Now that they are back in their home, communities striving to improve con? ditions as they aflect boys, I hope they will receive every encouragement and support from the members of service clubs across the province.“ hocers Must l4‘ill Orders as Issued by Relief Officer.

The committee realizes that the most of those on relief and practically all the merchats are honest and are doing their best to play fair in every way. Those who will not play fair, however, are a direct injury to all the others and the intention is to assure that there will be no abuses. either on the part of those on relief. or those filling the orders, in reference to the relief orders “Sad. / It will avoid much unpleasantness for those concerned. not to mention the unfairness that should not be allowed. if those given relief orders and the merchants filling the orders are care- ful to live up to the specifications of the relief officer in the matter.

One very interesting item was the amount of relief money ex- pended in the three months just passed. This amounted to over $500. 00. It was decided that all relief cases in future be turned over to the Timmins Relief Committee, but in cases of emergency the executive committee are to inves- tigate and decide whether relief will be given by the Legion or the case turned over to Timmins Relief Fund.

The town council welcomed the co-Operation of the club and after con. ferences, the Timminzs Relief Fund Committee was formed, consisting of representatives from the town council the Kiwanis Club, the Hollinger Mine. This committee at once proceeded to put into effect the plan of each man in steady employment contributing a day‘s pay to a fund for the helping of those less fortunate. This fund was to aug- ment the town‘s expenditures for re- lief, not to replace it. It was agreed that the town should continue its re- lief as before and that the Timmins Relief Fund would provide the addi- tional finances required for the further cases and the additional need now foreseen. It was decided that the ad- ministration of the fund should be in the hand of the municipality, with. H. E. Montgomery. town clerk as treasurer. Also that all relief be administered by ; I. E. Dunn, town relief officer. the com- ‘mittee giving assistance in the work of investigation. Each and every case is I. E. Dunn. town relief officer, the com- mittee giving assistance in the work of investigation. Each and every case is to be thoroughly investigated so that only the worthy ones may be helped. As the final administration is in hands of the municipality. the principle fol- lowed by the town to the present that work be provided every case where men are in good health and condition they will be required to work, the idea be- ing to keep up their morale as well as their health and strength. The Tim- mins Relief Fund committee has al- ready investigated a large number of cases and much good to all concerned has resulted from this. Only bona fide residents of Timmins are be helped, and there is the fullest nee that every dollar will be expended wisely for the relief of the needy and worthy.

Gardiner and four other provincial officers went in to look things over. lFlrom reports reaching here thettrouble seemed to be the men who were “on strike" but had not left the camp were ready, perhaps anxious, to . return to work but their "leaders while agreeing to the idea of others going to work, held out for the condi- tion that the others who had come in to accept much-needed work should the forced to leave before the “strikers” resumed work. As it was not a case of any union and as the men generally had agreed on the wages offered, the condition that some who wanted to work should not be allowed to do so was one that could not be entertained at the present time] It seemed a case where two or three agitators were really causing all the trouble, and it appear- ed unfortunate, to say the least, thatl these two or three should stop some-i thing like a hundred men from a chance. to make a living or help themselves. Many of the men who were anxious to go on with the work at the rates offer- ed were beginning to resent the agita-. ition and there appeared to be serious ‘da-nger through the attitude of the few ,who apparently did not desire to work i-themselves nor want to see others at ,work(§erg't. Gardiner had gone into the camp before and straightened out difficulties there and had secured as much as the contractors felt they could possibly afford to give the men. This! had apparently been satisfactory to the men, but the agitators had come for- ward then with increased demands. When these had seemed to be impos-é sible and the men in general were evi-v dently realizing this, the agitation was changed to the demand that all men working during the dimculty should be driven out. 'Sergt. Gardiner and his men visited the camp on Sunday and were apparently able to induce all con- cerned to look at matters in a fair way and ith regard for the rights of other The Advance understands that the men are back at work and that there is notinterference with the men who were unwilling to stop work at the behest of a few agitators. Repoats from the camp this week are to the effect that everything is going along all right, which may be taken as the facts of. the case in view of the fact that the police were able to leave again Mon- day morning. having had no difilculty while at the camp and leaving none behind them.

A man who wanted to sell vegetables. meat. etc.. from door to door. asked for exemption from the. peddler's li- cense for the next month or two. He had been out of work for about seven months. Mayor Drew pointed out that he would not need a license to sell pro- duce off his own farm, but that meat was another thing. “Every dollar you make would be a dollar taken from mer- chants who are paying taxes." said the mayor. The council was anxious to help him out. but could not see how this could be done in regard to meat. as the by-law laid down the rules in the matter. On a vote being taken the council was against the by-law being broken in regard to the peddling of meat. A tenant and landlord were both present to see if the council could help the tenant who was behind with his rent. The landlord explained that no one in his family had the chance to work, and if the council could not help out in the matter of back rent due him he would have to put the tenant and family out of the house. The tenant said he would like to explain the situ~ ation privately to the council; The council thought he was living in too expensive 8. house.
