Resolution Concerning Boycott _0f German Products Before Trades and Labor Congress.

(By John IABlanc. Canadian PR3; Staff Writer) (C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

HALIFAX, Sept. l7—War and sport joined today with the more» familiar problems of trade union- ism before the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada's annual con- vention to make it a day of diversi- fied activity.

Arid the net result was that the 200 representatives of coast-to- coast labor covered ground almost as varied as the trades they speak for. There was talk of national housing, old age pensions, refor- estation, minimum wages, re-em- ployment of pensioned workers, Nazi "persecution." the possibility of war in Ethiopia.

Prime Minister At Lethbridge

(C. P. By Guardian's Special win) _ LETHBRIDGE, Sept. 1'1. - Ad. dressing a rally called by the sup- porters of Gen. J. S. Stewart, Con- servative csndidate for Iethbridge, Prime Minister Bennett tonight mid the people of Alberta something of the government's treatment of ihc coal indsutry and its wheat and trading policies. C ‘ his westward campaign Mr. Bennett ar- rived in Lethbridge this evening, and hurried at once to the meeting which had been in progress for half an hour.

Several times during the all-day train ioumey from Regina Mr. Ben- nett ieft his car to greet people on station platforms. He spent 46 min- utes at Medicine Hal», shaking hands with those who gathered around his car, and delivered an impromptu speech to a group of school child- ren, and their elders. ~

Recounting the progress of gnv- ernmental and legislative action during the last five years. Mr. Ben- nett toid his Lethbridge audience particularly of the proposed econo- mic council inquiry into the question of fuel and energy commodities, and of the increase in Canada coal movements from 114.000 tons in i020 to 2,314,000 tons in i034. This he said had been effected through the efforts oi the government to assist

A Dominion-wide housing scheme was held to be another necessity, and the federal government was urged to get one in operation. Em- ployment would be relieved greatly, money would be loosed in the prov- inces. and slum areas would be cleared away,

Reforestation of Canada's deplet- ed timberlands was a third pro- posal plaoed before governments- Neglect to undertake this work, be- sides being a failure to help the Jobless, would be “disastrous" for the future.

War clouds cast their shadow over the convention early in ilic day when a resolution was intro- duced by Jack Bruce of Toronto

advocating a “general strike" against the _manufacturc of all commodities destined for belliger-

ents in the event of an ltnlo-Ethi- opian war. Efforts of the "war- mongers" to draw Canada into conflict, thiresolution urged, must

At Morell. Dr. A.A. MacDonald Made Seriou_s_Appeal.

A strong appeal urging the elec- tors not to be stampecled by crit- icism based on the depression was voiced by Dr. A. A. MacDonald at the Joint meeting held at Morell last evening. The tone of the meet- ing indioated that the pendulum has swung far since the latter part of July. i

Dr. Thomas Giant, Liberal can- didate, was again severely repri- manded for making unsubstantiated statements. Although he assiduous- ly avoided reference to several of the errors he made at Cherry Hill his new bluffs were quickly called. Both Dr. MacDonald and Senator MacDonald brought him to task and gave him a severe csstlgation. His statement that Premier Ben- nett had ordered the banks to cease paying the ~people money was dismissed. as being unworthy of direct answer by Senator Mac- Donald, who merely rnade con- temptuous reference to it. At one point Dr. Grant found himself at variance with Premier Gardiner, who at Montague refused to place responsibility for depression on the Government.

Dr. Grant, the first speaker, said the last election he had been run- ning against, a Minister of Fish- eries. "That was how Hon. J. A. MacDonald defeated me in i930."

He told a story about a poor fei- iow in Boston.

“He almost had me persuaded that I was a liar. He has had so little practice he cannot call a man

a liar without insulting him," said

Dr. Grant with reference to the drubbing he had received at Cherry Hill at the hands of Senator Mac- Donald.

Premier Bennett had given the C.P.R. a letter of credit in order that the banks should give it 60 million dollars in order to put the people's railway out of business, the speaker asserted.

The Premier had been postpon- ing the ‘election from month. to month in hopes that a war would break out and he would have a chance to keep in power longer.

Nine Persons D e a d And -Many Injured In 100 Mile Gale — Channel Crossing Is Cancelled.

(By Albert W. Wilson) (Associated Press Staff Writer) (A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire) LONDON, Sept. 1'1—Most of the British Isles and northern France were slowly recovering tonight

from the effects of the fiercest storm they have experienced in years.

At least seven per: ons were known dead. Many others were in- lured. The sinfln. which reached a. wind velocity of 100 ‘miles- per hour in some sections, abated, but enormous seas were still tossing ships on the Atlantic and the ehan- nel. Tremendous waves continued to lash the coastline.

Two more fatalities were reported tonight. One member of the crew was lost when the Dutch motor vessel Kalba, bound for Antwerp, was abandoned and later grounded off Domburg. A child was drowned in flood waters in north Scotland.

London and Paris were strewn with wreckage. Thousands of in- habitants of the two capitals spent a disturbed night as tiles and chim- ney pots clattered to the streets.

Coastal Cities Hard Ilit

British coastal cities were the hardest hit but Bantry. a south- west Irish trrwn, was reported un- der water while Bowogne, Cher- bourg and other French ports were badly battered.

Twice tonight the Bembridge coast guard received S03 signals from what was believed to be a small boat but both times com- munication wss cut off before its position could be ascertained. _

The cargo freighter Brampton Manor, whose Captain. I-I. Turner, was washed overboard and drowned was making slow progress as i0 was being towed to rut mouth. The steamer Mary Kingsley. whose ventilators were carried away, also was having trouble making haven at Falmcuth.

Scores of smell boats were swept from their moorings and sunk in

GENEVA, Sept- I7—(C. P.-A. r.) —I-Iopes for an eventual solution of the Italo-Ethiopian quarrel were somewhat brighter tonight. The League of‘ Nations‘ five-power peace committee will submit a peiwe plan to both disputants to- morrow. The Italian delegation in- dicated a willingness in negotiate for a. settlement.

A spokesman for the Rome dele- gation told the Associated Press that if the League council's report on the question is “reasonable" Italy will make it the basis o! negotiations.

However, it was reliably reported Baron Pompeo Alcisi of Italy had informed Premier Laval of France that if the committee submits l1 report embodying a “last word" of- fer which Italy must accept or re- ject, Italy will reply by withdraw- ing her delegates from the Leasue.

It was recalled the Italian cab- inet meets again tomorrow.

points: It will meet a request from the African kingdom for foreign assistance in economic and finan- ciai development and will provide means for meeting any threat to the security of foreigners in Ethi- opia and Italian colonists 0n ll-S borders.
