March 3 ~<lCPl—\A wife who said she would be willing to stake her life on her “wonder- ful" husbands innocence of a 13- yeor-old crime, today drew the family's savings of $500 out of the bank to bail Williams R. Johnson out of Jail after he had been charged with amped robbery. it was Jolmsorrs efforts to ob- tain a. taxi license which led to a survey of records and the subse- quent charge of being implicated in an armed robbery of street-car barns in 1935. Four men were soughtfltlhree apprehended and two sentenced to jail ‘cnms. "Why would he repeatedly visit the police in his attempts to sec- lXre a taxi license, ii’ he was wanted by them?" she asked. Mrs. Johnson told of a case of mistaken identity which occurred when a cheque for $800 was written out to William Johnson for the sale of stock. She said her husband returned it. to the bank with the explanation that he wasnt the m-an involved. ‘This i5 a bombshell-Bill is a wonderful husband and he wouldn't steal a ilhing or harm n-nybody." said Mrs. Johnson. Police say Johnson may escape pr ‘ion because the men who held up the streetcar barns aren't avnila-blo witnesses.

Labour Rights Discussed By Fara‘ Prince Member Labour organization should be limited to a. Province-wide basis. in the opinion ‘of Mr. Fred C. Ram- say. First District of Prince. who spoke on this subject in the Leg- islature this week in the course of a. peach on the Draft Address. afcre the election the Jones Government had been “tagged an anti-Labour Government,“ Mr. Ramsay said. This. he contended. was “unfair political propaganda." li. was the Jones administration which in 1M5 had given 143130111‘ ils first right to organize in this Province. They had offered the strikers at the’ Called-a Packers plant more money than they had asked for, but. the strikers had cle- clined to work on dictation from Toronto. "I believe Labour should be given the right to organize on a Provincial basis only." Mr. Ramsay said. “Then they would not be subject to dictation from other parts of Canada, the United States or any other country. "However, the right to strike is possibly the only means that Labour has to protect itself. I think that something just as ef- trrtive could take its place, because ii any section of our people needs protection it is Labour. On the average, Labour is not as highly educated. nor has it the amount of worldly goods. as has the aver- age manufacturer or professional man, or the average farmer. "therefore if any change ia con- templated in this connection. that change would have to give Labor a proper and adequate protection. Otherwise I could not support it. “With regard to the situation that occurred last year at the Canada. Packers plant. I am sure that the Premier and those as- sociated with him should he com- mended in taking prompt action to open up that plant. It would be unreasonable to think that the Government of an agricultural Province such as ours would allow seventy strikers to hold up 14,000 producers and 95,000 consumers." Home Grown Grain Farm prices, Mr. Ramsay said. have been satisfactory and crops plentiful. Nevertheless farm life is still not an easy one. "Until we decide we can grow our own grain I do not; think our economy will bl.- sound," he said, recalling that last year he had referred to the uri- reasonable practice of transport- ing western grain 3.000 miles for use on Prince Edward Island farms. "We have in this Province approximately 14.000 farmers. If those 14.000 farmers would decide to grow an additional five acres of mixed grain. this would total 70.000 acres. and with the judicious use of fertilizer \\'c could grow approximately 2.000.000 additional bushels of grain, which would about equal our imports during ihc past _ year." While potato prices have been fairly well maintained, refriger- ator cars are still at a. premium. "We have been up against this problem for several years now, and i ' , reports an the by leading Canad work of the Red Cross ilm writers sisters . . to his memory symphonies . . . CHARLUFPETOWN it la hoped that before another crop is ready to move, adequate reefer cars will be available." It has been argued that potato crop restriction would be bene- ficial in maintaining the fertilitv of the soil. I1 this policy came into effect, Mr. Romany said, he would like to see it extended to the whole. Dominion, so that other Provinces would share in the re- striction. In his district last year portions of the potato crop did not re- spond to fertilizer application. and an examination showed that cer- l" tain ingredients were missing. The fertilizer company made up t s deficiency. but. this did not fuly compensate the growers. He would like to see applied to fertilizer and other things the farmer buys, the same rigid inspection as is ap- plied to the products the farmer sells. ' After hearing discussions at. the recent meeting of the Federation of Agriculture. one could not fall to be convinced that the Federa- tion ls making rapid strides an is giving leadership to the rest c Oanarl-a, Mr. Ramsay said. The farnners. he suggeslri should be "safeguarded" in tn matter of selling cattle for bec purposes. He cited an instance in his district where if farmers had accepted an offer made from a‘ certain packing plant they would . have suffered a heavy loss. "Wei should," he maintained. "have a’ system whereby animals destined ‘ for abbatolre are inspected at shipping polite and paid accord- ing to weight and quality." Boat Harbors Needed He expressed regret at the d.» appointing returns to the fishery industry this year. Both the Pro- ' vincial and Federal Governments have done much to improve con- ditions in the industry in recent years, but there ia much yet to be clone. Mr. Ramsay referred to numerous important fishing cen- tres in his district. The Federal Government should provide at least two boat harbours along the North Shore in addition to ex- isting facilities. He lndorsed the statements of Mr. Richard and other speakers with respect to the importance of the West Point-Buctouche ferry service. It would be of great ad- vantage to farmers and fishermen. and the transportation costs should be very small. ‘The service would also be of value to the tourist trade. as visitors could come here from Nova Scotia by way of Wood Islands. tour the length e0’ the Province. and leave by way of West Prince for New Brunswick.
