Mr." Boil said this was an imppr. tant plank in the Liberal platform last December, and he trusted that the Government would see that the project was pushed along at an early date.

There will. he predicted, be new for employment in Charlottetown within the next twd‘ or three years. The Government should have a programme ready in take up tne employment slack which i_s bound to come

“D Conduct"

He assured the Opposition mem. bars that concern for democracy and individual freedom was not confined to that side of the House. "We on the Government side are equally concerned to‘ see that proper democratic conduct is ob- served at all times." he said.- The junior member for Chu- lottetoiwn (Mr. D. L. Mathieson), had told “part of the story" with regard to the packing plant inci- dent. At the time of the strike, he emphasized, hog marketing was 1118i beslnning to get heavy. llfi this Province the hog industry had made tremendous development since the early days of the war. and a tieup at the only packing plant in the Province was a very serious affair to Island producers. The Government felt-that any action they could take to assist m getting the plant back into pro- duction would be beneficial. It was certainly an emergency. as thous- ands cf hogs were getting over- weight while the strike was ‘a progress. "We had the plant fa- cilities sufficient to care for them. but we had no one, apparently who was willing among the em- ployees on strike to go to WYIPA and clean up a bad situation."

it was "no hasty action" which the Government took in the cir- cumstances. Mr. Large said. They called a conference of representa- tives of the company and this Un- ion. and felt that they were meet- ing with some success. An order- in-council was passed on Sept. 2.).‘ guaranteeing a bonus of b0 cents per hog if the workers returned to their jobs immediately.

"It has been suggested that when you go to find all order-in- cnuncil and look in the Royal Gazette and can't find it, some- thing must be wrong," Mr. Large said. "The Executive Council meets usually every Thursday. and as a result a great: many ord- ers-in-council are passed. Those orders-inveouncii which are pass- ed and which require publicity in the Royal Gazette for validity. are published at the order of the Provincial Secretary on the Satur- day following the Executive Coun- cil meeting. but ‘ltilb orders-in- council which are passed and which are not considered to be u.’ public interest. are not publisher; in the Royal Gazette at all. They are on record when required" This was the case with the order- in-council to which he referred. At the time this order was passed, the Government had every confidence that. the men would accept the Government's prppossi Mr. Large said. They iiad firs‘. asked for an increase of 17 cents an hour. "but when the Govern- ment made this magnificent offer of a bonus they came back wit: word from Toronto that they wanted 32 cents an hour.

"The result of the strike was bu threaten disruption of the whole provincial economy. The emer-

Mr. Large read the order-in- council, which referred to the prolonged strike as having caused sn "extreme emergency" so far as the primary producers of hogs and pork products in the Prov- ince were concerned. 1t reviewed Government efforts to effect 1i settlement, expressed belief that the workers would accept em- ployment from the Provincial Government in the circumstances. declared the plant and facilities to be taken over temporarily for operation by His Majesty in the. right of the Province. and ap- pointed Hon. Horace Wright in be the minister responsible for the care. control and management oi the plsnt while so operated.

At this time, Mr. Large‘ said, various assurances had been giver. that the strike would be of short duration.

He then cited the Agricul- tural Products Marketing Act, i940, above quoted. adding; "l can assure this House that the Government has no intention of defying the law, and hon. mem- bers need not fear that the Gov- ernment at any time in the future will attempt to make or unmalu. laws by orders-in-oouncil."

Mr. Large said he did not pro- pose to review the work of V-us Department extensively at. tnls time, as he would have an op- portunity cf doing so in the Bun get debate. There had been 50m’. criticism of his Department with respect tc exceeding its esti mates by almost $30,000 over the previous year. Mr. Large cited 1941 expenditures in this connection. comparing them with 1946-47. There had been an increase owmi; to employment of more R.C.M.F.. also a $6,000 increase in the ex penditure for jails which actually came under the administration if the Department of Public WOT“- A considerable part of the in- crease in Prohibition administra- tion. he said, had gone to provide salaries to a number of war vcu-

"While the Leglslativepower is supreme in these matters," Mr. Large said, "the actual adminis- tration is carried on by the llx- ecutive Council which is respon- sible to this Provinfiai Plrliament, and through this Parliament to the people.
