The following were present as representatives of the vari- ous bodies and interests asked to co- operate:-â€"Mr. Brigham. of the Hollin- ger, Mr. Laux of the Dome, Messrs J. Shewan and Geo. N. Deckert. of the McIntyre. for the mines; Councillor Muskett. for the township of Tisdale; Messrs L. S. Newton, P. O'Neill, L. Ducsharm, N. McKinnon and H. Charlebois, for the Miners' Union; Ma- yer McInnis and Councillors A. Bra- zeau and E. L. Longmore, for the town council; Messrs R. J. Jemmett, J. W. Reed. D. Ostrosser, T. F. King and J. A. Devaney, for the board of trade; Messrs Geo. A. Smith. P. Dougall, I. T. Macgregor and P. A. Macaulay, for the Great War Veterans Association. Tim- mins branch. Geo. A. Smith was elect- ed chairman of the conference. and H. W. Hooker secretary. The resolution passed by the GW...VA, was reproduc- ed in Ten years in Timmins recently, was read to explain the purpose of the conference. This resolution referred to the prevailing industrial unrest, giv- 'ng the chief cause of the discontent of the people as the high cost of living, and inviting labour, the merchants, the mine owners and others to co-operate with the G.W.V.A. in seeking to solve the problem. In opening the meeting Chairman Smith saidzâ€"“The time has come for action, direct and prompt. Delay, and yet more delay. has been during the mayor’s visit to the Bay. The prince is to make a tour of Canada and on his way to the West will visit ’I‘immins and the Porcupine. It is ex- pected now that he will be here some time during the month of August. and it is intended to give the royal visitor a royal good time when in Timmins.” “Dr. McInnls. mayor of Timmins re- ceived word this week of the ex- pected visit to Timmins and the Porcupine camp of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The exact date has not yet been set but will likely be known by the end of the week. Dr. McInnis is going to North Bay this week in connection with the expected royal visit and definite ar- rangements will likely be completed In The Advance of July 9th. 1919. reference was made to the expected visit to Timmms of the Prince of Wales. The Advance said. in part:â€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TLMMIN-S, ONTARIO in which he knocked Williard down seven times. He was called back and the fightâ€"i! such it could be calledâ€" continued for two more rounds, the re- feree in the 3rd round giving the decision to Dempsay, Williard being completely out of the fight. The attendance at the fight was about half what was ex- pected and speculators lost heavily on the sale of tickets. There was com- paratively little betting on the fight.” Heavy rains in July, 1919. checked the serious menace to the North Land from spreading bush fires. There was considerable property damage. but no loss of life from the bush tires that year. Among the people in this dis- trict who lost rather heavily through timber and buildings destroyed by fire News of the championship fight be- tween Jess'Wlllard and Jack Dempsay ten years ago was received here by special wire direct from the ringside at Toledo. through the enterprise of the local office of Hamilton B. Wills. The brokerage office was crowded and in- terest was very high. The fight was a- big disappointment. however. Williard putting up no battle at all to hold his belt. “The battle was perhaps the speediest anal most one-sided that ever decided a big puglllstic event," said The Advance at the tlrne. “To all in- tents and purposes big Jess Willard was whipped bi; Jack Dempsey in the first round. Indeed. Dempsey thought he had been given the decision and was leaving the ring after thednrst round. People would not buy boot-s out of style. He also showed that the cost. of leather had greatly advanced. and this with the advance of all other costs explained the increase in boot prices. L. S. New- ton showed how the purchasing power of the dollar had decreased in the pre- vious few years. A motion by Mr. Dougall that the Government be asked to place an embargo on foodstuffs did not carry. A committee on transporta- tion, another to enquire into the price of foodstuffs. and a third committee to act as a central committee were ap- pointed by the meeting. The central committee was made up of four mem- bers. one each to represent the mines. the G.W.V.A., the board of trade, and labour. respectively. This committee was to receive the reports of the other committees and report same at the next meeting of the conference. The central committee includedzâ€"J. W. Reed, for board of trade; L. 8. Newton. for labour; A. F. Brigham. mines; Geo. A. Smith. G.W.V.A. The transporta- tion committee was:â€"â€"Dr. McInnis. W. DeFeu, P. O'Neil. J. T. Macgregor. Geo. N. Deckert. The committee to enquire into the costs of foodstuffszâ€"J. A. Deâ€" vaney, E. L. Longmore. N. McKinnon. P. A. Macauley, Mr. Laux. In the district football series ten years ago this week the McIntyre added an- other to their list of wins. defeating 'I‘immins by the close score of 1 to 0 in a keen match at Schumacher. Mc- Intyre was shy its star player, Northey. Tlmmins was also in hard luck not, be- ing able to play J. Staples. Oscar Ro- bertson refereed the game. “Slim" Hallowell in goal delighted the crowd by his spectacular saves for 'I‘lmmins. [it to be clearly understood that we .serve no party. no “interests.” and no combines. but we do wish to serve Can- ada to our utmost.“ J. A. Devaney pointed out that the conference should ‘seek to learn if there were overcharge lby local merchants. He quoted prices there and at Iroquois Falls to indicate ,‘how comparisons might be made. Dr. s McInnis said he had an open mind on 'the question of profits by local mer- l chants. It was up to the conference to I gather data to show whether local pro- Iiits were exorbitant and to seek re. imedies for the high cost of living. i Councillor Muskett showed .the success iof co-operative stores in Great Britain ,and suggested use of the idea here. Mr. P. Dougall showed that the com- fmercial traveller gave a very useful )service in the economy of trade and ireally assisted in keeping costs down. Without the travellers. the merchants individually would have to travel to the various larger centres to do their pur- chasing. so the total expenditure would be much greater than at present. Mr. Laux thought a “grievance committee" to whom complaints about prices and quality might be made would be of‘ much help. He also referred to the* fact that the Dome Mines store had recently made voluntary reduction in prices. the Dome putting up for the losses so entailed. Geo. N. Deckert suggested that local merchants might. reduce costs by buying in larger quan- tities. thus reducing shipping charges. Mr. Brigham expressed his sympathy with the purpose of the meeting and offered full co-operation in the work of the conference. P. A. Macauley took up the increase in the cost of living in recent years. and also referred to the methods of taxation in Great Britain, the United States and Canada. respec- tively, with the idea of showing the economic effect of the three types of revenue raising. T. F. King referred to the very evident spirit of co-opera- tion shown by the representatives pres- ent and ventured the opinion that there could not help but be a success- ful outcome to the conference if this continued. N. McKinnon pointed out that the high cost of living was some- thing that bore especially heavily on the members of the Miners’ Union. They felt that the only help at present. would be an increase in wages. D. Os- trosser made reply to Mr. Devaney's comparison of prices for boots here and at the Falls. He thought the prices here compared very favourably with those at the Falls. Changes in styles added much to the costs of boots. almost the sole cause of unrest and discontent among the people. We be- ilieve a remedy dealing with such 9. vi- tal question as the price on foodstufls and the necessities of life will greatly relieve the present unrest. And the : Goldfields branch of the G.W.V.A. wish “Sergt. Robt. Callum. who went over- seas with the Pioneers. returned to the camp last week.
