Let‘s all get togetber and draft byâ€"law .satisfactory to labor and everyone." The resolution was passed asking the Dept. of Labor to enforce 8â€"hour day and 48â€"hour week in ali industries in Mr. Behis again took the floor. "The 12â€"hour day is permissible only if the provincial Department of Labour aâ€" grees, and the employees concerned also Aagree. Why doesn‘t council sit down with labor and settle it to their satisfaction. Labor is the one most concerned." Councillor Doran took the floor. "Evâ€" idently the taxiâ€"owner can drive as long as he pleases," he said, "I believe he should be included in any legislaâ€" tion we pass, Municipality has the jurisdiction to enforce safety laws " Doran: "But is it possible that if drivers are restricted to a 48â€"hour week that they can still work a 12â€"hour day. _Councillor Chateauvert to Mayor Brunette: ‘I was here January 16th when you weren‘t here. Mr. Yates said he nut in 12 hours because otherâ€" wise he was infringing on Dominion laws." . Bartleman: "48â€"hour week won‘t go." Leo "Buck" Behic, union organizer who was in the audience, was granted permission to speak. "For the information of council I have labour laws right here," he said. "And for councillor Bartleman‘s inâ€" formation this is not a Dominion matâ€" ter. It comes under provincial law." Mayor Brunette said the drivers laws should be settled first. Councillor Bartleman:; "Don‘t yell at me, your worship, I‘ve just as much right here as you have. Keep quiet." DelVillano: "When first drawn up it read 123 hours. Did you read it?" he asked the Mayor. "It was changed from 12 to 8 hours. I think we should allow a 12â€"hour day restricted to a 48â€"hour week. At present, according to provincial labor laws, a truck driver can work 12 hours. Our laws at presâ€" ent aren‘t just." : â€"Bartleman: "You don‘t understand it, your worship. Now don‘t lose your head, your worship." _ Brunette: "It was passed as read with apuroval of legal department.‘" Councillor Bartleman: "This is a taxi byâ€"law. It should be in as a safety measure but not as a labour law. At present these two sections are useless." Mayor Brunette: ‘"The byâ€"law was drawn up by our solicitors, Caldbick and Yates. I have considerable faith in their judement." is attempting to induce him to pay a ‘visit to Timmins for the benefit of the French speaking folk. A voice from the audience interruptâ€" ed. "I suppose you‘ll have us working 16 hours a day in the mines." ‘ (Continued from Page One) I have the floor now, let me speak." . He continued, "Under the present byâ€" law a driver might arrange with his other emplover so that he could work just. 7 hours and 59 minutes and then go work 7 hours and 59 minutes drivâ€" ing a taxi. A man could work nearly 16 hours a day without breaking this law. The byâ€"law just says 8 hours or more. If the man works one second less than 8 hours he can go on and work the same time over again." Mayor Brunette: "Our solicitor drew the byâ€"law up. You‘re just trying to create an impression." "Dr. Blatz itinerary for Timimins is not definite as yet but it is certain that he will speak at one public meeting and at several small meetings to peoâ€" ple interested in child welfare and guidance," Mr. Youns said. "And, it is hoped that a mecting can be arâ€" ranged where Dr. Blatz will have an upportunity to speak to all the teachâ€" ers in Timmins; both academic and Bunday School teachers." Ethel: "But Pspa, he says he can At present there is just one biâ€"linâ€" gual assistant director on the Ontario Adult Education Board, and Mr. Young Timmins is fortunate to secure the services of Dr. Blatz, Mr. Young said, for he is a man whose presence is sought after not only all over Canada but in the United States as well. After he has completed his visit to the north Dr. Blatz will proceed to New York, where he will conduct a series of lectures on child psychology at Coâ€" lumbia University.

Blatz, Mr. Young said it was regretâ€" table that there was not an auditorium in Timmins sufficiently large enough to hold the audience that Dr. Blatz is certain to attract.

He said Russia had adopted a realâ€" istic policy and sent 10,000 geologists into the ficld. "They understand the importance of minerals and metals in either a peacetime or wartime econâ€" omy," he sald. He added the technical personnel of the ~mines and resources department are eager to expand their operations in geological reconnaisance and mapping "but those in higher places control the purse strings and the overâ€"all policy." He protested the mining industry is being hampered by controls on the selâ€" ling of their products, by higher labor costs and uncertainty. He said the industry must be encouraged to find new deposits, and that no one would search without being sure of getting substantial profits as a result of the discoveries they might make. J.
