At the opening of the morning ses- giqn of the Legislative Assembly on Friday "An Act to further amend the act in incorporate the Telephone company of Prince Edward Island," and "An act to prevent the spread of contagious diseases rig foxes end other animals" were given their flPSt reading. _

Dr. MacMill-en in continuing his speech on the Draft Address‘ casti- gated the government for non-en- forcement of the ‘Prohibition Act, “where are the mounted police" he asked “which were to bring about such a revolution in the enforcement o! the act?"

(From our awn C rrespondent) OTTAWA, Ont., March ZZ-Lalt evening the grain act, discussed for 9W0 days. entered its final and most interesting aspect. The Hon. R. B. Bennett took a spirited hand in the fray and made a strong frontal et- tack upon the government. He openly charged governmental responsibility for the situation which is complained of. The grain board was their cree- tion end they must shoulder the onus of its action.

Particularly did he csstigete the minister, Mr. .Malooim, charging him with failure properly to administer the act. He also interpreted certain criticisms of members as reflecting lack of confidence in that minister. l-Ie suggested a special tribunal oi inquiry and enlarged on the gravity oi the situation returning to the central theme of governmental res- ponsibilltiy. ,

Mr. Dunning took a second hand in the discussion and thought the situa- tion where the promotion of the in- terest of the public should be pare-

ment oi the suggestion that he had ever been behind the grain commis- slon. He took full responsibility for anything he had done and said that charges were not backed up by the three presidents of the pool or their lawyers. whose views had been pres- ented to the government in the past few days. He quoted the justice de- partment as saying that the much abused ticket conformed to the grain act while he welcomed the widest in- quiry into the whole question.

Mr. Stevens afterwards shared in the criticism of his leader as to gov- ernmental responsibility, and at the and of the day the discussion was fin- ished. The whole matter was refer- red to the select committee on agric- ulture and colonisation m: full i..- vestlgatlon.

Just before adjournment the speak- er read the resignation of Louis M. Auger, M.P., thereby forestalllng ex- pulsion. Incidentally, Auger was this afternoon sentenced to nine years in the penitentia y. It la stated that his counsel propose to appeal from the sentence to a higher court.

mount rather than attempting to play party politics. lie recalled no one who had criticised the minister but several who hedeomplimcnted him and he also said that neither dishonesty or inemcioncy but rather lack oi judgement was what was charged against the commission it- self.

Mr. Malcolm spoke in warm resent- lste Marshal Foch, who had passed away only Wednesday, as also to the late Judge Warburton, ell-Prem- ier Bell, John Agnew and Laughlln MacDonald.

He then dealt with the question oi claims and subsidies. He did not think the opposition should clellu too much credit for the $125,000 sub- sidy.

This afternoon after a‘ few prelim- inaries the debate on the budget was renewed. In rdply to a question the prime minister announced that the supplementary estimates would con- tain a vote ln support of the Jack Miner bird sanctuary which from the applause elicited evidently indicated unanimous consent.

The prime minister replying to this leader of the opposition stated that Government legislation to be consid- ered after recess consist/ed oi five bills including one from the Senate. Answering the Hon. 1t. B. Bennett, the Hon. Mr. Robb, Minister oi Fin- ance, as to a trade agreement with Newfoundland, said that about e year ago Sir John Bennett had come to Ottawa from Newfoundland and on behalf of his government had negot- iated a trade agmement. This gave Geneda ram favoured nation treat- ment including the British prefer- once.

It was also arranged that the Can- adian trade and commerce depart- ment would subsidies e steamship mail service. An order-in-councll was put through in Newfoundland and corresponding _leletion given edect to in Canada. Subsequently, however there was some difference of opinion with respect to the various regulations which resulted in no part of the steamship subsidy having been peld. -Thoee dimcultise had all been straigh- tened out recently during Sir Rich- erd Squires’ visit. The house ed- joinmed at six o'clock to meet again on April 4th.

Unless ‘ y _ ‘ are made between the Government. and the executive of the Teachers Federation on or before Thursday, March 28th, the members of the Prince Edward Isle-ad Teachers’ Fed- eration, which includes practically 100 per cent. of the teach of the PU- viuce, will discontinue teaching et the end of the present month, and will not resume their duties until author- ized by the executive. This was the decision arrived at yesterday es a rc- sult of the announcement in the Leg- islature by Premier Saunders on Thursday that the request for ln- creased salaries could not be grant- ed. It ls understood that the Canad- lau Federation of Teachers, with which the Prince Edward Island body ls allied, ls supporting the local fea- chers in their action.

There were no press reporters at yesterday's meeting, which was a strictly private one. The following official report was issued to the press by the Federation executive:

0f""Zal Report

At the lazy and most enthusias- tic meeting < anchors ever held in this Province, cry important busi- ness, relating tc the welfare of the teachers was transacted. v W

The meeting opened at one o'clock in the Prince of Wales College Hall with upwards of five hundred teach- ers in ttendance. After the Presl- dent Mr. C. B. Jelly had outlined the action taken by the Executive since the last annual convention, he called upon Mr .E. J. H. Morrisey, Provin- cial Organizer to give a report of his activities. Mr. Morrisey reported that practically one hundred per cent of the teachers are now members of the Federation, this being by far the highest enrolment of any Provincial organization in Canada._The follow- ing reply from the Premier was then read:

i

March r1, ma‘ Dear Madam,

In pursuance of representations made by a committee of your Feder- ation, the matier of an increase in Teachers’ 'salaries has been discus- sed by the Government. Immediately after these representations were made I communicated with all the Liberal

them to take the matter up with the electors of their respective districts. At the same time, I submitted to them the request of a committee on Public Health, which had also waited on the Government requesting that the, latter assist in the erection and maintenance of a tuberculosis sani- torium.

{may say that out of 183 Women's Institutes in this Province, 11B wrote regarding the lost mentioned met- ter, strongly re mmending the eon- struction of an up-to-date sanitar- ium, owing to the fact that we have at the present moment, in this Pro- vince, about Bl0_ persons suffering from tuberculosisjund about 80 per- sons dying annually from this dread disease. »

The members of the Legislature. after conferring with the electors es requested, and after holding meetings with the people, report that generally speaking the latter feel that they canno efiordto pay increased taxes at t _ time.

The Government, on the other hand finds that present revenue is insuf- ficient to meet present expenditure.

we are at the , time to ecoeed to the request of the School ‘ranchers in this matter.

The Government feels that, in un- dertaking to assist in the construc- tion of a sanltorium. and in contri- buting $12,000.00 annually to its main- tenance. we would be doing all we reasonably could be expected to do with our limited resources.

We really foal that the present is an inopportune time to make your re- quest. The farmers, who are largely the taxpayers of the Province, find it a hardship to pay their present taxes, without any increase, at a time when the market price of potatoes, a cash crop on which they largely de- pend, is fifteen cents a bushel.

The Government has, during the pest year, been making every reason- able effort in the hope of gett‘ _ an increase in subsidy from the licderal Government. At a recent conference in Ottawa, the Prime Minister and the Minister bf Finance agreed to arrange for en accounting between

' theProvixicea and. Canada. at which

time our Province will be enabled to makes. further detailed presentation of oiir claims. This accounting will take place next fall before a. Board of experts. We are hopeful that, after

-this'Board will have submitted its

findings to the Federal Government. we will receive e substantial increase in subsidy at the next session of the Canadian Parliament.

Should we be successful in obtain- ing such increase, this Government will then be prepared to ant to yourrlederation every reaao _ le con- sideration in the matter of increased salaries, on a basis which will have as its object the improvement of our educational requirements generally.

Yours truly, ALBERT C1 SAUNDERS PREMIER Miss Agnes Murnaghan,

The meeting was then thrown open for discussion and the following res- olution was moved by Mr. L. T. Low- ther and seconded by Miss Georgie McLean.

The two statesmen had embraced one another at the entrance to Stres- bourg, but have not mot or spoken since. The war time political leader was expected to depart from hisltra- ditlonai avoidance of public appear- ance oi his unbounded admir- ation for the Marshal.
