Beal, of Ottawa, the Organizer, Pays a Visit to XKingston----Im- portant Matters Now Being Com- sidered. C. A. Beal, of Ottawa, organizer for the Dominion Retail Merchants' Association, when interviewed by thé Whig Friday morning, told of the practical results obtained by the association during the past yedr. The bankruptcy law, which kas gone | into effect, is regardgd by bankers and business men as the best Can- ada ever had. Then there is the fire insurance act, an act to make cor- porations responsible under the law and liable fo penalties meted out to individuals who commit fraud and legislation to make the crime of stealing auto- mobiles 'subject to more. severs penalties; making the purchaser of goods on the Sabbath Day, equally guilty with the seller; mot to pro- hibit the manufacture and importa- tion of oleomargarine into Canada; amendments to 'the patent and pro- prietory: medicine act; the abpatats ment of a committee to invéstigate mall order charges; the appoint- ment of the Inlafid trade commis- sion or board of commerce. Among the other important mat- ters now being considered by the Dominion government are: Fixing the weight of cereal packages; ampndments to the adulteration act and false advertising act; removal of the war stamp from patent medi- eines; to make Thanksgiving Day permanent on Peace Day; a law com- pelling all merchants to keep books from the opening of their business. Many of the matters referred to by Mr. Beal were of very great im- portance to merchants in every part of the Dominion, and the legislative committee has accomplished wond- ers. He pointed out the desirability of the merchants in every town and city being members of the local or dominion body in order that they may know what is taking place around them, and learn more abeut the conditions that affect their busi- ness.

Now, what I want { changed since or does it fluctuate to iswit the occasion or the parties in- terested? We were led to believe that we were entitled to first con- | sideration in regards to getting gov- | ernment jobs, and were assured from time to time that our claims 'would be recognized. Why break faith with us now that the battles of Flanders Fields have been fought and won and the war a matter 'of history? 1 have served over three years in the army, twenty months of it in' France. Am I not worthy of some little consideration? Now, when I was turned down for the age limit at the Kingston pen. I- was satisfied, because I thought as that was the rule it could net be broken just to please me, even if I was a re- turned man; but to my surprise I was told shortly after that a shoe in- structor, who had left the institution when the Conservative government came into power, had been taken on again in the face of the fact that he 'over the age Ifmit, and had been re as physically unfit, and re- ceived his gratuity years ago. This shoe instructor was not overseas, but was in business during the war. Now comes surprise number two in the person of an ex-guard, who played one of the leading parts in the investigation that took place at the pen. before the war. He finally resigned, reseived his gratuity and succeeded in landing a military job. He has held two different military jobs during the war. He passed the age limit years ago, but nevertheless he is back on the strength at the Kingston pen. The Kingston pen. being under the head of the Justice | Department,' one would naturally | look for justice. What I want to | know fs, is this justice from the {Justice Department? i --ROY BARKER. | 'THE NEW MINISTER." { Produced by Young Ladies of First i Congregational 'Church. | Ow Thursday evening "The New | Minister" was. presented to a full {house in the First Congregational | Hall, and was an unqualified suc- cess, the young ladies who made up the . cast exceeding their previous performances, Special mention must be made of Miss W.
