THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1928 PLAN FOR WINTER JOBS FOR MINERS OUT FOR HARVEST May Open a Central Clear ing Station at Regina Sept. 12--While no definite been reached yet, a central cl ouse from whic British miner! ters will be fur- ed winter employment may be ted in Regina, The establish- ment of such a bureau, though not necessarily in this city, is expected to be the outcome of a conference held at the Parliament Buildings to- , which was attended by represen- ta of the Provincial and Federal Departments of Colonization, the same departments of the two great transcontinental transportation com- Janis, the Government labor serv- ce and the United Farmers of Can- . ada, Saskatchewan section, Supplied with the most accurate figures available, the conference found that a total of 8500 men had been brought to Canada under the miner-harvesting scheme, It was also found, according to a statement handed to the press following the meeting, that 700, in round numbers, had either sailed for the Motherland or were on their way to a seaport with that idea, Out of those left-- 7.800, in round numbers--practically all were wor and satisfied. The situation, therefore, was considered ad Colds Vapors inhaled quickly clear head extremely satisfactory at the present time. Of the total in Canada, ap- proximately 6,000 of the men were ted in Saskatchewan. Weeding Out Slackers Winnipeg, Sept. 12--"We are just finding out the slackers, that's all, and 1 am quite confident that the majority of the men were making good. declared Hon. Robert Forke, inister of Immigration, following a conference today regarding British harvesters which he had with Com- missioner as Gelley. About 600 have been sent back to England, Mr. Forke continued, and possibly 200 more would go back as aving failed to make good; but that left something like 8,000 British harvesters in Western fields who h | Were not being heard from because they were too busy working. He had talked with the physician who exam- ined 200 of the men sent on their way home Tuesday and only one out of the lot had really been physically unfit, and he was subject to epileptic fits. The others could have worked had they not lacked the will, Plenty of Work "There is plenty of work," said Mr. Forke, mentioning that 1,500 men had been wanted at Regina this morning. He had himself come back all the way from Ottawa to see that five British harvesters on his own farm got a good start. He thought the farmers who cut the wages of British harvesters because of inexperience were being a "little shabby." At the same time he agreed that men new to the work were bound to be in- ferior to experienced hands. Harvest work was special work, when every one was driven to the utmost, and the farmer should keep that in mind when paying wages, : The Minister warmly praised the work of Mr. Gelley in handling affairs at Immigration Hall under the most trying circumstances. "No one could have done it better," he aver- red, Big business {isn't so smart thera United States Steel says it paid $11,000,000 too much taxes in 1918, Why we would never make an error like that.--Brandon Sun, HUGE INNIGRATION PLAN IS RUMORED Would Settle Millions in Canada--Deputy to Go Overseas Ottawa, Sept. 11.--The story that Premier King is evolving a plan for settling here 2,000,000 Britishers, and the later story that he is to discuss it with Premier Baldwin, and that Deputy Minister Egan is going to join them in the conference, is char- acterized here as pure imagination. Any such figure, it is said, exceeds the wildest dreams of Canada's ab- sorptive Safacity. As is well known, there are plans for increasing the flow of British mi- grants, mainly the proposals of Lord Lovat, but they embrace only a frac- tion of 2,000,000. No one here has heard anything of this plan, nor, of- ficials say, is it given any credence whatever. Mr, King's trip overseas has no connection at all with immi- gration, it is said. Trip Planned Weeks Ago W. J. Egdh, Deputy Minister of Immigration, who left for England today, arranged to go weeks ago, it is learned here, and his trip is said to have nothing to do with any par- ticular plan of migration. Before leaving Mr, Egan stated that his sole mission is to see to the carrying out of the reforms suggested by the Par- liamentary committee, mainly in re- gard to the medical inspection of British migrants, the re-engagement of British "roster" doctors, and the co-ordination of their work with the Canadian medical officers who are to continue in charge. Mr. King's visit to Mr. Baldwin is said here to be purely social, in ac- ceptance of an invitation extended some weeks ago. The meeting is personal, and not to discuss immi- gration or anything else, Ottawa of- ficials claim. Winnipeg, Sept, 11.--In connection with an agreement between the Over- seas Settlement Department, the Can- adian Pacific Railway and the Hud- son's Bay Company for settlement of families in Western Canada, it was stated today that the railway and the Hudson's Bay Company would pro- vide the land for 200 farms of 160 acres each and equip them for occu- pation. The previous report stated that the railway would supply the land, but it developed today that the two companies would co-operate in the matter, NEW MOVIE MERGER AGREES ON TERMS New York, Sept. 12--The first step in a $250,000,000 merger of nearly 4,000 moving-picture houses and the- atres was affected yesterday when directors of the companies involved agreed on terms for the acquisition by Warner Brothers Pictures, Incor- porated, of« stock in the Stanley Company of America. Assets of these two companies total $100,000,000, and they control nearly 300 theatres. The interests that operate these companics seck also a merger with the Keith-Albee Orpheum Corpora- tion, itself 'a merger of 203 theatres, which controls the Pathe Exchange. Tt was also rumored yesterday that an alliance with the Shubert inter- ests was desired. Yesterday's merger terms were an- nounced by H. M. Warner, President of the company that bears his name, and Irving D. Rossheim, President of the Stanley Company. The deal places Warner Brothers in a formid- able position to compete with the William Fox interests in the exploi- tation of audible films. I#y One Dose See how much better you oul nH our.

RESPONSIBLE 19 Confidence Men Are Turned Over for Deportation Montreal, Sept. 11.--Inquiry into Montreal police activity by the Ex- ecutive Committee of the City Coun- cil had reached the point, according to announcement by the Chairman of the executive today, where it was de- finitely known that the 19 United States confidence men involved were after detention by Montreal detec- tives, handed over to the local office of the Canadian Department of Im- migration for deportation to the United States. The probe resumed today after a week-end adjournment, and the "scope is extending," stated the Chairman. The present probe, which is being heard in private, started last week, when the executive announced the suspension of seven higher officials of the Police Department, including the Chief of Police. The number of suspensions yesterday was brought to nine, At the close of today's session the Chairman gave out the following statement: "We have sat all day, and we have heard as witnesses members of the secret police who were under the direction of Captain-Detective Gilbert Laverdiere. We also receiv- ed some Aldermen who gave to us the information they had received as rumors in connection with the round- up of the confidence men. This af- ternoon we were in conference with J. S. Fraser of Ottawa, Eastern Dis- trict Commissioner in the Depart- ment of Immigration. I am now able to sav that we know definitely that the 19 confidence men were taken from cells in Police Headquarters and were turned over by the Montreal officers to the Department of Immi- gration, where an officer said he | would take charge of them." WOMAN AT WINDSOR HAS LOST MEMORY Windsor, Sept. 11.--Her memory completely gone, unable to tell her name, where she lives or whether she is married or single, a woman of about 45 years of age, is in Grace Hospital here today under observa- tion. How long the woman has been in this condition is ndt known. She walked into the office of F. F. Mc- Lennan, 901 London street west, and |. told him of her plight. The only thing she could tell the doctor was that she had ridden on street cars for a time before going to the office and that her last recollection was of sit- ting on a bridge somewhere at a time she cannot remember, However, the woman had in her possession a photograph through which Windsor police were trying to locate her relatives. This photo showed a woman that strongly re- sembles her, standing beside an auto bearing an Ohio license. The license number is clearly discernible, and through it the police hope to trace her identity, The woman was well dressed, is about five feet, five inches tall, and weighs about 140 pounds. She has dark hair and wore a black and white striped dress, GRAFT IN LIQUOR CONTROL (Toronto Mail and Empire) American newspapers are qis- cussing the so-called Canadian sys- tem of handling the liquor problenr, and those who are opposing Gov- ernor Smith, who approved it, point out that a similar method was tried out in certain Southern States many years ago. One of the yeasons for its failure there was 'corruption among the administrative officials. The Canadian system is by no means perfect, but at least it is ffee from this kind of graft, and we do not see why it should not likewise be free, in the United States if ad- ministered by the right kind of of- ficial.
