(From New Liskeard Speaker) Very much surprise was expressed _ thrcughout the North when the daily | papers stated that Premier Hepburn _ had refused to help the City of Toronâ€" _ to to provide for unmarried men, who _ were unable to securse employment. The _ Premier is said to have made the stateâ€" _ ment that these men could get work _ if they tried and that hundreds could _ find work in the North, presumably in _ the bush and in the mines. Naturally, _ the Premier was endeayouring to reâ€" . lieve the province of responsibility reâ€" garding Toronto‘ unemployed.

Timmins, Kirkâ€" land Lake and other. northern sections, _ and in practically every case they have stated that they could not get work and had passed through trying exâ€" periences. Just a short time ago a very decent young fellow from Old Ontario came to our home for a meal. He had | left Timmins early in the morning and had secured a ride to New Liskeard. Ours was the sixth house he said he had tried to get a meal at during his short time in town. He stated he had _ been in Timmins for a considerable length of time, spending what little money he had, until he finally had to ask for food. He was a very preâ€" sentable young man and one who would 1 § have been given work. by the majority . of employers had there been work available. He stated, and we have seen . it ourselves, that large numbers of men â€" stood around at various mining camps in the hope that they would be given employment.
