Collison, Publi her HEENAN'S RESOLU- TION FOR 8-HOUR DAY TALKED OUT OF HOUSE Hon. Hugh Guthrie Declares Matter is One for the Provinces - (Port Arthur News Chronicle) OTTAWA, Ont, May 18.--- Once more, tonight, the Houss of Commons debated the question of establishing the eight-hour day throughout the Dominion, and once again constitutional difficulties were cited as a har to any immediate action in this respect. Hon. Peter Heenan, former Minister of Labor, and Liberal member of Kenora-Rainy River, brought the matter up. In a resolution setting forth that (lanada is a signatory to the Treaty of Versailles "thereby subscribing to the principle of a maximum working day of eight hours," Mr. Heenan called upou the Government to take steps to insure the fulfilment of treaty oblieations relating to hours of work. | Although Hon. Hugh Guthrie. Minister of Justice. intimated that the Government had no objection to the resolution pass- ing, it wag still under discussion at 11 o'clock adjournment. Ti therefore , comes into the cate- gory of private members' legis- lation which has been "talked out," and will probably not he digeussed again during the pre- ent session. Within Jurisdiction The question was one of civil rights, and therefore came with- in the jurisdiction of the Pro- vinees, Mr, Guthrie informed the House. Rt. Hon. MacKenzie King, Opposition Leader, had previously suggested that the Dominion Government speak to the Provinces "with some foree and effect" in order to get ac- tion. Whileagree ing that the matter should be discussed at a Provincial conference, Mr. Guth- rie did not think the Dominion could speak "with force and effect" on a question coming within Provincial jurisdi¢t on. "1 will not be a party to die- tating to the Provinces on a mattter within their control," said Mr. Gtuthrie. Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Immigration, had previously assured the House that the whole situation would he given consideratign. With the exception of British (folumbia. no Province had at tempted to carry out the ideal expressed in the treaty, Mr. Hee- nan said. He suggested the pro- per course would be to call a conference with the Provinces on the subject. Asked why he had not seen the eight-hour day enforced on all «Government work, the former Minister of Labor said he blamed nether the Liberal Government nor the present one, hut it was time that action was taken. The British North Act again appeared as a stun ling block to social legislation, said J. S. Woodsworth (Labor, Winnipeg North Centre). If Can ada had authority to sign the peace treaty, then surely it should have authority to carry out its obligations. Minimum Wage Law Feonomists were now arguing that to relieve unemployment the working day should be even less than eight hours, | Tt might be suggested that legislation for a short day would mitigate againgt piece-workers, The an-- wer to this was that a minimum wage law should be passed to ensure piece-workers a decent living wage. | No member from the Govern- ment benches had entered the debate when A. W. Neill, (Inde- pendent, (Comox-Alberni), ros: and criticised the Government for not giving expression to their views. As far as the con stitutional question was concern- America mbh- CHILDREN'S 0 BATH AND GYMNASIUM ON NATIONAL TRANSCONTINENTAL TRAINS - | | A ern beauty parlor, and valet service the traveller may leave the train fit and ready for anything, these are part of the services provided by the innovation of new bath-room and barber shop lounge cars on The Confederation of the Canadian National Railways. In keeping with its policy of providing "firsts" for the use of its patrons, the Canadian National Railways have introduced many new features in * the new lounge cars, of which twelve are being placed in service on this train for the comfort of t...ns-con- tinental tourists. 'The miniature gymnasium, with its Swedish mas- sage and other electrical exercisers, is the first of its kind placed on reg- ular service by any railway. In addi- tion this car has a buffet from which iced drinks and sodas may be served; a combination radio and gramophone Ww rss Seren WHEE bath ¥oom where the traveller may enjoy the luxuries of bath or shower; a gymnasium where he may work out "the kinks" which may have been caused by a day's travel; a barber shop with all the latest appliances and appointments of tke mod- to ensure that set with loud-speaker and headsets; the barber shop with appliances for both men and women patrons, and the entire lounge section fitted with Vita-Glass windows to provide the passengers with the beneficial violet rays while they. are travelling. The Confederation operates between Tor- onte and Vancouver, and the cars are being placed in service as quick- ly as they are received, Master car huilders pronounce them the fitisst piece of railroad equipment yet turn- ed out in Canada. They are finished with a specially selected English silver harewood, with chairs and settees of solid Honduras mahogany.
