The idea has been ultivated that Canada is a big coun- try, that it has employment for many men, and that these must be support- ers of the government in order to get or to hold public positions. As a matter of fact the civil service is not so enticing as it seems. The verage clerk must be a wire-puller or he will not get promotion. The com- mission may have some check on the situation, and may debar some people from office, but the government will find some way of taking care of its own~t0 a limited extent.

Under Mr. Campbell, 'who hdd made a special study of the business, and who had opportunities of seeing the best in other places, the account's branch and the statistical department had been overhauled, and it would be nothing short of a calamity to dis turb the records now without serious- ly considering the effects of the same. The, special committee should re surrect the report which' Messrs. 8' snnon and Ireland presented some yeiurs ago. With this in hands the committee will be guided as to the next step its members ought to take. Bonar Law expects something to show his regard for Canadian prefer. ence.

Why should human life be differently estim- ated? Why should the victim if his life is be forced to an action, at law with ell the harassments and hazards of litigation to get compen- sation for a e-long injury, or a fatherless fgmily be forced into court to gain some monetary redress for the loss of a life to which they have looked for support, and which has been claimed by the money-making processes of the day? This is the question which hundreds ol thousands of workingmen on the mines, factories, the buildings, the metal trades, the several branches of trapsportation have been asking them- selves for years, and this is the 'ques tion which 'they lool to those who are seeking their support to answer. What answer has Mr. Whitney given? None. He has shelved the whole question. He has appointed a chief justice of one of the courts to report upon it, and the chief justice has been a year upon the job, and has not reported yet. Now the new minister of labor at Ottawa, ostentatiously informs Him through the press#that he will be glad to place the library of the federal de- partment of labor at his disposal. If a library is necessary for this pur- pose, why has the bureau of labor in the provincial buildings not such a library? Because Sir James Whitney, true to Tory tradition, has abolished the bureau, oxcept in name. What the workingmen of Ontario want is not reports by any chief justice. They have had enough to do with _ judges 'and Jaw courts. They want to get away from law and all its associa- tions. They want justice, but not just- ice obtainea through litigation. Now this is what Mr. Rowell and the lib- eral patty are pledged to give them. Nothing could be more complicated or in some respects unfair than the law on workmen's compensation, as it is in Oi io today. It is as respects similar legislation in other provinces, far behind the legislation of Alberta, Manitoba, Nova tia, and British Columbia. The Hhberal government romises a law modelled after recent egislation in Britain. Wherein is that legislation different from our own ? the onus is on the workingman or his representative to prove that the em- loyer was guilty of negligence. In the "nglish law the onus is on the em- ployer to prove that the fault was the workman's. Moreover, instead of leaving it to a jury to fix the amount of damages, the statute fixes specific pig "> ps injuries with the re- sult that ers have found it pro- fitable to _-- their workmen against accident and settle in the majority of cases .on the basis fixed in the sched- ule, instead of going inte court. The English act further extends the provisions of the act to injury occas ioned through certain occupational diseases. To my mind it should be possible to have all | cases of death and injury and industrial disease ad- justed without litigation at all, either by a state board appointed for the purpose or in some other was, and this I take is what Mr. Rowell has in mind whon he speaks of insuring in all cases payment of such compensa. tion. What chance has an injured workman against a corporation? And how much chance. the dependent of a deceased workman? These indus trial ateieuts are inevitable to oe tain industrial processes, humanity de- mands that pain and igjury be not aggravated through ligation, end justice demands a knowp coinpensetion for a known loss.
