The Pierre Racine has been en- Yorn for a long time towing liners up the river and many Montrealers "have watched the little vessel at work as they have been return- ing from Europe.

IMPROVEMENT IN QUEBEC BUSINESS C.M.A. REPORTS Montreal, May 13.--Consider- ible improvement in commerce ard Industry throughout the Province of Quebec with particular com- mendation of the manner in which Montreal handled its unemploy- ment problems during the past year, marked the presentation of the committee reports Monday af- ternoon at the annual meeting of the Quebec Division of the Cana- dian Manufacturers' Association in the University Tower Building. Allan M. Mitchell, of Montreal, 'was elected chairman of the divi- sion, with N. W. Warren as vice- chairman. James H. Webb was elected chairman of the Montreal Branch and E. Howard Smith, vice- chairman. : Attacking a problem which 1s world-wide in its application, there i8 possibly no city on the continent has been able to make 'such a splendid degree of actual pro- gress" as the City of Montreal dur- ing the past year, due to the cre- ation of an Unemployment Com- 'mission and the hearty co-opera- Hon which it received from the en- lire commercial and industrial com- munity here, N. C. Polson stated in presenting his report as chair- man of the_ Municipal Affairs Com- mittee. "Tt is noted that during the past year the committee was able to secure notice of all the municipal bylaws of the City of Montreal which were not available before. These are being indexed so that the incoming committee may be able to make an intelligent review of them during the coming year. In connection with the Montreal Commission on Unemployment, the committee commends the work of Norman Holland, chairman and Allan M. Mitchell, a member of the board, Services Improved Mr. Polson reported for the sub- gommittee on legislation that by co-operating with the Postal @e- partment, "" a great improvement in service was effected." In this instance it was emphasized 'hat a completely satisfactory postal ser- viee in the city will not bz realized until the new Terminal Post Office ds arranged and "until that time difficulties impossible to surmount will face the business community in Montreal. v ST. THOMAS _ GAS USERS ORGANIZE St. Thomas, May 14.--O;ganiza- tion of a gas users organization to jress the needs of improved gas plant facilities in the city is said t; be under way. Similar organi- zaticns have been formed in other cities, The Times-Tournal learn- ed, and have been very effective in +" getting gas plants modernized and bring out lower rates to bona fide gas users. Evidence of what can be accom- _ plished by united effort in going after gas plant modernization Is . offered in the city of Bellevilie. Three years ago the old horizontal retort system in Belleville was re- placed by a vertical cvens plant similar to that to be installed in St. Thomas. The plant justailed in lleville is the smallest unit of he kind in the Dominion of Can- ada. The cost of installation three i years ago was $187,000. Previous- ly the gas rates in Belleville were as high or higher than those pre- yailing in\ this city. At a recent meeting the gas committee of the Belleville City Council introduced a 656 cents per 1,000 cubic feet rate to householders as an induce- ment to the use of gas in furn- aces in city homes. This rate is available to any Belleville citizen who installs a gas furnace or a con vertible process during the pres- ent year. The 65 cents per 1,000 pif 4 feet rate is 'to continue for s from the installation of ace. « 48 just one of the several jal reductions in gas rates have been made possible in le by the modernization of eity's gas plant. The 'lant jed for St. Thomas is con- bly larger than ' Belleville's | not cost in excess of $130,- Made on ° on Positions of Women on, May 13.--"We have to an economic blizzard. the women overboard." and mothers of working- milies are inclined to raise according to Mrs. Pethick- 8, President of the Wo- eedom League.

Opinion amongst Trades Unions was definitely in favor of legisla- tion tending to secure all available employment for men, It was ex- tremely easy to represent to work- ing women that the presence of other women in the labor market was a danger to men, and that the quickest way to secure well-paid work for husband and father was to prevent other women from get- ting it. Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence said they need not fear the issue, but they needed to be very courageous, very dogged and persistent in hold- ing their ground until other re- cruits gathered to the standard.

Miss + Battour "and: Mr, Campbell Av Unemployment Decreasing In Great britain London, May 13.--Despite a number of unfavorable factors the general situation is steadily im- proving; in this connection several concerted drives for business prom- ises to accelerate the upward turn as soon as uncertainties in the Eu- ropean outlook are dissipated. An employment rise of 6,257 dur- ing the week has been counterbal- anced by a decrease in the number of wholly unempjoyed by 7,052, and this is regarded as a highly encour- aging sign. Great Britain's ordinary revenue from April 1 until May 1 wds £60,- 042,634 ($300,000 in round num- bers). During that time the ex- penditure was £73,373,389 (about $366,000,000) as compared with revenue of £62,167,b26 (about $310,000,000) and an expenditure of £i7,690,207 (about $385,000,- 000) during the corresponding per- fod in 1930. The strain of last year's depression on the national income is shown in the statement of Right Hon. William Graham, President of the Board of Trade, in the House of Commons, in which he said that in recent years the na- tional income has been estimated regularly at £4,000,000.000 ($19,- 480,000). He now feared, how- ever, that the figures for; 1930 wouid show that this had decreased by between £300,000,000 and £400,- 000,00 ($1,500,000 .and §2,000,- 000). Improvement Indicated Sir Robert Horne, when asked his opinion on the trend ot affairs, asserted that In his view the stage was set, and indications point. ed to a surge towards prosperity, and this might just prove sufficient- ly powerful to set in motion the productive wheels of the world. Sir Robert was emphatic, however, in declaring that such a revival was impossible so long as the country was handicapped by a Socialistic Government. The Daily Telegraph has some interesting gossip to the effect that Right Hon. Philip Snowden, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, would not have taken the line he did, had he not known that it would be the last Budget that he would have any- thing officially to do with. The Telegraph evidently believes the truth of this, and adds: 'The likelihood of Mr, Snowden leaving the Treasury is not contingent on the fall of the Labor Government. It is understood that the Chancel- lor is retiring at the end of the year." Churchill's Move Expected Another intriguing report hints that Right Hon. Winston Church- ilI's "loneliness" in the House of Commons may lead to a dramatic move, that is to say, possibly the acceptance of the leadership of Sir Oswald Mosley's party. The Conservative victory in Scar- borough, by a smaller majority though with an increased total vote, the fight being a two-party contest, brought a fighting message of con- gratulation from Right Hon. Stan- ley Baldwin, leader of the Conser- vatives, in which he said: "The result is proof that the workers cannot be misled by emp- ty catchphrases, which are the last resort of a discredited Liberal par- ty." A considerable group of Labor members of Parliament, possibly a score, have asked Right Hon, Mr. Addison, Parliamentary Secretary the conclusion of the program re- freshments were served. Mrs. T. A, Nind is in where she is attending the W. convention. Mr. Barnett is a patient in Chris- tie St. Hospital at present, we hope he will soon be able to return home, Mrs. Robert Dickson, of Toronto, is spending a couple of months with her daughter, Mrs. G. A. Woods. At the annual meeting of the Port Perry Ladies' Bowling Club which was held recently at the home of Mrs, J. A. Mathers, the foliowing of- ficers were elected. Pres., Mrs. J.hn Murray; secretary, Mrs. Gordon Mec- Kee, treasurer, Mrs. J. A. Mathers: executive, Mrs. Pyatt, Mrs, Malcom Beare Mrs. Cecil Beare and Mis. John Nasmith.

One party landed a hundred and ninety five one evening and several more large catches have been reported. Miss Dorotha Nasmith has gone to Toronto, where she has accepted a position. We hope she will be suc- cessful in her new undertaking. Mr. Clarence Purdy, of Winnipeg, is the guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Purdy. Mrs. M. O'Brien and family wmotor- ed tg Toronto on Sunday wiere they attended the confirmation service in St. Helen's Church. Several members of the family were confirmed.

Toronto, A. to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, to discuss methods of fixing the quota, From this action Snowdonian Laborites stand aloof. The chairman of the Millers' Asso- ciation has declared that both quota and certification systems are un- workable and complicated. Re- garding the importation of flour, he stated: "It is demonstrable that a moderate duty on foreign wheat is easier to work than the quota. It will have no effect on the prices of flour or bread and will give an ob- vious advantage to the Dominions." Mosley Party Plans Fights The Mosley party headquarters state that it is their intention to contest forthcoming by-clections with a view of completing a nation- al organization which will then be held in readiness for the general election, prepared to enter that con- test on the widest scale.

TO SERVE MORE ADEQUATE STAFF FOR MEDICAL SERVICE Toronto, Ont.,, May 13.--Co-op- eration in medical services in the eight foreign fields of the United Church of Canada was proposed to the foreign mission board recently by a joint committee of the Wo- men's Missionary Society and of the board, with a view to securing a more adequate staffing of .hos- pitals and dispensaries, Women in the Canadian medical profession do not appear to pro- vide a large enough constituency from which the Women's Mission- ary Society may draw all the physicians needed for its medical work on the fields. Because of this the suggestion has come from one field that men doctors be engaged. To employ men on a satisfactory basis, a joint control of medical missions on the field is recom- mended. Equal division of the cost between the board of the W.M.S. and the foreign missions board is contemplated, Hospital Formally Opened Kingston.--Tuesday afternoon the new building at the General Hospital was formally handed over by J.
