Criticises the Appoint- ment of Don-aid G. McKenzie as a Mem- ber.

OTTAWA. UnL. May 6.—-'l‘.he fllliloluttnent of Donald McKenzie to the tariff board was the su-bject ll‘ criticism by lion. Robert R rs,

‘onservatlve, Winnipeg Sout . in sontluuedt debate 0a the budget last, night. The Minister of Finance, ne said. had been desirous of se- curing com-missiouers that wtould be qllwllflfld to advise not only on tariff changes, but on "kindred matters" as well.

"Kindred matters open up a wide field of opportunity" suit] iMr. Rog- ers, "Jt can well be interpreted to mean that the commission is to 4e very sympathetic and congenial with the manufacturers, when mak- ing their ex-ruy exanninntlon as to profit and loss, and yet at the same time leave an impression that might lend certain manufacturers to feel that they were under some special and personal-obligation to 1|. compromise govern-meat."

‘if the government had this in mind. be conliuended the selectiion of- that commission. The chair- znan had been “an old and trusted political warrior for many years. recognized for a quarter of ‘a cen- tury and more as the guardian of anything and everything that would tend to promote the beet interests of the Liberal party.

Ila the constituency of Brandon the Progressive lender also "was steeped in the iniquity of traffick- ing in campa/ign funds. for l find that in the election of 1921. he him- ielf was a director of an organized company, under the iluws ol‘- Manl- toba, called the Brandon Federal Progressive Association rLimiited."

tMr. R/ogers read the names o_f the other directors of this company, one of whom was Donatld Gordon McKenzie, of-Braudon. He stated that after the election of 1921, the association retired from business. but previous to the election of 1925, it was revilved with Mr. McKenzie "again to the fore as one of the directors interested in the success of the member for Brandon, whose duty tit was to collect, receive anti disburse monies for political pur- ixises." '

iMr. McKenzie was promoted -to a directorship 0n the United Farmene of Manitoba political executive, LimIi-tetl. because of his work in ilrnndoit, said Mr. Rogers.

LONDON, iMay 6*'l‘hat the coal miners are among the lowetst paid industrial workers in Great Bri- tain is apparent from an examin- ation of the latest statistics pub- lished by the Trades Union Coa- green.

These cover half of the year 1925, and the official publication states that they apply only to certain grades and dlo not cover the entire industries.

According to these figures the maximum tnosai-ble weekily earnings of the miners for the period given totalled 54 shillings (approximately $13) but the actual earnings were about 50 Bhlldllllgfl ($12).

lRaiilway man va/ried from 102

sbriliings for laborers. Tramway- men averaged 69 shillings for driv- ers and 54 for conductors, but. the highest paid drivers received ‘i2 shillings.

The masons average in large towns exceeded 73 shillings and cabinet-makers 74. but in London, 82; printers, 73. Shoemokers varied from 57 no 50 shillings, ac- cording to the cost of living. Car- penters, plumbers and brick-lays, received 73 shillings. ‘

iin the engineering industries the highest .pay was 61 shillings and the lowest, 40; shipbullders, high- est. 58 and tlowest, 38; bakers, 60 to

With regard tto hours of labor the fntiners had an advantage, uu- derground men working a uniform seven-hour shift. The iron work- ers had an e/lgbt-bour shift, rail- waymen and tramwaymeu 48 hours, building trades 46 1-2 hours. tex- tile workers and bakers >48, engin- eering and shipbuilding 47.
