Old Age Pension Increases Debated In Commons
Ottawa reports a heavy Commons session as government plans raise old age pensions by five dollars a month and create a federal labour code and coal board. First readings were given to pension and labor bills, with details to follow.

The cost runs to many millions as provinces adjust to new rules.
