we have the man who could not go overseas! Has he to starve? Some of the members of the local Legion served from 1899 to 1902, during the Boer War. From 1902 to 1914 they found that their services in the Boer War was not worth a tinker‘s curse, when it came to employment preferâ€" ente. Manry fought from 1914 to 1918 again for their King and Country, and again they found that their services to the nation were not worth the same tinker‘s curse whai it came to emâ€" "greased trails" in the past but the are few greased trails at present. T\ of the officers of the local branch the Legion had the word passed on them some weeks ago, that they wou have to watch themselves; one in pa ticular was warned that a trap w being set for him; but the same ty officers have still a weather eye ope and can read between the lines as were and can truthfully say that eve if the labour situation is very little be ter, it is certainly no worse than it w Having placed the two sides of t question we will now put forward third side and that is, there are mar good citizens in town who pay tax: and are out of work. Some have grownâ€"up family, also out of wor! Some have sons trying to get a bette education by working a few month in the summer time. Surely the mine have the right to place these peopl along with the rest. Some of thes citizens have worked years and for their employers and sursly th employer has the privilege to emplo whom he pleases and has the right t give these people a little preferenc when it comes to employment. The he has to hire his men according to the work he wants them for. Experâ€" ience counts; that is, experience in Canadian mining, as Old Country and Canmadian mining are entirely different. He never knows a day ahead what men he will want toâ€"morrow as men are coming and going at all times, He my require an allâ€"round miner, or a runner, or a timberman, and in the lineâ€"up for work that day there are no Englishâ€"speaking men or exâ€"soldiers in the lineâ€"up who can fill the qualifiâ€" cations. He has to take what is there that morning as he cannot let his mine go short for the sentimental side. His mine has to pay, and he has to "make the mare go." Then we have the ex-[ soldier or Englishâ€"speaking man who‘ gets a job and tires of his job and‘ quits. Some will not be told anything and think they can do as they please.| Some work only about half time and apparently think the employer is honâ€" oured to have them. So he is, if they will play the game. An exâ€"soldier knows discipline and should set an exâ€" ample to others instead of falling down on his work and then blaming the emâ€" ployer for getting rid of him. The employer‘s side is not all milk and honey. Having tackled this labour| situation in the past we know what it, is and just what can be done in the | matter. We know that there has been | Now we will take the employers‘ side of the question which is a very diffiâ€" cult position. During the last two years the employer has had to spend many, many thousands of dollars in protection for his employees and as fast as he does his mining he has to conform to the new regulations. Then he has to have all men examined and those who are not fit are turned down by the doctor as not suitable.

Let One who Served just stop We next hear of an exâ€"soldier beggâ€" l mg money for meals. In some cases we found that a good citizen had given this man food which he left in the bush. and kept on collecting money for meals. Next, we have the case of the exâ€" soldier who fooled the Kirkland Lake branch into giving him money to come to Timmins to get a job at a mine here, representing that he belonged to Tlmmins branch when he had neither the job at the mine, nor did he belong . to the Legion at all. | Next we had the exâ€"soldier who beâ€" \longed to this branch of the Legion before it was formed who refused the food ticket for $10.00 as he wanted cash. i The officers of this branch could fill ‘a book of their dealings with the exâ€" | soldier and those who represent themâ€" selves as exâ€"soldiers, and some of the oflicers know only too well that the employer‘s patience has been sorely tried with some exâ€"soldiers that they were good enough to employ, and then had to get rid of these men as they were useless to them. Of course, these are cases that we know about, and there are many cases that we do not know about, maybe worse than those we know of. But there is a bright side to the question. There are many exâ€"soldiers in the Porâ€" cupine who hold executive positions, who are a credit to their employer.

The good citizen‘s lady promised to give this man three good meals and $2.50 in cash. He refused the $2.50 as he had never worked unâ€" der $3.50 per day in his life. We have also in the past made loans to some comrades in distress who asked for a loan, but to get the return of the loan is quite a different matter. In one case we had to take proceedings and in two cases we had to threaten to take proceedings before we saw any sign of repayment of the loan. suspension notice. He also has been working steadily for the last six months. As a Dominion Day present he reâ€" ceived a suspension notice for he had not paid he dues to the Legion that was his salvation a year or more ago. Next, we have another comrade who joined the branch about nine months ago. His pension case was taken up By the Secretary-'l‘rea.surer es 4 )( In conclusion I might add that even if the postal rates have gone up those comrades who send in their dues will receive a receipt by return of post as usual. As this winter will likely be the worst yet we have had, everyone get out, boost the Week of Wenders, and all pull together to see our relief fund is boilstered up for the coming winter! Comrade Bob Stroud is working on two large signs or banners for the street advertising and these will likely be up by the time this letter appears in print. Dues are coming in fairly good, but there are well over 130 comrades yet who cannot produce the card of Branch 88, Canadian Legion, owing to dues being unpaid. The more paidâ€"up members we have the more backing we get at the conventions, so hurry up, shell out, and send in the dues owing. Next week I hope to be able to give a full outline of the Week of Wonders, CGoldfield Drug and Legion Swim, and other interesting news. We are holding an emergency generâ€" al meeting, Monday, July 27th, for the purpose of sending resolutions to the Provincial and Dominion Conventions from the largest branch north of Toâ€" ronto. We want a record meeting as besides resolutions in order, we want workers for the "Week of Wonders." So all who can show up to give a hand to get the rink ready for the big Week of Wonders. _ _Our relief committee are still very busy; in fact, the relief handed out lately is assuming large proportions. Just to show how this works:â€"a reâ€" turned soldier dropped around the other night, broke, hungry and without j | work or a place to sleep. In less than | a few moments he was given m ticket for meals and a place to sleep. He' had his discharge papers to show and' remarked that it was the first time his dischargg papers had done him a good turn. We have a good friend at one of the mines in this district who served under the White Ensign many years] ago and is now a mine captain. This: good friend has lately been able to find’ several exâ€"soldiers workâ€"a thing that we are proud of, as this is the Legion spirit, to help those who cannot help| themselves. We have a case of anâ€" other exâ€"soldier who had tramped around the district for the last three weeks looking for work, a married man with a large family. As a last resort he got in touch with our good friend of the White Ensign and is now in employment. So I think "One who Served" cannot say that all exâ€"soldiers are turned down and I feel quite conâ€" fident that our friend of the White Ensign will place the other comrade, before this letter appears in print. ’vassing for The Legionary and using ,the Legion to better their aims. So everyone beware of these men. The Legion has no canvassers at all. This 'bmnch has no canvassers, only at preâ€" sent several comrades are taking donaâ€" ]tion for the relief fund giving a ticket fin exchange for the fifty cent donaâ€" tions. This ticket entitles the holder to five admissions to the rink, a chance in the draw and must be produced ‘when accosting "Mr. Legion," the mystery man of Branch 88 who will !give @a $5.00 gold piece daily to the lucky person who first stops "Mr. Leâ€" gion." Our first comrade to sell out and turn in a book of donations was Comâ€" rade Jack Regan from the Dome, or rather his good lady, and by the amount of orders for tickets Jack and his good lady look like topping the bill in securing donations this year. sons best known to themselves. All member of Branch 88 of the Legion are supplied with a card and a card case showing their standing in the Legion, which they can produce at any time and those who have neither card or receipt to show have failed the Legion or never belonged to it, and we are again warned that there are men canâ€" Legion, or the exâ€"soldiers badge does not necessa@rily mean that the wearer is an exâ€"soldier or belongs to the Leâ€" gion. . There are a good many wearers of the badge of the Legion toâ€"day in the Porcupine who have no right to wear the badge of the Legion for reaâ€" we ask the employer not to consider all exâ€"soldiers in the same category as those who have failed them in the past, and to the gocd citizens who have so nobly supported the Legion this last few years we say that there is no need for an exâ€"soldier to go hungry in the Porcupine, as we have a relief comâ€" mittee on the job all the time who supâ€" ply meals for hungry exâ€"soldiers, and we have sleeping accommodation by the lake for the summer for the same exâ€"soldier and before giving meals (never give money) to a person who says he is an exâ€"soldier to make sure that it is an exâ€"soldier whom they are helping.

"That this enslavement is due to the fiveâ€"year plan is unquestionable," she concluded. "That the shaping and exeâ€" cution of the plan is being assisted by foreign experts, foreign credits and foreign purchases in further undenied. She reported that the forced labour had spread to collective farms, handling of grain and timber and other indusâ€" tries.
