LABOR AND SETTLEMENT

J. G. Turgeon, M.P., for Cariboo, hrs
not much use for the resolution passed
by the Trade & Labor Congress at Nia-
sara Falls recently in which the Con-
sress opposed the proposal to settle
ten thouand British settlers in North-
ern B.C. In a speech at Goldridge,
BA4, expressed himself as very much
in favor of the settlement and as op-
posed to the Labor Congress.

Niagara. Falls is a Jong way from
Northern B. C., and few of the dele-
sates in attendance even know that
there ig such a place, Therefore jt is
not to be expected that the delegates
would have the feoggiest idea of what
ther were discussing or of what they
were voting on.

The Hornby-Croft plan of settling a
number of thousands of British people
on the fertile lands of Northern and
Central B. C. would result in the great-
ext blessing to Canada, British Colum-
hin and to the Northern Interior of
this province imaginable. It would
be the salvation of the country, and of
all industries depending upon people
to use or consume their goods. The
members of the Labor Congress would
be among those to benefit most, and
fivst. nnd the other settler sof the Nor-
thern interior would benefit next, and
equally as much.

It must be that the settlement plan
was placed before the Labor Congress
in a false light, ns the delegates, as a
rie, are pretty intelligent.

WOMEN PROTEST VICIOUS:
LEGISLATION

A woman's organization in Vaneou-

ver has taken-up the matter of the re- | -

tuflers’ price setting legislation passed
al the jast session of the provincial
levislnture. This bit of clas legisla-
tion was clothed with a fancy mantle
of “protection of .the small retailer
aust the vhain and , departmental
stores.” It was the most vicious piece
of legislation ever put on the tarue
hboaks of auy country, At-the time it
was before the House it was Inecou-
ceivahle tha a body of representative
mon could think for a moment of let-
ting it go.threugh, and the only -pos-
siiie exeuse for their: action is that
they did not think Ww ‘hat they were do-
ing,

tr has not ‘taken the women long to
recognize the teeth’ the Reail Mer-
chants’ Association put into that bill
when they were framing it. Neither
did it take the wholesale: merchants
aun munnfacturers long tu take advan-
tage of the privileges #ranted, them,

fhe wholesalers and manufgetarers ,

Jinve the privilege to fix all prices .on
their _products, .and the retailers are
dinble to heayy penalties if they sell
Alny goods Delow the price set by the
munufaeturer and wholesaler. Hence
‘the big increase in the cost of living
today over a yenr or two yoars ago,
Look up your counter check — books
slips and compare them with those you
‘vet today, and the increase of Brices Is
dust starting. © | \
