Flett, John: Noble, Dr. A. E. Ross, M.P., and Mayor Angrove. Despite the storm of Thursday evening there was & good gathering in the Labor Hall to hear addresses by Mr. John A, Fett, Canadian or- gauiz®®ot the A: Federation of Labor, Mr. John Noble, organizer of the electrical workers union, the Hon. Dr. A. B. Ross, MP, and Mayor Angrove. Mr. Jas. Breen, president. of the Trades and Labor Council of the city, occupied the Dr. Ross criticised the immigra- tion and protection policies of the present government, assuring the audience, however, that he was not speaking politically. He estimated that durjug 1923 the government had spent $3,600,000 to secure 137,- 320 immigrants, and during the same year Canada had lost to the United States 133,329 individuals. He advocated withdrawing all stim- ulus to immigration, leaving it to those who came of their own accord, and increasing protection to seovure diversified industries for the coun- ny. . Cures For Unemployment. Mr. Noble was the next speaker and assured his audience that the 'workers could suggest several cures for unemployment. One of thése was the universal eight-hour day. Out down the long hours and there will be employment for those not now at work. Another form of relief would be to spend the three million dollars which had been poured down the immigration sink in tak- ing unemployed from the cities and establishing them on farine with a little working capital to start -on. Prosperity alone will bring the im- migrants the country needs. No ime migration policy 'is as good as the word sent home by contented and i prosperous citizens. As for bringing out workers under false pretences, the Welland canal now being shown in large British centres, suggesting openings for 256,000 laborers, the speaker considered this more crim- inal €han cashing a cheque under false pretences. U yment in- surance, which had n successful wherever fried, should be imtrodue- ii ed In this country. Mayor Angrove. At this point Mayor Angrove ar- rived and was called upon. Tie mayor spoke feelingly of his exper. fences at the hands of the doctor's and dentist's unions, He believed that the C.M.A. at the back. of policy dnd 1 t the werk- men. He pointed out that theugh there are numbers of union man out of work in this city not one of them is registered at the . Ontario Em- ployment Bureau. Consequently, when a call came in for rivetters for the shipyard, not one was to be bad, and four gangs had to be brought from Montreal. The mayor made a special appeal for the Old Boy's Reunion. "I'm the boy who fathered this celebration and I want your help," he sald in on. ; % : Labor Movement, Mr. Flett gave a fine address on the labor movement. In the century that had passed since the labor Y BRITISH S09n became marked for his energy 48 en organizer in those early days of Canadian trades 'unionism. He rapidly until in 1902 he 'was elected to the highest Canadian office, that of president of the Trades aad Labor Congress of Can- ada. He has been for twenty-five, years an organizer for the 'American Federation of Labor, which makes [Hil him the pldest organizer in contin- {|i uous service in organized labor on {IH A week ago he was [JH the econ honored by a great banquet in To- ronto at which hundreds' of his || show {Jil fellow workers gathered to their regard for him. : Interviewed by the Whig at his {Ji botel, Mr. Flett stated that though |i not |} bright for labor we are at least at | the invhediate prospects are the bottom of the depression, Must Win Concessions. After' discussing 'several points covered later in his lacture Mr. Fiett declared that labor never got concessions except when it won them. The labor legislation was un- necessary where {abor was well or. ganized and ineffective wherever labor was too weak to enforee~it. He coneidered that at the Welland canal the government had most un- fairly scrapped the Fair Wage agreement and had taken away the eight-hour days at the point of ma- chine guns mounted on flat cars for the putpose [intimidating the 'workers. The Lemieux Act had been invoked to fine a sto eeper who fed 'the strikers during troubles at the Nova Scotia mines. It had never been used against an employer, be- cause the only punishment it could inflict against such people was to jail thelr workmen. It was a jug- handled law. It is often argued againat the claims of workers for higher wages that the industry can- not afford to pay more, Often, how- ever, this is due not to conditions inherent in the industry but to 7 al Partnership Dissolution SALE To-morrow will be one of the greatest days of this big event.

Why should the workers be penalised because the managers are incapable of tak- ing advantage of the opportunities which their trade offers? 'For a generation Mr. Fiett has fought against principalities and powers and the struggle has left its mark both in face and mental at- titude. But there is about him a sort of gruff two-fisted honesty and of hard humor which make easily 'understood the hold that he has on men. 3 ---------- A Great Bargain in Men's Overcoats.
