Mr. Saxton is a newcomer to the political arena, but party stalâ€" warts fancy him as a suitable man io represent a mining district such as lthis. Both the CCF party and the Conâ€" servative â€" party â€" have preâ€"election meetings â€" scheduled for this week Friday evening at the local Masonic hall, the Conservatives meet. Toâ€" night in the town council chambers here, the CCF will hear Mrs. M. Wright provincial councillor. The CCF has already appointed a campaign manager in the person of Axel Sjorberg, who campaigned for the party at Sudbury during the last election. The CCF is also scheduling an early appearance here of Clarence Gillis, Dominion member for the Maritimes who played a prominent part in the debate on the recent passage of the bill authorizing _ the government‘s suhsidv on gold, as related elsewhere are to be this month and next month, by means of an agreement with their employer, I think it is those who work in mives. The hon.member for Ciogary West (Mr. Smith) last night made certain remarks. He is a man who is quite f{amiliar with the mining industry. ~He. served fir many years as the lezal adviser to the United Mine Workers out im western Canada. He knows the scors. Last night he sgaid that this house was weeping too many subsidy on gold, in this issue. salty tears over the dife cf the miner, thas; the mirer had a wonderful life once a miner, always a miner. I was a miner for twentyâ€"six years and I would tell hon. members this. I have caid it in the house before and I say it again. If I had my choice of going back to the mine or of putting on a uniform and fighting a war. _ I would put the uniform on and fight the war. That would be short; it woud be quick and I would have some fun while 1 was doing it. But if the hon. member for Calsgary West thinks a miner‘s life is a nice cneâ€"and this applies equally to coal and gold, I supposeâ€" Mr. SMITH â€" (Calgary West): I did not say it was a wonderful life. said the other two things, but let us be thing like that. Mr. GILLIS: Wel, by implication Mr. SMITH (Calgary West): I would not go down in a coal mine if{ you gave me the mine; that is, if I had to work in it. Mr. CILLIS: I am glad to hear the hon. member for Cal#@ary West say that. He says he would not go down in a coal mine if they gave it to him. I suppose that the same thing applies to a gold mine. Mr. SMITH (Calgary West): I have not been in one. Mr. GILLIS; He is quite satished that it is a wonderful life for somebody else, and he tries to kid this house that we ars weeping tco many salty tears over the miners. I am on the side of the fellow who has to get out of bed at four 0‘cock in the morning, in the middle of the night and wend his way out into these large mines, walk for hours, sweat All day, and come back again at night. Then the following week he goes out at three o‘clock and he is back home again at twelve o‘clock Comical things happen. Last Friday evening a prominent loâ€"| cal member of the medical profession appeared at the union hall on Algonâ€" quin boulasvard E. about 7.30 pim. He saw a crowd cf miners standing before the hall @iscussing the move made by William Kennedy in attempting to take over control of the hall. . From inside the union office at the left the sound of angry voices resounded to the street as Reds and Antiâ€"Reds battledâ€" verâ€" bally. It looked like a freeâ€"forâ€"all would break out.

At one recent sitting here he dealt "with ~65° cases" in 62 minutes, mostly minor liquor and traffic offences, The manner in which he runs his court is something which has drawn the admiration of his brother magâ€" istrates throughout the <province.* No respecter of persons, â€" treats all _who come before him alike â€" rich or poor, important or obscure. OA classic example of this occurred ! in the early 1930‘s when he was dealâ€" | ing with a case in which it was chargâ€" | ed that jobs in a local mine were beâ€" \ing sold to immigrants by a Schumaâ€" |i'hcr boardingâ€"house keeper. Key ;witness in the case was the manager | of the mine in which the jobs were alleged to have been sold. This man was regarded as the most important man in the North. Due to his posiâ€" ttiun his word was virtual law about i'.‘\c camp and he was treated with diffidence by all who came in conâ€" tact with him. But when hbe failed to appear in | Magistrate Atkinson‘s court for three | Magistrate S. Atkinson, 68, a famâ€" iliar figure to most Northerners and a pioneer of the district, completed 40 years of service on the bench this Spring. It was 83 years ago, on May 6, 1915, that he heard his first case in the Porecupine Camp, in the old courtroom attached to the provincial jail at South Porcupine. Noted throughout the district for his ready wit and efficient discharge of justice, Mr. Atkinson, then a young businessman, was appointed . magisâ€" trate for Hailleybury on March 235 1908. On November 49, 1910, his adâ€" ministrative territory was . expanded to include the town of Cobalt and the townships of Coleman and Bucke. Later appointments were made on May 7, 1912, as magistrate for Temâ€" iskaming, Sudbury and Nipissing disâ€" tricts; on October 1, 1914, as Juvenile Court Judge:; on February 1, 1923, magistrate of Cochrane district and on August 17, 1934, as Provincial Magistrate. ‘ iL. ~gan t recal everything which happened that first day nere, out 1 do remeimber that it was a very large liquor docket," He said with a smile, Over the years he has heard every type of charge time and again, from murder to expectorating on the sideâ€" walk. â€" Numerically, the number of rases he has dealt with is stupenaous. A reliable estimate of the number would be in excess of 150,000. In reâ€" cent years he has dispensed justice at the rate of 5,000 cases a year and sometimes this figure has jumped to 7.000. "The type of offences in this district haven‘t changed a great deal". But when he failed to appear in Magistrate Atkinson‘s court for three successive sittings on the excuse he was "too busy," he received a rude jolt. The magistrate ordered that a bench warrant be issued for his arâ€" rest if he did not appear.the followâ€" ing day. He appeared. Always courteous with the members of the bar who appear before him, lie is still not one to be bullâ€"dozed by a lawyer who is arguling a case. ‘There is the wellâ€"known story of the time a legal light of this type from North Bay appeared here, Renowned as a bullying type in a courtroom, the lawyer tried out his tactics on the local magistrate. It didn‘t work out.. With a pulverizing display of language the magistrate drove him back on his heels. The man had inâ€" tended to set up a practice here. When he saw that his type of profess onal talent was useless he decided against it. of = he by ‘T‘he Anâ€" incident occurred â€" here this Spring which illustrated the type of steelâ€"trap imind which operates beâ€" hind the magistrate‘s smiling exterâ€" ior. Two local men â€" were charged with asaulting a DP, The two acâ€" cused stated that: the D.P. hnad used abusive language, after testimony had been given that he could not speak English. After the twoâ€" lawyers fore him had solermnly discussed abusive language which had alleg been used the magistrate said: * English. After the two> lawyers beâ€" fore him had solermnly discussed the abusive language which had allegedly been used the magistrate said: "How could he use abusive language when he can‘t speak a word of English?
