CAMERON, Sample at Farrell‘s Drug Stores Hamilton AND General Manager and '-()-()-()-(0:0 4 §) 20 It is not even as though they were giving a fair day‘s work for the enormous wages they are getting. For instance, if a bricklayer lays over 800 bricks a day he gets fined by the union!â€"which regulation is a premium on inefficiency, and the same principle applies in other trades. To qwote another case in point. ;. As long as union soâ€"called "skilled" labor wages, and especially railway skilled labor wages are so high, the Western farmer can not be rescued from his present evil plight unless grain, cattle, hogs and farm products generally rise to an equal level. The labor umions are as a miatter of fact, holding up the whole country. 10 give a case in point: In 1922, a man was workâ€" ing for a Western farmer for $4 per day and board. He had only worked a few days when he wanted to quit. The farmer asked him what was wrong? He {e‘pl'ied, "Oh! nothing. but why should ‘I wark tor : Yyou What is the use of talking immigration and trying to get more people on the land while a bricklayer gets as much money for one day‘s work as a farmer can produce from a whole acre of land in a year, : and while a railway conductor can put away more money from one month‘s work than a farmer with $30,000 inâ€" vested can do in a vear?! The reason, however, is plain and the remedy al although there are considerable difficulties in the w of applying the latter. High labor wages is the reas and the remedy is a general reduction in wages. Cattle and horses far below cost of feeding, butter 20c per Ib., eggs 10c a dozen, the very best turkey, $1.00, and so on; and he confessed himself unable to underâ€" stand whyâ€"outside of grainâ€"the prices of these other things should be so fow. nor was he able to suggest any immediate remedv. These figures, I may mention, were not confined to grain alone but included butter, milk, poultry, cattle, horses, etc., practically everything the Western farmâ€" er has to sell and the prices they receive at the point of shipment are scandalously low, nor is there any reaâ€" son to doubt the accuracy of the figures quoted. Much of the earlier portion of his speech was deâ€" voted to the troubles of the Western farmers, anmd. he quoted figures to show that the Western farmers are receiving suchâ€"low prices for everything they have to sell, that they can not make a bare living, and are going behind each year to the tune of thousands of dollars. The writer quite recently attended z2 meeting, in Hamilton, under the auspices of the Canadian Club, at which the Hon. Mr. Martin, Minister of Agriculture in the Ontaro House, gave a very good address on the farmng situation as at present. wBle oBe oBe aBe oZe oSe ofe oBe oSe aBe aBe aBe aBe aBe aBe aBe se se e sZe uSe oze aBe aZe rBe o%e oBe ofe aBe nBa obe abe a%o ade ce sSecSe ofe country become a great nation guide indus Russians will remain not humian beasts, each ready t until Providence sends th Russia‘s soldiers have nothing to fight for, outside of a poor day‘s pay and a loaf of black bread.

In other Wbrd.s,‘ had there been no Hydro development we woulg now be using twice the steam coal that we are at present using, which in 1921 was 18,690,000 ton‘s. f If we were doing half so well t0o nrmawida amraalwsaas 1 my friends are keeping Though you may disb ing, know it to be true. and t G The plain truth is that labor ha running in a circle for the last 10 years.

It states that ing the year 1923 some.260,000 tons were imported, freight rate from Wales to Montreal being $1.75 long ton, as compared with $4.40 from the Péeunâ€" vania mines to Montreal. â€" So while the Welsh coal s somewhat higher in price at the mine, this was y offset by the better quality and the difference in ight rates The chairman of the Fuel Board has o been assured that the movement of British coal to r1ada will likely be perimanent and increase in ume as time goes on. .

But for lack of advantagâ€" ous distribution, our home market is somewhate supplied with various kinds of imported fruit and vegetables, some of fair quality, but mostly of inferior quality, the only thing said in favor of these imports is, that our fruit and vegetables are not of continuous seaâ€" son, but if Canadian producers had the whole Canadian market, its seasons of production could be very considerably extended, both earlier and later. Therefore, I think the time has arrivâ€" ed, for at least an experiment â€" of prohibitive exclusion of foreign fruits and vegetables, with price fixing authority reserved to the Government,i not that it would probably be of; much necessity in fruits, as our home HHGRANENHNERRRRNNCRRIIINNCEITE The Grimsby Independent, situated in the centre of Canada‘s largest fruit producing District, described the situaâ€" tion most accurately from personal observation. The consensus of opinion seems to be that Canada produces. a superâ€" abundance of the choicest fruits, of great variety, excellent quality, and more moderate price, than the importâ€" ed articles.
