HospitaLi Farm Federation Watching Strike Situation Closely The present strike in Maritime packing plants will mean a crit- ltcal Blow to Prince Edward Isl- and hog producers if settlement is not reached within a very few days. This was the decision reach- ed at a special meeting of the Prince Edward Island Federation of Agriculture called Saturday to consider the crisis from the farm- ers’ standpoint. Eighteen members of the twen-_ ty-one man board were present and discussed local conditions and the Provincial circumstances from a national viewpoint. The Canad- ian Federation of Agriculture of- fice was contacted and asked to do everything in its power to have a settlement hegotiated. In the meantime the Provincial Fed- eration is making every effort to bring about necessary negotiations and settlement. Provincial Government authori- ties were contacted and requested to call a meeting of the Govern- ment along with representatives of the- Farmers’ Federation, Local Union 282 officials and the local packing plant management. It was the opinion of the meeting that local authorities should im- mediately take action toward reaching a settlement in the int- erests of Island producers and consumers. Wires have also been sent from the Federation to the Federal De- partment of Labour advising them of the critical marketing tie-up in this Province and urging that special measures be adopted aim- ing st prompt settlement. Should negotiations fail and the strike be prolonged. special ar- rangements are being contemplat- ed for the merit of small slaughtering plants, where feasible, throughout the Province. Sanitation inspection ls being requested to make this pro- ject permissable. Those present stated that farm- ers can be assured that their org- anlzation is giving consideration to the present crisis and taking all possible steps toward protect- ing their interests.

Caught Wlsest Means Mr. Davies said he was fiqt 0P- pgggd 19 lhe spirit WhlOh fllOt-Vflwd the introduction of such a resolu- .1105, 3e was nniy ccncemed with finding the most effective and constructive means whereby the aims pf the Federation could b0 ltifiblflpiiiihzfi. I-Ie was willing to admit that more liquor was sold today by the Government then st any previous time in the history of the Prov- ince. However, he would like to point out that most doctors, Pfe- viom to the passing of the Cullen amendment. hsd had an almost un- limited number of script! I-Ild ihlf there was more moonshine sold undel- lhe old Prohibition law than was being sold at present. Never- theless, Mr. Davies concluded, he [was only giving his own opinion. tie body of Christian men and a THE_ CHARLOTTETOWN __GUARDIAN and it was their decision I-nd not his opinion which would be acted upon. Rev. W.I. Green, in introducing his resolution, said the Govern- ment was not interested in the moral side of the problem. "Accid- Qnl-o". he said. “do not impress them. Crimes, even nllurders, do not make them think. They are Only interested in s larger income frccn this traffic and the larger the sales, the better they are pleased. "Why did they dare to bring in this amendment? Why did they risk it? _They are all understand- ing men. They risked putting the amendment on the statute books because they knew the Church would make no row about it. They had had other experiences by which to guide their conduct. "It is true. as some one has said, that on the face oi it at least, the plebiscite taken some years ago on the Prohibition question ghgwed an overwhelming victory for the cause 0! Prohibition. But the members of the present Government knew when they introduced the amend. rnent that the majority of those who had voted for Prohibition at the plebiscite did not mean wihat they said. that they voted Prohib- lticn with the belief that the Gov- ernment. was not sincere and that they could obtain liquor if they so desired. Church Not Interested "There is another reason wily the Government felt safe in intro- duping the amendment. That rea- son is that the Church, as a whole, is not interested in Prohibition. Only a handful of the Church really cares." Mr. Green said he was in favour of the teaching of temper- ance in the schools but that the qucstionrd Government did not want it be-i lwheiher the American people went- cause they know what it would do‘ to their liquor business. Hundreds of young men in the Province c:uld not. stop drinking any more than they could change the colour of itheir eyes. That condition c-f af- Qfalrs is widely known; trite Church _ has tolerated it, has put up with it |1nllSmilch as it has not spoken against the traffic uvlth a unified voice. , Rev. E.J. Barres, speaking on |"Conditiori:, in Prince Edward Is- [ land”, said it was easy to point out .the mistakes made by legislators {but it was not so easy to provide a remedy which would prove ef- fective against those misukes. In looking over the temperance situa- tion, Mr. Barres said he had found three things which were “disheart- ening." The first was the attitude of the Government toward temperance. "I am not speaking", Mr. Barres ‘said, "from the political point of view, (or i: nnotiher party were in - power, things might not be any better. But. I think, that "we as a democratic people, have the right to expect the Government to obey the will of the people whose serv- ants they are. The people have never left any room for doubt as to where they stand on the tem- perance question. opportunity of expressing their opifilOll on the Prohibition law, they sustained it. But not long ago the Government, without consult- ing the people, passed an amend- ment to that law which has made Prince Edward Island the laugh- lng-stoak of the world. In Greater Quantities "The second disheartening fact- or is the very obvious power of the liquor interests. They are rlth, and they have spent and are spending ' money like water in advertising their wares. They have liquor to _sell and they are selling it in quan- | titles vastly greater than the quan- tities they sold in the past. ‘Itiey are able to put largo sums into po- litical campaigns. Before the pass- ing of the Cullen amendment, the liquor interests encouraged the dis- 'aemlnatlon of the propaganda that any change in the liquor laws oi the hovinoe would he e diange for the better, and so the change has been-for them. Since the new amendment became legal the liquor sales in this province have Jump- ed to astronomical proportions. “But despite the increased sales of legal liquor, the sale of illegal liquor continues. The police are finding it every day in Charlotte. town and Slrmcnerside and, in line meantime, the deaths caused by accidents involving the use of liq. uor on the higlvways are on the in- crease. "The thlrd disheartening feature ts the indifference of Christian men s-nd women to the evil. It is a dif- ficult thing to get people interezt- ed in the cause of temperance, "The heartening thing 15 mat there is beginning to be an awak. ening of the people's moral con. sciousness, They are beginning to wonder wlhere the present condi- U00 l5 80in‘; io lead. Many are be- coming afraid as they learn or the millions now being spent in‘ the Province on liquor and that (eni- flfiwllhtl, at least in part. for the rapidly increasing membership of the T017199!‘ nce Federation." Mrs. J’. H. lllocFarlane, Bedeque, "'0 Wmilerance education in the schools might be a comparatively slolv remedy for the liquor evil but it would be an effective one. In Saskatchewan the Government was encouraging the practice of tem- perance with all possible vigor but despite t-he Government-sponsored campaign. authorities in that Prov- lnoe did not believe the poople would be ready for Prohibition fcr at least ten years. Mr. J. H. MacFarlane, who for the eighth consecutive year, was elected presE-clent of the Federation. delivered a brief report in which he said that the Government liq- uor store in Alberton was a “iicr- rible nightmare." The one ‘in Sum. merside was also creating great havoc to the moral welfare of that com-munlty. He did not know what action the Federation proposed to take, but he assured the gathering he would gilve his bent efforts to- ward furthering the efforts of the Federation. Mr. MacFairlane thanked The Guardian for the large amount of space it gave free to the promotion of temperance education and also thanked t-he Rev. S, J.

Between January and June, inclusive, farmers of one province sold 814,663,000 worth of agricultural products compared with $13,366,000 last year. Increased returns from the sale of hogs, poultry and eggs were re- sponsible for the greater flow of cash into farmers’ pockets.
