RULED OUT OF ORDER.

E. J. Garland run into the rules o1’ the House when movilnu an amendment to make the scheme non-contributory, absolving workers from weekly payments. It was rul- ed out of order by Speaker James Bowman when objections were tsk- en by Sir George Parley, acting head of the government, and R-ail- way Mixiister R. J. Manion.

'I’he Liberal leaders statement was his first general reply to the government's reform legislation and, from n political viewpoint, was con- sidered one ‘of the highlights of the session. Mr. King said the Liberals believed the insurance, eight-hour day and minimum wage bills could not be passed by Parliament with- out amendments to the British North America Act or agreements with the provinces. '

CHALLENGES JURISDICTION

“We still believe," continued the statement, “that in a. matter of such importance, the best method of re- lieving uncertainty (over constitu- tional issues), of avoiding unneces- sary disturbance o1 businew. and of determining jurisdiction in record- ance with our national traditions, is by taking an advisory opinion from the Supreme Court or by a constit- utional amendment (to the B. N. A. Act). The government must as- sume sole responsibility for adopt- ing a more arbitrary and more un- certain procedure.

“The Liberal party." the leader declared, “approves the principle of the social legislation thus for intro- duced and desires to see it in opera- tion. We refuse to be manoeuvred into a. position of opposition to this legislation. We refuse, also, by vot- ing against the legislation, to raise directly an election issue of provin- cisl rights."

If Liberal members voted against the reform legislation bccuizse of constitutional beliefs, Mr, King said. they would be misrepresented as op- posing sociztl legislation. This was

‘ not true, considering the past his-

tory oi the party, both in office and opposition.
