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. © | \

It woukl seem to me that, one of the greatest contributions. that--a: weekly could make would be to give the peo- ple a better. understanding of the world in which we all must live.

Vory. easy. to “set Orangemen against Catholies and visa versa, not 50 easy to get each group to understand the uther, .Further, the. world today its shrinking. It took some of our ances- (ors nearly three months to cros the Atlantic, now it-can be erosed in about n day. Our knowledge of the vart- ous nations has not kept pace with this growing proximity. It is still ensy to start up racinl loud to wit, '
