Low Fares For
Harvesters To

- That’ men ‘who'wish to travel
from British Columbia this year,
to work in the harvest fields of
the prairie, will have the advan-
tage of a specially low rate for
travelling, was the announcement
made this week by the Hon, -A.
M. Manson, minister of labor.

“So far as Vancouver and Vic-
toria. and ‘surrounding districts
are concerned,’’ said Mr. Manson,
‘the rate will be. the same as
last year; namely, a $10 fare to
Calgary or Edmonton, and an
additional half-cent per mile for
‘travel beyond-those points.. We
have, however, . gained an im-
portant 4 hew concession for men
in the Northern portion of the
province who wish to go harvest-
ing.- This year, for the first
time, the same rate will be avail-
able to men from Prince Rupert
or Prince George, or from any
point on the Grand Trunk rail-
way between those cities. The
railway authorities will only make
this concession upon one condi-
tion, that the men travelling to
the prairie must be certified as
bona fide harvesters by the gov-
ernment employment service, For
such certificates it will ‘probably
be necessary for men between,
say, Prince Rupert.and Smithers
to make their. applications ‘at the
Prince Rupert employment office,
and for men between Smithers
and Prince George to apply at the
Prince George employment .of-
fice,’’

The exact date when harvest-
ers will be required from British
Columbia is expected to be fixed
on Saturday, but it is almost cer-
tain to be the. 25th of” August,
In the meantime those desiring
to take advantage of the cheap
fare should advise the fovern-
ment employment service of their
intention. The same -rates for
travel will be available for the
return trio to the coast in the
fall, on a -eertificate from the
emplover that a man has done
harvesting work for a certain
number of: days,

Last vear 6,000 men went from
British Columbia to do harvesting
work on the prairies, —
