GIBSON, Agent TO FORT WILLIAM WELL SATISFIED The delegates from the Dry- den District Board of Trade who attended the Second Annual Convention of the Northwestern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Com- merce at Fort William recently, speak very highly of their recep tion in that city, and appear to be well satisfied with the re- sults. Over 40 delegates from outside points attended, and tlie discussions on the various reso lutions showed that all sectioms were working together as one unit for the good of Northwes- tern Ontario as a whole, Resolutions covering the com- pletion of the Sioux Lookout- Dinorwic Highway and the com- peltion of the Trans-Canada Highway from Kenora to Dry- den, were strongly supported by the local delegates and received the unanimous support of the | members of the Association. Dryden Board of Trade also sponsored resolutions asking that fishing license fees for residents of Manitoba, be reduced from $5.50 to $1.00, the reduction to apply to the electoral districts of Kenora and Rainy River. This resolution was passed by the Association without much dis- cussion as it was felt that the privilege at present enjoyed by the districts adjacent to the Manitoba Boundary should be extended further east.

This ends the arguments and does away with any solution I have tried to offer. You must remember that it was just as difficult to reduce working hours from twelve to ten, and then from ten to eight, as it is to get from eight to six. We must therefore, muddle along at ten and eight hours a day, when we work, that Is when we have work, because the Employer's Associatien having no better solution to offer, can- not even give consideration to this means of world improve- ment, It is more practical to have millions out of work, scores of millions = with lessened buying hundreds of thousandg entering manhood, as charity recipients. without opportunity to work. than make the only remaining experiment, lessened labouring hours for the whole of humanity, including artisan, farmer, clerk. I indict Labour itself, not Capitalism ; Labour with its vot- ing power, overwhelmingly pow- erful, should it wish, even in a capitalistic world. Labour, Farmer, Cloth inimie- al to each other economically at least they say it, and believe it. True, allging with each other politically occasionally, and gen erally making a muddle of it Because of course, the political alliance, is temporarily expedient, and not based upon permanent and possibly mutually conceding common sense. Each of these inferior? Classes "of mankind has common ground with all of other. But, the Employer's Associa tion gays in fact, that shortenec hours are not practical. Well let us look at another story. This not my invention but one probably that you have seen as well as I. * Fw A certain farm employed 4( men full time. True, it didn't pay, at least not dividends. The farm was modernized with powe: and now employs four men in stead of forty. It now yields : fair profit, varying, I suppose with the year. 'What happened thrown out? Bear in mind, imaginary case, scientific research, the answer. Ten got other work. Two ar picking up odd jobs, in fact one is catching rats. Twenty-fou are unemployed, drawing fron public funds. This is the romance of moder: life, of mechanical invention, anc the tragedy of nowadays. The farm - did not pay the owner with 40 men. It pays with four, and in order that orc to. the 3€ this is not ai this is one:-o and this i 1 {owner may flourish, 36 men are disturbed. Is there a way out? Of cours: there is, But not by the majoritiy o answers to the questionnaires sent out by the Employer's Association of Canada.
