'Associated Boards Of Trade.
Among resoldaions passed at the
annual meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade yesterday afternoon was one urging that the accounting for the car ferry service be com- pletely eliminated from the Canad- iisn National Railway accounts, and that any deficit on the operation of the ferry be charged against the consolidated revenuesof Canada.
The meetin8. which was held in
the Board of Trade Rooms, follow- ing an executive meeting in the morning, had a rather small at- tendance due to the inclement weather which prevented many del- egates from various parts of the Province from attending. The Pres- ident, Mr. S. A. McDonald, pre- sided.
The report of the nominating
committee was adopted as follows:
President, S. A. McDonald; Vice-
President. Prince, C. R.. Rogers;
| Vice-President, Kings, W. L_ Poole; Secretary Treasurer, Lt. Col. G. E. Full. _
Executive
Prince County:-J. B. Myrick, A.

Kings County:-L. H. McKinnon,
H. H. Acorn, Major C. C. Thompson.
Queens County:-H. F. McPhee.
J. P. Crockett, C. E. McKenzie.
A very comprehensive address
was delivered by. Mr. S. A. McDon- aid, outlining the work of the As- sociated Boards.
The adoption of“lthe Presidents
address was moved by Mr. C. R. R/ogers, Summerside, and seconded by Mr. C. E. McKenzie, Milton. Mr. McDonald was congratulated,on the
,excellence of his address.
Following were the resolutions:
ALL YEAR. PULLMAN SERVICE whereas it is the settled 'Policy
of the Canadian National to afford to its patrons the most comfortable forms of converyance on its lines.
And whereas s good proportion of
travellers by railway from thi! Province are persons going to Qlle- bec, Montreal, Toronto and other points west.
And whereas the Canadian Na-
tional Hotel in Chariiottewwn is attracting a better class gf visitors to this Provincg who are in tho habit of travelling by pullman car. ' And whereas the pullman car service to Prince Edward Island is now in operation during the .sum- mer months only, thus for eight months oi the year depriving Nth those coming and .leaving the Prov- ince oi this form of travelling com- fort and frequently subjecting sick persons going or coming from tho hospitals in Montreal or other large cities to much inconvenience and ‘hai-dship.
'Therefore resolved that in the
opinion of this Convention of the Associated Bolrdsof Trade of this Province. _ the time has arrived when in its interests and in the interest of the travelling public, the Canadian National Railway should continue the pullman service to Prince Edward Island the whole year round.

iciiiaaisn rmsy _
MONTREAL, Que., Aug. 25.-Six
large industrial firms of the British Isles are seriously considering the establishment of branch factories in the Dominion during the course of the coming year, F. W. Field, His Majesty‘s Trade Commissioner, told members of a service club today. during the course of an address of the _industrial situation in Great Britain and British Empire trade conditions generally.
After briefly referring to his con-
ferences with the heads of 700 firms interested in Canadian trade, Mr. Field stated that last fall and win- fer he had induced seventy-nine responsible directors and other, of- ficials of as many British manufac- turing and merchant firms to come to Canada to look over the ground. Some of these had since opened plants, he pointed out, several in Montreal, and others were coming. Six firms, he said were at the pre- sent time very seriously considering opening branch factories in Canada by next year. V
