R OF SIX HOUR DAY Minister 'stands up the Claims It Will Provide Only Remedy For Un- employment Brockville, Ont., Sept 26.-- Speaking here last night at an in- ter-city Rotary gathering Senator A. C. Hardy, who is identified with the directorates of various import- ant Canadian industrial and finan- cial corporations, expressed the op- inion that the general institution of a six hour working day was the only permanent remedy for the un- employment now so widespread. Although admitting anything but socialistic views, he said, that he was convinced of the wisdom of hearing the representation of lead- ers in labor movements in support of a shorter working day. "I believe", he said, "that if we can stand behind certain respon- sible Labor leaders and work for a shorter day the sooner we can cope with the unemployment ques- tion." Industry, he contended should not stop with an eight hour day or even with'a seven hour day. "The sooner we make up our minds to institute six hours a day of work, the better it will be for the world," Benator Hardy expressed the opin- jon that those who can should help others to attain a living in a fair way, although labo¥, perhaps would have to be content with slightly lower wages for the shorter work- ing day. : FOR WARKING MEN Out of Office If Resigna-| | | Norman Hipel Unanimously aba | It | | | | | | Least | | { Canadian ling | STARTLING STATEMENT IN LIBERAL LEADER MAKES ADDRESS INS.

Hon.

"I am disappointed," replied Mr. Scullin, "to note the prominence given to such utterances in the newspapers of Britain. Those statements represent merely a few people who do not stand for any section of Australian opinion. "If it were to be suggested in { Australia," continued Mr. Scullin, | "that Britain might not live up to her reputation of paying what she borrows, the persons who spread such tales would be denounced.
