada,
the most efficient of the Big Steel
companies, argues it can give • 10 cents
but, not 15 centswithout a price in-
crease. Aimee. and DOSCO, at Sa It
Ste. Marie, Ontario, and in Sydney,
Nova Scoriae respectively, are in a
different category. -
Algoma has been a loser in terms
of, capital invested for many years. It
has gone through the reorganization
wringer several times. It argues it
cannot pay,igore than eight cents. At
this . writing the DOSCO argument is
not yet"in. But it has always paid
five cents an hour less than the other
two.
-.On the question of national indus-
try status, the arguments are these.
The union wants . to, negotiate with
the Big Three . simultaneously. At
present its officer's must circulate be-
tween Halifax, Hamilton and the ;Soo
to conduct negotiations. Then, too, it
has had to go through three separate.
province labor boards, 'Under nation-
al status it would go directly to the
national labor. ,board.
Refuse To Negotiate
' The operators of the :big`" steel'
plants, however, steadfastly refuse to
negotiate in this manner. Mr. Hilton
of Steel Company of Canada, .told the
committee Tuesday he would have
nothing to do with any such negotia-
tions, though the committee wants to
get the union and the companies
around a single table for negotiation.
Each of the companies is in severe
competition with each other • for the
Canadian steel, market. . While two
companies have struggled to keep out
of . bankruptcy, :the , third has gone

Mr. Hilton boasted of hiscompany's
leadership in the steel wage field and

in the operations of the companies is
