"Alvlrdd by Hon. W. M. Lea and

ion. W. Crosby at a Liberal convention in Murray River. The ‘speeches are a rehash of speech- ql inflate same gentlemen in Sum- niorsidb some days previously and with slight variations. a rehash of many Iiniiiar ones beard on the floor as the legislature during tut- iast three sessions. The burden of the‘; speeches was the incapa- city of “the former government and tho ttverwbeiming, courag:

masterful. ons conduct of the Bell as ("Elli .n in doing what It did. To give a me idea of the speeches we quflte the following from the

speech’! of the Honourable W. M. l

Lea. .. "Wetail know in what condition our public schools. our FUatlS and bridges‘ and our agricultural con- ditions\were at that time“ and hovt heipiesp the CODaeFVHIlVQ govern- ment was in introducing any their lures to remedy this cnndltiflli." = Thlslia a new line of argument. Heretofore when confronted, with their broken pro-election prom“. ea they claimed that they did not know the “depiorabie" condition of. the finances oi the province that they did not know howf utter- ly incapable the previous govern- ihellt was until they came into power. Now. on the eve of the clec tion Mr. Lea says, “we fall know" in what condition all the public affairs of the province were in. He admits they knew how inade- quately the teachers were paid. that they all knew bow the roads and bridges were neglected and that they’ knew wbtat the revenue of the province amounted to and in the face of all this knowledge they deliberately told the electors they would, if elected, reduce taxs tion, dismiss useless Officials arm economize in every possible way. Well, they were elected and one of their first acts on coming into

power was to plunge headlong in}

to thof“empty treasury" and putt out a double salary for themsei vu. And in their hllaplous oy over the power pinpoyftp trig hands they quadrupled the taxes. they had promised to reduce. The Honourable Walter M. Lea ‘fllpillefthe beans" when he laid claim to knowing too‘ much, An admission of ignorance would htivi- the ‘gituation and more liable to be be- lieved by the people. Everyoni- lfnowa Mr. Leo's explanations of the taxes and it ls not worth While wasting any space over it, Tihe people ‘know. all about 1t and will not lose sight ofzdhé one bi,; issue before them at tbewforth- coming bye-elections“ namely, whether a government; which at tained =to power by ‘flagrantly

LAWLESS STRIKES

While the law recognizes

the right of workers to strike, it is an indictable offence for strikers to interfere with others who wish to work. in most of the mines in the disaffected district, firemen, gineers and pumpmen. whose du-

BH-

ties are merely protective, have withdrawn from their posts, con- tiary to the policy of the United "Ming Workers’ organization, ciintrary to tihe course pursued bv the striking miners of the United States during the past foul‘ and l half months. This action is foolish and vicious, and has, been rebuk-

ed by President Lewis, interns-- tional President of the U. M. W.

in a telegram to Mr. Baxter. But attempted intimidation of volun-

teer putnpinen and protective workers, and interference with

them in their efforts to keen ""- minoa from flooding, are worse than foolish. They are statutory offences, punishable by heavy pen slties. Any strike which ta initiat- ed by ilawlsssnou is ion before it has wall- bttsltnf-"Gydnay Post. i-Q-ék-v
