[INIARIIJ’S 80H] HUIPUI REBBRD UNE HIR NUVEMBER According to the increased produc- tion of gold and the decline in ore treated, it is clearly shown that ore values that passed through the mills this year were generally higher than those of the previous year. despite the fact that large tonnages of develop- ment ore were treated by Ontario mines in recent months. Gold production in Ontario valued at $3,063,865 for the month of November created a high monthly record for the year, and exceeded October's output by $22,433. The gain in production was largely a result of increased output in the Porcupine camp, which totalled $1,- 517,137 for the month. ' â€"â€"-'â€"v- Dome Mines was added to the list of producers during November, and was responsible for a good portion of the “in- creased output. For the month under review. production exceeded that of November. 1929, by $50,504. Ore milled last month at 380,586 tons showed a gain of 75.105 tons over the total of 305,481 tons reported for the corres- ponding month of last year. For the 11 months ending with No- vember gold production totalled $32.- 318,621, as compared with $30,341,894 for the corresponding 11 months of 1929, according to figures compiled by the Ontario Department of Mines; Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"-Letters exchanged between Shaw and Ellen Terry indicate a sentimental warmth on the part of-the dramatist which is hardly in keeping with his vegetarian pmactices.

Now the On- tario grower would probably get about $25 for same amount. The German producer always is just a little short. He never has quite enough for the mar- ket. Hence the high price.

In Ontario you would probably out about 5,000 feet of timber off an acre. They leave as waste 20,000 feet to the acre. “Much of the land all the way up the lake of St. John line is burned off, and you can travel in British Columbia for hours through burned off lands. “To get an idea of how much wood is required in the world, the United States alone uses a pile of it, four feet long, four feet. wide, and 369,000 miles long!"

Barrie Examinerzâ€"Does a pig think? asks the Stayner Sun. Last week a firm of butchers in the town purchased a pig from the local stock yards and took it to their slaughter house.The fol- lowing morning the porker could not be found. It was learned the pig had been purchased from James Graham, living on the townline. A call was put in and the proposed bacon supply found among his old-time friends after travelling a distance of nearly two miles under fences and across fields to get- home. Thus. endeth the first chapter of a lively piece of pork. Whether he has brains or not he must be given credit for getting home. Born in Brantford._0nt., a son of Francis Henry Leonard, a warden of Brant County, Reuben Wells Leonard was educated at the Royal Military College, Kingston, from which he gra- duated as a silver medalist. He is sur- vived by his widow, who was Kate Row- lands, of Kingston, Ont. An ardent student of politics, Col. Leonard was enthusiastic to lend his moral and financial support to any movement which promised to improve a Government, or strengthen the bonds of Imperialism, of which he was a strong supporter. He was strong in his advocacy for closer union of compon- ent parts of the Empire. During the Great War he gave much of his time and money to patriotic movements and other work tending to promote Canada’s whole-hearted par- ticipation in the fray. While a civil engineer by profession Col. Leonard entered the financial world 25 years ago interesting himself particularly in Ontario mines. His ventures were successful. He was for many years president of Coniagas Mines, Limited, a silver mine. and one of the most profitable in the Cobalt are a. Col. Leonard first entered railway construction work with the CPR. and was staff officer of transport during the Northwest Rebellion in 1885. He was also engineer of the first electrical de- velopment at Niagara Falls and later of the enlargement of the Dominion Power and Transmission Company’s plant. Hundreds of people in this part of the North Land will learn with very sincere regret of the death at his home in St. Catharines on Wednesday mom- ing of last week of Lt.-Col. Reuben Wells Leonard. prominent Canadian engineer and philanthropist. He was 70 years of age at the time of his death. and had taken a prominent part in the development of the North Land through his mining interests and his belief in the future of this country as a mining centre. Col. Leonard's heme-factions were many and generous and while the cause of education in Ontario received par- ticuiar assistance his contributions to- wards Canadian and British causes were noteworthy. Included among these was the purchase and delivery to the British Government of Chatham House. London. Had Many Interests in the North and was Widely Known Here.

O. .0 000. O. .0 AAA- The regular correspondent of The North Bay Nugget at Cochrane last week took up the question in extended way and voiced the complaints made by the men. The Government can not afford to allow the matter to rest there. There should be an investigation and punishment for wrong-doing whether the evil is in spreading false reports or in carrying through improper practices. It is certain, however, that all the re- ports are not false, for at least one police court case recently at Cochrane shake-d how some men failed to receive adequate return for their labour. The Cochrane correspondent referred to last week had the following despatch date- l-ined Cochrane:â€"- “Rarely a week passes that provincial and town policemen do not receive com- plaints from men just returned from the bush or from construction contracts that they have not been paid the full amount of pay coming to them. All these complaints are fully investigated and in almost every instance, the police find the men have a just grievance. but unfortunately in very few cases have they a legal remedy. Experienced bushmen with a reputation for being industrious workers are refusing to take jobs on contracts under any circum- stances, preferring to remain idle to working hard for months for what amounts to no more than their board. Your correspondent has been told by some men that they are better off to stay around town working at odd jobs for their board and a few cents extra than to go into the bush. “One man recently returned from a job on which he had worked two months and received only $2.00 at the completion of the job. He had bought only a pair of rubbers, a Windbreaker and some tobacco, but had been chargâ€" ed so high for them and for his board that there was nothing left. Or. most. jobs the men are compelled to pur- chase any clothing they require from their employer, and are charged an ex- orbitant price for it. “On one construction job near .erc. now completed, the men were paid by cheque. The only place to cash their cheque was at the company store and the store-keeper discounted each cheque 50 cents for cashing it. Most. of the men were foreigners and did not know enough to complain. There are a number of complaints made throughout the district as to the usage given employees by some men and firms hiring help. It may be argu- ed that there are always such com- plaints and that they should not be taken too seriously. As a matter of fact, it. appears that at present all com- plaints from men working should be taken very seriously and investigated by the authorities. No firm should be allowed to make money improperly at the expense of labour in these present diflicult times, and particularly is this true in regard to the men employed on Government work or on contracts farmâ€" ed out from Government contracts. The bad example set by the Ontario Department of Northern Development in actually cutting wages to $2.40 per day has had its evil effect apparently on the contractors who, are making money from Government work. The Advance registered complaints several months ago in regard to the rate of pay given on the work done directly or indirectly under the auspices of the Ontario Government north of Coch- rane. There was an increase of pay given and for a time reports were fav- ourable. in recent times, however, the stories coming down from the area north of Cochrane and the reports giv- en by men returning to this area from that work all would suggest that things are not as they should be. It would appeart that a. thorough investigation should be conducted by the authorities and the results of the investigation made public. Someone should get a term in jail. If the stories are made out of whole cloth those responsible for these slanders should be sent where they belong. If they have basis of fact then the people responsible for the mean form of graft indicated should be given a term behind bars. The day has surely gone by when contractors or others can profit unduly by use of im- proper methods that mean serious hardship to men honestly employed. Some of the stories coming down from Coohrane are very disquieting, to say the least, and they should ‘be very thor- oughly investigated. .“The evil is aggravated by the system of sub-contracting, and in many cases the actual employer of the men is not to blame. The contract may be awarded originally at a fair price, but the con- tractor divides the job among sub-con- tractors, and in cases even the sub-con- tractors re-sub-contract. The result is that. after the contractor and the first sub-contractor. who do no actual work. have received their rake-of! there is nothing left. for the men. They must either work at starvation wages or not at all. Men Working on Contracts ln Coch- rane District. Alleged to be Wrong- fuliy Treated.

Last week a group of men were sent to Fraserdale. destined to the Canyon, by the government employment bureau in Timmins. The men had been request- ed by the contractors on the Abitibi Canyon development.

P. R. told the Engineering Institute at Toronto that in a five year test period only $237.05 has been lost by the company because of defallcations by employees, while dur- ing the period money to tthe amount of over a billion passed through their hands. That is a remarkable record and one which is certainly creditable to the men who conduct the business of the railway in so wide a field. “What is the use?" they ask. “We slave at the hardest work there is, only to be beat out of our wages at the end." The sense of injustice is growing, and one has only to listen to the conversa- tions where unemployed congregate to realize that it would not take much en- couragement to bring about violent ac- tion." ed. They had to pay their return fare back to Timmins. "A local employment agent, discus- ing the matter yesterday, declared that contractors were deliberately refusing work to married men, to whom they would have to pay enough to keep their family, and hiring single men. usually foreigners. There are more tmempioy- ed in Cochrane than in any other town in the North with the exception of Sud- bury. but instead of employing men from Cochrane. they are sending to Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Cobalt and other towns where the unemployment situation is not acute. Treatment such as men returning from the bush complain of, and which your correspondent is reliably informed is not exaggerated in any way, is creat- ing a dangerous sentiment in the hearts of the unemployed in the disâ€" trict. Men without a trace of “Red" sympathy, native Canadians, English and French, as well as British born and foreigners, have reached the stage where they simply refuse to accept jobs in the bush. m m. g gggggsggggggggggggg “Recently. two men, well and favour- ably known to the police as industrious workers, married men, but now in des- titute circumstances, from the police point of view deserving citizens. applied at the provincial police office for help. The police had been led to believe that any men in the district really deserving of work and actually destitute would be given employment at the Canyon, so these two men had their way paid to Fraserdale. Arrived there they were told that there was a misunderstanding. there was no work for them and they were not allowed into the camn. §Z (flfififitn‘tjaa MMCR‘C §§Workers’ 00- Operative of New Ontario Ltd. 3?
