They intend to press for laws to make industrial agreements legally binding and to require a 60-day cooling-off period in labor disputes affecting the national welfare. On the Isle of Man last week, delegates to the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions' convention warned against interference in industrial relations.

Theoretically, the rise in price of Canada's dollar should add to inflation in the U.S., because it will tend to increase the cost of the raw materials that the U.S. buys up North. But producers of Canadian nickel, newsprint and some other exports intend to hold their prices steady for at least the time being in order to please their important U.S. customers. The rise in other materials is expected to be relatively small. U.S. sales to Canada will very probably increase because Canadians will have to put up less of their own currency...
