Canned Fish Supply Better

WASHINGTON, (P)-The agri- culture department said today the civilian supply of canned fish for the year ending next July l will be about IS per cent greater than in the past year despite a smaller pack.
 Civilians have been allocated 473,000,000 pounds compared with 510,000,000 last year. This amount, however, is far short of pre-war consumption which averaged 600,- 000,000 pounds annually.
 A reduction in military and ex- port requirements permitted an increase in civilian supplies de- spite the fact that the pack is now expected to be about 35,000,000 pounds less than last years 6o0,- 000,000 pounds.

Green Backs Lewis
 In CoalStrike Fight

WASHINGTON, (P)-Denounc- ing the governments policy, AFL president William Green today said the miners who have volun- tarily walked out" will not return until a new soft coal contract is signed
 Green in a statement vigorously backing up the now silent John l.. Lewis, declared:
 Tn my opinion the governments resort to the injunctive process with it's enslaving and incriminat- ing effects, will have the opposite result of that intended.
 Instead of returning to work the miners who have voluntarily walked out will voluntarily refuse to return until a new contract be- comes effective"
 Green spoke out as Lewis gave no public sign of the course he will pursue in his present collision with the government.
 Lewis has served notice that his United Mine Workers contract with the government ends at mid night tonight. Miners have been leaving the pits by the thousands, with the midday total reported above 127,OOO.
 The federal district court here has ordered Lewis to recall the contract termination notice.
 Referring to this order, Greens statement said:
 The govenmcntre representatives. adding insult to injury to the workers of the nation, have re- sorted to the use of injunction process and as a result have made an extremely bad situation much worse. Labor regards this step on the part of the government as a violation of the Marris-LaGuardia act. It represents force, violence and the threat of punishment on the part of the government"
 Greens statement attacking the governments use of the injunction followed by several hours a sim liar denunCiation by the CIO con- vention at Atlantic City,
 The AFL leader added:
 Neither troops with bayonets, nor court injunction, nor incarcer- ation of miners or their represen- tatives in jail, can serve to produce one single ton of coal. Only the skilled, trained, courageous, free mine workers who are willing to risk their lives in the coal mines each day, can do this"

With this idea in mind, Mark fol-
lowed his men down to the fiat ter
rain in the evening, and had supper
with Nat Page at the rnillsra now
again empty and silent.
Madame Gingras, the wife Of the
mill superintendent, served them,
making quite a little fuss over
Mark. Plump little Madame Gin
gras was motherly soul, and liked
to put forth her best efforts to please
the young bachelor who had taken
over the mill. Mark didn't dream
that his romance with Madeleine
was already the chief subject Of
conversation in the settlement.
Mark was a man to be filled up
with beef stew and strawberry pie.
But he wasn't one Of st. Victor. He
was an American who would pres
emily be gone, leaving St. Victor to
itself and its own secrets, and it
was too bad about the seigneur's
wife. Nevertheless, Madame Gin
gras mothered the two men, BEAM

her pastry.

smoked their pipes together. "Td

"And Broussac?" asked Marx.
"He is a distant relative OF my

I do not love him; and anyway,
how could I marry him when my
husband is alive?"
She came closer to Mark; he put
his hands upon her shoulders and
she swayed toward him.

married him half-an-hour before the
feet sailed for the sealing-grounds,
to protect the little property that
my father had left. He was the
lighthouse-keeper then. / never
loved the seigneur, but he was un
homme gallant. There was not a
girl within fifty miles of St. Victor
but was in love with him. He was
the sort of man woman loves
Monsieur Darrell, because he was
SO rash, needless, careless, as it the
things of the world were all his toy.
''He had begged me to marry him
since was thirteen years old. l
did not love him, but I was fascinat-
ed by him. And, if married him,
my fathers little property would re-
main secure.
"Father Lacombe married us half
an-hour before the sealing fleet
sailed for Newfoundland, and have
not seen him since. They say ne
died., If he had died, I should feel
it here" She struck her breast
again.
''My cousin Horace Broussac
managed the estate He lost great
deal of money! do not know how
and he was forced to make you a
lease of the mill and those three
thousand arpents. Later, he made
some money for me in the market:
And so I want you to 60, because /

husband. Will you go?"
Madame, you have signed a
lease with me. Your request is not
fair to me, or my hackers"
"But Horace wants to marry me" +"

marry him, and that the seigniory

The last log of lumber had passed
through the mill along the fiume,
and into the hold of the second of
the waiting schooners. These had
departed for Quebec. Soon there
would be an additional ten thousand
dollars to Marks credit-not much,
but enough to enable him to face
the long period before the lumber
would come whirling down the St..
Victor again, and to make few inn
provements on his lease.
Leaving Nat to take charge of
the mill and the bookkeeping, he
started to repair the corduroys
over the swampy, districts, and the
drags along which the felled trees
were drawn to the skids at the
edge of the gorge. All day long the
sounds of axe and hammer rang
through the trees.

A Conference With
The Parish Priest

81 cannot marry. I am not free
to marry, neither Horace nor you, !"
she had said to him. Was there any
thing to that idea of hers that the
seigneur had somehow survived,
five years after he was reported
drowned at sea?
He couldn't believe it-and yet it
was a fixed and dominating idea in
the girls mind. She had kissed
him, told him she loved him, but
that idea of hers stood between
them, and probably would always
stand.
She had told him that the reason
why the three men hated him
Andre, Macintosh and Vitard-
was because they knew the
seigneur was alive. They resented
his presence there. So did all St.
Victor, as if it foresaw the love af-
fair that was destined to spring
from it.
In the night, brooding, Mark
would see the one-two, one-two of
the lighthouse flashes, and, when
the fogs choked the Gulf, he would
hear the steady, throbbing note OF
the foghorn. Years seemed to have
gone by since that night when Nat
and he had been cast ashore in the
storm. And Mark hadn't seen
Madeleine again. He knew that she
did not want to see him.
Then what of Broussac? What
of his schemes to marry her?
Madeleine had asked Mark to pro-
tect her against Broussac and he
had promised to do so. How was
it to be done?
Thinking the matter over, Mark
came to the conclusion that the key
to the situation lay in Father La
combe. A parish priest knows ev-
erything. If the seigneur was real
ly alive, Father Lacombe would
know. And he would know exactly
what had happened when the ice
foe, carrying Kinross, was de-
tached from the main icefield. and
carried him away into the fog.

frankly.
He could see that this was no
