TUESDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1.933-

TIIE GUIDING HAND

A notable triumph in dlpIOlnMY has been achieved by Premier Ben- nett in his friendly intervention be- tween the railways slid employees i to prevent a threatened tieuP 0V" the question of wage reductions. As gtated in yesterdays Guardian, a lcttlement has been reached after weeks of negotiation. 111E 881W‘ merit provides for a i5 percent re- duction from November 1, 1033, in lieu of the 20 percent reduction which has been in effect since May l last. This is to continue for one your, or until October 31, 1934, when the deduction drops to l0 percent, with the provision that after Sept- ember l, 1934, either party may lervc notice of desire to change this percentage,

1t was after hearing both sides of the case that Premier Bennett, in face of an impending deadlock threatening to tie up 65.000 miles of railway tracks throughout Canada, intervened to recommend further discussion between the disputants.

His advice was thankfully accepted

by both sides; the discussions were

Icopened and after further confer-

ences with the Prime Minister the

agreement was reached. Mr. Ben-

Iett modestly disclaims any credit

The Federal Government are to be highly commended for this grant and the laborers appreciate our federal representative, Mr, W. Chester S.

HALLOWEEN-

Halloween is lmmemorially as- sociated with ghosts, goblins and witches, and with the revels ac- companying the congregation of these supernatural visitants. Let the sceptical read Mrs. Crowe's “Tho Night Side of Nature," or the more easily accessible treatise of Sir Walter Scott upon “Damvrwlosv and Witchcraft." There is a. heap of biood-curdling annals about the Halloween tricks of clfish folk and ‘it is beside the mark to say that these wierd tales stand only upon circumstantial evidence and are hearsay. A very large slice of history, ancient and modern, is fab- ricated in much the same fashion. The impulse in younger folk to rc- act to these Halloween traditions is I. healthy and normal one; it should in no wisc be suppressed but rather encouraged to flow into channels cf innocent merriment and frolic.

ThB-t is the point which should be

specially emphasized this evening. Last year a number of misguided youths got into trouble by employing explosives to “pep up" their Hal- lowdcn celebration. The result was destruction of property and their enforced appearance before the Po- lice Court magistrate. There is no excuse for making Halloween an occasion for inflicting loss or in- convenience on others. The best of fun can be enjoyed without recourse to such practises. This evening ev- cry precaution will be taken by the authorities to see that the law is properly obeyed. Special officers in addition to the regular force will be on duty for this purpose. Citizens, however, would do well to co-opu- Ite by taking every precaution, and car owners in particular should sec that their cars are safely housed overnight. It is hoped, by this means, that the fun will be kept within legitimate bounds, and that "a good time will be had by all"- lncluding property owners.

LOBSTER VINDICA TED

Commenting upon the dietary‘ values of fish foods, the Montreal Gazette says it is a rather curious thing that there has to be, in such I country as Canada. a Fsh Week. u period of seven days during which people are exhorted to eat more fish, and to realize anew that the fisheries of the Dominion in

_ was waged between 1914 and 1918. Si“; which hi: ‘Ten ‘Zeiiezllztflla: ,1! the lesson of that will not pre- e or gsstro mcup c e

POTATO PRICES

Sin-In the Guardian and the Eatriot of the 26th. inst. a letter is published over the signature of|- “Lnterested Potato Grower" which states that serious and unnecessary

cutting in the prices of potatoes has been followed by shippers of that inrticie in this Province, and 11H suggests that the matter be thor- oughly investigated. I agree

ENCOURAGING

Wehuotc the following editorial from the leading organ of the new Ltberal Government in Nova Scotia:

"The Bureau of statistics, which from month to month reports the numbers employed by flmis through- out the country, but which docs not include farming, fishing and such occupations, reports a gradual increase 1n the number employed. Inst month the number so employ- ed were 834,348, while the figures for the month preceding were 810,- 458. Records for the ‘past twelve years snow that, probbaiy due to ceawnal changes, there was a dis- tinct decline in employment during Sdptcmbcr and October. The rec- ord fcr this year is therefore dis- tinctly encouraging, being the sixth consecutive month for which an in- crease has been shown, and the October advanm being the largest shown since the Bureau was creat- ed in i921. ‘The encouraging feature about this showing is the continu- ity of increase persisting through the six months."

Writing in a recent number of the Natonal R/view, Vice-Admiral J. E. T. Harper urges upon Britain the danger of uizprepnredness. He said: "In i914, 124 cruisers, as we learned to our cost, were insuffi- cient to our needs. By the end of 1936, if our Governmtnt has not the pluck to take determined ac- tion, we shall have only 36 effec- tive cruisers, Tresc are stubborn

This is a very serious matter in- deed and, in rfiy opinion, has "in- =volved the farmers of this Province in losses rimning into hundreds of thousands of dollars during the last ten years. The matter should therefore be investigated by a Royal Commission appointed by the Gm. eminent and presided over by a Judsc.

ber the result of the milk investig- ation, but a. Minister of the Federal Government referred the comple-

tion of the coal enquiry to the Province of Quebec, where the ai-

leged offences were committed. The

Attorney-General and Premier of that Province proceeded to act, and

the case is before a special trbunai now. 1t seems to me, that it ls more incumbent on the Government of this Province to act in this potato matter than it was on the Gov- ernment of Quebec to act in the coal affair, because an official of our Government is concerned in so for as prospective prices have been quoted.

“Interested Potato Grower" says: "me bankers surely want the far- mers to receive the highest iblc price. They must protect their loans. Higher prices ofler that protection." Quite true, and the merchants are in an exactly similar position. The interests of the farmers and the merchants are identical. If the far- mer does not succe -‘, the merchant cannot. Of course, some merchants, just the same as some farmers. may be selfish.

It is very doubtful whether the farmers themselves are not large- ly to blame for the misfortunes we an now considering. The majority of them may not have known what they were doing, but I believe some
