Considerable agitation is going on al the present time in the City of Toronto for the purpose of having the city engage In the business of supplying gasoline at retail prices to motorists, Ostensibly the idea is to give Toronto any benefit of cheaper gasoline at present being supplied by a few refineries in the United States. But the motive behind it is really deeper than appears on the surface. The facts are that a few United States concerns have a surplus of gasoline at the present time and they intend to make that surplus a wea- pon to. capture the Canadian trade from the firms already established here. Once that is done prices will 80 up again,sprobably beyond what they are now. What should be La- bor's attitude to such a price war? At first sight it will be said that they should welcome anything that would reduce prices. But should they? La- bor must first look at the conditions existing. in the United States plants and then compare them with the r which the workers are employed by the Canadian firms, and if that is done, then the advant- age, so far as the worker is con- cerned, is overwhelmingly in favor of the Canadian firms. Investigation shows that their workmen are treated well, of which further proof can be found in the fact that their workers have been with them for years, that a great deal of self-government exists throughout their plants im connec- tion with conditions, that employees are taken into consultation and have a voice in the industry, and that by insurance and -- welfare methods the workers is in an excel- lent conditions as compared with the same class of labor in the United States ; There is also another aspect to be considered and that is the Canadian compa have plant equipment, the manufacture of which has put mil- lions of dollars in wages into the pockets of Canadian workers and if we are to build up Canadisn in- dustry, then it is better to have these plants working at full time-to have them idle and buy our gasoline from the United States. . Labor must strenuously oppose the proposal to have the city of Toronto engage in the gasoline business, be- cause itg effects would be to damage Canadian industry which is doing good work, and because it means | adding more unemployment to the present situation without giving the benefit of cheaper gasoline to the '| consumer, end in fact, without any return benefits at all, THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG GANANOQUE _ | _Oct. 23.--Billy Gilbert returned from Kingston hospital on Tuesday evening and his many friends will be glad to know that his eye is going to be alright. : Following is a list of deputies on the plebiscite vote to-day: No. 1.--Edward Walker.
