Borden's Appeal for Har vest Workers, 8ir Robert An appeal to the people of Can- The Latest Market Reports ada, to the great industries, banks, Commercial Institutions and employ- €T8 generally to assist in providing labor to garner in the harvest has been issued by Sir Robert Borden. Owing to many representations to the Government with respect to the shortage of labor for harvesting op- erations the Prime Minister called a meeting of transportation companies and. of several . other important bodies for the purpose of arranging as far as possible for the provision and transportation of labor to those portions of the country where it is most needed for gathering the har- vest, + At that meeting representa- tives were present on behalf of the Canadian Pacific "allway Company, the Grand Trunk Railway, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, the Canadian Northern Railway Com- pany, the . Canadian Manufacturers' Association, the Canadian Bankers' Association, and the Imperial Muni- tions Board. In the absence of Mr. R. B. Bennett the National Service Board was represented by its secre- tary, Mr. Peterson. The Ministers of Trade and Commerce, Railways and Canals, Labor, Militia and Defence, the Interior and Agriculture were also present. The following appeal has been is- sued by the Prime Minister in pur- Suance of suggestions made at the meeting: "The Government has received from many quarters urgent repre- senfations as to the need of arrang- ing for the provision and transporta- tion of labor necessary for gathering the harvest in some portions of the country, especially the Provinee of Ontario and the Prairie Provinces. An urgent appeal is made to the peo- ple of Canada for assistance and co- operation to meet this very urgent need. It is vitally necessary that no portion of the approaching harvest shall be lost through it. That harvest is required for the sustenance of the men who are fighting the battle of civilization aud humanity in every theatre of war, it is necessary also i for the sustenance of our own popu- lation and the people of all the allied nations. The time during which the harvest can be gathered is very brief, the necessary labor must, then, be available, for the work cannot be per- formed at any other time. "There are many other industries of the highest importance for the purpose of winning the war, but in almost all these industries work can be carried on during twelve months of the : 'ar. The Government appeals for every possible effort by the great industries of the country, by the banks, by commgreial institutions, and by all employers of labor to assist and co-operate. To those who are employed in industries other than agriculture the Government appeals for such co-operation and aid as will ensure that all available labor for this most essential shall be forthcoming. There 'is in Canada abundance of human energy to en- sure the gathering in full of the ap- proaching harvest without material ly interfering with other essential industries. By the good-will and co- Operation of all our people that most vital and essential purpose can be fully secured. Wa appeal also to the women of Canada who can assist by supplying the places of those who leave their employment to take part in barvesting. The Government is confident that its appeal to the Cana: dian people for this great purpose will not be in vain." Lacrosse Player Honored. = One of the best known lacrosse players in Canada has proved that he is as fine a performer in the ma-| tional game of the moment as he was for many years in the Dominiop's national game. Corporal Gry Smith of Cornwall learned to play lacrosse In the Factory Town, and he played for several seasons with the Corn- wall team. When the Big Four was in existence, Guy Smith moved to Toronto to play with the Tecumsehs. He proved a hard working and ag- gressive player and soon, becamé a favorite with the Toronto fans.
