THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1929 BRINGS MESSAGE T0 'SCOTTISH BORDER: . His Election Tour in North Britain TRADE DEVELOPMENT Anxious to Gain Power to Resume Work Party Began . Hawick, Scotland, May 16.--Rt. Hon. Ramsay MacDonald brought the message of the Labor party to- day to ti:s Scottish borderland. His meetings at Hawick and Selkirk marked the opening of a Scottish campaign tour which will take him back and forth across the High- lands. : Here in these border burghs, leg- end and story echo centuries of strife. In the main street of Ha- wick a figure on horseback marks the exploit of those Hawick gal- lants, who, after the battle of Flod- den four centuries ago, 'routed the English marauders and captured their flag."

Should Have Led at Geneva "We ought to take our place at Geneva not merely as a nation which follows; not merely as a na- tion which waits until the United States has spoken and then says 'yea' or 'nay' or 'yea-nay,' or var- ies its answer with 'nays.' If that is your conception of the role this country ought to play it is ceriumn- ly not mine." He continued: "What you esx- pect from your representatives at Geneva 1 am sure is mot a cauiivus waiting until some other people have spoken, but a courageous, weil thought out and inspiring lead go that the natiofis of the world weary of war and thirsting for peace may turn to our country for light and leading guidance. That is what we tried to do in 1924, I should like to be able to do in 1929." As he spoke of trade develop- ment, Mr. MacDonald declared: "We come not to destroy; we come to fulfil." He claimed that during its short term in office the Labor government of 1924 by appointment of the Balfour commission had taken the most conspicuous step in a generation towards formulating a well thought out and scientitic plan to stimulate British industry. BE IN VANCOUVER IN JULY 15 AN Girls Tramping From Toron- to to Vancouver Have Funny Experiences Winnipeg, Man., May 16.--After hiking 350 miles over rain drench- ed roads, working their way from Sault Ste. Marie to Fort William on a Great Lakes freighter and riding for 400 miles 'on a freight train from Kamistiquia, Ont., to Winni- peg, Hilda Beaton and Barbara Thorning, two English girls, hiking from Toronto to Vancouver, arriv- ed here almost broke, but deter- mined to reach their destination by July. Wearing travelstained breeches and high prospectors' boots that bore the marks of many miles on highway and railway track, the girls set off from Winnipeg after an overnight stop at an hotel. "This is our last night at an hotel," said Miss Beaton. 'From here on we start to work our way at farm houses. . We're broke and we're ready to chop wood, milk cows or perform any kind of farm chore to earn a meal along the way." The girls have had good luck and bad luck since leaving Toron- to. Sometimes they have 'hitcn- ed" motor rides; other days they have walked thirty miles without seeing a human being. The best part of the trip, they said, was the boat ride from Sault Ste. Marie to Fort William, They were passen- gers on the S.S. Renvoyle, a Cana- dian Steamship Company Freight- er, bound to Fort William for au grain cargo. They walked 21 miles along the track from Fort William to Kamistiquia, where they hopped a freight which brought them to Winnipeg. They have covered more mileage in two days since reaching the West than during three weeks' travel over the eastern part of their tour. 'The funniest experience we had was when we called at a steam-~ ship office in Owen Sound to see it there was a boat leaving that we could take. They asked us if we were English and we said we were. Then the man said, 'vou English are all crazy, and he slammed the door in our faces," one of them related. Once, after a hard day on the road, they dropped into a railway station tired and hungry. They slept there all night. When the station agent found them next morning he gave them their break- fast. AUTO INSURANCE RATES FIXED AFTER INCLUDING COSTS Commission Inquiring Into Conduct of Companies In Ontario Toronto, Ont, May 16--Mem- bers of the Canadian Automo- bile Underwriters' Association arc trying to work into the costs upon which their rates are based the head office expense of companies whose head offices are not in Canada. So declared Mr. Justice Hodgins, special royal commissioner, probing Ontario auto insurance rates during yester- day's afternoon session, when stat- istics compiled by Major E. A. Nash, of the firm of Clarkson, Gordon, Dil- worth, Guilfoyle and Nash were in- troduced by V. Evan Gray, counsel for the association. Following up his claim, the com- missioner stated that these expens:s had not even been reckoned with when the bureau of the association had set its rates, but that when the rates are being probed the claim is set up that they should be consider- ed. The commissioner declared that he could not see "why I should im- port costs to justify these rates, which at present, do not exist." Continuing, he stated that the insurance comp- anies know their business, he presu- med, but that up until the present no allocation of head office expense to be borne by the Canadian business written by non-Canadian firms had been set and that none should be taken into consideration in attempt- ing to justify the rates which exist at present, That is what" RIGHT IN - THE SHOULDER 'Fruit-a-tives" Did Stop ".

LAKE STEAMERS ANNOUNCE CUT IN RATES ON GRAIN Freight Charges From Head of Lakes to be Slightly Modified Montreal, May 16.--""The effect of these reductions in rail rates will be some slight modification of the all- water rate from Fort William and Port Arthur to Montreal and Que- bee," said T. R. Enderby, General Manager of the Canadian Steamship Lines, in a statement issued today in connection with the grain cut an- nounced by railways in the United States and Canada. "The reduction of two cents per bushel in the freight rate on grain from Buffalo to the American Atlan- tic Seaboard ports may be interpre- ted as a somewhat belated attempt on the part of United States rail- ways to influence the movement of grain 'traffic, now enjoyed by, Mon- treal and the St. Lawrence rdute, to the Buffalo gateway," said Mr, End- erby. "It was made at a time coin- cident with the political expediences in the United States, and in that phase of the situation it was nothing more than an effort to offset the dis- advantage of the price at which Am- erican grain was being held in com- parison with the price of other grain in the world's markets. An attempt to solve any marketing or price prob- lem of this magnitude, particularly such an important one as that of the United States or Canadian export wheat crop, by the method of having the transportation system absorb a part of the differential in the price needs no comment.

Suggested That WILL EXAMINE ANGLICAN SUNDAY SCHOOL SYSTEM Sunday School Is Replacing Church Going London, Ont, May 16.--Deci- sion to examine the Sunday school system of the Anglican Church to see whether it is meeting the dis- tinctive position of the church as regards public worship was decided on by the Synod of Huron last night after what Archbishop Wil- liams described as "the warmest debate in years." The present Sunday school system came in for criticsm from many angles, the at- tack being led by Venerable Arch- deacon Fotheringham, of Brant- ford, Ont., who said that Anglican Sunday schools were turning ouv members for a Christian society but not churchmen, least of all, Anglican . churchmen. In too many cases Sunday school was re- placing Church going, he said. LEGALITY OF ABS. UPHELD, O'CONNOR Formed Mainly for Protec- tion of Organized Labor, He States Toronto, May 16.--Denials of al- legations that Amalgamated Build- ers' council was illegal and conce1v- ed with ulterior purposes is con- tained in a detailed defence and explanation of the organization fur- nished to the press yesterday by W. F. O'Connor, K.C., who drafted the constitution of the A.B.C. The group is mow the storm centre of a tripartite plumbers' war in con- sequence of its agreement with the Journeymen Plumbers' union where by union plumbers are refusing .to work for a number of master plumbers not belonging to the A. Cc Protection of organized labor from repudiation of working agree- ments with which unions have had to contend in the past was one of the main purposes of the formation of the A.B.C., its registration un- der the tnades upion act, and its agreement with the plumbers' union here, Mr. O'Connor asserts. Under the criminal code and the com- bines act he says, agreements be- tween trade unions and groups of employers were legal and binding for the unions registered under the trades union act, but not legal and binding for the employers, either singly or collectively.
