In the as the clauâ€" ther> does t3 int>2rfere maxke i mining AC and was suggested, the names of officials thereof were mentioned, a To keep readers posted on the quesâ€" tion the following report is given of the meeting last week in Toronto. This particular report goses into more detail than any published by the daily newspapers. That is the reason it is used. It is from The Northern Mineér, which is actually opposing the proâ€" posed Engineers‘ Act. Altogether The Northern Miner is more concerned, perhaps, with promotion rather than actual prospecting, The Advance is sure its report will be fair and accurate in this case:â€" "Prospectors foregathered to the number of about 150 in Toronto on Tuesday, to form an association and to formally protest against the passage of the proposed Engineers Act. Orâ€" ganization was quickly perfected, the meeting was thrown on to discussion and resolutions were adpoted. The meeting was of a single mind, that the prcposed legislation was against the interests of prospectors and of the proposed legislation was against interests of prospectors and of mining industry in general. "The sections « the Act to which exception was taken were read and exâ€" plained to the interested gathering. The legal clauses, cutlining penalties for infraction, were discussed, together with other aspects of the situation. Stisakers included W. Fairburn, Alan Cockram, T. H. Rae, John E. Hammell, A. K. Roberts, Jack Munroe, S. Sainsâ€" bury and J¢ohn Reid. "Alan Cockeram explained that the effect of the act, if it were passed, would be to prohibit prospectors from doing any work other than location and staking; it would prevent the issuâ€" ing cof reports by syndicate heads or trustees; it would result in the emâ€" ~‘ovyment of members of the Profesâ€" the past have not only inrjured th: pmublic but also the mining industm generally and the prospector as well It is these evils that have added t the difficulty of the prespector being able to get money for the developmen‘ of his discoveries It may be notec that all the good prospectors wher they are trying to interest capital ir their claims quote mining engineers ir support of their own cpinions on th: should not be allowed to upset it. On the other hand if there are clauses in the ‘bill that will injure the prospcâ€" tor those clauses be pointed out instead of generalitlies being indulged in. As it is the general yjuublic has litâ€" tle real chance to form a correct opinâ€" ion on the proposed legislation. The Advance has been of the cpinâ€" icn from the start that the real opâ€" positicn to the propcosed .bill is due to objection to any "closed corporaâ€" tion" idea or to any "exclusive union." If this is the fact, then that fsature should be empihasized, instead of side issues being raised. ODpjection to i@ "closed corporation" for mining enâ€" gineers should be extended to such "exclusive unions‘" as the doctors, lawâ€" yers, veterinaries, dentists, druggists, teackers, preachers, and m score of other lines. One of the dGdifficulties seems to be that while every man sees the advantage to the public in his cown profession or trads or calling being exclusive or guarded, but he does nct see it always the same way in regard to other lines. It doss ssem fair howâ€" ever, that if the " closed corporation" idea is to be used against the Enginâ€" eers Act, it should be used Cpanly, though it would look odd for some of those opposing it to bring up this pairâ€" ticular a@argument. As noted in these columns .several times The Advance is strongly opposed to the proposed legislation if it is going to injure the prospector, but first it is surely necessary to show how the prosâ€" pector is to ‘be harmed. It is easy enough to sse how the promoter may 3e handicapped, but that is something different. ional . Enginsers‘ Association only.

With the excepâ€" tion of Ontario and Prince Edward Islana the other provinces of Canada had legislation of a more potent type and other provinces had suggested that if Ontario engineers were to carry on in their provinces there should be some reciprccation in legislation. His conâ€" clusion was that while he was in fayâ€" our of some protective legislation for Ontario, the proposed act, as at present outlined, was not acceptable to him. cf one kind and another now. He reâ€" marked that in conversation with Preâ€" mier Bennett not leng ago he had told him mining helred to pull the ccuntry out of the hole. As to the enginsers as a class the bulk of them were against the proposal; a few expected to be nursed. They should stand on their cwn feet and get cn with the job. Prospectors made joos for enginegers, he pointed out. "IJchn Keia, wellâ€"known engineet stated that he had been in favour of the act and had published an article in defence of it; since that time clauses had been changed or deleted which put a different complexion on it. He had been under the impression that all private reports should be outside the operation of the act but fqund that they did come, under it He stated that he did not think the act had been carefully drawn and that it cverlooked the fact that the relation of the enâ€" gineer to mining was very complicated.

He suggested A.CK. mrSberts, well known in legal mining circles, pointed out that there was already an act on the statute books ccvering the status cf mining enginâ€" eers, pascsed in 1927.

On Thursday last a group» of men, sumsosed to represcent the urnemployed throughout Canada but m reality only representing groups of aliens, many of whom were formerly members of the communist party but now travelling under cther names, arranged for an interview with Premier R.

They placed their "demands" before the premier who answered them briefly but without encouraging them in any way. | There were perhaps 200 in the group reaching Ottawa, according to the reâ€" ports from the capftal.
