All who are acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Starling, Sr., extend to them sincere sympathy in this time of sorrow. Curling Rink and Skating Rink Have Been Opened so active and noisy in furthering the strikes in various ways. It may not be too much to take for granted that Hon. Mr. Price is thinking of some action in the matter at an early date. Indeced it is quite possible that the Attorneyâ€" General‘s department has facts and the beginning of the trouble The Adâ€" vance has urged a full enquiry into rates of pay and camp conditions to deâ€" cide whether there are genuine grievâ€" ances that make the strikes necessary as a matter of protection for the men, or whether the real, cause of the trouble lies with the agitators who have been figures now in its posscession to back up the attitude that may be taken by the Government in forcing a settleâ€" ment of the several strikes. â€" +"On behalf of the Government," Col. Price is quoted as saying, "I would like to say that we think the time has arâ€" rived when both the men and the comâ€" panies should sit down at conference and settle their differences. The dis~ pute, with nothinvy accomplished, has gone far enough. Both the contractors and the men should be glad to mediate if they believe in the worth of their claims." He revealed that Hon. William Finâ€" layson, Minister of Lands and Forests, had been trying for some time through his department to bring men and emâ€" ployers in conference. clared that the time has come for bushmen and their employers in the Port Arthur, Fort Frances, Cochrane and Iroquois Falls districts to settle through arbitration or mediation the difficulties that have led to the recent strikes throughout the North. Any such plan seems to presuppose an inâ€" vestigation to determine whether camp conditions and the rates of pay are fair or not. No sort of arbitration or mediâ€" ation can really be effective unless it is known just what the conditions acâ€" If Hon. Mr. Finlayson has been "tryâ€" ing for some time to bring men and employers in conference," it is to be hoped at least, and, perhaps, taken for granted that the Minister of Northern Development has information and data already gathered with which he may expose any false arguments from either side in the controversy. With hundreds of men gathered together at places like Fort William and Port Arthur, Cochâ€" rane, Ansonville and other points, it seems essential that something should be done about it all. The longer it is allowed to drift the more dangerous the situation is likely to become. At Toronto this week Hon. Wm. Finlayson denied charges of "incompetency and indifference" levelled at him by Hon. Time for Mediation Says Hon. Mr. Price Hon. W. H. Price, Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario, at Toronto this week deâ€" Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario I\viakes Reference to the ‘Strikes in Proâ€" gress at Northern Bush Camps, Investigation Likely. Peter Heenan in a speech at Kenora. Hon. Mr. Finlayson is quoted by Toronâ€" to despatches as affirming that he had never refused to investigate conditions in bush camps, as requested by the mayor of Fort William. "It was true," he was quoted as saying further, "that he had received further information on the subject from the police." » This statement would seem to indicate that some measure of investigation has been carried on already. A full enquiry that would enable the public to learn the truth would greatly facilitate matâ€" ters. â€" In his interview with the Toronâ€" to newspapers, Hon. Mr. Finlayson said his department had not appointed a commission to investigate the situation under authority of legislation retemd to by Hon. Mr. Heenan. Hon. Mr. F‘ln- layson stated that his department Md the whole question under careful conâ€" sideration. There seems to have been time enough now for all sorts of conâ€" sideration. It is some sort of action that is now desired. During the past week the fire brigade were only called upon to answer couâ€" ple of alarms. ~The one was on Friday last, Dec. ist, at 6.10 pm.
