Member Cenada The Advance was shown a cheque I1or UNnrCC Uuvildis week, this cheque being alleged to be payment in full for three days‘ work for a man employed at a local lumber mill. The man worked ten hours a day for three days for three dollars. He told The Advance that he could bring several cthers who had been similarly treated in the matter of pay. Men were told when they were taken on that their pay would be adjusted later. When the men were actually paid they found the sort of adjustment that had been made. Under the present economic conditions the paying of as low a rate as $1.00 per day for ten hours seems highly objectionable. it is difficult to discuss the matter coolly or reasonably, beâ€" cause there is so little reason in such a wage rate. . Recently The Advance has heard remarks to the effect that there would be less unemployment if some men would not hold out for high wages. Can men be fairly condemned for holdâ€" ing out for the proper rate of pay when firms in this age of the world will take advantage of a surplus of labour (or rather a scarcity of emplbyment) to offer no more than $1.00 a day for a man‘s work for a tenâ€"hourâ€"day? There is a minimum wage for women in Ontario. Unfortunately there is not one for men. There should be. At one dollar a day at the present time a man simply wears out his clothes and his strength; even a single man Ccan not keep himself at such a rate of pay. If it is a fact, as it seems to be, that 2a firm is hiring men at one dollar a day, the Ontario Govâ€" ernment should take action. Anparently the Dominion Government Labour Dept., is too busy with other matters. If proper pay and conditions for labouring men can not be secured in any cther way in such industries as the lumber industry the Government certainly can insert clauses in the contracts for timber limits that will prevent the disgrace of unfortunate men being compelled by misfortune to work In a police court case at Haileybury last week a man deâ€" scribed himself as a "stomach broker." Later it was learned that he was a cook. It is to be hoped that this "broker" did not allow his clients to go "short." even a day or two for the rate of one dollar per day, "and starve themselves." Jim Curran of The Sault Ste. Marie Star made himself famous by his wolf stories. Then he made Algoma famous by the fact that the author of the wolf yarns was an Algoma man, Jim Curran. A week or two ago he added further fame to Algoma and to the name of Jim Curran Timmins, Ont., Thursday, July 3rd, 1930 CRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER SETTLERS IN MUGH NEED OF GREATER ASSISTANGE Conditions Very Bad for the Majority of the SMtlcrs in This North Land. settler; ‘gt Brower Thinks Poliâ€" {ical Action Needed., The Advance received the following letter last week but too late for pubâ€" lication in the last issue.

When we organized at Brower back in the winter Tha Northâ€" ern Tribune, of Kapuskasing, strongly advised us to keep politics out of the organization as that has been the downfall of the farmers before. PFor my part I think the party system of government has cutlived its usefulness years ago.â€" It belongs to the dark ages and should be secrapped for a more inâ€" telligent form of government. What about a coâ€"cpsrative government so that the whole of the pecsple may be represented instead of a few as at present. As long as Judas carries the bag he will dictate what trail they have to follow. I am pleased to say our orâ€" ganization at Brower is still alive. I have made several inquiries in other Brower, June 13th, 1930 by admitting that the Algoma wolf was really a work of the imagination of Jim Curran, and created simply to advertise Algoma and the said Jim Curran. Then along comes The Northern Miner and calls him "Joe" Curran! â€" Such is fame! Life is but dust and ashes, vanity and vexation of spirit. The Ontario Government is offering $100.00 for informaâ€" tion leading to the conviction of any person responsible for the commencement of any bush fire in the North Land. This is a good idea, but the reason advanced for the offering of such a reward at this time is not so good. It is said that this year settlers actually have been so hardâ€"pressed that they have been setting fire to the bush with the purpose of being employed as assistants in the work of fighting the fcrest fires thus created. It seems scarcely possible that this should be the case, but if it is then the condition of the settlers must be desperate indeed. Instead of either using the settlers to fight forest fires, cr prosecuting them for startâ€" ing forest fires, it would seem to be in the interests of the country and of all concerned to relieve the settlers of the desperation that drives men to such terrible remedies as incendiarism. It is a fact that the settlers all through the North are in a bad way. They need assistance. They have petitioned for help in the way of roads and through the plan of a bonus system such as has proved so successful in Quebec. If the settlers had the necessary roads and if they had the required assistance in the way of a bonus for clearing land they would soon be contented and prosperous enough to be beycnd the accusation of anything so frightful as originating forest fires. ERisewhere in this issue will be found a letter from settler at Brower, near Cochrane. The Advance does not agree with the suggestion of this settler that the settlers would do well to form a farmers‘ political party. The experience of the past in Ontario and cther provinces in this respect can scarcely be said to be encouraging. The present party system seems to be as imperfect as human nature generally, but what better plan offers? The settler in question, Mr. Gcoode contrasts the present imperfect system with an ideal system working along lines of perfection. That is scarcely a fair comparison. It would appear that for a time at least the settlers, like all other classes, will have to make the best of the very imperfect system in vogue. If the settlers are organized, however, they can bring such pressure to bear on both the political parties that conditions are sure to be much improved. In regard to the great need for improveâ€" ment in the condition of the settlers, The Advance agrees very heartily and sincerely with Mr. Goode. The picture he draws of the settler handicapped by lack of roads, hampered by debt, harassed by climatic conditions, and hurt by all sorts of other difficulties, is restrained in its suggestions in view of the facts of the case. The lot of the average settler in this North Land is most undeserved and undesirable, and everything pdssible should be done by all to see that the settler is given a fair chance. There will be general satisâ€" faction that the settlers now have taken their case to the premier, Hon. G. Howard Ferguson. The premier has the vision to see the need and the necessity for a remedy for the untoward conditions. He had the heart to appreciate the desirability for relieving the settler of some of his burâ€" dens. He has the courage to face conditions as they are and to enforce new regulations that will give the settler a fair chance in the hard battle he has undertaken in this North Land. The petitions that were signed and all sent in to Toronto ‘some time have had no reply as yet. At our last meetâ€" ing the secretary was asked to write the prime minister to try and find out something about it. We mest the last Saturday of each month. Perhaps, the Ontario Government is going to do the same as the Quebec Government didâ€"ignore the pleas C the settlers until 20,000 left the counâ€" try, and then offer to pay their fares back again if they could get them. It would be a more sane policy to help the rcople that are here now rather than to import more here and give them readyâ€"made homes, stock and implements, and loan them money beâ€" sides at long terms, give them good roads and schools, and if their stock dies replace them at part of cost. Yet they hesitate to help the settler that is already here and has given the best part of his life to try and make a go of it. For years he has lived on hopes and disappointments one after the parts of the Claybelt if they were orâ€" ganized and asking them would they please write our secretary at Brower and we would all try and work along the same lines for the benefit of all concerned, and try to better the lot of the ply. I can assure you that the conditions under which the majority of settlers are suffering are bad indeed. The majority of the settlers are so steeped in debt to the storekeeper that he owns them body and soul, and the outlook dses not seem very bright. settlers, but so far have had no reâ€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO DOORS OPEN AYT 7.30 p.m. m at St. Mary‘s Hospital, Timmins, for Underâ€"priviledged Children (SEE NEWS ITEMS FOR FULL PARTICULARS) ADMISS FURTHER QUESTIONS THAT INTEREST FOOTBALL FANS Official Decisions and Other Informaâ€" lion in Regard to the Rules Govâ€" erning the Playing of Football. Last week The Advance gave the first of a series of questions and answers covering many points in regard to footâ€" ball. Here is another instalment of the 26.â€"Name the offence for which a free kick, from which a goal can be scored direct, can be awarded? Answerâ€"Offences for which this free kick is awarded:â€"Against a goalâ€"keeper who handles the ball outside the penalâ€" ty area (except at a throwâ€"in). Against a player who charges an opponent violently or dangerously. Against a player who jumps at an C,.!jonent. Against a player who strikes an Opâ€" ponent. Against a player who handles the ball with hands or arms (goalâ€" keeper excepted). Against a player who holds an opponent. Against a player who pushes an orionsnt. Against a player who strikes an opâ€" ponent. Against a player who trips an opponent. Against a player who throws an opponent by stooping in front of or behind him. Charging an opponent from behind when he is not obstructâ€" ing intentionally.Opponents should reâ€" member that they must noitstand within 10 yards ocf the ball. To do so is the cause of constant annoyance and is not playing the game fairly. 27â€"Can a player be offâ€"side at a free kick? Answerâ€"When a goal kick is taken no player can be offside. Players can be offside at all free kicks under the heading except corner kicks. 28â€"What would be the award if the ball struck the referee and went over the touch line? Answerâ€"Should the ball strike the referee during the course of a game and go into goal or out of play, the award would be given against the player who played the ball last, just as if it had nct touched the referee.

Smith, which he failed to carry out before his death occurred, was to write a correct story of the discovery of the Hollinger Mine at Timâ€" mins. There had been so many differâ€" ent versions published at various time: that Mr. Smith had determined recentâ€" ly that, from his very retentive memâ€" ory and from actual records of the disâ€" covery which are available, he would set Gown the true story of how the first gold was found on the claims which ltater became the big gold mine of the North. Only a couple :of weeks before his death Mr. Smith was talking over the matter with Mr. N. J. McAulay, his successor as mining recorder here, and the latter, while on a visit to Toronto secured some additional data from the records there which was to be used Mr. Smith‘s death intervened and perâ€" haps now there will never be known the exact facts in conjunction with the start of the Hollinger, as it is doubtful if there is another man so well conâ€" versant with the cireumstances." other until it seems that the cards are stacked against him. Some have gone and left the struggle. Others would go but their boots are bad, and when I say that I mean that they suffer from poeverty in its worst form. Last week a neighbour cf mine made an application for a small loan from the Government to buy a few head of stock. He has been in the country nine years. The answer he got was that they could not grant the loan beâ€" cause the Abitibi Power Paper Co. had been granted the fiood rights on his farm. There was a case where tht settler was never considered at all No compensation at all for nine years work done. We took the matter up a our last meeting and we found thai the settler‘s lot does not touch the river at all. It is another case where part] government has failed to give equa rights to all and spetial privileges tC none. H. GOODE. Acton Free Press:â€"The question ofâ€" ten arises as to when a man is intoxiâ€" cated, and in court cases often proves a stumbling block for witnesses. In police court at Teeswater, recently, Magistrate Walker gave out a decision on this debatable point, as related to intoxication while in charge of a motor car: "If, to any extent, however slight his (the operator‘s) judgment is imâ€" paired or his ability to drive the car is lessened, then he is intoxicated in the sense intended by the statute." It would appear that the only safe way would be not to touch liquor in any shape or form if about to be in charge of a motor car. i YL;.’\’- .' t ; ' mMITED _ (" “ N ; ‘_"r/- $ TTX i "WHERE â€" J l ees A U % Cakes PERSONAL SERVICE recommended by Leadin Skin Specialists MATCHEs Faiull Cou PRUNE@ Lazrge, Ch QQW?
