mag, V: ., . ._ :4 M::'.:.a de to wil- Do I understand the minister to say` that his mind is- clear upon the fact that those who represented the men? were at least indifferent as to the question of What position the men would occupy as regards pensions! That is what I understand the min- ister to have said: that those who` represented the employees of the rail- road companies on that. occasion ex- pressed themselves indierent as to whether the company should consider the pensfons were forfeited or not. I may day to` the minister--of conrse,l' with every deference to whst- he says. --that unless` he is absolutely clear that that was the understanding, `I_ would be . surprised to hear that such was the case. -The information Iphsve got so far, and` I am endeavor`-ing-to. get more explicit information, is that the men throughout: the country gen- erally, ` and ,'I understand, Ibo, those who represented _v ._them-r-thoroug_hly understood at that Hallie tlI,lt as-' . to theseggivho had -been 4-guilty-.; gt, acts -"of violence such` the r%se!9m6ntsn lite 811 -.exi!$in8"`diD!It0-,. T. - i `I v`that`..the'p..;men~* ; f ` Mr. KING. `As regards. pensions,` when the matter was under considera-[ tion, the leaders of the men who were negotiating .,on behalf of the em- lployees took the position that they did not care about pensions one way orthe other, that if the company car- ed to regard them as having violated its agreement with them to the ex~ -tent of breaking any regulation which governed pensions the company was perfectly free to put that interpreta- ` tion upon it. 1 I was rather surprised ` myself at them taking that stand, but . they didtake it and they gave me to ; understand that in so far as pensions _were concerned, if they had forfeited ' the pension by going out, and if the ` company cared to put that interpreta- ' tion upon`it they were free to do so. :1 not take that into consideration? I certainly would think that it would be the object of the minister to see that the agreement is in such a. form ,as that the men, when they were tak- en back, would get the same posi- tions that they would have accupied if no strike had taken place. Other- wise, it would be an" idle sham, and it would be deceiving the men as to. what was actually taking place.. Ifi it merely meant that a man who had! been in the service of the company` for twenty years or more and who! would be entitled to a pension was to I be taken back as a newsman, and not; be entitled to his pension it would certainly be a- -most unfortunate re- sult. v I _-----_-3 Plan Open to Subscribers 2 Days in Advance of Regular Seat Sale V - \ Subscription List Now at Robertso`n's,Drug Store.

This is not a matter that "will be dealt with by in the investigation which he is holding. It i a matter as to the status the men will occupy who have `been taken back or who will will be taken back. I would like to ask the minister, whether, by the settlement of` the 31st July be- tween the Grand` Trunk railway and ' its employees in thestrain and _yard ` service, (1) it was intended and un- . derstood that the parties were putting an end to all` existing ' disputes and diiculties; (2) that the men should ` he put back into the positions they ' held previous, to the strike; and (3).

The Minister of Justice con- ;_ tended. the -other day that although .- there is international law, in name at all events, that international law is L an` indeterminate thing and that no body can tell what it is; Mr. Len- nox stated that there was a large body of international law available arising out of similar cases in Europe and elsewhere. He combatted the posi- tion taken by Sir Alen Aylesworth 'that*the only right Canada could set up i_n reference to- damming. the St. Lawrence was that the Americans could notjraise the water to a higher level than it naturally attained, and cited portions of the Minister s speech, showing that Sir Alen ignored the.Ashburton treaty and the it gave to free and open gation on every part of the St. Law- rence River to Canada as fully as to` `the United States and vice cersa. Mr. Lennox also quoted the members for Cornwall (Mr. Smith) as_ deploring that the Minister of Justice had en- unciated views detrimental to the in- terests of Canada. .
