The move to legalize technicians dealing directly with the public has been opposed in B.& for many years by the College of Dental Surgeons, which often hired private Investigators to (ravel (he province and press charges against so-called "bootleg" technicians;
accepted by the IWA and turned down by the operators.
Meanwhile Jacob Hoist, president of Local 1-424, IWA, left Prince George today for Vancouver where he will attend the union's regional policy committee meeting which will discuss the situation in both the northern and southern interior. REPORT REJECTED

"In Canada we have a mlxe* economy�not a free-eriterpris economy. The best guarante that this country will progres as it should is that business am government recognize their re spective responsibilities.
"This Involves a recognitior by government that the private sector of the economy cannot play its part in providing jobs without adequate encourage merit.-

Air. Clyne said: "Protectionists back their demand for tariff walls on the. claim that" mam facturing interests employ on in every four individuals in th Canadian work force�or mor than agruculture, mining, fish in�, forestry and construotiqi combined. From this alleged nu merical superiority Is drawn the fallacious deduction that the in tercsts of manufacturers arc al much more important.
VANCOUVER (CP)�The Public Utilities Commission ruled today it has jurisdiction .over the Pacific -Northern Railway but indicated it will allow the company to continue clearing work near Summit Lake without a PUC certificate.
Walter S. Owen, counsel for the PNR, said the decision will be appealed.
PUC Chairman, Dr. II. F. Angus, said the commission will consider what kind of order it will make against the PNR and submit it to the Lieutenant-Gov-ernor in Council for approval.
The PUC decision was announced by Dr. Angus at the start of the second day of a public hearing on the question

of its jurisdiction over the railway.
The PUC sat for only half an hour today before ending the hearing.
The commission "is of the opinion it has the jurisdiction to make an order against the PNR company under Section 14 of the Public Utilities Act," Dr. Angus said.
The commission considers that for the purposes of Section 12 and 14 of the Act the term public utility has an extended meaning which includes the PNR." NO RELEASE
Dr. Angus said the commission does not accept the contention of he PNR that its compliance with he Railways Act will release it "rom compliance under the pubic utilities act. Mr. Owen argued Tuesday that the Railways Act akes precedence over the Pubic Utilities Act, because it is more specific in this case.
The PNR had argued that it ould not be considered a public utility since actual construction the railroad hat: not com menced.
Mr. Ottyert said it was "rather

Liberals See Federal Election
VANCOUVER &�The British Columbia Liberal party is preparing for another election.
The- party that won' four seats in the Sept. 12 B.C. election is preparing for a federal election which provincial president Frank Lewis said today is expected next spring.
Mr. Lewis said there will be a B.C. party convention Nov. 12 in North Vancouver and there will be a renewed organizational drive.
Ron Fairclough, who led an organizational election, has been asked to carry on with the new federal campaign.
B.C.'s elected Liberal members, led by party leader Ray Perrault, are slated to play a large part in the drive.
The November'convention, in North Vancouver will not include election of officers but is intended to work entirely on organization, Mr. Lewis said.
Curbing of Moonlighting Sought by Labor Council
KELOWNA CP) � The Kejowna, Pcnticton, Vernon and District Labor Council will ask the B.C. Federation of Labor to seek legislation curbing moonlighting � the holding of more than one job.
The council will present a resolution at the federation's convention in Vancouver Oct. 24-28.
Speakers said while some persons held two jobs others had none at all. Others said there are cases of moonlighters being injured because they were too tired from holding two jobs. .
However, the council recognized that in emergencies, such as the annual apple harvest, moonlighting was necessary.

contractual obliga-
J. T. Harvey, appearing for the city of Prince Rupert, contended that the PNR should not resume the work until the position is clarified. "If they continue to work, they arc breaking the law," he said. "They should stop until this decision is ratified or not ratified." ORDER CONSIDERED
Dr. Angus said the commission was contemplating an order saying that preliminary work described in the company's application June 6 for a certificate of public convenience and necessity � later rejected by the PUC � may proceed without a ccrtifi-ate.
However, the company would have to apply, not later thaii hree months after approval of the order by the Licutcnant-Ciov-ernor in Council, for a PUC ccr-ificale either for the entire railway or some part of it capable of independent operation.
Nothing in the order would prejudice proceedings on such an pplicalion for certificate and lothing in the order would re-ease the PNR of any of its obligations under the railway act.
Mr. Harvey questioned the omivtission's posver to make uch an order.
