Wage Boosts For Trainmen
The national war labor board authorized 10 cent hourly wage increases for 17 060 trainmen on Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways retroactive to June 1. A second decision added similar raises for other Canadian Pacific employees, including engineers telegraphers and maintenance staff, with regional specifics and prior August 28 increases noted for CNR workers.

Net spread by Yard in search of Duchess jewels thieves
Scotland Yard investigators extended a cross country dragnet into Europe to locate thieves who stole part of the Duchess of Windsor jewelry. A Canadian army staff car was noted as a key clue near Ednam Lodge in Berkshire, where the theft occurred Wednesday night. The duke says jewelry value inflated by press reports, denying figures above £20,000, while police describe a cat burglar as the thief who climbed to a second story window. A large quantity of gems was later found scattered on a golf course, adding to the mystery of the case.

Britain Won't Resell Wheat Under Canada Pact
The United Kingdom will not resell Canadian wheat bought under a four year contract. Prices for the first two years are set at 1.55 dollars a bushel with a minimum 1.25 to 2 dollars for the last two years. A resale clause allows shipments to other nations if deemed appropriate as world bread grain supplies change. UK officials note potential losses in resale if world prices rise, while Canada loses a guaranteed market in the final years.
