IMPERIAL BANK BUILDING KENCRA ONT Troops At Riot MANVILLE, R.JI., Sept. 1--National guard troops rattled into Manville on army trucks today to quell forty-eight hours of rioting which cuulminated last ight in injury to nine persons during a clash between State police and an in- {uriated mol of 1800 striking operat- ives of the Manville Jenckes Co., Tex- tile Mills. An attempt was made to fire the mill. The police suffered three casualties in the rioting. ¥.

Honest traders hagwdisked for increased police protection, but the Ki preferred to grant the request of those the public revenue. 6 Guilty knowledge even in 1923 of thi ./4uds that were being practised has been proven against the King Government beyond the shadow of a doubt. Time and again, in 1924 and 1925, the Commercial Protective Association--an organization of business men--placed before Mr. King irrefutable evidences of it, that they had succeeded in tracing down at their own expense. With hiz Government hopelessly entangled with Canada's criminal element, Mr. King did not--dared not-- take any action to remedy the 'appalling conditions. een a party to defrauding ness, debauching o A total revenue loss estimated at $35,000,000 per year was the result of the smuggling thus condoned by the King Govern ment. A $54,800 loss was sustained in one case alone when Mr. Cardin, Acting Minister of Customs and Excise, settled for $3,200 with a dishonest importer, who, according to Mr. Cardin's own officials, had cheated the Trzasury out of duties amounting to $58,000. This deal was consummated just previous to the last election. ¥ O E'ree liquor, from Government warehouses in Montreal, was supplied in generous quantities to members of the King Gov- ernment and to Government officials in Ottawa, in contra- vention both of the Federal Law and the Prohibition Law of Cntario. [4 The habit-forming drug traffic is one of the worst curses in the world today. Under the protection of the King Govern- ment, Montreal became one of the great dope-distributing centres of North America. : fra 1 1 The peak of this corruption, and of this interference with the Customs collection and the administration of justice, is proven by the evidence to have been reached just prior to the general election of October, 1925, when, at the written request of Liberal candidates, Ministers of the Crown called off the Royal Canadian Mounted Police because they were enforcing the law, kept convicted crooks out of jail, and sanctioned Treasury frauds as a means of securing the return of the King Government to power. Despite the fact that with Mr. Kennedy supporting them, the Liberals had a majority on the Investigation Committee, that the Chairman Mr. Mercier was a Liberal, and that the Prosecuting Counsel Mr. Calder was a Liberal candidate in the last election, and despite the further fact that the comn almost daily for five months, thus affording Liberal members ample opportunity to uncover mal on the part of previous ministries, not orie word of proof, not one breath of suspicion, was brou against the administration of the Customs Department under the Laurier, Borden and Meighen Gov ments, but only against its administration under Mr. William Lyon MacKenzie © ities sat casance h rii=- H £ i fo} = ( 0 King !
