ilisclalm Any Connection in llita. Strike A

Sitting in semi-annual session in Charlottetown, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, rep- resentative of organized agricul- ture across Canada, issued n pub- lic statement yesterday making it emphatically clear that it had no official connection with, nor had it endorsed in any way, the course of action of the Alberta Farmers’ Union in calling for a producers’ strike to enforce certain demands upon the Federal Government.

In the first place, said the state- ment, the Canadlan Federation was not in a position to deal with, or support the action although it had been requested to do so. for the reason that the provincial member body concerned, the Al- berta. Federation of Agriculture, had enither endorsed nor recom- mended the strike action of the Alberta farmers union, an affiliate group of the Alberta Federation.

The statement also pointed out that 0n two separate occasions earlier this year the federation had requested the Federal Government to name a commission for the study of the relationshi of the major groups of the nat on with respect to the division of national income with the objective of attaining a es between these major groups, namely, Agrl. culture, Labor and Industry. The first occasion was the annual pre- sentation of the Federation to the Dominion Cabinet on March 28, and the second occasion was a written recommendation to the chairman of the industrial rela-

wtlonscommittoe of the House of

Commons. early in August. that the house committee ask the Gov- ernment to name such a commis- sion.

Although no such commission has been named. the Canadian Federation has been assured that preliminary research work has been under way for some months Pfirllclllflfly with respect to agri- cultural prices.

As opposed to strike action, the directors of the Federation in Charlottetown today declare their decision to remain consist t with the Federation's own policy of achieving objectives through nego- tiation and consultation with gov- ernment authorities.

Church's Policy 0n Women Workers is

Scored At Synod

WINNIPEG. Sept. 9 - (CPi-A special commission on ernploy~ ment of its women workers was set up today by the General Synod of the Church of England in Can- ada, following crltciism by dale gates who branded treatment of women church workers aa "dis- graceful" and "backward."

R. H. Seward of Toronto also moved that the pension commit- tee of the Synod study the rov- islon of adequate retiring nlew- ances for deaccnesses.

Criticism of the church's policy on women workers followed the reading of an excerpt from the executive report which rat-om- mended that until “sufficient post-

tions are made available in the.’ church, with adequate living arrangements, and provision for

old age. . . the committee on em- ployment of trained women work- ers in the church be discontinued." Mrs. R. E. Wodehouse of Ottawa said the treatment of women who devoted their lives to the cause was "a disgrace to our church." A report by the Synod’: com- mitten on religious education brought a resolution from the floor of the meeting commending

Traces Legion History

General Price traced the history of the Canadian Legion smd cor.- trasted the position of the veteran returning from this war with that of those who fought in the first World War.

"The favorable position of the former." said the General "is clue. at least in some part to tne fact that there is a strong ox-servicc body with years of experience in dealing with the problem of ex service men and having the confi- dence of the government a-rd the rnatlon io fight their battles where necessary, and be their guide. philosopher and friend."

Pointing out that until 11:25 the returned mien of the first Great War were disunlted and in tons»- $281169 suffered. the Legion since t an, through such mcn as Earl Halg and General Alex Ross, made steady progress and did much to ameliorate the lot o,f the vt-teren _ln the "hungry hlrties.’ it began to develop into a great national or- ganization and in times of crisfi; interpreted the conscience of the nation and the government of the

The Dominion President empha- sized that the Legion stood f0!‘ loyalty to the reigning sovereign. to Canada and the British Empire. The maizn-tenanca of the bundation principles of the British Empire, a united spirit and for ordered gov- ernment.

“Finally? she General concluded, “the Legion stands for a. strong am united comradeslup among all those who have served in H‘: Ma- jesty's forces throughout the Em- pire, so that neither their rights nor their interests shall .e gotten, and so that their welfare and that of their dependents. pecialiy the dependents of the dis- abled, sick, aged and ncedv. may be safeguarded." "

Lieut-Govemos- J. A. Bernard in .his reply to the toast to the British Empire said the Prince Ediwoh‘! Island veterans had made a worthy contribution in the last two world wars toward defending and main- taining the "principles of justice and freedom. The Bri iah Empire sti had a world pomtion to fill and an import-ant. place at bhe council table of the wor d's great nations. It was the veterans who had made her predominant position possible and he assured them the people oi’ the Province would always be grateful for their heroic efforts.

Premier J. Walter Jones told the ILegionaires that the people of Prince Edward Island deserved the same services as the other Prov- inces of Canada and that he still had hopes of the Province getting three million dollars from the Dominion Government instead of the two million rt had already been offered. “And even if we don't get what we are asking for. the two million, added t) the revenue we are obtaining from the sale of liquor should go a long way toward putting this Province on a better sconomic level," the Premier said,

The Hon. W. J. P. MacMiilan, O.B-E., paid a tribute to the fight- ing qualities of the Island Leg- ionaires and to the great work done by the women of the Prov-

ince during the war years. l-Ie criticized the Premier for not having made provisions three

years ago so that the Island fight- ing men overseas might have been able to vote. “Prince Edward Island was the only Province in Canada which rlld not allow its men over- seas to vote," Dr. MacMiilan said,
