Difficulties Between
Local Shippers And
Stevedores May Af-
fect Business' Here
If Not Speedily Ad..
justed.
Complaints with respect to delay
in loading potato steamers in Char-
lottetown during the past few weeks
were investigated by s Guardian ze-
pxeaentatlve. who was informed by
i local shippers that steamship corn-
paniee in future will give preference
to Georgetown and Bummeraids as
loading ports on the ground that the
work can be done more expeditiously
than in Charlottetown. It is claimed
that larger gangs of men are re-
quiredheretodothesameworkand
that local men demand ten cents
more in waded Der hour than the la-
borers at Georgetown and Slimmer-
side. The following ngures were given
thereporterbyalocalshipperofthe
quantities loaded at 'the three ports
in one day: In Georgetown 4 gangs
of 11 mon each in 10 hours loaded
14.890 bags: in Bulnmereide 4 gangs
of 1'! msn ea hours loaded
17,190 bags. ottetown 4
lance of 22 in 12 hours
loaded 9850 bags and 1 barrels, or
less than 11.000_bs.gs.

repairing or moving staging." It is
also alleged that during the loading
of the steamer “.R&.il!1" the ablcst
class of laborers was not available,
the msn Ning missed in unloading
coal and salt sieainers. ,
The maths' is one in which Char-
lottetown is much concerned, and it
is hoped that iiie diillcultiea will be
settled before the shipping season is
further advanced. It has been sug-
gested that some outside body. such
astheBosrdcf'1‘radeorotheri.n-
dependent crganisavion, might inter-
vene ad arrange an amicable settle-
ment. Ths stevedores of Charlotte-
town are an lable and intelligent clasg
of men, and if they have grievances
which interfere with the eillclent
performance of their duties, these
grievances should be settled at once.
Another matter complained of by
local shippers is the alleged unreas-
onable chnrge made by the Railway
for ilhe use of flat cars in loading
sieamers at Charlottetown and
Georgetown. In order to load the C.
B. "R-Aish" at the railway wharf here
last week it was necessary to have
four fiat cars between the steamer
and the warehouse. The Railway
charged $21. for shunting these cars
down to the steamer and $24 for
their hire for four days-in all $45.00.
The steamer "Lisbeifh" loaded a
cargo of 61,400 bags at Georgetown
last week for Havana, and the charge
was $21.00 for shunting flat cars and
$30.00 for their hire. If these eteam-
era were the last to be loaded at
fllssa ports another charge of $21
would bs made to each steamer for
haulirg the fiat can up the wharf.
It is claimed that this  was
not made before the whlrves were
taken over by the Department of
Marine and !'1sheries.

Unemployment
Ainong 'Canadian
Railroad Workers
(Canadian Press)
OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. Zi.-Grave
unemployment now exists a.mon8Si
railroad workers of Canada, accord-
ing to J. A. P. Haydon, Canadian
wrresporldent of Labor, the official
publication of the railway labor un-
ions. The partial grain crop failure
and the tieup caused by the non-
mcverncnt of grain is given as the
'direct cause of the situation. The
employees engaged in the mainten-
-ance of equipment departmnts of the
railways are the chief sufferers.
The “MB A118115" shops of the Can-
adian Pacific at Montreal, employ-
ing approximately 5.500 men have
been hit hard. and this month only
18 days employment will be afforded
these workers, says Mr. Haydon. A
five day week has been temporarily
inaugurated and in addition the en-
tire plant will be closed far five
days.
The western shc/ps have also been
hit. Approximately 1,950 men there
decided sometime ago to inaugurate a
temporary four day week, but an-
nouncement is now made that layoffs
will also be necessary. Layoffs on
the Canadian National have not been
so severe, but large numbers of men
are nevertheless without employment,
the correspondent declares.
The reduction in freight has become
so pronounced that switehmen in the
Tormto and other terminals are now
without employment, a condition
unknown for years.

as to deprive domestic wheat growsrsi
of proper storage faculties,
Nye, Republican, secured an
ment to the tariff biil this
which reduces the period
which Canada wheat may be
in bond from three years to tel:
months, He said there were 2300
bushels of this Canada wheat,
was a carry over from the
wheat crop of 1928. He admitted
was no Canada wheat in bond at
place or Duluth, but said that
elevators at these points were
to capacity, because wheat could
be shipped from them to the crowd
ed elevators at Buffalo and
York. This necessitated the western
farmer selling his wheat at an
satisfactory price. because he could’
not find storage. As a matter of fact_i
Dokota and Montana farmers had
been selling their wheat in
and psyins the Canada tariff duty.
The debate upon the New Yorki

United States, and what was the,
Ttmtdy. Senator Copeland, Democrat, ’
