» » THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY. 14, 1929 PAGE NINE PENSION BILLS FOR GAR, EMPLOYEES HAVEFIRST READING Legislation Brought Dowa By Hon, Chas, Dunning May Affect 100,000 De Ottawa, Feb, 14, -- Rallwaymen and artistaps generally will be in- terested in the legislation brought down by Hon, Charles Dunning, Minister of Railways, providing for ngions for Canadian National {lways employes, First reading was given yesterday in the Com- mons to two bills affecting some- thing like 100,000 employes of the National Railways, Generally speaking, the pen- sions scheme proposed if similar to those in effect on the Canadian Pacitic-and United States railways, the pensions amounting to 1 per cent, of the average pay for a 10- year period multiplied by the num- ber of years of service, The old Grand Trunk Railway had a pen- sion scheme uni the Government railways, like the Intercolonial, had a provident fund, more 'than 10,000 persons being eligible for ' benefits under these, but the Cana- dian' Northern Railway made no provision for pensions so that for- mer employes of that system, now merged with the Grand Trunk, the G,T.P, and the I.C,R. to form the Canadian National Hauways, are discriminated against as well as employes connected with the tele- graph, express and steamship com- anies, The idea of Mr, Dunning's ills is to place all employes on the same footing, It ig difficult to in- dicate what the pensions will amount to but broadly speaking, in the case of a locomotive engineer with forty years' service, it will be something like $100 a month, and will enable faithful employes of the National System to spend the set years of their lives in comfort, The cost of the pensions scheme will involve some millions of dol- lars and will be borne by the rai- waymen no deduction being made from the wages of the employes, "OGOPAGO" NOTHING BUT WATER LILY Peterhoro, Feb, 13.--The Trent river "Ogopogo'"' which won a front jase position in afternoon papers ursday will henceforth attract more atention from the botanist than from the student of rare mon- sters, The sea serpent described in the early stories as "having the flesh of an animal but also resembling & Pish in some respects" is. nothing more formidable than the foot of 8 flag lily, a speries of water plant common in the Trent, Somebody saw this root 30 feet long and five inches in thickness under the river ice and the sea serpent story immediately attained full life, resulting in a rush of visi- tors to the scene, Axes were" sécured and at the cost of much labor the 'monster' was uncovered, with the disappoint- ing result that the .investigations had only a long root as souvenir for their work, COMMITTEE KILLS WOMEN C.A. BILL Quebec, Feb. 14.--The bill to ad- mit women to the practice of char- tered accountancy in the Province of Quebec, was killed by the public bills committee of the legislative assembly. Tibs legislation, it was felt, would- have had the effect of enah- ling mccountants to employ women, under the certificate of the society of chartered accounts of the Pro- vince of Quebee incorporated in 1880 at salaries far below the re- cognized standard for this profes- sion. The measure was voted down unanimously by the committee. NEW MARTIN THEATRE Now Playing Featuring the Famous Horse, "Rex" "WIL BLOOD" OOMEDY--" THE FIXER" Another Episode "The Mystery Rider" Regular Admission NEWSPRINT OUTPUT IS FORGING AHEAD Toronto, Feb, 14 + Startling growth of the newsprint industry in Canada was revealed by Hon, Willlam Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, during his Leg- islature speech this week, Last year, he stated, Canada produced about 10,000 tons dally, to 6,000 in the United States, In 1923, value of the Dominion's pro- duction wag $188,000,000; in 1924 $187,000,000; in 1925, $202, 000,- 000; in 1 26, $224,000,000; in 1027, $231,000,000; and in 1928, approximately $236,000,000, In 1038 Canada produced 2,381, 000 tons of newsprint to the Unit. ed States' 1,415,000 tons, In 1913 Canada produced only 350,000 tons, to the United States' 1,305,~ 000, Canada trailed the States in production until 1926, although in 1025 she fell only 8,000 tons short of the States' production of 1,580,- 000 tons, In 1936 she produced 1,882,000 tons to the States' 1,- 686,000, and again in 1027, she in- creased her advantage by produc- ing 2,087,000 tons to the States' 1,485,000 tons, Ninety per cent, of Canada's pro- duction is exported, 82 per cent. of tle production as a matter of fact going to the Stuuw, NOEFFETIONTIL 1930, IS REPORT Declared That Ferguson Government Will Not Go to Country This Year Toronto, Feb, 14,--Lilleral Lead- er Sinclair to the contrary notwith- standing, there will not be a gener- al provincial election in 1929, The has been full of election rumours since this session of the Legislature opened, and many of the members were beginning to get worried, Talk of an early election had the psy- chological effect of making many people believe an election was in the 'offing, although their better judgment told them othcrwise, It can now be stated that there will be no general election in On- tario until June of next year, One of W, E, N, Sinclair's main points in his speech on the debate in the address in reply to the speech from the throne was that the Gov- ernment was preparing to make an appeal to the country before the end of this year, Pr, Ferguson, cha: racteristically, neither confirmed, nor denied this assertion, merely remarking that since Mr. Sinclair. knew, that was about all there was to it, And that was all the satisfac- tion the information-seeking Op- position r:ceived. Was Considered, It is generally known that Jast fall the possibility of an election in 1928 was seriously. considered. No Conservative Government has ever gone the ful] four-year term in On- tario, except once, as a war-time measure, However, tradition is this instance does not mean all that it usually does, The Ferguson Gov- ernment was elected in 1926 after it appealed to the country on the issue of the Liquor Control Act ver- sus the Ontario Temperance Act. It received an overwhelming mandate fronr the people, There Live been four by-elections in tho intervening period, and the Government has easily captured every seat. The party strength in the present House is: Conservatives, 76; Liberals 21; Progressives, 11; U. F, 0,, 3. The results of the by-elections, in the nature of tests, indicate that the Government has the confidence of the people. Premier Fergusvn has become one of the most popu- lar and best loved prime ministers Ontario has in its long and disting- uished history. His personal follow- ing is as large, if not larger, than which the late Sir James Whitney had. The province has prosperity in bountiful measure; the liguor gues- tion will not be an issue at the elec- tion next year, because the results of the act seem to have been gener- ally satisfactory, even to the Oppo- sition press. There was really. very little rea- pon or excuse for an election this year. The Government would haru- ly be in office three full years should an election be called this summer. Elections are expensive affairs to the public and there has been a surfeit of them in recent years. Ontario will find a generous share of political interest in the year 1930. There will be a provin- cial election and there will be a do- mipion general election. Premier King's remarks during his speech in the record short de- bate on the address in reply in the House of Commons cleared the air iderably in Ti to. The prime minister definitely announced that he would not call an election until 1930. Ontario was watching Ottawa closely in this respect.

A, E, Plant of Brantford, in his presidential report, declared that Ontario had produced almost one- third of the whole volume of dairy products in the dominion last year, while the Canada-wide output eom- pared favorably with the value of the three great grain crops--wheat oats, and barley, Many farms which have heen 'worn out" by over cultivation have heen restored to usefulness through dairying activities.
