The discussion on matters of inter- est to the district was long, and from many different viewpoints. But the tinal result Was joint action in regard to the' essential questions, with the why Open for further discussion in re- gard to matters of more local interest. The meeting was of considerable value for the work it did, but the greatest value of all was that the member Boards of the Associated Boards of Trade leanetrinore strongly than ever to making the Associated Boards the mouthpiece of the North. In the past the iliffieulty has been 'that so many voices shouted the par- ticular needs of the North, or rather of one small portion of the North, that the mingled sound confused the ear of the Government. It, needed one vicar voice to be heard. That Voice is the Associated Boards of Trade, whieh while not yet the only voice, is now heard loud above the rest-Ao such an extent that the Government want to know their verdict before de- eision on any question. lied the meeting of the Associated Boards accomplished nothing more than closer union of the various parts qums runs, w the work and 'itn:--- ---Thae the local members of Legis- Lature be instructed to urge Legisla- tion at. next session to put the ,roads of Temiskaming in sueh position that Northern Ontario and that the road from North Bay to Fehrtuiis be start- ed right away to relieve unemploy- meat. nuke L-That the government be asked to increase the grant for the year to three million dollars for the roads of ina follows 'c--. they would be- available for the 40 Fe. grant from the Federal Govern- ot' the north, it would have been an iiuportant meeting.

Welcomed by Mayor Mayor LUehuley welcomed the dele- gates to Haileyhury when the meeting opened. He thought the Associated Boards of Trade was a great factor in the development of the North. Grave questions would come up among them the prevailing unemployment. He was eontident all working together could do unmething to alleviate it.

Junction, on" which the last link was being cut. R. A. Mclnnis, the president, in thanking Mr. Meh uley for his words, emphasized the seriousness of the trade situation. The problem of un- ployment should be faced in a very se- rious fraatte of mind. It was a grave question but there were possible so- lutions of local problems. _ The diff'tealty had been that the de- partment of roads was not authorized T VICE Bow to get Things Done R. A. Melnnis said he had given a great deal of study to the methods by which the North can get what it needs. Both in tluy-loetrl Boards and in the Associated Boards,. things are left undone because through circum- stances the members have not the time to push them through. To get‘li‘ouud this he would make a suggestion. The Associated Boards of Trade was the natural and real or- ganization for expressing the opinion (tl' the North Countryc--At is the one big organization for getting things done, and done quickly if properly used. We should niake nu intensiye and extensive study of the needs of the North and then have a big ean1- paign in 1922 and 1923. There is no place where men take a greater interest in public affairs than in Temiskaming. Bat the. men have not enough time to give to them. He therefore suggested a paid secretary for the Assoeitttion---mot the ordinary secretary but a good man. He was personally prepared. to undertake to raise the.neeessary money to pay one for three years. for three years. in regard to wads he had informa- tion from Mr. Stintun of the Roads department that [nyspl'ing' the road from Latehford to Coehrane would be complete. It would be passible by summer and further work done next Unemployment Serious Mayzu- Merlaehran of Cobalt was glad to hear of progress. but was ';orti' that there was nonvord of the your Mae Lang M.L.A. explained that last session hehad tried to get the le- gislation through but that Premier Drury had told him ir was inadvisable at.. that time to pass it and it had to be dropped. He said also that better and a larg- er amount of work had been done in Ithe North though the Northern De- velopment Branch than ever before. L. A. Lillico, Swastika, moved that the local members be instructed to press the Government at next session to pass the legislation needed to get the. Federal aid to the Highway. l ‘Régarding unemployment he stated m POROUPINB ADVANCE the gold camps were busy and would absorb some labor; silver camps were not active; the worst outlook was in the forests, where the Abitibi was the only large concern operating their woods department this year. For the road and to mitigate the un- egxployment, asdar as he could see the Northern Development Branch was the only source of funds. Appeal to Dominion Mayor McEaehran thought that as 'the Minister of Labor had sent ein. culars asking for suggestions, this was a chance to suggest the road to give. work to the men here. Major Mot'uaig was against apply- ing to the Northern Development Branch. The Government had millions 'Major MeCnaig was against apply- ing tn the Northern Development Braneh. The Government had millions of the Federal giant for roads un- touched. Wg should see the Govern. ment and insist that the work be done. John Vanier, Iroquois Falls, thought the big point was to impress on the Government the necessity of building the road. He did not think the meet- ingnvas representative as it did not represent the great army of workers. He suggested tt mass meeting in the district, inviting all organizations, to discuss unemployment. H. G, Mathewson, Cobalt, thought) in asking; tldl1ighway we were going too fast. First the colonization road, then the highway later. . (R. S. Taylor, Cobalt, thought this a splendid time to press for the road. The Dominion (.‘rovernment was ask- ing suggestions to relieve unemploy- ment. Let the Boards suggest the road. We could leave the request for legislation till the result of that sug- gestion was known. Wesley McKnight, New Liskeard, was afraid Hon. Mr. Riggs was not in sympathy with the National Highway running through Coehrane. He had it figured via bludbury and the Son, though via Coehrane was the shorter. Also the fact that it would take busi- ness from the T. & N. o. was against the scheme in Toronto. Alee Dewar‘did not consider the motion of Mr. Lillieo covered the ques tion. That would leave all action till next year, what was needed was im- mediate action. He proposed the mov. er alter his motion to include first that it be urged on the Government that the road be gone ahead with im- mediately with funds from the North- ern Developinpent Branch, and then that legislation be asked. For Immediate Action _ R. A. Melnnis said that he believed it pussible to get an increase in the appropriation from the Northern De- velopment Fund, on the basis of the present unemployment and the extra- ordinary development of the North since the grant was first arranged. He thought; a definite amount should be asked for, for 1922 and a smaller amount for 1923. w. R. lMcVittie, Englehart, then moved that the Government by, asked to increase the grant for 1922 to three million dollars from the Northern De.. velopment fund, and to start right away on the road from North Bay through this district to relieve unem- ployment. The motign, unchanged, was first earried. , The motion carried and the secret- ary will send a copy to all the Boards of Trade in Northern Ontario. Mayor McEaehran feared this would go t'ltway of all resolutions. He thought there. was hope at Ottawa, as the Minister of Labor was asking suggestions regarding unemployment. He moved that when the unemploy- ment conference was held at Ottawa the Boards be represented by their president. This was carried. Mr. Melnnis said that Mayor Me Eaehran was pessimistic. So was he, but he was pessimistic about Temis- hauling. The district was asking more than onuld be gra.nted. The real needs should be first determined and the requests eoiifined to these. Mr. Ost'rosser moved that"in view of the {mount of work done this year a letter of appreciation be sent to the Government. This was seconded by Harry Child, Matheson, and carried. Mr. )Ielrinis informed the meeting that in a recent eonvefsation with Premier Drury, the latter had expres- sed a desire for a memorandum of the needs of the district. _ _ F. H. Todd moved that this memo- randum be prepared by a committee, the/president to name the committee. Carried. ' x The resolution was moved by Mr. Mathewson of Cobalt, seconded by Major MeCuaig of Haileybury, and carried unanimously. . Meet at Falls m October _ R. S. Taylor brought up the subject of a paid secretary introduced in the presidents address. He was heartily in favor of it. If we got a man with He moved, seconded by Dr. Donnel- ly, that the executive take the necess~ ary steps to raise the money to pay a secretary and report at next meeting.
