Coun. Lowther mode it plain that while he was asking for the Coun- cil to request permissive legisla- tion go that the Council could. if it saw fit, engage the R. C. M. P., he was personally againm the change.

Hygienic Service

Mr. G. R. Keefe. manager of the Keefe Hygiene Service. was present to explain to the Council under what terms he would con- sent to continue the garb e-col- lccting for another year. Beg this week. Mr. Keefe said, garbage would be collected twice a week from each householder at a charge of $1.50 per week. The former price had been, Q1315. Mr. Keefe said. but at that price the service had been a losing venture. There was a time when boys could be obtained to do the work of col- lecting at a weeluly wade of $10 or $12 a week but they were unob- talnabie now. Mr. Keefe said. and it was impossible to get returned men at $25 a week. The Govem- ment was handing them out so much dole that they did not have to work and would not work. Mr.

Keefe stated. So far as the city dump was concerned, Mr, Keefe geld,

was the finest city dump in Canada. Recently. he had been in Montreal, Toronto. Windsor 0nt., and Que- bec City and he could assure the Council Charlottetown had a finer dump than any of the cities named.

Fine War Record

The war of 1914-1918 found our munbers rallying to the colors. Some 200 members joined, and a l number going to war plants an ship yards in other provinces. Of e men in the service, 50 were killed in action. and 35 wounded and prisoners of war._ This record compares favourably with any other organization in this Province.

“ the war. our Union made its first real effort to obtain social legislation in this Province.

Island Federation of Labor. all good “spud" Islanders. Between the wars and during the depression, our Local played an important role in advising those who were not organized. Trouble would have taken place here if our officers r aside, and at- tended to our own affairs. but we -oalled in all classes of labor and advised them to be patient. We told them we would take their troubles on our own shoulders and do whatever was possible for them. and we did. So there were no riots here; no trouble like they had ih other parts oi’ Canada. During those trying times. we were the first to register the unemployed, and we worked hand in hand with the city officials in an effort to alleviate the suffering of those who were on relief. “Our requests were always fair and our request to the local Gov- ernment today ape fair. We only want what we honestly believe is 0111‘ Judi. due. and I believe we will be successful in obtaining legisla- tion that will be a blessing to every RE. Islander here. and the many Islanders abroad will rejoice in the knowledge that at last our Garden Province has come to its senses, and has taken its place in line with other Provinces in allowing abovr to have a voice in the Gov- ernment. a right it so richly de- serves." In conclusion, Mr. Rush said met labor must work hand in hand with

Province... Advancement of labor will mean better times for both labor and business. Also need- ed is better working conditions for- femaie workers. for whom he made a strong plea.

roads this year until it is aster- tained what financial arrangement can be made with the on Government. In the Advisory Re- construction Committee report it was listed as project 8.

Mr. Barbour stated it was bro. posed to close all the roads this year to trucks of 2 tons and over and asked for the co-operation of the public in enforcing uiis meas- ure which was necessary to main- taln the roads in condition.

Fertilizer Shortage

Mr. strong asked the leader cf the Government if he was aware that there might be a shortage of about 10.000 tons of fertilizer this year. was due to the short- age cf potash. He asked if steps could not be taken to obtain more potash from the United States.

Premier Jones said there was as much fertilizer available to the Island this year as last year. Pot- ash is very scarce. and also sul- phate of ammonia due to the strikes in the steel works. The situation with regard to potash will not be relieved unless shim- ments come in from Rumia.

_ The following bills were intro- duced and given first reading:

An Act to amend the P. E. I. Hospital Incorporation Act. (Hon. Mr. wse).

An Act to Incorporate the Cove- head Race Track Company Ltd. (Mr. R. R. Bell).

An Act to incorporate the Sum- merside Trotting Association Ltd. (Mr. R. R. Bell).

Premier Jones tabled a report on Rural Electrification in Prince Edward Island.

Election Act

0n motion of Hon. Mr. Stewart the House went into committee with Mr. Kickharn in the chair on second reading of an Act to amend the Election Act of 1922.

The bill raises the amount to be deposited in elections from $10 to $50.

Hon. Mr. Wright cited the rec- ent by-electlon in Summerslde when a candidate had nominated without anv hope of winning and had put the county to unnecessary expense. In the original bill the amount was raised to 8100 and he was in favor of having this figure retained.

I-Ion. Dr. MacMilian said the purpose according to the lest speaker was to keep certain citi- ns from nominating. He recal- led that the Bedeque member once ran himself as a "nuisance" can- didate.

Mr. Hunter did not think it fair to squeeze out a poor man with a high nomination fee.

Mr. Strong said the $50 fee was not likely to shut out. the C. C. F. candidates. if that was the pur- pose. He moved. seconded by Mr. Bell. that the amount be reduced
