Petition Inilorsed by Citizens

To supplement this letter I. large petition was circulated throughout Prince Edward Island. and I should ilk-e to read part o1’ ll; to show how it supports the letter written by the crew. It is addressed to Hon. P. J. Cardin, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, at Ottawa. and also to members representing Prince Edward Island, and reads as follows:

We, the public and supporters of the Liberal party in the province o! Prince Edward Island, are con- versant with the tacts as contained in the enclosed letter from the crew of the S. S_ Amla, ex C. G. S. Brant, and we consider their re- quest only {air and just before our members, to be paid their wages from these bonds.

Wages Unpaid

'I‘hese are the claims totalling $3365, by the men against the ship and against tho owner personally or iunder his firm name of the Interna- ltlonsl Fresh Fish Corporation, Llin- lted. After the crew had worked for a month naturally they asked for their‘ wagas. Mr. Nordin told them that the government had not. yet. sent his subsidy, but in s. few days he would receive it and. they would be paid their wages- Time went on without the men receiving anything and they became anxious, and fin- ally, through thelr solicitor, they ap-

eries and was granted a subsidy of- $LB00 (eighteen hundred dollars) De month, which induced the crew to hire with the above company, and also induced the merchants oi Charlottetown, to supply her with fittings. to prepare the ship for her wcrk- We are also informed that the company gave bonds, for the faithful performance oi’ the con- tract. which among other things were to protect the fishermen.

The company never functioned. and we ask you in the name of our king and country, that these bonds should be used, or as much oi them as’ possible, toward paying those poor men.

We would respectfully request. you to give this petition your most. favourable consideration. so that. the crew, who have completely lost. their summer, through the failure of 0. W. Nordin. Some of these men have served their King and country for over three years. _

A labourer is worthy of his hire and their wages should be paid.

You will note that. according to this letter no information was to he divulged at. that time.

Mr» AHEARN: Pardon me. but was the letter marked personal?

Mr. McLURE: No, 1t was not. As election day drew near, another let.- tcr was written, under the date ot May 12, 1930, this time to the engin- eer o1 the boat. This letter reads:

Ottawa. May 12th, 1930 Mr. Lemuel Winchester, Charlottetown. PJEJ. Dear Mr. Wlnchmter:

I received your letter and may any in reply, that the minister has given‘ me the assurance that, it. will be attended to and that provision will be made for same in the esti- mates. .

I trust that. things will work out satisfactorily and that all the men employed on the boat will be

paid Yours truly, A. E. MscLean.

I wish to place on record another li-Lier to show that these men on the Ainla were being assured from time

Regarding pay for the work Amla, may say that I have receiv- ed a letter stating the mixilster had issued instructions to have cheques issued. i

If you do not receive yours in the course of a day or s0. kindly let me know, and I W111 again take the

That was just, prior to the election and would therefore be a nice letter for the crew to receive.

Mr. MacLEAN: Why pick out A. E. MacL-eaxrs? Read the others.

Mr. McLURE: If the hon. member will wait I will read some more of his. An hon_ MEMBER: Read them all.

Mr. McLURE: It, would take a. cou- ple of days to read them all.

Mr. McLEAN: We support every one of them.

Mr. MiwLEAN: I did not say they were Lwued. Mr. McLURE: Here is another lot-

I acknowledge your letter o! May 22nd and- can only repeat what I said before, that this claim would be paid.

The Justice department has now given a. decision that the bond which Nordln ‘tarnished can be col. lected on and theyuire now going niltr the guarantee company, but apart from all that, even if it ls not cnllectable, the amount will be paid. Our friends must understand, however, that. a vote must; be put through the house, otherwise the Auditor General will not certify

Letter To .\ir. Cardin Dear Captain. Burke:

l received the information today from the Minister of Marine and Fisheries that. lie will endeavour to arrange to ‘have your claims ad- lustcd, and I suppose he will have to put this in the supplementary estimates. and until those are through it would not be safe to give out any information.

However. I though it well to let you know that the minister's in- tentions are good and that he will do his best on your behalf.
