' Suggests Bonus years leader Mr. Philip ldatheson opened the lscussion by inquiring if it were he intention of the Government to pay a cost of living bonus to teachers. He was supported by Mr. George Seville. Hon. 1". A. Large. Minister of Education. pointed out that it was the,dual responsibility of the Gov- ernment and the districts to pay the salaries. The province, he thought. paid the largest per-centsso of the salaries of any province in the Do- minion. "The initial salaries of teachers are good in comparison with other business groups but the older teach- ers do not get enough. stated Mr. D.L. Msthieson. "It is impossible la;,a ' d teacher to live de- cently and there is no incentive to keep our better teachers in the pro- usion. ' L-"There is still too much to be ne by a teacher in a one room ooi. A . gional high school is rhaps the answer. In the mean- e, until we have these high .-idliools. we should, if we could, lid two or three room schools at c tain centres where the last three g cs could be accommodated. .i'”rhis would enable primary stri- nts to get the attention they . ould be getting. Many people tell that a great number of the young people starting work today can not spell properly." Mr. Philip Matheson stated that young people will never be at- tracted to the teaching profession as long as they can get jobs with better pay. A first year male teacher averages sl.300. he con- tinued, while the ordinary male help on the farm get from 500 to 875 a month with their board. it works out nearly as high as a young fellow going into teaching and a farm laborer is lower paid mgr most, he stated. e suggested that equal, fixed supplement should be estalblisheci lp all districts for teachers.

' Held in the Labourers Pro- tective Union Hall the meeting was presided over by Lem Rush who told the large gathering that it was called to discuss wages and working conditions in this city. He told of a request made to the City Council for an increase in the hourly wage rate for casual labor from as cents to 75. Al- though an increase was granted it Wu only to so cents. Said Mr. Rush "we know it is almost kn- pcssible to live on less than one dollar an hour”. He said the idea in requesting the increase was be- nuse in the near future there would be Federal Gvverninent contracts to be filled hue and the wage rate prevailing 'in the city would be used. He had asked the two candidates who will contest the Federal by- eloction in Queens to be present and make their stand known be. fore they get to Ottawa. Both Cecil Miller, Liberal candidate, and J. Angus McLean, Progress- ive Conservative were present. Mr. Miller spoke only briefly, but Wing Commander Ma.cl.ean dealt at length with conditions here. He congratulated the L.P.U. on its efforts to raise wages generally and expressed the opinion every working man should belong to a union or have a union to bargain for him. He said wages were lower here because Prince Edward Is- land has long been a depressed Ri'0I- 1'19 pointed to the need of Is- landers supporting local industry and as an example mentioned the lam quantity of bread scld here though baked elsewhere. He at.- tributed the decline in population here to lack oi industry and said young people iltowing up had cnly two choices - to starve or get out. "We need more fight at Ottawa to get fair treatment in ,, .. of industries- here. Maclean added." The building of a new armourles and naval barracks would provide a great deal of em- ployment here. He emghasizcd the need of a marine slip which would provide employment for many men especi- allyin winter and so remove them from the ranks of seasonally un- employed. Speaking of the , con- centraticn of new war industries in the Central Provinces in the last war he said "There will be mililcns of dollars spent again and if I am in a position to do so 1 will see that we get a lcok-in." Mr. Miller spoke of his own former labor union affiliation and 101d the Bathering that when union .-THE GUARDIAN.

Representatives of several local unions spoke briefly. of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway employees stated wages were tco low here. mentioning the Four Freedoms be recited them and said he doubted that any man receiving only so cents an hour had real Freedom from want. He warned that every country which had reduced the standard oi living of its people is a hotbed of Com- munism. The only wly to beat communism. he said, was to give the average man enough to eat and wear. Jack Brown. of the Internation- al Brotherhood of Electrical Work- ers. said there should be more trade unions in Charlottetown as it was the only way to raise wages. He added "Both our leaders are apparently anti lsbcr. They talk about farmers, not the labouring man. We need. a Minister of Labor." other union men heard briefly included Henry Gauthier, Packing House Workers of America, and Clifford Murphy, financial secret- ary of he I... P. U. - Arthur Gormley. City Councillo for Weird 1, and a member of the LP.U., said he was surprised when the council recently increased the hourly rate from 55 cents to 60. He had not known it was to be dcne and expressed the opinion that "the city Council should con- duct its business in the open". He disapproved oi "four or five men” hcidirrg caucus meetings and de- ciding things. "Questions oi im- pcrtance to citizens should not be decided by a few." He spoke of the salary being paid members cf the Assessment Board. None of the Council had dissented, but they objected. he said to giving casual labourers more mcncy. He agreed that "We should have a Labor Minister in our Govemment." The chairman thought the time was opportune icr bringing pres- sure to bear on Ottawa for a marine slip and in addition we should have some war industries. Referring to Provincial and Civic governments, he said "We have a man at the head of government who has been death on labor since he went in and apparently the Mayor is following him." Mr. P. R. Mcormac agreed with other speakers that wages should be higher. He said the City Coun- cil makes donatlona to organizat- ions."We are not paying taxes for that. The money should be spent cn lai:-:r."

"And pursuant to the powers conferred on the said Corpora- tion a shipping business, known as the Newfoundland Shipping Ser- vice, Prince Edward island indus- trial Corporation was established, and a ship known as the M.

Mr. Mathieson said that the charges may be true or false. but that it was his duty as a member to pre- sent them. Hon. A. W. Matheson said the relevant factsgwould be required, and that the alleged actions ap- parently occurred a nsiderablc time ago. ”The contents suggest that the matter is rather serious." he said. "This is the first knowl- edge the Government has had about the change." He agreed that it should be looked into at the earliest possible opportunity. "This alleged happenin-g cer- tainly comes as a complete our- prise to me," said Attorney Gen- eral Darby. "l'his charge is of a very serious misconduct. They could have come to my Depart- ment and have the matter dealt with, and if anything like this happened the Government would conduct an investigation." He added that a Commrisslon wouid'1Te'"5ip"pointed immediately to inquire into the charges. Asked by Mr. Dougald Mec- Kinnon when he received the in- formation about the charges, Mr. lilalihleson said he only obtained the reliable information Monday. Mr. Maclfinnon commended Mr. ldathieson for his action. The charges were serious and the Gov- -rninent should take every step to see that the perpetrators. if guilty, were prosecuted to the limit. By mutual agreement. it was de- cided to awlit the findings of the 1'' 'ieioii to be appointed as in- ihnsted by the Attorney General. PIAISII . C0-OPS.

March 29 -(Thursday) -(CPI-Allied forces on the Korean front Wednesday edged closer to new Red defences from which the enemy may loose a spring offensive. Patrols moved near parallel as behind artillery fire. south Korean troops were six miles inside Communist North Korea on the east coast, but that sector was considered relatively minor. The bulk of Chinese and Korean Red manpower was on the central and western fronts. No big Allied gains in those sectors have been reported since last week. The comparative lull rc- vivcd speculation of peace talks. Rumors of "a big deal" swept along the Ginsa-Tokyo's broad- way. But the ominous massing of Chinese on the central front and the U. 5. Eighth Army's cautious advance appeared a preliminary to icrce spring battles-perhaps a matsive Red attempt to crack the United Nations line. Murder Case Before Grand Jury in ii.S. HALIFAX.

Mr. Baker replied that this was the plan and the Premier stated that dairy bulls should be bonused more than beef bulls as farmers in order to make a living would need three times as many beef animals as dairy cattle. "Why, a dairy bull will bring more on the market than a beef bull." he stated. "A Holstein bull on the Toronto market brings two cents a pound more than a short- horn bull." He pointed out that a dairy cow could provide a farmer with thir- teen calves while a beef animal is taken to the market and slaughter- ed. This Province is pre-eminently a. dairy country according to the opinion of the experts at Ottawa. Mr. Bell replied that Holstein beef was of poor quality. "if you want Holstein beef, go to the mar- ket and open up is can of spam." he said: "if you want Bhorthorn beef go to the market." Premier Jones suggested that breeds should be bonused accord- ing to the number of animals in the breed. There are more Hoisteins in Canada than all the rest of the dairy breeds and the shorthorns put together, he stated. I-le strongly recommended the soil analysis of land by every farm- er. Every farmsr should have an examination of his land and know its P-H. he stated. If it is below re- quirement, enough lime should be added to bring up the P-H so that they will be able to increase their crop production. ' Deserving Officials Larger salary increases of several agricultural officials were recom- mended by the Opposition. Mr. Phillip Matheson urged a bigger irr- crease for the Deputy Minister; Mr. R. L. Burge stated the Dairy Sup- erintendent deservcd a. higher sal- nry; and Mr. RR. Bell stated that the field promoter and soil analyst were performing duties worthy of higher salaries. Mr. Matheson stated that the De- puty Minister had served the Prov- ince for years and acquitted him- self very capably but he was receiv- ing a salary considerablly lower than some of the other ministers. Mr. ILL. Burge asked that con- sideration be given to increasing the grant to the annual Eastern Kings Exhibition at Souris. Noting that 31.500 were set aside for the Exhibition, he stated that the event was becoming such a large affair that more assistance would be needed. . The Exhibition was open to all Kings County and was getting larg- er each year, he stated. It was the second biggest exhibition in the Province and in cattle and sheep he believed it surpassed the Provincial Exhibition. A grant for the Queen's County Plowing Match was requested by Mr. Dougald MacKinnon. Mr. R.R Bell also requested the grant, start- ing ,iokingiy that he had promised it to them for 1951.

Mr. Mathieson maintained that the , '" was 1 while pointing out that the De- puty was quite valuable to the Government and undoubtedly had saved them money by his pre- paration of briefs. He stated that crime was not on the increase in the Province and he never dreamed that a Deputy Attorney General would be needed' to do an Attorney Generai's job. "You say he is to make a con- solidation of the statutes in 1951. The same thing was said last year. it is not a job for one man and I submit that it is im- possible for one man to do it. The only proper way to do it is to appoint is commission." can assure the honorable member that if he has any con- ception of the administration of the Attorney General's depart- ment that a deputy minister is ecsssary," countered Mr. Darby. "There is lots to be done; work on deeds. briefs for commissions and appeals. We are a little past the stage in Government here than we were 20 years ago. "The statutes are being con- solidated. You say it can not be done by one man. it is being done and done well. You said that we should appoint three Commissioners, we have appoint- ed one.-the Deputy Attorney General without salary." "What we will have is the laws of the land according to one man's say so," replied Mr. Math- ieson. "You've got to go back over laws for 175 years. You saw the dreadful mistakes of one man's say-so in is consolidation of the laws in 1939-40. One of them put our law backwards for 100 years." Few other points were raised on the estimates for the Depart- ment. Mr. R. L. Burge asked for assurance that unsanitary condi- tions in the King's County jail at Georgetown would be disper- sed with nnd Dr. MacMillan com- mended an increase in the sal- aries of the sheriffs.
