Largest and Newslest A motion made by C.C.F. that all soldier settiers be granted clear titles to the land they took ur under a Government scheme after the First War, was voted down by the committee. It voted, instead, for extension to September 1 of a deadline for application for downward _ adjustment â€" of â€" these settlers‘ debts. Veterans Are Denied (Weley To Free Land Titles â€" (P""=" > Ottawa.â€"Its normal ranks swolâ€" len by a strong Liberal delegation, the veterans‘ committee of the Commons hammered out its policy on three contentious issues and reâ€" ceived notice of a motion on a fourthâ€"housing â€" scheduled to be considered shortly. Four Cabinet ministers, several parliamentary assistants and chairâ€" men of other committees joined their strength to uphold Governâ€" ment views, To grant free titles would have wiped out some $5,000,000 in debts affecting 4,563 men. A totul of 5,662 settlers have paid off their debts to a scheme which originally encompassed about four times their number. Total writeâ€"offs by legislation and in interest exempâ€" tions have mounted ot $68,000,000. The committee ruled that real estate agents should be allowed to sell land to veterans under the Land Act. It was argued that their inclusion would simply add to the cost. A notice was given by Major E. D. Fulton (P.C., Kamloops) that he would move that a 25 per cent. subsidy be applied to all V.L.A. homes built on small holdings at a wost greater than $6,000 TORONTO.â€"Lake ship owners rejected proposals for settlement of the lake shipping strike advanced in a formula by the Federal Labor Department, leaving a complete Geadlock in the strike by the Canâ€" adian Seamen‘s Union (AFL). > Waterico County‘s Vol. 89, No. 25 The formula also called for reâ€" hiring of all CS.U. men employed prior to the strike, determination of a collective bargaining agency by a vote of crews on all ships owned by companies now without C.S.U. contracts, and appointment of a Government concilliator in neâ€" gotiations for a new contract to reâ€" place contract expiring Aug. L. Seizure of Ships Said To Be Near The federal formula previously had been accepted in principle by the Union, providing for inauguraâ€" tion of an eightâ€"hour day, main obâ€" jective of the strikers, on a basis ef four hours on and eight hours off. Action of the ship owners in reâ€" jecting the settlement plan left both tne operators and union cirâ€" cles firmly believing that the Govâ€" ernment would shortly accede to Union requests that it take over uperation of the vessels. It was stated by local sources that the federal cabinet would likeâ€" iy discuss the question of the Govâ€" crnment taking over the lake shivâ€" ping. There was no official announceâ€" ment from the closed mecting of the ship operators here at which representatives of 25 companies were present. The meeting, howâ€" ever, sent a telegram to Labor Minâ€" ister Mitchell and other federal caâ€" binet ministers reporting its deciâ€" sion and said an official announceâ€" ment would have to come from Otâ€" ta wa. 20 Million Britons The ship owers were reported to have been virtually unanimous in rejecting tne proposed settlement. Predicted To Have _ Jobs by End Ot 1946 LONDON. â€" Herbert Mortison, Lord President of the Council, told the conference of London employâ€" rs and trade unionists that by the ind of 1946 when it is hoped that prewar levels of domestic consumpâ€" ticn will have been reached, Briâ€" tain will have 20,000.000 people at work. At present something like 15,500,000 people are employed on work for home and export markets.

Mayor Matthews said: "I can onâ€" ly aJirm that the present condiâ€" ton must be cleared up.
