"During the latter Dart of his term of office this country was in a higher degree of speculation than ever in its history. As a result o: the failure of his government to take adequate measures ‘bousands were bankrupt and ruined. The very friends upon whom he relied accomplished that purpose.

UITAWA, Jan. Qlr-Tho '1‘. lhton Co. does not operate factories at Q loss with the purpose in mind cf de- pressing prices they pay for goods bought outside their organisation, was the definite statement to tbs Royal Commission on Mass Buying, made by Hank Bethel, superintend- ent of Eatcsfa factories, today. It was true the men's wear plant op- erated at a loss; but it could not so continue, or it would have to be closed down.
Bethel was on the stand for the greater part of the day and was conducted by Counsel Roy L. Kel- lock through intricate schedules treating of the amounts earned by factory employee and their relation to the company's policy respecting the minimum wage law. Figures , oduced by witness could not be reconciled with those secured by the commission's audiwrs, it was con- tended.
Girls “Bounced”
Testimony was also given by Frank 5. Moore, who until Sept- ember, 1034, was manager oi Fac- tory F-B, a plant that has loomed large in the commission's investiga- tion. Chiefly all evidence bore on whether Eston's observed or viola- ted the minimum wage provisions over a period of years. Practices within F-B relating to transferring tags from work done one week and crediting them to the operator for the previous was widely can- vassed. up, result of this practice. had been that when girls were ‘bonussifl’ to bring them up to the minimum wage. the time corres- ponding to that amount were tak- en from their next week's work and audited to the , cs" week. Several witnesses had protested to the commission against this deduc- tion. (Last week Kellock declared the company's intention to make good whatever deductions had thus been made and to deal generously with the girls). It transpired, how- ever, that outsidethe factory cfflce staff, none o! the officials had any knowledge this practice was carried on. That, to Bone H. H. Stevens, was appalling.

"I don't blame you for being sur- prised." said Bethel. He himself had learned of it only last week; and had been astonished.
