The bomb is believed to have been planted by the racketeer branch of the thug underâ€" word, and the incidental injury to the church impresses the lesson that the work of the underworld affects good people entirely unconnected with the rackets and schemes. The infiuence o{ the underwormd soon extends itself to the inâ€" jury of all good citizens and the people in general in Canada will be very foolish and very shortâ€"sighted if they do not stamp out all gangs and their evil work before they are safely entrenched.

According to The G'uardian there are in Prince Edward Island many vacant farms which immigrants of the right sort and with sufficient capital could turn into profitable holdings. It may be argued that the wishes of the Mariâ€" times on this question are not the particular business of other provinces and that the east should be free to do as it pleases in the matter. Unfortunately this is not the true situation. The matter is very vitally a question for the whole Dominion. The vacant farm lands in the Maritime provinces can be matched with similar farm lands in Onâ€" tario and other provinces. There are enough men coming from the farms of the Maritime provinces and now resident in other provinces to take'up the vacant lands of the east, if they would. Ontario could also muster enough farmers and farmers‘ sons in its own and other provinces to provide tenants for the many vacant farm land properties in the province. The trouble is to get them back on the farm, and still great difficulity to keep them on the farm. It would be interesting to have accurate figures as to the number of immigrants who have come to Canada in the past twenty wishes the sar Accord Island holdir times other Che Yormmpine Ansnrr Thursday, Sept. 11th, 193Q OFFICE 26â€" ecent public spsech, Hon.

If a dollar a head could be secured for the difference it would be a profitable business for someone. The recent order by the new Minister of Immigration and Colonization | to discourage all immigration until the country finds out exactly the situation, and how to remedy it seems to be the policy of wisdom. It seems to The Advance that neither the Maritime provinces nor any other province should arrange for immigrants until it is sure that they will not simply add | to a burden already a grievous one. Some years ago it is stated that people of a certain nation in southern Europe were being brought into Canada as farmers and farm helpers| and many of them were naturally destined for Timimins] where so far as known not a single man of them perman-‘ ently joined the profession of farming. No doubt it was the : same in other districts. Certainly it is a fact that while! ostensibly the majority of the immigrants coming to Canada are supposed to take up farming, the actual condition of i affairs seems to ke that few of them do actually engage in; agricultural pursuits for any length of time. there would not be so dire a need for a "backâ€"toâ€" t,he fmm | movement. In the meantime, from practically all the proâ€" vinces of the Dominion men have been flocking to the proâ€" |vince of Ontario, for instance. If all the unemployed who have come from other provinces in the past few years were recturned to whence they came, this province would not know what unemployment means. There is enough extra work in progress in Ontario, including work on highways, on the bydroâ€"electric systems, old and new, and in connection with Government activities north of Cochrane, to provide work for all the normal unsmployed of this province. From the west and the east alike, people have flocked to Ontario in the last year or two attracted here to swell the roll of unâ€" employed by the very activities that would have guarded this province against unemployment. This is why the unâ€" employment question is bgsically a Dominion question.. No one province can solve it without adopting a large part of the burden from all other provinces. Immigration and unâ€" employment are as closely allied in the making of the proâ€" blem as are employment and the building of the Transâ€" Canada highway in the solving of it. No pressure should be brought to bear on the Dominion to allow further immigraâ€" ticn until effective measures are in sight to care for the population now in Canada. A python, eighteen feet long, has been reported lost, strayed or stolen from a side show at the Toronto exhibiticn. The snake is supposed to be still at large. Several Toronto people are alleged to have seen it. The Toronto Globe will no doubt qucte this as another proof ofâ€"the failure of the Liquor License Act. There must be something wrong when the pecople of Toronto can still see snakes. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO |cf interes} to ilabour enaclted during | the past year. f The executive expressed the opinâ€" ‘ ion the year just ended has been one of the most important ones from the point | of view of labour legislation over a long i pericd. The present unempgoyment lsituation, however, it points out, has | brougsht the necessity of providing perâ€" manent safeguards against this conâ€" diticn home to the general public more | clearly than ever before. i For this reason the Congress is askâ€" |\ ed to reiterate proposals it has submitâ€" ! ted to the Govern:inent during the past few years which include the establishâ€" ment of a national system Oof unemâ€" | ployment insurance based on contriâ€" | butions by the state, the employers ana | the emplloyees. Greater Security for All Workers is Urged Measures to provide greater security for Canadian workers through unemâ€" jmloyment insurance and regulation of immigration are urgently needed acâ€" cording to the annual report of the exeâ€" cutive of the Trades and Labour Conâ€" gress of Canada presented to the 46th annual convention of the Congress at Regina this week by President Tom Mcore. A good part of the report is devoted to reviewing legislative changes cf interes;, to labour enacted during The Government, it is suggested, should exercise control over tariff proâ€" tected industries to compel them to give a preference to Canadian labour and establish hours of work and rates of wages equal to those adopted by the Federal Government on Government works. â€" The transfer of the natural resources of the Prairie provinces from federal to provincial control has, in the opinâ€" ion of the executive, created an even greater need for the establishment of a Dominion advisory council on immiâ€" gration. This council would coâ€"ordinate the activities of the Federal and Provincial Governments and recommend immigraâ€" tion policies suitable to conditions as they exist from time to time. With representatiort for labour on the counâ€" cil it would prevent the admission of immigrants who had little pwrospect of finding employment except by displacâ€" ing Canadian labour. The executive is asking the Congress to go on record in favourâ€"of nationalizâ€" ation of all radio broadcasting faciliâ€" ties in Canada. Broadcasting by its nature, it says, must be a semiâ€"monoâ€" poly and should be publicly owned and democratically managed. Among the legislative enactments of last year to which the atention of the Congress is called is the fair wages and eight hour day bill passed by the Doâ€" minion Parliament. It affects all workers on GovernmEent contracis. An attempt on the part ocf the Comâ€" munists to hceld a meeting in celebraâ€" ticn of the 16th anniversary of interâ€" naticnal youth day was frustrated by Sudbury police Monday evening, when they arrested Carl Steinberg and Joe Belinsky on charges of unlawful asâ€" sembly and a third man who failed to move on when ordered, Frank Koski, was charged with disorderly conduct. SUDBURY POLICE DISPERSE COMMUXIST MEETING THERE LIBERAL MEMBERS STAGE EIST FIGHT IN COMMONS Scotty Wilson (the barber), who is the camp‘s noted fight promoter should zet in touch with Col. Fiset, MP., and P. F. Casgrain, M.P., and arrange for them to put on a bout here soon. In the following little article on a farâ€" inside page of The Ottawa Journal wil be found the reason or cause for this suggestion : â€"â€" FPisticuffs on the floor of the flouse of Commons chamber yesterday mornâ€" ing when the formalities in connsclion with the opening were in progress Creâ€" ated a considerable flutter of exciteâ€" ment amonzg members who witnessed and among several hundred{spiâ€"ctators seated in the public galleries. The combatants were Sir Eugene Fiset, a former deputy minister of miliâ€" tia, and now Liberal member of Parliaâ€" ment for Rimouski, Que., and P. F. Casgrain, Liberal member for Charleâ€" voix, Que., the official whip for the Liberal party in the House. The combat was brief but strenuous while it lasted, the distinguished soldâ€" ier leaving the Chamber with a someâ€" what damaged left eye. The incident occurred after the Genâ€" tleman Usher of the Black Rod had delivered his summons from the Deâ€" puty Governorâ€"General for the memâ€" bers of the Commons to attend at the Senats Chamber. At the end of the procession of memâ€" bers towards the Senate, and just inâ€" side the Commons Chamber was small group. Suddenly cries of: "Hore, here," caused all in the Chamber to lcok towards the door and the two members were seen to be striking at one another. A. A. Heaps, one of the Labor memâ€" bers for Winnipeg, sprang between ths two and the fight was stopoed. Several members gathered round and prevented further combat. Sir Eugene Fiset returniyz to his desk in the Chamber where he remained for a time wiping his eyves and later left. Sir Eugene did not return for the proâ€" ceedings in connection with the elecâ€" tion of a new Speeker on the return of the members from the Senate. The incident was animatedly discusâ€" sed afterwards and it was stated the altercation had arisen over a complaint regarding the accommodation in the House of Commons for Sir Eugene. The affair was characterized as 2 disgrace by some members. Others preferred the humorous view and laughed over it. Mr. Casgrain returned to his seat wi the other members. Speech From the Throne Remarkable for Brevity The special session of parliament opened at Ottawa on Monday of this week. Within six weeks of the election Premier Bennett thus fulfilled his proâ€" mise to call a special session of parliaâ€" ment to deal with unemvloyment and other pressing matters. The opening 5t the House was notable for several things. Onse of these was a fistic enâ€" counter between two Liberal members Hon. Mr. Casgrain and Col. Fiset. They are said to have quarreled cver some remarks regarding the seats and Hon. Mr. Casgrain "biffed" Col. Fiset. They wore separated before they could nave a real battle. Anther special feaâ€" ‘ure was a discussion between the preâ€" mier and the leader of the spposition in regard to facilitating the business of the session. The premier, in retly to question as to whether Carada would be represented at the Impsrial and Econcocmic Conferences in London this month, said it all depended on Hon. Mr. King, who asked the question. The premier said he was willing to stay at his post until the business was comâ€" pleted for the special session. Hon. Mr. King promied to do all practical to facilitate matters. ‘The third remarkable feature was the brevity of the speech from the Throne. â€" Brevity characterited the speech from the Throne, which was deâ€" livered by His Excellency the Goverâ€" norâ€"General in, opening Parliament. Exceptional economic conditions and unemployment were as the reasons for summoning Parliament. The speech makes specific menticn of only two measures which are to be presented to Parliament. There are to be amendments to the Customs Act and to the customs tariff, and the view is expressed that these ‘will do much to met the unusual conditions which now prevail." There are only three paragraphs in the splech, and four sentences. The speech reads: Honorable Members of the Senate: Members of the House of Commons: It affords me great satisfaction to be associated with you in the important duties upon which you are about to enâ€" ter at tfiis the first session of the seve teeth Parliament of Canada. The necessity for dealing with excepâ€" tional economic conditions with the resultant unemployment . has induced me to summon you at an earlier date than would otherwise be necessary. Measures will be submitted for your consideration, including amendments to the Customs Act and the Customs tariff which it is anticipated will do much to meet the unusual condition which now prevail. Honorable Members of the Senate: Members of the House of Commons: In inviting your careful consideration of the important matters which will engage your attention. I pray that Divine Providence may guide and bliess your deliberations. Last week Clarence Tifer, aged 27 years, escaped from Burwash and is still at large.
