Well, we will put it an- other way. What is machine! Unconsciousness? It is inventing, patenting, per- fecting a machine, without any thought of the human entity iv displaces. Mark the difference. The inventor thinks, and the capitalist thinks of the human abour to be saved but surely @® right when we contend, chat neither of them care for humanity. The: thinking of the human element "would be machine con- sciousness. Supposing a thousand invent- ors, invent a thousand machines, doing a million men out of work and taking five million people from a living, what do the in- ventors and the money makers think or care of the suffering flesh and blood? Oh yes, our old friend mass production comes in here. Fab- ricate the stuff so cheaply that everyone can afford to buy it, and turn these million men into making something else, and the circle will so enlarge, that every - body will be happy! + Con if you will, all the ola arguments, prove to the hilt, that cheapness creates demand, go on, as owner of factory, bank president, manager. and superin- 'What is tendent, broker and company promotor, and where do you arrive? Marshall your facts, anniliate by statistics the fatuity of those who disagree with you, tell them prosperity is around the corner, carry the bluff along, until dangerous starvation alone! and then' makes you hesitate, please answer truly and really, where are the people that the machine has displaced. " Where are they we ask? Alive? Let us hope so! Pros- perous and contented? = Well let us have a look at them if they are. Immure from criticism them- selves? No, really not. hecause they wasted some substance, when they might have saved. Poor devils, they had to have some joy in life. Between our- selves, can they so easily buy these cheap things from mass production? between ourselves, have they found something else to do? You in the iors of your nice home, closed car, etc., ete. although suffering from lessen- ed dividends, know that your solution is not true, and that humanity is unequal and unjust. It has ever been thus, will it ever be? We are afraid so, if the scl- fishness of machine unconsecious- ness endure. To what do we turn then, make depression non existent. Shall we abolish the machine, to with all the beneficial progress, it has made? To for the race is what we seek. Shall we find the solution in labour itself? = We think so! Please remember we make no arbitrary division between white collar and no collar class, no difference hetween the bourgeois e worker and the farmer. We | in labour all those who oil. And we say, peering in the future value of years, that some day all this great mass of hum- sav- anity will earn living and ing wages if they so desire at (Continued on Page 4) gy ---- ou nll to or ect of? aur resulting Also, ! ask this is to! raise the laugh, because comfort] Hutchison, local business man, F'who died Wednesday last, i church Saturday afternoon i Rev.

BOARD OF TRADE HOLDS GENERAL MEETING The quarterly general meeting of the Dryden and District Board of Trade was held in the Town Hall, Dryden, on Febru- ary 12th. 'Owing to the severe weather the attendance was not as large as usual, but the meet- ing was full .of interest. The secretary reviewed the activities of the board since the last gen- eral meeting. These included the following: Reserving of Thunder Lake for angling pur- poses; Application for 25 pairs of Hungarian Partridge; Appli- cation for settings of eggs of Ring-uecised Pheasants; Gather- ing information re Market Day. The application of the Board for a resident game warden is' re- ceiving consideration by the De- partment. The Board are also in touch with the land depart- ments of both the CPR. and the CNR. re land settlement. They are alo cooperating with the Thunder Bay Game and Fish | Protective Association to make the district attractive for tour- ists. The question of radio inter- ference was brought us, together with the question of a Memorial to those who fell in the Great War. These and other matters will he referred to the next meeting of the council of the Board of Trade. The President outlined activi- ties in sight. While no specta- cular work has heen done it is felt that a good foundation is being laid for future successful work which will be of inestim- able value to the Town and District. HOCKEY NEWS This Si mitay lave will be two Hockey games at the rink. At 2.30 in the afternoon Fort William. Midgets will play the Dryden Midgets and in the even- ing at 8 o'clock Kenora's second strong junior team will meet the best we have in Dryden. This should be a real Hockey game, so don't fail to be at the rink sharp at 8, * spectacle "power trator, Sir Wm. Mulock, acting Lieutenant Govenor in the ab. sence of W. D. Ross, who has resigned. The Administrator, who is 88 years of age, carried cout his duty with a dignity and clearness surprising in one of his advanced years. It is a striking tribute to him personally to be 'placed in this position after a life time of service to the people. The chamber was crowded with Members and their invited guests prior to the usual hour. To those few of the unemployed who gathered near the door of the Parliament Buildings, the of the beautifully gowned ladies must have been surprising. Coupled with the State Ball held at the Royal York the same evening, one wonders if the display of wealth and lavish expenditure would not be regarded as adding fuel to the smouldering flame of dis- content at the present economis conditions. The speech from the Throne rather reviewed the world con- ditions and lauded the action of the Government, insofar as pos- sible, in its administration dur- ng the past year. The proposed Yovernment legislation recom- mended will be: Bills for the relief of mortgagors, to amend ; the Old Age Pensions Act, an' Act respecting the operation of | Industrial firms, an Act to amal- gamate the Ontario Railway Youtieionl Board with the Bur- eau of Municipal affairs. Meas-: ures of retrenchment were also forecast but the disclosures as to what they will be were evi- dently left until the budget is brought. down. ; | Following the speech from the Throne, Mr. Lg reported the results of the by-clections and the two new Members of the House, Mr. Arthur C. Burt !- of Norfolk and Mr. Paul D.| Munro, of South Wellington | were introduced and given their seats. The selecting of the: standing committee for the us- ual purposes were also appoint- ed. The procedure of adjourn- ment was varied to provide for the funeral of the late Honour- able Thomas Crawford on the following day, when the hour for beginning the session was placed at 4.15 instead of 3 o'clock. The Thursday session was marked by the introduction of! one or two Bills and the moving and seconding of the reply to the address of the Honourable Administrator, by two Govern-| ment supporters. Mr. Argue Martin, of Hamilton West, mov- ed the motion in a very well prepared speech in which the Government was commended for its unemployment relief measures and for the extension of Hydro . within the Province Special mention was also made of the Government Employment offices and the work performed by them in bringing the out-of- work to the vacant positions. Mr. J. A. Sanderson, of Gren- ville, seconded the 'motion in one of the shortest speeches on record, in which he touched upon the Agricultural situation and ventured the opinion that Ontario would he in the lead when the up-turn began. Tt was very noteworthy that neith- er one of the speakers suggested that the turn for the better was at hand. Another noteworthy feature was the fact that there were in the Opposition benches only two absent members, who were prevented from attending on account of illness, while on the G ovens side there were less than half, 42 to be exact, in their places. The House sat on Friday less than twenty minutes and the total business consisted of the reading of * two petitions for Private Bills and the introduc- tion of an Act to Amend the Insurance Act by the Attornny General. This Bill has to do with Automobile Insurance. Monday's session was ndtable for the adjournment of the House only ten minutes on a motion to adjourn. There is a feeling among the' combined Opposition Members : that there is little hope for a very thorough investigation respect to two matters, namelv:! the purchase of the Madawaska power sites from the O'Brien interests and the Dominion pow- er transmision Company at Ham- | ilton, when the only counsel per- |. mitted to assist in examination | happens to be a member of a! firm of barristers who have! heen engaged for years by the Hydro Commission.
