Hollinger Employees‘ Medical Services Plan Vol. XXIIL No. 40 As noted in The Advance some lime ago, the Holilinger Mine in seeking to assure the and benefit of emâ€" ployees approached the matter of mediâ€" cal and hospital service for the men and their families from a new angle. Instead of the Hollinger submitting al~ ternative plans such as are carried on elsewhere, the mine suggested that a committee of the employees meet the doctors of the district and with the needs and conditions in mind see what form of plan could be worked out that would provide complete medical and surgical service for the men and their families and dependants on the most economical basis. An employees‘ comâ€" mittee was formed and this committee conferred with the Porcupine Medical Association with very satisfactory reâ€" sults. Two plans were formulatedâ€"the first one giving very complete medical and surgical service for the men and their families, and the other at a dower rate providing a good service but not so complete as the first plan. Theéese two plans were submitted to the vote 0o‘ the employees, The employees were quick to see the benefits of the first plan and gave it very strong endorsaâ€" tion. Even those who favoured the more restricted plan were willing to accep{ "Pian No. 1" if it were the choice of B Mn Details of Plan Recently Adopted by Hollinger Employees| and Doctors of District.

"No Indications of Unhealthy Credit Conditions." From London, England, this week comes very encouraging reference to the gold situation. The attitude of the British government should do much to offset the pessimistic talk of some in regard to the possibility of a reduction in the standard price of gold. In the House of Commons this week the government made the announceâ€" ment that there was "no indication of any unhealthy credit conditions at preâ€" sent," when questions were asked folâ€" lowing the action of London bullion dealers in advancing the price of gold in an effort to stem the flow of the precious metal to the United States. Price of bar gold was fixed at 140s 8‘;@ ($34.72) a fine cunce, an advance of fivepence (9.8 cents) to the ounce, The new price cut the profit which exâ€" porters of bullion stood to make by shipments to the United States. Lieut.â€"Colonel D. J. Colville, finanâ€" ial secretary to the treasury, said Great Britain had no intention of departing from the tripartite gold agreement reached by Great Britain, the United States and France. yellow metal from around 7d (14 cents), the margin prevailing on Saturday, to about 2‘44@ (five cents) the ounte. Discourages Selling The narrowing of the margin between the Londcn price and the governmentâ€" fixed price of $35 an ounce in New York made shipment less profitable and tended to discourage selling on the London market. London sales Monday were 262 bars, valued at about £272,000 ($3,636,000), as compared with 465 bars valued at about £1,296.800 ($6.484,000) Saturday. Bullion dealers explained it Costs about 11‘ pence (23 cents) an ounce to ship gold to New York for sale at the $35 price so shippers must buy al less than $34.77 an ounce in order to make a profit.

The background of the great outflow oft gold, hoarded at Londcn, England, by 2continental interests, is this: Wealthy capitalists, big French, Swiss and Netherlands companies among them, thought they saw in gold a safe refuge for their funds. They stored it in London vaults. Bankers estimate they still have perhaps £150,000,000 ($750,000.000) of it there. The high price of the metalâ€"after abandcnment of the gold standard by country after country and devaluation of currencyâ€"brought into operation mines that previously did not pay. Soâ€" viet Russia, with greatly increased proâ€" duction, sent £1,700,000 worth of gold to London in the first half of last week. Gold became a glut on the market. Hoarders, fearing a break in the price and eyeing the profit to be had by shipment abroad, threw their holdings on the market. Pianoforte Recital at South Porcupine Tuxis Win Their Second Game, Too.
