Wilson, the Conservative member for Windsor, has a bill before the Ontario Legislatnre, the UUJWII VI 7' ”Ova. -â€" . garnisheeing of a wage-carrier’s wages for the payment of a debt. Whether or not the bill will get the sympathetic consideration some think it should, remains to be seen. 6n the surface, the bill seems one that gives the wage-earner without credit, and the nouseless worker may find himself in the unenvtao ble position of having to pay cash or go without. Personally, we think Mr. Wilson’s bill will get short shift when it reaches the Legislature. A man there is no escape. Mr. Wilsons bill would divide labor into two classes: the prOperty-owning ar- tisan- who mav obtain credit, and 'vauw w- parent discrimination. sumâ€" YOUR NAMES Tnn CHRONICLE insists on all correspondence intended for publi- cation being signed by the writer. This is necessary in order that we may know that the writer is in good faith and is willing to let us know he is not merely trying to air some of his personal grievances at the expense of this paper. signed article got past us, and we} later found out that there were a couple of apparently harmless par~ agraphs that had a slam in them that nobody not a resident of the neighborhood would see. This week we have a contribution signed “A Subscriber," protesting against the alleged misdoings of someone in Welbeck vicinity. Needless to say, the article went into the waste- basket. A NEW ANGLE Henry Cartwright, Toronto, chal- lenges Attorney-General Nickle’s statement that the reduction of limelius Jarvis’ fine was not a popular one and would not be en- dorsed by public opinion. Mr. Cartwright wants Mr. Nickle to re- sign his seat in the Legislature and‘ contest Kingston constituency with? himself \Mr. Cartwright) as the opposing candidate. Mr. Cartwright surely cannot take himself seriously. Mr. Cart- wright would have everything to gain and nothing to lose in such an election. and in forcing the expense of an unnecessary election on the province, Mr. Nickle would deserve to lose. 7 VII-UV, vâ€"c â€"-- â€"â€" .- -_ , , . Ontario, by Frank Irwin, Edntqr \lonnoor 'nm Chronicle 13 COMMUNITY SERVICE The action of the Durham Fur- niture Company in its recently adopted policy of house-building is deserving of commendation. Not with a desire to profit thereby, but as an incentive to the town’s work- ing men to own their own homes, ve past few years curtailed all build- ing programs, especially of houses constructed for rental. The ex- periment of the Durham Furniture -___--â€"An‘ :* in Wi“ ‘ Ill-v-uv y. -_ _, Company, for experiment it is, will be watched with interest by a good many towns in Western Ontario and elsewhere whose housing prob- lems are as acute as our own.

T eir I only food comes from the relief sta- ‘ tion. and the ration received by this family today was bread. milk and potatoes; very rarely is meat inâ€" cluded. In the other part of this house, consisting of three rooms, lived a family of four. The man has had practically no employment for the past six months. One child, a girl of 12 years, has been sick for some time. This family is also re- ceiving relief from the meagre sup- ply available, and their condition is pitiable in the extreme.

This orodit was confined to the absolute noeossaries of life. and barely a suf- tlrienry of those. Clothing and shoes, . unless the miner was employed 2 more or loss steadily, were refused. } As a result. the clothing problem is almost as great as that of supply- ing food. . . . "Eighty-live per cent. of the peo- ple nlfected are Canadians of pure Scottish stuck. and nothing but the threat. need would persuade people of this type to accept help. They are simply prisoners of fate. \iclims of circumstances over which they have no control.

Neither are they told that numbers of miners own their own automobiles. “There is another matter.” con- tinued Mrs. Fraser. “The miners are not forced to deal in the company’s stores. There is a fine co-operative store there, as well as other retail stores. There is no difl'erence in prices as between the company’s and the retail stores.
