The grain board was their cree- tion end they must shoulder the onus of its action. Particularly did he csstigete the minister, Mr. .Malooim, charging him with failure properly to administer the act. He also interpreted certain criticisms of members as reflecting lack of confidence in that minister. l-Ie suggested a special tribunal oi inquiry and enlarged on the gravity oi the situation returning to the central theme of governmental res- ponsibilltiy. , Mr. Dunning took a second hand in the discussion and thought the situa- tion where the promotion of the in- terest of the public should be pare- Failurc To Properly Administer The Grain Act Charged By Bennett ment oi the suggestion that he had ever been behind the grain commis- slon. He took full responsibility for anything he had done and said that charges were not backed up by the three presidents of the pool or their lawyers. whose views had been pres- ented to the government in the past few days. He quoted the justice de- partment as saying that the much abused ticket conformed to the grain act while he welcomed the widest in- quiry into the whole question. Mr. Stevens afterwards shared in the criticism of his leader as to gov- ernmental responsibility, and at the and of the day the discussion was fin- ished.

This was the decision arrived at yesterday es a rc- sult of the announcement in the Leg- islature by Premier Saunders on Thursday that the request for ln- creased salaries could not be grant- ed. It ls understood that the Canad- lau Federation of Teachers, with which the Prince Edward Island body ls allied, ls supporting the local fea- chers in their action. There were no press reporters at yesterday's meeting, which was a strictly private one. The following official report was issued to the press by the Federation executive: 0f""Zal Report At the lazy and most enthusias- tic meeting < anchors ever held in this Province, cry important busi- ness, relating tc the welfare of the teachers was transacted. v W The meeting opened at one o'clock in the Prince of Wales College Hall with upwards of five hundred teach- ers in ttendance. After the Presl- dent Mr. C. B. Jelly had outlined the action taken by the Executive since the last annual convention, he called upon Mr .E. J. H. Morrisey, Provin- cial Organizer to give a report of his activities. Mr. Morrisey reported that practically one hundred per cent of the teachers are now members of the Federation, this being by far the highest enrolment of any Provincial organization in Canada._The follow- ing reply from the Premier was then read: i March r1, ma‘ Dear Madam, In pursuance of representations made by a committee of your Feder- ation, the matier of an increase in Teachers’ 'salaries has been discus- sed by the Government. Immediately after these representations were made I communicated with all the Liberal them to take the matter up with the electors of their respective districts. At the same time, I submitted to them the request of a committee on Public Health, which had also waited on the Government requesting that the, latter assist in the erection and maintenance of a tuberculosis sani- torium. {may say that out of 183 Women's Institutes in this Province, 11B wrote regarding the lost mentioned met- ter, strongly re mmending the eon- struction of an up-to-date sanitar- ium, owing to the fact that we have at the present moment, in this Pro- vince, about Bl0_ persons suffering from tuberculosisjund about 80 per- sons dying annually from this dread disease. » The members of the Legislature. after conferring with the electors es requested, and after holding meetings with the people, report that generally speaking the latter feel that they canno efiordto pay increased taxes at t _ time.

Discontinued On March 29th Unless Govern- ment Meets Requests For Increas- we are at the , time to ecoeed to the request of the School ‘ranchers in this matter. The Government feels that, in un- dertaking to assist in the construc- tion of a sanltorium. and in contri- buting $12,000.00 annually to its main- tenance. we would be doing all we reasonably could be expected to do with our limited resources. We really foal that the present is an inopportune time to make your re- quest. The farmers, who are largely the taxpayers of the Province, find it a hardship to pay their present taxes, without any increase, at a time when the market price of potatoes, a cash crop on which they largely de- pend, is fifteen cents a bushel. The Government has, during the pest year, been making every reason- able effort in the hope of gett‘ _ an increase in subsidy from the licderal Government. At a recent conference in Ottawa, the Prime Minister and the Minister bf Finance agreed to arrange for en accounting between ' theProvixicea and. Canada. at which time our Province will be enabled to makes. further detailed presentation of oiir claims. This accounting will take place next fall before a. Board of experts. We are hopeful that, after -this'Board will have submitted its findings to the Federal Government. we will receive e substantial increase in subsidy at the next session of the Canadian Parliament. Should we be successful in obtain- ing such increase, this Government will then be prepared to ant to yourrlederation every reaao _ le con- sideration in the matter of increased salaries, on a basis which will have as its object the improvement of our educational requirements generally.
