PAGE FOURTEEN HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORT ENDORSES STATE INSURANCE Recommended Parliament Have Matter Further Investigated PROVINCIAL TASK Declared Responsibility For Legislation Rests with Provinces Ottawa, May 18. -- Unemloynfent and state sickess insurance is ad- vanced a year. The committee which has been investigating this question Wednesday made its report 3 the House of Commons and the report favors from alpha to omega the principle of unemployment in- surance. The basis of application is in doubt and experience in the British Isles is to be probed as a guide to Canadian procedure. The report of the committee to the House of Commons reaas: "The select standing committee on industrial and international re- lations begs leave to present the following as their third and final report, "Your committee has had under consideration a resolution, which was adopted by the House of Com- mons on March 21, in the follow- ing terms: "Phat in the opinion of this House the Committee on Indus- . trial and International Relations be EYESIGHT SPECIALIST Erratic shots on the golf course Balls missed or fumbled, [It may 257 1516 Disney Block, Opposite Post Office Children's Cotton Stock- ings, all sizes, Special, pr. 10¢ 1.Collis & Sons 50-54 King St. W.

"Your committee proceeded, directed, to investigate.the.subject of insurance against -unemploys ment, sickness and invalidity. The Assistant Deputy Minister of Las| bor, who was the first witness, pre- sented memoranda of information dealing with the systems of insur- ance against unemployment, sick ness and invalidity which exist in various countries. also a memoran- dum of information relative to sys- tems of voluntary sickness insur- ance and benefits which have been developed in this country. The di- rector of the Employment Service of Canada furnished the commit- tee with an® outline of the opera- tions of the .free employment of- fices which have been established by the provincial governments in G4 centres throughout the Domin- ion, and which are assisted by a federal grant. Witnesses appeared before the committee on behalf of organized labor, public welfare as- sociations, and the Canadian Manu- facturers' Association, and express. ed the views eof their respective organizations on the subject mut~ ter of reference. Jurisdiction "The Deputy Minister of -Justice gave evidence on the question of the respective jurisdiction of the Dominion and Provincial Govern- ments regarding unemployment, sickness and invalidity. "While the time at the disposal of your committee has been too short to make as comprehensive a report as the. importance of this matter demands, your committee submits the following recommenda- tions: "1. --That "the necessity of pro- viding some method of unemploy- ment insurance is one that will in- evitably have to be dealt with be- fore long, as a solution, in part, of the industrial problems of the pres. ent day. "2, --That we accept and endorse the "principle of unemployment in- surance, based on the compulsory conritbutions derived from the state, the employer and the em- ployee. In this/conpection, we would point out that a' somewhat similar decision was arrived at hy a Royal Commission on industrial relations, which dealt with this subject in 1919, #3,--That the evidence of the Justice Department makes it clear that the responsibility for such legislation rests on the provincial authorities, it being within their jurisdiction nuder the provisions of the British North America Act, hut that it would be within the power of the Parliament to contribute. by grant, to such provinces as adopted such legislation, following the precedent set in the matter of technical education, highway econ- struction and, more recently, the Old Age Pension Act, "4 --That, whereas the condi- tions of unemployment vary so much more from province tn prov- ince, than those relating to old age, it would he very desirable, for the success of any plan of unemploy- ment insurance that several of the provinces should be willing to aet simultaneously. In view of these circumstances, we are of the opin- fon that this matter should be re- ferred to the various provinces, to ascertain which of them would be prepared to congider adopting leg. islation of this character, and to what extent. "5, --On the very important suh- ject of the cost of unemployment fngurance your committee has pericnced great difficulty, in arriv- inz at any definite conclusion, ow- ing to the lack of data as to the amount of employment either con- stant or occasional in character. There apnears to be no definite method of ascertaining the upem- ployment at any given .point for any lenzth of time. We, therefore. recomemnd that the Government immediately devise some means whereby the amount of the unem- ployment, over a period of a year could reasonably be calculated, "f,--That as unemployment in- surance has been 'in operation tm a number of years in Great Britain, exe from REPAIRING WATCHES OUR SPECIALTY satisfaction we can repair and make it tell the correct time D.

Safe Loading of Livestock Ottawa, May 18.--The House of Commons, through the Department of Agriculture, is endeavoring to find a more humane method for the marketing of animals, Representa- tives sat throughout yesterday and in their discussion agreement was general that the situation is open to resentment by the public in gen- eral. The Montreal Star was quot- ed frequently throughout the dis- cussion for the exposures which have been made during the past six months, e-- r-- ed in connection with shipments to the Montreal livestock market and it was reported that starved ani- mals had actually eaten other ani- mals, that many hogs had been trampled to death while inhumane conditions existed with regard to cvercrowding in freight cars. A reassuring statement was made by J. 8. Innes, of the Montreal hranch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aninrals, who said conditions recently had improved.
