1 Harvest Labor

HON. PETER IIEENAN DEFENDS MOVEMENT 0F BRITISH MIN- ERS TO CANADA FOB HAR- VEST LABOR.

(Canadian Press)

TORONTO. Sept. l3.-—Addressing the Dominion _'I‘rades and Labor Congress todayilon. Peter Heenan. Minister oi Labor in the Dominion government. declared that a persis- tent campaign is being carried on in Great Britain to stampede the dominion government to bring over British unemployed by the ship- load.

"This is being carried on for two purposes." the minister said. "One is to meet a political need on the other ‘side and the other is to pro- vide ten men for every job that is available in this country."

As an instance Mr. Keenan stat- Cd Chill radvcr 188111811‘ WCIE being published in England to the effect that ~coal miners were wanted in Nova Scotia at higher rates of wag- es. when as a matter oi fact, there were many miners already out of work in that province.

"It‘s a damnable lie.“ declared Mr. Heenan “to say that the British un- employed don't want to work and that they are content to subsist on the doles. They want to work and so far the reports of lots of work and high wages are eagerly receiv- ed."

"Canada ougt to have something to say to this.“ he continued. “Can- ada ought to be past the stage where we can't take up a paper and read calmly that the British magis- trate has allowed a man convicted of crime to go on suspended sent- ence if he migrates to Canada."

The Labor minister defended the movement of British miners to Canada for harvest labor. and poin- ted out that it was separate from the immigration policy generally. The government was informed. he said. that 75.000 harvesters would be required to take off the crop and on making enquiries from the provin- cial governments as io the number oi men likely to be found in Can- ada was told that owing to the in- crease in employment the number who would take the excursions would be much smaller than usual.

“We knew we could get men in other parts oi the world." he said. "but the British government offer- ed us 25.000 men. nLCUStOIIIEG to hard manual labor. and why should we turn rlown our own flesh and blood?" - "We placed the responsibility on the British government and limited the number we could accept to 10.- 000. We are prepared to stand by these men and see that they are looked after."

Plot to Wreck Spanish Govt. ls Thwarted

Primo de Rivera At Bottom Of Trouble. 2,000 Arrests Made Throughout Spain.

BOHDEAUX, France. Sept. l3.- Overthrow of the Spanish Govem- ment and the arrest of all its high officials for immediate trial and prompt deportation. were the avow- ed aims oi the plot against the rule of Prirno de Rivera. according to news trickling across the Spanish frontier.

this border city. was thwarted by the .dictator’s police. The police appear proud of the success~ oi their coupe. and have given out considerable information respecting it.

The newspaper states that the frontier towns oi Hendaye and Bayonne have heard that nearly 2.- 000 arrests have been made in dif- ferent parts of Spain. The prison- ers are said to include all the lead- ing plotters and it is added that the Archbishop of Sargossa. the Rev. Vidal Y. Veraguer. has been invited to retire to a convent in order to save himself from going to prison.

Taking advantage of the absence in Sweden of King Alfonso. the police says that the Spanish Liber- al and Republican elements. toge- ther with Communists. decided to strike a blow which had been sche- duled for later in the autumn. Martinez Anido. Minister of the Interior. got wind oi the plot early Tuesday and immediately conferred with police officials.

They drew up a list oi persons to be arrested.

Taxis scoured Madrid throughout the early hours of Tuesday and more than a score of arrests were made in the capital. including Al- exander Lerroux. leader of the Lib- cral Republican Party.

In Barcelona. Barrio Verro. a for- mer deputy. headed the lists of prisoners. Several newspaper men. ofificlals of some lodges of Free Mas- onry and the president oi the local branch of the League oi the Rights of Men were also taken into custody there.
