In one of his addresses the Bartlieman candidate says that the issue in this election is not one of candidates or parties, but it is the matter of the treatment of workers in the mines who contract silicosis. Were this the truth it would still resolve itself into the fact that the real issue in this riding is between men, rather than policies or parties. The Bartleman candidate for some years past has attempted to make the sad case of some silicosi® sufferers a political football for his own purposes. The peculiar situation has made it possible for him to present a plausible case by the suppression of facts and the undue stressing of other features. Silicosis, being recognized as an occupational disâ€" ease, comes under the Workmen‘s Compensation Act. Tuberculosis is not accepted as an occupationâ€" al disease and so does not warrant compensation under the Ontario Act, As a matter of fact, howâ€" ever, the victim of tuberculosis seems to contract silicosis much more readily than the ordinary miner, and in the same way the man with silicosis is very likely to haveâ€"tuberculosis as well. The problem for the doctors and the Workmen‘s Comâ€" pensation Board has been to discover whether the sick man‘s condition is due to his occupation or to unfortunate disease not recognized as warranting compensation under the Workmen‘s Compensation Board. So far as the mines and the local doctors are concerned the practice in past years seemed tc be to give the benefit of any possible doubt to the worker.. This was the case under the party administration of the Workmen‘s Compenâ€" sation Act., Yet the Bartleman candidate viciousâ€" ly attacked the mines, the doctors, the Conservaâ€" tive government, four years ago in his quest for votes. When the government changed he con tinued his reckless charges and suggestions that there was discrimination and injustice, with the result that there was an investigation and review of cases by the Workmen‘s Compensation Board and men who had been receiving compensation a: silicosis cases had the amount reduced or cut of altogether on the plea that they were really tuberâ€" culosis cases and so did not come under the Act Since then, the line of demarcation between siliâ€"< cosis and tuberculosis has been so closely drawn a:s to work apparent hardship on some individua cases. This has been the result of the Bartlemar candidate‘s attitude in regard to silicosis so far It is fair to expect that his tempermanent and disâ€" position would bring nothing but injury to th« worker were he in position to interfere further in the matter. It is not too much to say that sufferer: . from silicosis and tuberculosis would be in muct better position had the Bartleman candidate neve; attempted to help them in his own peculiar way. In the past The Advance has criticized the Workâ€" men‘s Compensation Board in certain cases. Thi criticism has not been confined to any one govâ€" ernment. At the same time it is only fair to asâ€" sume that each Compensation Board has been doâ€" ing its best to be fair to all concerned. It may be the fact that certain changes are needed to broadâ€" en the scope and force of the Act. In such event as "ardent‘"‘ or ‘"strong" supporters of the Bartleâ€" man candidate have been proved to have been published without the knowledge or consent of the unfortunate victims. The headline about Row!( wanting the Bartleman candidate in his cabinct failed miserably of its purpose. But at the las minute there may be further delving into the olC bag of tricks. Let the voter beware! There ha: been ample time for any honest criticism or the exposure of any real grievance. It would be wel! for the next day or so to set down any special ballyâ€" hoo for what it most likely will beâ€"the desperate effort of a defeated party to do something to bring a little hope or sun into the dark prospects. Beware the ballyhoo! And especially beware the last minute ballyhooâ€"usually an insult to the intelliâ€" gence of the voters. The foolish boast was made at the Conservativet convention at Iroquois Falls last month that the Bartleman ballyhoo in the Bartlemam newspaper and on the radio would carry the Bartleman party candidate to victory, just as it élécted him to th« council and the mayoralty of Timmins. Apari from the fact that it was not any influence of th« Bartleman paper that brought victory, but othe: cirecumstances and conditions, the boast should be taken as a warning to the public against the Bartleâ€" man ballyhoo. This warning is particularly needâ€" ed in the dying days of the election when it might be hoped that truth would not have a chance t( catch up on ballyhoo. There may be "pink sheets‘ issued on the eve of the election, with all sorts 0| absurd claims or charges. With the Bartleman forces made desperate by the knowledge that thi is an intelligent community and that ballyhoo doe not take the place of reason or argument, warning is specially given against the last minute tactic: used in other campaigns. Practically all the ballyâ€" hoo of the opening of the campaign has been disâ€" counted. Names and pictures of men publishec TIMMINS®, ONTARIO.
