How right they were! no laboring man knows who iheir friends are, and they won't allow the Li rals to push them around any ore. Every working man in Charlottetown-knows how ithe Jones Government hates lab- or, and they also know how -Mayor MacDonald kept the pre- VQIHIII rate at 55 cents per hour sntii he was sure of the Liberal

At me last Council meeting, from a uritten statement,, he said the .ll'EVBl”nK rate for casual labor vould be 65 cents per hour. Now what happens? The City Clerk ,..i.y. he is not allowed to pay that -ate because it is not legal.

Who does Mayor MacDonald 'lllnk he is fooling? Why hasn't '10 called a special meeting and ililve that madet legal? Just an- other "brush-off" for Labor. The Liberal Platform offers Labor

nothing but ifs, when and "we intend"; Dave Mathleson states -frankly that the Conservative

Party will give Labor s Depart- ment in their Government, also '1 minimum wage law for this Province: and until we get that, , Labor has a small chance in Charlottetown. Dave Mathieson is the man who will give the Char- square

WESTERN HOSPITAL GIANT

Sir,-Of all the glaring disregard for the welfare of the people in any part of Canada, I do not be- lieve that there are any people living in this vast country of ours that have to contend with such treatment to a greater extent than those residing in Western Prince County, in other words from O'Lcary to North Cape.

Our grievances are many, but it is my intention at this time in refer to only one, and that is regarding grants to hospitals, in the case of the Western Hospital at Alberton. If we were not given a flat refusal then we were cer-' iainlry given what is commonly known as "the brush-off," in re- gard to wlnt we think is their just share of the money that has been so generously given to all otlfer hospitals.

There is a great number of people here whom this Western

to in

son, in particular; just why this innitution cannot qualify for the grant, especially at this time when ail...tbe Liberal candidates are boasting about what their Liberal idovernment has done for the health and welfare of all the poo- . plL p - i I complete answer to this ques- Zl.ion would be very much appre- ciated, I think, by all the people Int West Prince County.

N. 3.. to enable M.C.A. to run a shuttle service between Moncton and Labrador for ingoing and outgoing labour, according to information received by the National Employment Of- flce in Charlottetown.

There will be accommodation at the Lakeburu site for a large number of workers en route to Labrador, who may be held up due to poor flying weather or for other reasons.

The Drake-Merritt Corporation. a large American compan,, has the contract of the job which will go ahead as soon as equip- ment and materials are arranged for and landed at the site of operations. This may take several weeks at least. The recruitment of labour will not comment: until facilities are available to begin work.

The company's office at Lake- burn will handle all office work in connection with the contract. payrolls, maintenance, emergency supplies. etc. Mr. C. D. Hudson will be the office manage , and

he will have a staff of about thirty. The estimated labor require-

ments first set at 1500 have now been raised to 4000. All labour channeled through the Employment Office in

Th Moncton Office when it be- come necessary, will place orders with various other National Em- ployment offices in the Mari- times, and these offices will so- lect men, have them medically ex- amlned, and then refer them to the Moncton Office. Men who go to Moncton in the expectation of being hired there, will be refer- red back to the town from which they came.

The Charlottetown and Sum- mersido Offices hope to be in- cluded in the list of Offices which will recruit men, but there is no guarantee at the present time, that the number allotted these offices will be very large. In any event, neither Offices have received an order as yet. and have been asked to warn applicants that it is useless to proceed to Moncton, in the hope of being hired there.

It is the intention of the Com- pany to work a 60 to 70 hour week, on a 44 hour week basis with time and a half off after 44 hours. .

Advertisements will appear in the papers later, advising appli- cants to call at designated Na- tional Employment Service Of- fices. It is expected that once the work gets underway, it will con- tinue for some months.

He stated there was no impact in the car at the time of the collision and all he time of the collision and all the car damage was superficial. He said there was just a tap on the radiator and that the fenders and headlights were the same as if the car had just come out of the factory.

Witness was down at the farm all afternoon and had a bottle of cream on top of a hamper of pota- toes and turnips in the back. He looked-into the car next after- noon and the materials" were pract' lly unmoved. He said the seats of the car were also unmov- ed.

He thought that if he had had five or ten feet more the accident would not have occured. He felt that he did everything possible in the few seconds available. not knowing whether or not he should pull to the left and instead of one death there might have been sev- eral. He stated that the inside dual wheel bf the truck was on the pavement and the cars were passing so quickly that three went by him before he got one stopped.
