OTTAWA. May 4—A out in dir. ect relief grants to the province; was indicated in the House or C°‘“m°“5 Wnlkht when a vote of 33000-000 WM. passed for that purpose
At the end of March the Domin. ion was contributing 32,305,235 ., month to the provinces or 831,275,. 430 5 year. The $20,000,000 passed today would not be sufficient to meet the same monthly grants.
This appropriation. which lep- Nsente a further out to the is per cent put into effect April 1, can be increased by a supplementary vote. The figure, however, indicate; the government's hope seasonal work will decrease the number on relief rolls.
In December, I‘ ' ' grants were increased 76 per cent for the winter months and then. at the and of March. decreased 15 per cent. If calculated at the rates applying before the 75 per cent in- crease went into effect. the 020.- 000.000 would be sufficient to meet the annual bill with 05.000900 in spare. In the fiscal year 1034-86, the Dominion‘s contributions to the provinces totalled 319,211,000.
There is nothing to prevent the government from passing a sup- plementary vote to the 336,000,000, either at this session or the next but unless that is done. there will not be enough money to continue direct relief grants at their pre- sent levels.

Prince Edward Island's railway transportation problems were dis- cussed last night at e meetin of the council of the Charlotte wn Board of Trade with Lt.-Col. C. C. Stibbard. chief operating official of the Board of Railway Commission- e.rs, and Mr. D. G. Kilburn also of the Board of Commissioners.
The railway commissioners are here making a study of train ser- vice conditions prevailing in the Province.
A resolution passed at a previous meeting of the Board of Trade “re- questing efficient service which will fulfill the terms of the Confedera- tion agreement” and “that the de- partment of railways implement in full the recommendations of the Duncan commission" wu read at last night's meeting.
Mr. R. E. Bell, vice-president of the Board of Trade, who presided pointed out that the Board wished to bring to the attention of the comrniasioners two things, first, the slowness of the service throughout the province and the poor road bed and equipment.
Mr. R. L. Cotton in a short ad- dress told of the service an the Moncton - Charlottetown line, The IVOYIBB EDEN. he pointed out, was 19.08 miles per hour. That was the Speed eduetin the amount of time lost in crossing on the car ferry and at the piers on both sides. Pullman service was provided only 04 days out of the year and there were no trains on the service for 52 days in “Ch Year. were other points he brought out.

Government Measure To Create Employ- ment Draws Criti- cism From All Sides.

0l'l'l‘AWA, May 4-Extensive sub- sidies for industry were proposed in the House of commons tonight by Hon. H. H. Stevens. Recon- structionist leader, as $3,100,000 was voted to provide for employment. of relief camp workers on railway maintenance work during the sum- mer.
Mr. Stevens asserted and Hon. 0. D. Howe, minister of railways, de- nied, the vote was a straight sub- sldy to the railway companies. The government was providing the labor for work on the roadways which was long overdue and ab- solutely essential.
li railways were to be subsidized why not other industries? asked Mr. Stevens. He believed the move was a good one and should be ex- tended. Industries should be sub- sidized to enable them in modem- ine their plants and re-employ men who had been laid off.
The vote drew criticism from all quarters of the House as members objected to giving assistance to the Osnadian Pacific Railway. to the temporary character of the work and to its possible effect on reg-
flgarpilway workers.
