Alberta Oil Production Receives Shot In Arm At Leduc
Alberta oil output gained early 1947 momentum as Imperial Oil brought No 1 well near Leduc into production on Feb 13. A second well and a third nearby are also in production or nearing startup, while two test wells have shown no oil. Officials say larger output could cut prairie fuel costs and boost the national economy, given Canada now imports about 90 percent of its oil.

Study Plan To End Strike In Glace Bay NS May 10
A proposed compromise formula for settling the Maritime coal strike goes to United Mine Workers district 26 board amid expectation it will be supported and placed before 33,000 members for a referendum. If accepted, the three month old walkout could end. The Montreal agreement sets a wage rise of one dollar a day from return to work to January 31, then 40 cents a day if production meets set levels. The talks started with demands for 2.50 more than basic pay and a 15 percent production bonus, later trimmed to a 140 dollar increase plus a contributory welfare fund. The union rejected a 1 dollar offer conditional on pre war production restoration.
