sion was the result of a letter read by Mr. Roop, which he has receivod from a produce importing firm in Boston, Mass. The le‘for stated, among other things, that at a recent meeting of the National League of Commission Merchants it was felt that now was the time to press claims at both Washing- ton and Ottawa to have Prince Ed- ward Island products included on the list on which duty is to be reduced.

A letter was read from the Can- adian Chamber of Commerce re the unemployment situation. The suggestion made by the Canadian Chamber is that the different trade boards support a recom- mendation to Ottawa that the two separate funds, unemployment re- lief and unemployment insurance, be handled by one commission. After a short discussion the matter was referred to a committee cun- sistirig of Messrs. A. W. Hyndhian, J. J. Morris, R. EuMutch, F. W. Hyndman and R. L. Cotton to study and report at a later meet- ing.

The coming visit of Mr. Rand Matheson, Mmager of the ‘Frans- portation Commission, located at Moncton, was discussed. He will arrive in Charlottetown tonight and on Thursday will meet with and hear any transportation prob- lems that individuals may have to discuss. On 1 ursday night he will speak on the broader aspects of his work at a meeting in the Board of Trade Rooms,
