In the issue of The Advance of August 6th, 1919, an article on the matter says, in part:â€" "At the conference ,;the miny had agreed to help the employees in the matter of the high cost of living by establishing stores where the mine workers would be able to purchase goods at materially reduced prices. Last week Mr. Brigham and Mr. Ennis, on behalf of the Hollinger and the Mcâ€" Intyre, were able to establish their stores on the promised date by the purchase outright of the J. R. Gordon business at Timmins and Schumacher. Mr. J. R. Gordon, who has successfully conducted stores at Timmins, Schuâ€" macher and South Porcupine during the past several years, has been enâ€" gaged for the immediate present as manager of the stores for the mines. Men working at the mines are given cards which entitle the holders to purâ€" chase goods at the mine stores at cost, for cash. Boarding houses, hotels, etc., are also being allowed a reduction on all goods if they show they have made a corresponding reduction in rates for board to employees of the mines. The reduction made so far will average 15 per cent. off previous prices. The working out of the plan will be followed with much interest elsewhere as well as here, for both the mines and the men seen determined to give it a fair and full chance to test its posâ€" sibilities as an assistance to the emâ€" ployees of the mines in the battle against the high cost of living." a very keen one, the McIntyre winning in the last innings.
