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 for. Germa.n revival, just as Hitler's 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- many for utilizing the Germans in the future was one of the great un- spoken thoughts among the delegates' to the last foreign ministers' confer- ence," the committee's report says.

The order - in -council passed ,on July 10 appoint- ing the steel plana, controllers includ- ed heavy penalties. for striking or counselling strikes. But when the 30 - day deadline set on June- 11 for the' settling of the 'dispute passed the strike was ordered. - 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. - way ha'' which the • 4i liRzt NeriletV.ite; claim, ;Prhigher wages a-basile wage of $36,60 for -•a 40 -hour week* This ' is the ' equivalent of raising4he wag,. es of the lowest paid workers In the steel industry 1 ; Ontario front Oi.% cents Per ileus t • 84 cents per hour, e But on but 1. oper ont' R o of the 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. it recognized that the steel increase will set a pattern for organized labor and the union regards itself . as , a lever by which other manufacturing wages can-he'raised- It. ilgADAR.t 1►e, cause ,of the $5 price In rasa,, al- really lreally granted, that the dew,.aipds can be met without any further pricer iia- 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 steadily ahead as a profitable ...._. under- taking...• ' Mr. Hilton boasted of hiscompany's leadership in the steel wage field and made this' point: The' only similarity in the operations of the companies is each makes steel.
