Received Saturday, 11 a.m. OTTAWA, Aug. 23. Mr. Mackenzie King is returning from Paris next week to cope with the grave industrial situations involvii^g 40,000 strikers throughoixt Canada and' affecting the steel, rubber, electrical, automobile, textile, mining and chemical industries, whereof the majority of the C.I.O. is demanding increases of from 15 to 25 cents an hour.
Meanwhile, Parliament has adopted the investigating committee's report, recommending sterner action against both labour and management wh,en the legal machinery for adjusting disputes is disregarded. The report also urged firmer price control and closer relationship. The National Labour code committee placed the responsibility on the Government for settling the steel strike. While a heavy vote in the House supported the report, the speakers unhesitatingiy criticised the Government for its lack of policy thereby underlining the Prime Minister's return to meet the industrial emergency.
