Hon. 3. Ramsay MacDonald, received at Montreal tcday the most enthus- iastic and colorful welcome of his Canadian tour. It began the moment the distinguished visitor stepped down from his private car. "Bona- venture," to the station platform. gay with bunting and bursting with spectators. The first loud cheer had hardly died away. when the killed band of the Royal Highlanders, twenty strong, adjusted their bag- pipes. and struck stirringly into an appropriate highland air, "Cock of the North." with a proud, yet most gracious smile the British Prime Minister stood and accepted this north country tribute, and when they were don. he walked over and shook hands oordi.aily"witl-l the leader, con- gratulating him on his pipsrs’ per- formance.

Difficulties Between
Local Shippers And Stevedores May Af- fect Business' Here If Not Speedily Ad.. justed.
Complaints with respect to delay in loading potato steamers in Char- lottetown during the past few weeks were investigated by s Guardian ze- pxeaentatlve. who was informed by i local shippers that steamship corn- paniee in future will give preference to Georgetown and Bummeraids as loading ports on the ground that the work can be done more expeditiously than in Charlottetown. It is claimed that larger gangs of men are re- quiredheretodothesameworkand that local men demand ten cents more in waded Der hour than the la- borers at Georgetown and Slimmer- side. The following ngures were given thereporterbyalocalshipperofthe quantities loaded at 'the three ports in one day: In Georgetown 4 gangs of 11 mon each in 10 hours loaded 14.890 bags: in Bulnmereide 4 gangs of 1'! msn ea hours loaded 17,190 bags. ottetown 4 lance of 22 in 12 hours loaded 9850 bags and 1 barrels, or less than 11.000_bs.gs. The Charlottetown stevedorec. cn the other hand, complain that load- imfaclliiiesinthisporterlanotas good as those at Btunmerside or Georgetown. Each day during recent
to spend several hours in building. repairing or moving staging." It is also alleged that during the loading of the steamer “.R&.il!1" the ablcst class of laborers was not available, the msn Ning missed in unloading coal and salt sieainers. ,
The maths' is one in which Char-
lottetown is much concerned, and it is hoped that iiie diillcultiea will be settled before the shipping season is further advanced. It has been sug- gested that some outside body. such astheBosrdcf'1‘radeorotheri.n- dependent crganisavion, might inter- vene ad arrange an amicable settle- ment. Ths stevedores of Charlotte- town are an lable and intelligent clasg of men, and if they have grievances which interfere with the eillclent performance of their duties, these grievances should be settled at once.
Another matter complained of by
local shippers is the alleged unreas- onable chnrge made by the Railway for ilhe use of flat cars in loading sieamers at Charlottetown and Georgetown. In order to load the C. B. "R-Aish" at the railway wharf here last week it was necessary to have four fiat cars between the steamer and the warehouse. The Railway charged $21. for shunting these cars down to the steamer and $24 for their hire for four days-in all $45.00.
The steamer "Lisbeifh" loaded a
cargo of 61,400 bags at Georgetown last week for Havana, and the charge was $21.00 for shunting flat cars and $30.00 for their hire. If these eteam- era were the last to be loaded at fllssa ports another charge of $21 would bs made to each steamer for
haulirg the fiat can up the wharf.
It is claimed that this was
not made before the whlrves were taken over by the Department of
Marine and !'1sheries.

Unemployment Ainong 'Canadian Railroad Workers
(Canadian Press)
OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. Zi.-Grave
unemployment now exists a.mon8Si railroad workers of Canada, accord- ing to J. A. P. Haydon, Canadian wrresporldent of Labor, the official publication of the railway labor un- ions. The partial grain crop failure and the tieup caused by the non- mcverncnt of grain is given as the 'direct cause of the situation. The employees engaged in the mainten- -ance of equipment departmnts of the railways are the chief sufferers.
The “MB A118115" shops of the Can-
adian Pacific at Montreal, employ-
ing approximately 5.500 men have been hit hard. and this month only 18 days employment will be afforded these workers, says Mr. Haydon. A five day week has been temporarily inaugurated and in addition the en- tire plant will be closed far five days.
The western shc/ps have also been
hit. Approximately 1,950 men there decided sometime ago to inaugurate a temporary four day week, but an- nouncement is now made that layoffs will also be necessary. Layoffs on the Canadian National have not been so severe, but large numbers of men are nevertheless without employment, the correspondent declares.
The reduction in freight has become
so pronounced that switehmen in the Tormto and other terminals are now without employment, a condition unknown for years.

During Which Canada
Wheat May Be

(Special in The Guardian)
WASHINGTON, Oct, 21
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore? were so. glutted with Canadian wheat as to deprive domestic wheat growsrsi of proper storage faculties, Nye, Republican, secured an
ment to the tariff biil this
which reduces the period which Canada wheat may be in bond from three years to tel: months, He said there were 2300
bushels of this Canada wheat,
was a carry over from the
wheat crop of 1928. He admitted was no Canada wheat in bond at place or Duluth, but said that
elevators at these points were
to capacity, because wheat could
be shipped from them to the crowd
ed elevators at Buffalo and York. This necessitated the western farmer selling his wheat at an satisfactory price. because he could’ not find storage. As a matter of fact_i Dokota and Montana farmers had been selling their wheat in
and psyins the Canada tariff duty.
The debate upon the New Yorki
amendment revived the controversy-
tween the Western farmers and Buffalo miiels and led senator; again to inquire why wheat brought s better price in Canada than in the
United States, and what was the, Ttmtdy. Senator Copeland, Democrat, ’ New York, said there was no remedy'
ers might as well make up thei: minds that they could not compete
the world market with the
wheat growers. The farmer in 'Canadian west, he said, had more .fer- tile land. cheaper labor and iowa. freight rates.
