From remarks made by Mr. Iisley and Mr. Glen he believed the government underâ€" stood the plight of the gold mining industry and was ready to give the matter immediate attention. Review Growth of Industry _ C. C. Taschereou, KC, speaking on behalf of the junior chamber of commerce, told how existinwx policles . were encouraging absenâ€" teeism and causing a loss of production. Heé compared the tax treatment given a miner with that given lumber industry workers in the area. _ 0 >0 _ In the brief the delegntion, which said it was speaking for the comâ€" munity and not for the mining inâ€" terests, asked that the government consider f'_nming a 50 per cent deâ€" pletion allowance for tax purposes. Also ll%nted was the ‘exemption of mi from cotporation taxes })ending a return on c:r.gital, estabâ€" ishment of a free market of gold, and appointment of a commission to investigate ways of keeping mines in operation. . 20; $61,000 in Zeptember, _ ‘Two members of the Canadian Mine Workers‘ Union, a Canadian Federation of Labor affiliate, conâ€" ferred with Mr, Glen. They sought The delegation, made ug of repâ€" resentatives of the Val d‘Or boarSI of trade and headed by J. L. Bailâ€" largeon, urged that the ';ovem- ment "carefully consider" the posâ€" sibility of granting l&eeial \tax treatment to the fo mining industry and its employees. _ The government was also asked to consider the granting of a nomâ€" inal exemption per ton mined in order to assure a fair return on capital. ,The brief said that with such a policy less low grade ore would be left unmined and the life of mines would be prolonged. _ _ The mining industry was faced with three main difficulties. The rice of gold had dropped from 238,60 to $35 an ounce when the value of the Canadian dollar was lifted to par with the American dollar. Cost of material and supâ€" glies to the mines had increased by 5 per cent. Now there were indiâ€" cations that mine employees would seek a 20 per cent inrcease in wages. _ __ . ol The gold mining industry was not able to pass along increased costs to the consumer, as had the steel, newsprint and motor car industries. _ _ __ _ _ The brief said that work on some new mining &rojecu was being carried on in the hope that something would be done to help the industry. New Fimancing Needed S "In several cases," it said, "the time has come when new financing of promising progerties will be necessary, and, under present conâ€" ditions, that will be impossible in many cases." _ _ 2 d en Tt ‘The closing of mines would also mean an end to colonization in the area. Mr. Taschereau, looking at the problem from the miners‘ point of view, said lk(fied underground mine workers were losing interest New York Seat Draws $67,000 A New York Despatch states that urn%ementl were . made November 30 for the transfer of & membership in the New York Stock Exchnr‘n‘&e) for $67,000, ar, adâ€" vance of x, over the {nflouu sale. Highest price of the year, $97,000, was paid in February, while the lowest sale price was in the mining industry because taxation policies had vushed them from the high into the low wageâ€" earning brackets. _ |_ V bobinnin . Absiies inens Miners skipped shifts rather than earn amounts that would put them in higher income tax bracâ€" kets. The miners were faced with a 50 per eent increase in the cost of living, but the minas were not able to grant corresponding "fe increases because the price of gold was "frozen." es The miners worked harder than lumbermen and vet were given fewer advantages as far as taxaâ€" tion was concerned. A single man in the lumber indun.g', receiving $30 a month and board, paid only $2.40 in income tax. A miner making the same amount without board had to pay $4.10 in income tax. A married man in the lumber industry, roclivinfgfl) a month with board, paid $1.68. A miner in the same salary bracket and reâ€" ceiving no board paid $6.35 in tax. The difference was due to the fact that the government looked on lumbering as a seasonal indusâ€" try. While that might have held true at one time it was not enâ€" 1ir:l°¥‘ the case toâ€"day, said Mr. Taschereau. He said he did not wish to be critical of the lumber indu¢7, but he wished to point to the differâ€" ence in the tax treatment of employees. THURSDAY, DEC, 12, 1946 Before election took place a very happy duty was performed to Comrade Laura Calvert, our wellâ€" known comrade, not only in Weston but most parts of England, who is leaving on January 18 for a trip to England to visit her mother, relatives and many friends she had made in England. Com. Pres. Mrs. Weir cllleg Com. Calvert to the front and with a few well chosen words &resented her with a cheque for $50.00 as :afi‘lft from the auxiliary, to be ui by her for her trip. Com.

Mrs. Dargie called on Comrade Calvert un% presented her with the sum of $27.00, donations from comrades as a a&)ecial gift to her. By this time m. Calvert was almost bewildered and still made her few remarks of themks. As this was night of election and installation of officers, the yearly refom were then given and every officer and convener of committees were highly congratulated on the wonderful work done durir:ig the year, but many regretted the resignation of Comrade Weir as our president. _ _ _ _ _ ‘The monthly meeting of Ladies‘ Auxiliary, Post No. 213, Canadian Legion, met on Wednesday, Dec. 4, in Legion hall, Elsmere avenue. .
