W. Wilson's Demand for Consideration Toronto, Feb. 14.--The right of the Government to dictate what business should take precedence was challenged in the Ontario Leg islature yesterday when F, W. Wilson (Conservative. Windsor). interrupted the presentation of Government bills to demand that his motion calling for "beer by the glass" should be dealt with immediately. He wished, he de- clared, to have the matter debat- ed before it was enveloped and lost in the business of the session. Hon. W. D. Black, Speaker of the House, ruled the member out of order. but not before Premier Fer- guson had called forth a hot re- tort by declaring that he would make no statement as to when the motion would be dealt with. The Attorney-General was al- ready on his feet about to intro- duce a Government bill when Mr, Wilson rose. p "Mr. Speaker." he demanded, "I have a motion on the order pa- per which should be dealt with today. I have no desire to break into the proceedings but we wish to have it understood that this subject should be given the earli- est possible consideration. I do not wish to press for a ruling, but the matter is of the utmost impor- tance." "The honorable member {is en- titled to ask .-a question but not to make a speech on the motion," the Bremier interposed. "The business of the Govern- ment is taking precedence today," he continued, "I am not prepared to say when the matter will be taken up." Mr. Wilson: ruling." Premier Ferguson: "The hon- orable member is out of order." "You have a question and the Prime Minister has heen good enough to answer that question," the Speaker declared emphatically. "And that ends the matter for to- day." "I desire a ruling insisted the member, "This question will not be call- ed today." responded the Speaker. "Some time later it may he," "But, Mr, Speaker." the mem- ber still remained on his feet, "Order, please," from the Speaker's chair, and business was resumed, 800,000 OUT OF WORK IN GERMAN LOCKOUT Berlin, Feb, 12--Germany is threat- ened with an industrial struggle which may prove catastrophic by the decision today of the heads of the German metal industry to declare a country-wide lockout on Feb, 22, If the decision is carried out, fully 750, 000 workers will find themselves ad- ded to the 50,000 already locked out, as a result of the metal industry strike in Central Germany.

A large proportion of that sum is understood to be represented by liabilities under the Workmen's Compensation Act, This act states that where a man dies of injury sustained while at work, his widow shall receive a pension of $40 per month. while for each child under the age of 16 years there is an additional sum of $10 per month, There is a stipula- tion, however, that the total amount paid to the family shall not exceed two-thirds of the av- erage wages of the deceased. In adddition there are the burial ex- penses, the sum of $125 heing the maximum figure, and an initial payment of $100 to the widow ov- er and above her pension, H. Bentley, chief investigator of the Mothers' Allowance Com- mission, stated yesterday that in the event of any of the widows of the men who lost their lives in the Hollinger fire not being tak- en care of under the Workmen's Compensation Act their cases would be dealt with by the Moth- ers' Allowance Commission, According to Hobart Gaston, of 87 Ashland Avenue, Toronto. who was incapacitated as a result of a mine cave-in in 1924, the henefic- laries of the {ill-fated miners in the Hollinger disaster will re- celve an adequate insurance allow- ance.

All of the bodies having now been recovered, the stage is set for the preliminary enquiry into what has been the greatest mining disaster ever experienced in Northern On- tario, Whether in view of the larger gov- ernmental investigation now in pros- pect, the probe tomorrow will endea- vor to assess responsibility or con- fine itself to determining the causes of death remains to be seen. The air was cleared considerably today by the frank statement of Arthur Brig- ine, who declared that the stope where the fire had its start was cluttered with paper and saw- dust. He also declared that this was in violation of the law, but made ijt clear that such a condition was en- tirely outside the knowledge of mine. 0 cial, requent inspection of the mine took place and all means were taken to ensure observance of the mining law, To examine the contents of a stope, however, was next to impos- sible. The small entrance which con- cealed the cavernous depths of the place, its blackness in the under- ground tunnel and its jumble of rock, muck and general debris all contributed towards making exact ex- amination of its contents out of the question. The special Bureau of Mines car of the United States Government, is Expected ld are Timmins on Wed- nesday, but this is contingent upon whether the mine is cleared of smoke and gas. High praise is given for the work accomplished by the crew of this organization, who made fre- quent descents and whose activities made the recovery of bodies possible.
