Back to the peak year of 1929 was the statement made by those who kriow. Well it certainly was good to see the thousands who have visited this part of the country during the past few days, When you stop and figure the amount of money that each one spent while here, per day, per person, you will realize the value of cultivating the tourist traffic. In an outstanding address to the press at the Canadian National Exhibition Directors‘ Lunchâ€" eon last Friday, the value of this great industry to Canada as a whole was presented. The speaker told of the millions of dollars spent last year and how the sum would be: greatly increased this year. We who are in the centre of the area that these tourists pass through should make every effort to cultivate this trade and give them every encouragement to visit. Every single visitor to this community spends money and the welâ€" eome and attraction should be well presented and adâ€" SUNDAY night down town and across the city was like a busy holiday. The streets were filled with those looking for entertainment and for a good time. With the bright lights of the theatres ablaze and the number of American guests swarming the hotels, one would think that they were in Montreal. You could not help but catch the spirit of the crowd as they congregated about the différent shows. True these shows did not open till after midnight. True they did not break the law in the letter. Yet is this not a dangerous practice that is growing up in this fair city? Do the people need to be given this extra entertainâ€" ment?> Is it advantageous to the young people to put on these midnight shows? It does seem that there is no need for them and that they awe stepping too near the border to bring about Sunday entertainment. It is the thin edge of the wedge that pries open the sealed éase. If the people are educated to look for midnight shows as each holiday comes around, it will not be long before it will be a regular thing. Then there will folâ€" low the next step, a Sunday night show. Thinking people should take notice of the trend along this line and see that they raise a voice against midnight shows on Sunday nights preceeding the holidays. ‘Times and Guide LABOUR Day has been duly celebrated and is now past. Those representing the various trades and unions of labor have demonstrated to the world theirâ€"power and strength. They have shown that they eontrol their. respective lines of endeavor to a certain degree. They have massed their forces and hurled their challenges. Yet is this all? No; labor has made m magnificent contribution to the world. By its efforts and through .its sufferings it has raised the position of the worker in the universe. As a direct result of the work of union organizations, humanity has been the benefactor. In the factory, shop, store, street and home you will see the benefits from the efforts. of trades unions. Well indeed may the people express their feeling in a general celebration as has been oUT OUR WAY SUNDAY NIGHT MIDâ€"NIGHT SHOWS ‘There is, however, from one element a great danger TOURIST TRADE INCREASING TRURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1936 SIGNIFICANCE OF LABOR DAY Charters Publishing Co.

These people who are not content with the laws and working conditions of this country would create for themselves a place where they can rule and dictate. They are mostly foreigners who would upset the peace and harâ€" mony of the country.

Reds have no place in such a union until they are willing to recognize that other people have rights and will not be dictated to by the reds. Labor Day is a national recognition of what labor has done for humanity, IN AN Editorial appearing this week in a popular weekly magazine the "loanâ€"shark" termed the "meanest man in Canada", is shown up in his proper light and hope is expressed for the incorporaâ€" tion of new clauses in the law controlling Banking and Commerce. Whatever the laws are which are made and however well they may be enforced, it will always be difficult to control the shyster salary buyer who is willing to take chances where practically his only hope of reâ€" covering principle together with the huge interest charged is to apply blackmail tactics. Much however could be done towards the eliminaâ€" tion of this menace to society by an extension of the new small loan arrangements recently put into operaâ€" tion by some banks where money is loaned at regular interest citizens. Some local banks have quite recently helped out a number of families in need,â€"families who were reaâ€" sonably well fixed and holding a good reputation but who found themselves in tight corners for the moment. The Banks are to be commended for the advance made in this direction and it is hoped that they will go much further and thus make it unnecessary for many who find themselves in difficulties to approach these vultures "who parade as human benefactors" as they are described in the Editorial referred to. We take the liberty of quoting from Liberty: "He is the loan shark who thrives in our midst, apparâ€" ently exempt from all the laws of God or man. We preâ€" sent him to you: The Meanest Man in Canadaâ€"an exâ€" cellent fellow to steer clear of. His nefarious trade is the biggest blot on the pages of modern business. It is a steadily .widening stain on our social order that must be wiped out without delay. "Shylock was a piker, as compared with his modern counterpart. Our upâ€"toâ€"date usurer would have no qualms in exacting his pound of vietim‘s flesh, simply because there would be no blood left to spill. The luckâ€" less debtor would have been wrung dry long since., "The loan shark plays the benevolent role of Santa Claus to those who lack, in equal proportion, hard cash and a working knowledge of arithmetic. The victim finds out, sooner or later, that two and two do not alâ€" ways equal four. * "As a matter of fact they more often total twenty to thirtyâ€"seven in the dizzy realm of loan shark higher mathematics. "Interest rates are often set at sixty per cent per month, if you please. Loans are thus repaid scores of times by the unfortunates driven to the point of desâ€" peration by the insatiable greed of their arrogant overâ€" lords. A gigantic and unregulated exploitation of the defenseless poor is simply the substance of it all. "This is an era when certain businesses have been so quiet you could almost hear the passing of dividend cheques. Ethical business is making an uphill fight to normaley, bedevilled by numerous odds. Yet here is one business that is a stench in decent nostrilsâ€"a business earning almost legendary profits at the expense of the propertyless poor, "Here is a ruthless racket that runs into many milâ€" lions each year. Here are tens of thousands who are being brought into the new serfdomâ€"chained to the chariot wheels of the only real privileged class of which our country can boast."

The Editor, The Times and Guide, Weston, Ontario. Dear Sir: OPEN FOR UMâ€" Reverting to my letter of two weeks ago to the Open Forum, concerning the platform of the Communist Elecâ€" Lihqn Committee of North York Townâ€" ip. & Incidentally, I mifht mention that I received a letter from a Communâ€" ist which was signed anonymously and part of which was this sentence: "Communism is based on a decent livâ€" ing for all." How fallaceous that statement is, the following will prove. I expounded the C.E.C.‘s proposed squandermania works programme two weeks ago. Now for work and wages. Within the meaning of the Indusâ€" trial Standards Act vfi:ich was passed last year, 90 per cent of the townâ€" ship‘s unemployed are "common laâ€" bourers", and that is in no way meant as a reflection on the labourer. The rate of wages for labourers in Halifax is 30 cents per hour for a 44 to 54 hour week; Montreal, 15 cents for 40 to 60 hour week; Toronto 40 cents for 40 to 48 hour week; Winniâ€" peg, 37% cents for 40 to 48 hour week; Vancouver, 35 cents for 40 to 44 hour week and North York Townâ€" ship, 40 cents for 40 to 48 hour week. As the C.E.C. propose that a laâ€" bourer should only work 30 hours per week and the civic rate is 40 cents per hour, a man would earn $12.00 per week provided he worked full time. However, the \sr-uther in this part of Canada does flot allow a man to work full t)‘me during the winter months, At‘least ten weeks are lost and consequently ten week‘s wages or $120.00. Therefore, a man would receive $504.00 per annum instead of $624.00. 0 â€" There are five persons in an averâ€" age family. The cost of food, clothâ€" ing, rent, fuel, water, etc., for such a family is $16.00 per week or $832.00 per year. _ _ f ul Under the Industrial Standards Act skilled mechanie# work 40 hours and labourers are allowed to work 48 hours per week because they cannot make a decent living at 40 cents per hour on shorter time. Communists think that to work more than 30 hours per week is a deâ€" triment to the workers. While it ‘is quite true, less than 40 hours work per week might, give more employâ€" ment, it is equally true that if a man works less than 40 hours he cannot make an adequate living. _ According to a report by Jack Cotâ€" tam, business manager of the Carâ€" penters‘ Union, he says, "I do not think it gives more work but‘ it does not reduce work." . F. L. Smith, business manager of the Painters‘ and Decorators‘ {'nion, states, "I do not think it creates more employment." â€" Cecil M. Shaw, business agent for the Electrical Workers‘ Union, noted that the 40 hour act had little effect on his union. W. H. Martin of the Home Buildâ€" ers‘.Association, says, "In view of the hard winters here, men on buildings Shm;(ld be allowed to work 44 hours a week." If a Communist council is elected in the township, would it not mean that every labourer in the township would have to go into debt over $6.00 per week, every week in the year and in addition, he and his family would still be relief recipients for at least ten weeks? The C.E.C. says, "In entering these elections we have no illusions we reaâ€" lize that only a complete abolition of the Capitalist system will basically change the situation of the working class." Under the Capitalist system, a famâ€" ily of five on relief in North York Township, receive more than a man would be allowed to earn under a Communist regime. Such a family receives, $24.00 per month for food; for light, $1.00; for fuel, $1.35; for water, 60 cents; taxes, 100 per cent if he owns his property and 200 per cent if a tenant 'fiis amount is for the summer months alone; during winter this amount is increased in total value. Under the Rritish North American Act it is not possible for the Dominâ€" ion government to provide direct reâ€" lief. _ It is necessa in order to act legally, that the l-“:;onl administraâ€" tion shouh} cooperate with the provâ€" inces in aiding municipalities to alleâ€" viate distress. If the Federal government assume the entire burden of relief, the necesâ€" sary machinery would r«rin am exâ€" penditure entirely unjustified. _ _ _ If Federa# funds are simply handed over to municipalities without any corresponding _ contributions _ from :’d?' would not the treasury be raid< ed ? â€" That the best check upon extravaâ€" mwAm q‘"c:'ulty g"*“‘uto ?m the miripfality‘pn;- Phones: * vide some of its funds for relief, a is mmt the Provincial fOffice 192 Residence 2973 povernment taking over the relief nroblems of the township last year.| "If it wasn‘t for me you‘d be the Ry so doing it cost the taxpayers bwnlodhmmm' thousands of dollars more for relief | ow does it feel to head the list ?" T 449 %ueen's Drive, eston, Ontario. September 4, 1936 & GUIDE and the relief recipients were far worse off. For the first eleven months last year relief expenditures amounted to (â€"nou{h money to pay 400 men a wage of $10.27 every week during that period. Whether the Federal or Provincial Fovemment paid the entire cost of reâ€" ief administration it would be just as much a burden on the taxpayers; ultimately the cost would be paid for ithrouqh increased Federal and Proâ€" vincial taxation. â€" . M The C.E.C. forget the truii:‘n that in the long run the taxpayers have to foot the bill, irrespective of whether the Federal, Provincial or Municipal governments supplies the funds. _ Is there anyone so silly and so suâ€" })ine as to permit amateur selfâ€"conâ€" essed experimentalists to take their social and business fabric apart to see if the{‘ cannot reconstruct it in a "pat- tern that is more to their liking? _ The next election in the township iwill not be won by the Communists because the electorate desire a conâ€" tinuance of sound, {msiness-]ike muniâ€" cipal government.
