Or so he told a byelection rally here

The Alaska-Yukon Highway, the Premier declared, would

be constructed by the proyince at a cost of $15,000,000 from
ted States on a basis of capital repay-

money loaned by the Uni
ment without interest.

“When the road is built we

Both President Roosevelt and
Secretary of the Interior Harold
Ickes were intensely interested in
the project, he said.

Acknowledgfing that Ottawa had
objections to a foreign power
lending money to a province, the
Premier stated he had not attempt-
ed to make a treaty with a foreign
power, aS some sources had sug-
gested, but that it was “an en-
deavor to cooperate with a friendly
country seeking passage from the
parent nation to an important ter-
ritory.”

Qn the subject of a public works
program, he said: “I urged the Do-
minion government to adopt a def-
inite program of not less than a
three-year period and advise us of
its intentions in order that we
could make plans.’

Uniess Ottawa engaged in more
extensive public. works schemes
this year, it would be difficult for
the province to find ways and
meéans to carry out necessary road
construction and other undertak-
ings, he stated. Nevertheless, noth-
ing would be permitted to stand in
the way of highway construction,
public works and development of
natural resources.

‘CCF Favors
Highway
— Harold Winch

Mrs. Steeves Hits Out
At Conservative Party

HAMMOND, BC, May 19.— The
CCF favors the Alaska highway as
a needed project in British Colum-
bia, “but wants to know how it is
going to be done,” Harold Winch,
MILA, told an audience here Tues-
day night.

The CCE whip thought that the
highway would cost $50,000,000
rather than the $15,000,000 esti-
mated by Premier Pattullo.

Winch was speaking in support
of Miss Mildred Q@sterhout’s can-
didacy in the Dewdney by-election.

The Conservative party felt the
lash of Mrs. Dorothy Steeves’ critic-
ism when she hit out at the Tories’
lack of a constructive platform.

“Tf the Conservative party has
stressed anything in this election
Campaign,’ she declared, “it has
been economy, an economy which
would mean the cutting down of
those social services which help to
make life more liveable for the
working people today.”

cuts will be made and that those
unemployed with no dependents
will be cut off entirely have’
spurred to renewed activity the,
local branch of the Surrey Work-°
ers’ Association and plans for a
demonstration before the Surrey
Gouneil are being laid.

The branch, which has a paid-up
membership of 50, heard G. Grimes,
central committee member of the
Surrey Workers, give a rousing
talk last Monday on Canadian his-
tory, followed by a discussion
period. The spealcer stressed the
need for strengthening organiza-
tion in order to improve present
bad conditions.

Qne-man streetcars are under fire
from the public here as a result of
a crash between two yellow street-
Cars, one of them a one-man Car,
in which thirty persons were’ in-

One Hundred Families
In Company Town Are
Faced With Dismal

Prospect.

CLOSED ALL SUMMER

GIBSON’S LANDING, BC,
May 19.—More than one hun-
dred families in Port Alice face
a lean summer as a result of the
closing down of the pulp mill in
that company town.

According to the latest reports,
there is little prospect of the mill
reopening before next September.
in the meantime those married
men who have their homes in Port
Alice must get by as best they can
or indebt themselves to the com-
pany store—the only one in the
town—at company store prices.

Dyking Scheme Urged

by Surrey Workers’ Association,

Fraser Valley go to Victoria.

The program to be financed by?
the dominion government through
and with the aid of the province,
demands that wages be sufficient
to “maintain an adequate and de-
cent standard of living.”

George Grimes, as chairman of
the central committee of the Sur-
rey Workers and Farmers Associa-
tion, spoke,.to the brief and other
matters pertaining to relief in the
course of the council’s proceedings,
particular approval being accorded
by that body to a clause which
called for suitable work to each ap-
plicant.

Main outline of the brief request-
ed that rivers and lowlands be
dredged and dyked; improvement

Municipal Council Endorses
Surrey Workers Program

CLOVERDALE, BC, May 19.—The municipal council here
endorsed a program of work and wages presented last Monday

pared by the Surrey Council on local relief matters for presenta-
tion to the provincial government when other reeves of the

to be embodied in a brief pre-

of parks and beaches; the exten-
sion ofawater systems to South
Westminster; sidewalk on the Paci-
fic Highway; sidewalk on the Scott
Road; tunnels under the GNR
tracks at White Rock; a modern
hospital for Surrey; the slashing of
all road corners to road lines, and
the elimination of dangerous high-
way and level railway crossings.

Reeve Hunter will present the
brief at Victoria.

The council passed a resolution
requesting the government to place
the listed unemployable and chron-
ically indigent cases on the basis
of 80-20 relief. All assistance to
single unemployed will be cut off
during the summer months.

Earlier this year the company
brought a crew of 12 men from
Vancouver at a cost to each man |
of approximately $30 in fares for
the round trip. First class fare on
the boat to Port Hardy is $13.50, the
Quatsino Navigation company, a
Subsidiary of the mill company,
charges another dollar for the trip
to Port Alice, and there is also a
taxi charge of $1.50.

Because of heavy snow and con-
sequent difficult working condi-
tions, the men obtained only 22
days’ employment before being sent
back to Vancouver. A deduction
of $7 was made from each man’s
wages to ensure that none would
get stranded in Port Hardy and be-
come a charge on the company.

The mill at Woodfibre also is
now running only two weeks in the
month.

Yellowhead
Road Urged

Support In North BC
For Preposed Hiway

PRINCE GEORGE, BC, May 19.
—Construction of the Yellowhead
highway from Prince George to
Jasper and the conditional acquisi-
tion of Mount Robson Park by the
federal government were urged
here by 4 meeting of representa-
tives from a dozen northern Brit-
ish Columbia centres.

The proposed highway would
connect Prince George, Prince Ru-
pert and Edmonton, with an exten-
tion from Jasper to Tete Jaune
connecting with the road already
built eastward from McBride
through Tete Jaune to Valemont.
The meeting also hoped that the
still uncompleted Blue River-Kam-
loops road would ultimately link up
with the McBride-Valemont road,
the proposed Jasper-Edmonton
road and the federal highway now
under construction to connect
Banff and Jasper national parks.

Discuss Plans :
For Irrigation.

LILLOOET, BC, May. 19:—Plans
for the irrigation of Fraser River
benches to the south of Lillooet by
pumping the water of Cayuse Creek
will be discussed with residents
when Hon. K. C. MacDonald, min-
ister of agriculture, tours this dis-
trict in the next few days.

It is believed that new land for
fruit-growing would be opened up

by such an undertaking.

Low-Cost Scheme Wanted

Council Urged To Act On
Acute Housing Situation

Use of the large number of city tax sales lots as first pay-

ments under the Dominion Hou

the city council this week by Ald. H. D. Wilson, who urged

that body to try every means t
ing situation in the city.

Ald. Helena Gutteridge stated she®
would be glad to further sugges-
tions which would hasten a hous-
ing scheme, but warned that the
while question must be considered
in two phases. The main weak-
ness in the federal housing project,
she declared, was the fact that
people must have money to tale
advantage of the government's
offer, and must have collateral,
steady employment or other guar-
antees.

“What is needed most, and what
is not provided for under the Do-
minion Housing Act, is a. large
number of low rental houses for
people who have very little money
or low wages, and this can only be
done with government subsidy,’’
the CCF alderman stated.

There were thousands of people in
the city who could not pay more
than $15 a month rent and feed
their families properly, Ald. Gut-
teridge maintained, on the basis
that the average city wage is $750
per year.

“They have done it in New South
Wales,” Ald. Wilson averred, giving
figures to show that 12,000 men
were given two years work on

municipal housing projects fi-
nanced partially by the state.
Ald. John Bennett impatiently

declared that use of city property
in any scheme would be illegal, as
in any scheme would be illegal, to
which Ald. Fred Crone answered:

“You tampered with tax sale
properties to the limit last year
when you set aside 50 per cent of
the revenues for water and sewer
construction. We could get per-
mission from the government if
you simply did not want to be
stubborn.”

New Triangle

A triangular curb-enclosed lawn
will be laid at Carrall and Hastings
streets, to be known as Pioneers
Place, the city council decided this
week. The exact location will be be-
hind the peddlars usually to be
seen at this intersection.

Housewives
Campaign

Appoint Organizers
To Set Up Branches

Appointment of organizers by the
executive committee of the Greater
Vancouver Housewives League to
set up branches of the league in
South Vancouver, Vancouver Hast,
Kitsilano and Grandview was de-
cided at a meeting held this week,
and a canvass of these communi-
ties will be undertaken to Secure
members.

The need for strong organiza-
tion to reduce present high prices
of food was stressed, and to offset
the threat of compulsory pasteur-
izzation of milk, a bylaw for which
comes up for discussion in the so-
cial service committee of the city
council next Monday.

The executive committee an-
nounced also that the league had
severed all relations with W. R.
Bradbury, its former organizer, and
requested that all communications
be addressed to Mrs. E. M. Winter,
president, suite 31, 621 Hast Sev-
enth avenue, or Mrs. J. D. Norton,
secretary, 2621 Keith drive.

Monkman Pass Is
Said Best Route

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, May
19—Addressing the Board of Trade
here Tuesday night, Frank Murphy
of the Monkman Pass Association
stated that the Monkman Pass
Route to the Peace River country
provided the easiest grade through
the Rocky Mountains north of the
Panama Canal.

Fifty-five miles of the highway
have been constructed by volunteer
labor, but the remaining 95 miles
to Prince George have yet to be
built.

materials to Japan in strongly—
worded resolutions, but while the
federal government hesitates to act
British Columbia's mining mag-
nates are reaping bloody profits.
They are able to report at their
annual meetings, as Granby’s Presi-
dent N. L. Amster reported at the
meeting of his company last week
that “Granby is shipping to Japan
as fast as we can produce.”
Japanese interests have long-
term contracts with Granby to take
all eopper produced and some idea
of shipments already sent to Japan
can ‘be obtained from the report
that 6,695,652 pounds of copper, an
average of 2,231,878 pounds a month,
were produced in the first quarter
of this year. Production for April
was 2,300,000 pounds.

Average price a pound was 9.65
cents, refinery base, with President
Amster reporting that production
costs had been reduced from 8.06
cents a pound to 7.83 cents.

City To Assure
Fair Wages Paid

Assurance was given city council
this week that while the tender for
paving Terminal ayenue is more

labor would be paid fair wages un-
der the dominion act.

Dominion Day, aldermen were in-
formed. Ald. Fred Crone pointing
out that every precaution must be
taken to avoid accidents as the
opening of this speedway would
have a profound effect on down-
town trafic.

A grant of $3,000 was made by
the city. council to decorate the
city and stage open air dancing on
July 1, Ald. Gutteridge slyly re-
marking: “Just another way of
feeding some unemployed without
admitting it.”
