Last month there were 2387 accidents which came within the pro- visions of the Act, Chairman Price said. "Allowance of compensatiod un- der the act," Mr, Price said, "is a matter of right, and not of charity."

WESTERN CANADA NOT ALL UNION | The Presbyterian Association Contradicts Statement by Rev. Dr. Pidgeon. Edmonton, Alta, Nov. 29. "To say that there is in the West an earnestness, a depth of religious passion, behind the movement that is simply irresistible is a gross ex- aggeration of the facts," declares a statement handed out here yesterday on behalf of the Presbyterian church Association for Edmonton and Northern Alberta, regarding certain reported statements of Rev. George G. Pidgeon, at Toronto, on Monday night. "On the contrary, there is a great apathy toward organic union as pro- posed," the statement continues, "and a wave of indignation has swept over western Presbyterians, as they have recently learned some- thing of the unjust and coercive na- ture of the proposed legislation to incorporate the United Church. For years Presbyterians of the East have been given a decidedly wrong im- pression of the western situation. It the west is solid for union, as is alleged, how can Dr. Pidgeon ex- plain the vote at the recent Alberta | Synod meeting, which, on a motion to appoint eighty coubeillors to re- present this province on the United Church board, carried the motion by only four of a majority, 32 to 28?
