Definite improvement in regard to unemployment was anticipated this summer when it was i'elt that the effects oi the $20,000,000 unempioy merit relief measure passed at the special session of Parliament would be seen and appreciated.

Senator Robertson pointed out that ever since .the war a large number of Canadian citizens had been attract- ed below the line to take fine posit- ions which were made possible through the prosperity which the United States was enjoying. When depression and its resulting hard- ships had begun to be felt in that country, it was only natural that work should be given first to native citizens, and as a. result many Can- adian were left without jobs. Many of these have made their way back to the Dominion, partly because it was‘ their home, and partly, too Sen- ator Robertson felt, because they had heard that the Federal Government of Canada was planning measures which would take care of all who ere in need of assistance.

Senator Robertson was of the op- inion that these measures were bringing results which would be ap- parent iii thg spring or early sum- mer. Ho said that all the provinces and 1,648 municipaliites in all parts of the ‘Dominion were cooperating with his department in the admin- istration of unemployment relief, and that reports showed that progress was being made all along the line. The Minister of Labor felt that con- ditions would adjust themselves quickly and that there would be plenty of work for all Canadians.

, MONTREAL, Feb. iii-From state- ments made in court yesterday it would appear that all the illicit stills which have “been seized of late in lMontreal were owned and operated by Chicagoans. James Crankshsw, at- . torney for the Dominion Government in the cases brought against the op- erators of the illegal planks asked lJudge Victor Cusson in the Court of !Sessions yesterday to impose stiff |sentcnces upon four men whom His Honor had just previously found lgullty oi the offence of either taper- lating or assisting in the operation of one of these stills. Mr. Crankshaw ‘declared that the four men hailed from Chicago and were members of a large gang of organized bootleggers who seemed to think Montreal was an easy place to get away with their shady business.

Judge Cusson did impose stiffer sentences than have yet been handed _out in these oases. The case before the court was that involving four men who gave the names of S. Pride,

- colored, F. Lambert, L. Kresge and

S. Martin accused oi operating an illicit still at 4410 St. Lawrence boulevard. Pride who signed the lease for the premises was sentenced to one month in jail, from the date of his arrest, $350 and costs, including $143, the cost oi dismantling the plant, or six months in jail.
