He was followed in the debate yesterday by Hon. George H. Bar- bour, Minister ‘of Public Works and Highways, Messrs. George E. Seville, (Fifth Kings), Philip Math- eson (Second Queen's), Hon.

Charting Foolish Course Says Qililosition Leader

Dr. MacMiiian, Premier Jones stated that a 81.000 salary increase had been given to Mr. Lloyd Shaw. Deputy Minister of Education. lt was passed by orderdn-council on May B last and made retroactive to April 1. Asked why this was not done during the last session, and the amount placed in the estim- ates, the Premier said it was an "emergency." "We didn't know know about it then," he added. "Mr. Sham was offered the secre- taryship of the Canadian Educa- tlorl Association at $6,000 and we raised him to $4.500 to retain his services."

In conclusion Dr. MacMillan scored the Government for dis- crimination in giving two districts Murray Harbour and First Queen's — two cabinet seats each, while other districts were unrepre- sented.

B. P. Summary 0f The Legislature

(By The Canadian Press)

The Prince Edward Island Trade Union Act, designed “to protect our basic agricultural economwhas ' been denounced by the executive of the Provincial Federation of _Agrlculture, lt. was learned last llixht. ‘ ‘

Members cited s. possibility that national unions would express their displeasure st the legislation by effecting a boycott on Island farm products.

All unofficial report of the Federation was read by J. Philip Mstl-leson (PC-ind Queens) dur- ing the session of the Legislature last nlsht. no said he would not comment on it other than to state that. he was a member of the Fed- eration. '

The report said the executive and members of the Federation 111111 mel- vesterdsv and. "Biflfméd at the gathering storm clouds of opposition in other parts of the Dominion. were deoidcd and dedi- nite in their disapproval of re- strictions placed upon thug; who wish t0 organize for the protection of their interests."

One expressed a fear that even the Railway Brotherhooda (exempt 110111 the Act) mlshl refuse to handle Island products. The an- nounce t. emphasized that the Federation had asked no mo}; legislation.

Wlnllm Rushes. ..who resigned last week as Provincial Secretary. Treasurer and Minister of Health and Welfare. quoted C.C.F. leader M. J. Coldweli as saying the Ig- land's labor bill would GXICUIBQgQ the spread of Communism. Mr. I'll-Shes said such a statement was ridiculous.
