Mitchell's statement as to ills re- liability. tin January 1923 Mitchell came to

Clflil’. interview-ed the Premier ol the province, the Commissioner of Public Works, and Commissioner of Agriculture. The Premier, Hon. Mr. ‘Bell, listened to Mitchell's rep- resentations, but intimated that there was not much likelihood oi llia being employed ‘by the province as owing to ‘the state of finances of the province, they could not engage tn emigration work. Mitchell stut- ed that he proposed to g0 on ‘with the emigration scheme on his own account. He interviewed a number oi’ Prince Edward Island farmers and took options on their farms and on a farm of Mr. Sinclair himself. In all he took options on over 700 acres of land at the rate cf $100 per acre. ‘in Febnuary, 1923, Mitch- ell came to Ottawa, said Mr. Sin- clair. and explained that he was not successful in getting the peo- plo he expected interested, and would have to drop his options. ‘He stated that be had again approach- ed the Provincial Government of Prince Edward Leland who had now agreed to appoint him an coloniza- tion representative.

“He asked me if he could see the Minister of Immigration at Ottawa, ivi-tlltlle idea that the province might have the ‘benefit ofithe $150 a month which the ‘Federal Depart- ment ol’ ‘immigration allows to of- iicers~ overseas, wvhen they are working in harmony with Dominion immigration officials." said Mr. Sinclair. “hiitclioll recognized as a provincial official, was taken under this practice."

When Mitchell went to London he appeared to have some difficulty with the Dominion Department of immigration there and cabled Yllr. Sinclair about it. . ‘

“l did nothing more than pass ills n‘ ueat,_pn lto the, Secret-airy oi‘ the - ulster oil‘ ‘immigration at Ot- lnWfl.” added Mr. Sinclair.

"Toward the end of July I was advised of disturbing reports coin- iug from London that Mitchell was antagonizing shipping companies and others. ‘Early in August I was informed from Ottawa that Mitch- ell was dropped from the list."

iMr. Sinclair stated that in the summer oi‘ 1923 he received u phone message firom H. R. Thomp- son, Secretary of the Canadian Manufacturers Association for the Maritime iP-rovlnces, saying lie was in communication with ‘Mitchell who had wired requesting Thomp- son to have a Liurvey made 0f the lauds ill Prince Eilwnrtl iSillllii. which Mitt-hell said were held -b,\‘ lliln under options lo purchase.

"-1 unswercil Mr. Thompson that the land owners understood that the options li-ad elldcii months ago.

“Iu a few days Mitchell alid [Thompson caulo to Prince Edward Island. They asked why the sur- veys were objected to and were told that there was nothing to sur- vey since the land owners consid- ered that ‘the options were ilt all cud lung before. -Mr. Mitchell pro- icclnled to get tllc innil owners to- izcihel“, and irskcil lcavc to silrvcy {the laud and for all extension of itllu time of the options. The land owners reiuscil unlcss the illllii Isluiuld b0 ipaid for nnd possesslilu tzikcil by lllill ut OIICE. llo rt. lsi-il in rclousc illlt! options. snyiilg hi- lluil responsible people iulol-estteii

ctl that he had then nothing to do with tllc government nnd was car- rying out his own private schema.

_ LONDON, lliurch 10.‘~'Ii1‘ii.iSil in- dustry is confronted this week Iwlth the most serious possibilities of tile critical trouble it has laced for maily years. The next few days will probably decide whether ‘or not the coal miners will carry out their threats oi a general strike, whether the cotton spinners will face a lockout, whether nlotur- men nlid conductors of London trams and drivers of London buses will strike. whether there is to be a general stop in the pottery trades and whether the dispute be- tween theelnployerg and men in the shipping yards will develop into an open breach.

Recently several minor disputes have been adjusted and tilero is general hope that the nlajority of current disputes will be amicably settled. There is great disquiet however regarding the attitude of the tramway men. Whether their demands lire granted or whether they go on strike the employees iii the underground railway undoubt- edly will take advantage of the situation nond a tie up of the whole of London's transportation is threatened.
