U. S. PRODUCERS ALARMED AT LOSQING GOOD BUSINESS

TORONTO. March 3.—The Can- adian Rffcon-struction Association, in a statement issued tonight says: “Alarmed at the prospect of los- ing many proﬁtable Canadian ac- counts an increasing number of

clients are offering to accept psy- ment in Canadian currency. Can- adian buyers should clearly under-

ported goods, even if Canadian money is accepted at par; help to pile up a balance of trade against this country and to increase the discount on our money. In reality. the offer of the foreign sellers means either that they are quoting higher price; to Canadian purchas- ers to cover the loss on exchange, or they are practicing a form of dumping. by selling to Canada in Canadian Currency at the same nominal price as they charge Unit- ed IStates customers who pay in United States funds. Canadian buy- ers who may be tempted to take advantage of such offers, instead of purchasing in Canada should be mindful that they are either pay- ing the ox-higher quotations. or else they are rtners in the dump- ing of United tats; goods into this market at prices below the selling prices in the United States.

In the second period neither side scored although Houghton of Sum- mersidc scored a goal, but one of the spectators blew a whistle and the Alhcrion men mistaking it for the end of the period stopped play- ing, so the score was not counted. The third period the score was 4 to 2 in favor of Alberton, making it an even score of 5 all.

The Crystals’ defence held their ground against repeated attacks of Kali. the Alberton star, who tried in vain to annihilate the Crystal defence, Murphy. of \Summerside made n. brilliant play while making a clean rush from hisown goal and scored No. ,3 goal for Surnmerslde. The Crystal forwards were well supported by the clever stick hand- ling and swift skating of Houghton and Siiiiphant, who by the way scored three of Summersideb goals Although only quiic a young chap, Silliphant will in n short time be- come one of the Island's champion stick handlers, The Crystals are loud in their prsisu of the way the Alberton boys treated them both on the ice and after the game. Mr. Gordon Arbing says this game was the fastest and cleanest game he has witnessed this season either senior or intermediate and when Mr. Arning makes a statementoi this kind we can bank on it as be- ing official. . --————<-o->—--

No stronger indication of this can be found than his silence respecting the salaries of- the Commissioners of Agricul- .ture and Public Works. in my last

letter I referred to the duties of lthe Attorney General and the in-

‘ not materially interfere with tho pro ' secution of his regular law practice. In fact the importance attaching to the office _is itself a standing ad- vertisement in his favor, not with- out fts influence in drawing clients to him. But the positions of the Commissioners ofPubiic Works and Agriculture are entirely different Their residences are in the coun- try. They are obliged to leave their homes and come to reside in Char- lottetown‘ so long as they hold their offices. They are obliged to procure substitutes to look after their home business and are practically put to the expenses of keeping up two es- tablishments. The performance of their duties demands from them all their time and attention yet they are only paid $1500 a year, a mere insignificant pittance more than

the Attorney General who does not require to give one-twentieth of his time to the public service. This generous and disinterestedﬂ) cor- respondent is quite prepared how- ever to pass over in silence their cases. while advocating a large in- crease for the government's legal adviser. It is true that the holders of the offices mentioned are mere farmers and possibly not worthy to he considered in the same class with the Premier and Attorney General when it comes to raiding the treasury. But it seems these modest and unselfish gentlemen not only feel that their own salar- ies to the exclusion of all others should be increased but in order still further to magnify their al- lowances from the treasury they have advanced the claim for an ad- dit-ion to their sessionai indemnit-

ies. The Attorney General now rc-

ceives as salary $1200 a year and

$1400 a year, Although his resi-

not at all satisfied with this. The

an increase both in his salary and his sessional allowance. In their eagerness to grab for themselves they find little desire in their hearts for the poor underpaid teachers of the province, many of whom are- compelled to exist on $200 a year. Neither do they show the lcust interest in the subordin- ate government officials, some of whom work and support their fam- ilies on a small pittance of $700 a year. Out upon such unworthy conduct and self seeking methods. You obtained the people's votes by false cries against evtravsgance and by promises of the most rigid‘ economy. You are now preparing the stage for the gratification of your own selfish ends. You claim that $200 sessional allowance is not enough. Measured by the .woi’k it is too much.

NEW YORK, March 3.-——Sinrt- ling revelations as to the Police Department were predicted atlhe District Attorney's ‘office today. after John J. Gunson, a police de- tective, had been indicted on chars- es of bribery. Further indictments against members of the police force were forecasted, and it was stated that the disclosures would result in the greatest upheaval in the department since the Becker case. The Grand Jury for several months has been investigating ihe methods of members of the "vice squad" who arrest. women. Evid- ence has been obtained that some detectives are- not vcnly grafting upon "women, but are preventing them from leading better lives. ac-
