In announcing the statement made to the delegation from Ontario, the Resources Minister said he had not told them the government would act to increase wages in the industry. He had been quoted to this effect by a union official in a telephone conâ€" versation from Ottawa to Kirkland Lake, Ontario, following the interview. .

Comâ€" pany officials had rejected the request. Many new gold 'mininF' projects in Northwestern Quebec "are strugâ€" gllng along from day to day in the ope that something will be done which will permit them to carry on," a second delegation from Val d‘Or, Que., told Finance Minister Iisley and Mr. Glen. Tax Question . . s The delegation, made u& of ng- resentatives of the Val d‘Or boards of trade and headed by J. L. Bailâ€" largeon, urged that the government "earefully consider" the possibility of irnnting special tax treatment to the gold mining industry and its employees. Mr. Baillargeon said the Quebec delegation ha received a "sympaâ€" thetic hearing." From remarks made by Mr. lisley and Mr. Glen he believed the government underâ€" stood the plight of the ‘Eold minâ€" ing industry and was ready to give the matter immediate attention. _ In a prepared brief the deleg- tion reviewed the growth of the 5old mining industry in the Val ‘Or~area and outlined the. diffiâ€" culties the industry now faces as & lmult of a drop in the price of gold and an increase in material and labor costs. 80 _ C. C. Taschereau, KC, speaking on behalf of the i'unior chamber of commerce, told how existing tax po]icies were encouraging absenteeâ€" ism and causing a loss of producâ€" tion. He compared the tax treatâ€" ment given a miner with that given lumber industry workers in the area. 0 / W Te 229 WALLACE AVE. ___ MEB. 2491 G. A. Jeffs Weston Zone 4â€"325 PHONE 1000 In the brief the delegation, which said it was speaking for the comâ€" munity and not rur the mining inâ€" terests, asked that the government consider firmfing a 50 per cent deâ€" pletion allowance for tax purposes. Also suggested was the exemption of mines from corporation taxes rending a return on capital, estabâ€" ishment of a free market for gold, and appointment of a commission to investigate ways of keeping mines in operation. . ad The government was also asked to consider the granting of a nom« 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 price of gold had dropped from $38.50 to $35.an ounce when the value of the Canadian dollar was lifted to par with the American dollar. Cost of material and supâ€" plies to the mines had increased by 25 per cent. Now there were indiâ€" cations that mine employees would seek a 20 per cent increase in wa:fi:u'. s f e gold mining industry was not able to pass along increas@d costs to the consumer, as had the steel, newsprint and .motor car industrieg. _ _ 00 __ * The brief said that work on some new mining projects wasâ€"being carâ€" ried on in the hope that something would be done to help the industry. Need Financing _ _ _ _ _ _ "In several cases," it said, "the time ha\come when new financing of promising progerties will be necessary, and, under present conâ€" ditions, that will be impossib}e i many cases." . _ $ [z ;y â€" The closing of mines Gvould;rggfo mean an end to colonization in the Area. Mr. Taschereau, looking at the problem from the miners‘ point of view, said skilled underground mine workers were losing interest in the mining industry because taxation g:)licies had gushed them from the igh into the low wageâ€"earning brackets. Miners skipped shifts rather than earn amounts that would put them in higher income tax brackets. The miners were faced with a 50 per cent increase in the cost of living, but the miners were not able to grnn( corresponding wage increases ecause the price of gold was "frozen." â€" â€" The miners worked harder than lumbermen and yet were given fewer advantages as far as taxaâ€" tion was concerned. A single man in the lumber industry, receiving a month and board, paid only .40 in income tax. A miner makâ€" ng the same amount without board had to(Fay $4.10 in income tax. A married man in the lumber indusâ€" try, receiving $50 a month with board, paid $1.68. A miner in the same salary bracket and receiving 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€" tirely the case today, said Mr. Taschereau. He said he did not wish to be critical of the lumber industry, but he wished to point to the differâ€" ence in the tax treatment of employees.

The high average age of farm people made them wonder how many thousands more farms would be abandoned in the next ten yearsyas many thousands of farm men and women, whose sons‘@nd daughters are in the cities, grew too old for farm worky _ __|_____ _ _ _ The gity man thought that the extension of electric services, making modern conveniences@vailable for homes and barns, would tend to keep young people home on the farm, but he was not sure that this hadbeen true in comâ€" munities which had enjoyed power serviceés for many years.. Basically, they agreed the problem was one of income for comparable skill and w"ofl‘z. 2e es "Let‘s put it this way," the farmer said. "Farming, for those who like the outdoors, is the finest life; but young folks are not going to farm unless they can earn as much as city workers and have reasonable leisure. Farm boys and girls succeed in cities because they have learned to work before they get there. They see their neighbors‘ sons and daughters making good and earning big money in short hours and they know they can go to the city and do the same thing. Nothing but comparable earnings and hours will keep young Canadians on t}‘l‘e ‘far'r'ns. . L "Now, Sam, look at your young Bill. He‘s been out here two summers with our Ted. He likes farming, and he‘d make a good farmer, too. After he got through agriâ€" cultural college, you could set him up with a good outfit. But you are discouraging him. I know why and I know you are right. Bill will find something interesting to do in your business and he will earn twice as much as he could earn on a farm, for half as much work. His wife won‘t have to do two women‘s work, either. It would be different if they could get good help but the help problem has been getting worsé ever since I started to farm and now it has become impossible. _ _ 2oze "As a business man, you depend a great deal on a healthy agriculture and you ought to give a lot of time and thought to the solution of Canada‘s farm problems. If we have adopted a permanent policy of paying people for idleness because they think farm work and house work are all right for farmers and housewives but unsuitâ€" able for them, we should at least let in immigrants who want to go to work at whatever offers, as our forefathers did and as Canadians must«do again if Canada is to get its work done. {s lt _ _ "Somehow balance will be restored between farm and city, most likely by the painful processes of a depression. You will suffer too, and all your employees will suffer. You ought to do your part to restore common sense in this country. You will know when the job has been done. It will be when business men will say, I want my boy to be a farmer."â€"By John Atkins in "The Scene from Shingâ€" wauk Farm."

The aim was to ‘bring forth ideas and sugâ€" gestions to help in planning better and more interesting meetings for the New Year. The annual Boy Scout and Girl Guide Week is not for distant and plans for the Father and Son Banquet and a Parents‘ Night must be laid now. One of the ideas which was unanâ€" imously accepted was to turn our monthly business meeting into a campâ€"fire meeting at which skits, entertainment, games, investitures and other business would make up the program. We suspect that the suggestion that there be "someâ€" thing to eat" at these meetings was most heartily acclaimed. We are hoping to have all canâ€" didate Scouts invested at our first meeting in Januaryâ€"so let‘s get down to work and pass those qualifying tests. We regret that for the next few months, no new candidates can be accepted in the 1st Weston Troop. ‘Be Prepared‘ Last week‘s meeting consisterl mainly of games since the Scoutâ€" master _ was the only leader preâ€" sent.
