I _ I _\Vhat is the dispute? The Union rlcriituids the re- rfioval of :ui eniployce of the Railway from the de~ pafilnerit with which they, the rriemhers of the Union, url- mticerrierl. Tliey object to the Railway ciriploy- inig-.Mr. Monteith as ri checker of their work. 'l`hi.s they have a -perfect right to do, provided they show cause. The Railway, on the other hand has a perfect right toemploy whom it pleases to do its work, and to keep him crirployed how and where it pleases. If his work prove obnoxious to those over whom he has supervision, it-is the Railw:iy's duty 'both in its own irrtlerests and the interests of its patrons to find out tltd cause of the trouble. Certain members of the Uillon at the meetiiig Friday night made charges riigtlirtst l\lu-nteith which althorrgll scarcely specific were sufficient to deniand an irrvcstigrriiori_ Superin- tctidcnt Ifirarly at this meeting rnade the staterncrii that if any specific charge were brought against Mun- ttitli he would srrspend him for ten days, investigate the'elirtvgt~s and if proved would disclrrrrge him. This is.whi;~rc the riiattcr starids at present. We feel srirc tliat-the Union wouid not unjustly demand the dis- of cveir the removal of Mortteitlt and \\'c are equally sure tlt.'\t"the Railway would_not discharge or rieffitiyc him or otli`er\vise cast an irriputation upon his cltaracterior his. competence without positive proof. (_`l1arges have been made. Let them be properly irr- vt-Sfigatcrl arid evidence tal.-cn under oath before a properly constituted tribunal. This will he fair to the'Union, to the Ilailivay and to Morrtcitlt. To ask for his dismissal, or reriroval, without such investi- gtttirin would hc so unfair that the Union would trol demand it nor tltc Railwriy grant it. livery mari is innocent untilihe is proven guilty,

The Railway has already offered this solution; we

taiii, ir'1't-spccti\'e of pziriy, rcgarrl thc possibility of :in election during the war, is strikiligly illrrstralcd by the reports in liritisli ptiprrs just i'ccci\'crl iii (`:rrrada of thc rt-cent dchatc on the exit-nsiori of l”:irli:trrierit. ln introducing thc cxtcrision riietrsurc, .\lr~, lioiiar' l.:i\\" gave utterance to words wliicli, it scems ro ns, .sliould hc giveri thc widest possililc pirliliciiy iii this cor1rltr'_\'. llc said:

i “Tire considerations wliicli liavo iiirlucerl

Our troops ara i engaged in tho irrotilest nptwatlons they have ever i uu<lci't1ikcri since the cc-mmeucemenl of the war.

. . -. In these circumstances I cannot help

for-lixig tlrat, as on previous occasions, tlie Go- vernment and the I-louse believe that it would be highly tllsatlvuntageoris, not to put it more .<:tr'onrgly, that we should be plunged into the tur~ moii of a general election. with all the 'disputes and divisions which such an election would inevi- tably produce, and \_~iti\,- in addition, the certain- ty that the nation would be diverted from the one I object on which its efforts should be concentra- I ted." Mr. Law was 'followcdliy ex-I"rernicr .-\squi\h,

now on the Opposition beticlics, who, after dwelling on thefaet tlr:1t the liullt of llrilish electors are in the

lretiches, went on tn say:

"Voters lighting In .various theatres of the war

would not be riblo to rocorrl their votes. An

election untlor llreso contlltiorrs would not he all election at all. I-t would be a farce and a sham, and nobody would regrinl the Ilouso no chosen as I posseseiirig in any real 1-lense the moral authority'

' either for legislation or criticism ofwulmiutstra-

tion. To take ir. course which would necessitate tiio holding of an election under ouch circum- _ stances would be to fly in the face of common ' law, eommon_la_-irneus and common sense." The powerful reasons urged hy the two great liri-

tish leaders against an election in the Old Land apply with equal force to Canada. Indeed, there is only too much reason to expect that the “disputes and divi-N sions" \vliicli Mr. Dollar Law associates with an elec- tion in Britain would be a much more serious matter for us hcrc iii (_`an.'1d:i. The truth is, no matter how trnpalalzrble and rt-grcttalile it may bc, that an election in Cxrriada tomorrow would inevitably tend toward :i widenirig of racial qnlfs already for too broad, arid would likely fan intorenewed life smouldcring issues which most of us would like to see dead forever, No Cariadian, no 'matter what his politics, who is bending a llritislr heart to the war, can contemplate such a pos- siliility without rnisgivings. We went into this war with high hopcs, with united purpose and dcterniined resolve. Let us not lightly lake a step which might result in the weakenirig of o1rr'detcrmirration and the ctrrtailtnmt of our efforts. Let us riot follo\v :1 course which is rejected by the .'\lotlici'Ia1id as a distraction frorrr thc war. Lcl us riot do that which would divert our efforts from thc one rilijcct upon which tlrcy slrould lie corrceritratcd. _

Dear Motlier,-- Thought I would

write you ulcairi today. Ilnve liad no loi_t1‘.r. from llc/me lately. but hart one' u [ew days ago from Aunt Ant1ie.'Tl1o_ weather luis turned finer yesterday was very nico and bright. as is to-` day only for ri chilly breeze. Still it is nice to liavo it dry untlei't`oot for a-

cliarige. |

Well yester'dn_v. was a had day for,

the old Island Battery, the saddest;

rluy-since we camo to the scene of] conflict. Our ammunition came up_ by light railway to whero the railway' crosson the road leading to our Brit-i tory. Ilere we unloaded it and wero` bringing it down to the Battery on lorries. ln tire morning we got ri few loads down when a nliell came over.| tlro first one of the -bunch. striking the lorry., Ono man Gunner Il.` M. Robertnc-n of Marshfield was badly wounrleil in -the head but the doctor said lie had fair chances of recovery.

Gunner l't. C. Morne of Moncton was slightly wounded, his face being filled with splinters of wood from the lorry, and only one small piece of shell entering his body. These two men were sent to hospital rind attenti- erl to as quickly ns possible.

Soon the shelling at the corner dlerl

down and wo began agrrlri. Wo liarl taken down three loads and were just Iondirig up the fourth when a shell hit. tho petrol tank ol' the lorry and not llre to tho lorry, irlx men wore wounded. Driver Drake was badly wounded and his assistant Desks was lirrdly burned. Tlrcy are both English-_ men and belong to our Ammunition Column. Btlr. C. Stewart of South- pon got a had one ln the jaw but will come around alright. Gr. Fraser from Montreal was very badly wounded. Sgt. Duffy and Gr~. Ramsay of Char- lottetown were slightly wounded. It was 11 bad day for us alright.

The hard part of lt was that it was

tlio Ilrst shell which crime over tlirit. got tlio buncli. When ono comma rr lit tin rllsiunco., away one 'knr.-wir enough to leave the spot. Still ll. in ri tlilnr; that might never happen again -:ill nummior. It was ri very bright rlrry rind an Fritz had nevornl liulloonn up he likely saw tlie1.r11Hlc.p1nrt, the cor- ner' und the lorry stopping tliorti to he urilntuled.

I ditln’¢ ilnisli this yesterday for n

reason I shall describe later: \Ve felt depressed indeed over _tlle loss of our comrades. and hope almorrt against hope in one crifm at leant. that nll may,-
