HUTZAL, Mgr FIRST FAI) WAGE CLAUSE INSERTED PULP CONTRACTS ("Ottawa Citizen," March 14,) The recent pulpwood contract ne- gotiated with the Manitoba Paper Company contains the first fair wage and fair working conditions clause the Dominion has inserted in pulp contracts. The clause was drawn by Hon. Peter Heenan, minister of labor, and it is the most comprehensive of any yet insisted upon by federal gov partment of Labor of the Dominion so doing as their demands de not get be yond established pracYces in similar industries in the district concerned. The clause in the new contract, and which is said to have been accepted as suitable to use in future contracts in place of the old fair wage contract, is as follows: "That the Company shall pay to those employes in the industry wages rates not less than those which are generally accepted as current in each trade or occupation in similar industries; and shall maintain conditions of Johor not léss favorable than those prevailing in similar industries in the district." -- : Do you believe in this kind of PROTECTION?

GIBSON, Agent, Dryden To The Editor WABIGOON, Ontario March 21st, 1927 Re One of the Board and J. D. A.--in Your Recent Issue. Dear Sir,--It is to be deeply regretted that a purely local controversal sub- ject, such as this should be brought be- for the public in this fashion, which is making Wabigoon the laughing stock of the whole district. I would not have answered these articles but for one reason, which I will enumerat> later; but before doing so I would like to say a few words, Since I came to this district, some years ago, it has always been my one aim to encourage anything of a nature that would tend ta uplift and to try to make life worth while, more especially the younger peo- ple, It does not matter to me whether they are Swedes, English, Scotch or Irish I have the same enthusiasm for one as the other, to me we are all human. But to get down to what the Scheal Bgard past and present are doing and has done. In the first place the Band which should have the hearty support of Board and Public are refused permission to practice in the Basement, "that would be hidegus grime." Next came along the Fi shermen, they want- d te repair their nets in the Base- Death of Mrs C. J. Swanson UPON receipt of news of the illne:s of their daughter, Mrs C. J. Swanson, Mr and Mrs E. W. Wice left Monday for Provost, Alberta, only to arrive there one hour after she had pas:zed away on Tuesday Night. The late Mrs Swanson, who was be- for her marriage, Miss Viola Wice, was well known in Dryden, having spent her girlhood here and her death comes as a great shock to her many friends. Besides her parents, she leaevs to mourn her loss her husband and six children, the youngest of whom is only six weeks old, and three brothers in Dryden, George, John and Albert Wice to whom the heartfelt sympathy of the community is extended. Burial will take place in Dryden cemetery, but funeral arrangements are not yet complete, The Perfect 32 (by Nurse Osborne.) Irvin Cobb once said "One of the greatest joys about be'ng berm is that we are bern without teeth." Perhaps it is but we are not born without them for long, for we are cutting, losing, and ment, seeing there was no crime n doing so they were allowed to use th Basement, which I might a dad. ag was was the children. Then next came along the Y.B.C, which is purely an educational & soe al welfare club, their subjects being Missignary, Devetional and Educa- tional. This club was formed by Mr Wilson, Student-in-Charge of the United Church. No one can deny that this club is a valuable asset to the egmmunity, there may have been dis- crepancies by some of the lads, but nothing to kick up all the fuss about. A little quiet talk by one of the Board for instance would have been far more sopthing than to antagonize their vgung minds in the ridiculous fashion they have adopted. Then we come to the Dog episode whch "one of the Board" refers to Why try tc heap coals of fire on the | Y.P.C., the facts of the case are that two or three adults were practicing on the organ, I would as:ume that i» all probability the Dag was asleep when they left and by an over sight was locked in. "But" did not the man come forward honestly and offer resti- tution, "then why harp on that and try to make the case of the Y.P.C blacker? What I weuld like te knew is, seeing that we have no public hall, where are meetings of these descriptions to be { held; ) ¥y main- wol Board is aeting | with unwarranted unfairness both to | themselves and to the public in general. | for what reason I cannot fathom. Now, coming to the reason why I answered these articles "One of ithe Board insinuatingly refers to pick and shovel work that is still going on and that things are being unearthed which the two o f the former Board may be called on in the near future to explain. {This vitally interests me, seeing that iL was on the Board at the time of his reference, but seeing that there were three on the Board it would be inter- esting to know why he refers to two and to which two he refers to. Any- way if he is refering to me, I would advise him not to beat about the bush: hop right to it. I expect to remain in Wabigoon and am ready to defend myself against one of the Board ov three of the Board against any accusa- tions they wish to make, assuring you I am not running away. So in the meantime I call your bulff. ."--PRO BONA PUB] ICO. that the sci WABIGOON--St. Patrick's Day was observed in proper form, by the W.

The weekly meeting of the Young People's Club was held on Saturday night at the Aaron residence, under the direct'on of Mrs Mel Wright. A large attendance went through the Devo- tional exercises. The next meeting will be held in the United Church build- ing and will be conducted by the Rev. H. A. Rivers. A lecture on Missionary work illustrated by lantern slides is on the programme. Canon Lofthouuse and Rev. Jacques held a Lenten Service in the English Church on Monday Night. Following was the annual meeting of the Parishioners and election of Wardens and sidesmen for the coming year. B. Rhind and H. Betts were selected as Vicar's and People's Wardens respec- tively. Next day the Canon was busy renewing old acquaintainships, he has a tender spot for Wabigoon, for it was here that he was initiated into Church worl by the Rev. Archdeacon Cooper, many years ago.
