Unemployment Continued from page B Brunswick. ” ' 1 mnploymegr officials at Moncton. who are in touch with the employment situa- tion all over tbs Maritlines. have issued a caution to unemployed persons about proceeding to this job on me chance of securing work. There are several thousa.nd' people idle in New such town at Munc- -5- ton. Saint John. all of whom are available for work on the Camp Gagetown project. The Rcgionsl officials point art that if vacancies did exist at the camp. the idle man in New Bruns- wick of course would be first choice. - In every town in the Maritimea, there are more than enough idle men to fill any local job which becomes vacant It is understood that tho situation in Upper Can- ada is very much the suns. Large numbers of men flock to the cities each year as the cold weather ap- proaches. and there is always a surplus of labour. during the win- ter months. The movement of man to Inb- rador has Ibo stopped. and it is not oxpectcd that any more men will be sent in that region until next Spring.

Engineers Hold Social Evening -The December meeting of the Prince Edward Island branch of the Erigineerlng Institute of Can- ada was held in Summerside on Wednesday evening at Howards Restaumnt and was in the nature of a social evening atterided by members of the organization from various parts of the Province. In addition to the Island members, Mr.. Eh-ic Mercer of Newfoundland was also present and acted as chairman for the evening and in- troduced the speaker, the Hon. Walter E. Darby. attorney general and provincial treasurer. who in a most interesting and informal manner gave a talk on his recent trip to the United Kingdom where he appeared as one of the attorn- eys before the Privy Council. a case before that court centering around an appeal of the Canadian Provinces inlvolving control of trans-border traffic on Canadian hiohwiiva. After diemribing the procedure of the Privy Council. a descrip- tion which i.n itself was an educa- tion to those present, he went on to give his impressions of the historic sites he had been privilqad to visit while in London andPai-is. I-Ietoldofhishcur of the Tower of Ixmdon. the fa- mous school of Eton, his impres- sions of the educational system in the United Kingdom, where sou- denta with limited means, having attained a certain degree of edu- cation through their own personal merits, are enabled to obtain fin- ancial aid from the government to complete their degrees and en- ter any profession they are fitted for. While in England Mr. and Mrs. Darby had paid a visit to the home of Shakespeare at Stratford on Avon and also the cottage of A.nn.I-iathawny. He said they were not able to inspect the interior of these as they were closed for the season at that time of the year. In A vivid manner he told of thsir trip to Paris where on a visit to the Louvre they had spent an all iioo lhort a time viewing the marvels in ssulpture, paintingand architecture can diqilay there. Mir.Darbyeaiditistobsre- grettad that more peoples of the world are notable to see a.nd ad- rnrlre these great metropolitan cen- tns but at the suns time he felt a great sense of relief in hlshoine comirg and that although he had been privileged to see many great wonders of art, paiming and sculpture he had always ssaned to feel "hunched in" while there and had only lost that feeling on re- tum to his native land-Canada.

Continued from page 1 rats increase for the company and emphasised no union's feeling that the wage increase sought and the .40-hour week could be financed from the present revenues of the company. He told of meeting Mr. Mscxay in tho labia": Halifax office and was told the local company could not grant the 40-hour week not- withstan” that it was in effect in the Maritime Telephone and Telegraph Company. He noted a complaint that Halifax employees were used hora during the cut- over to the dial system and they only worked five days while Island employees on the same job work- ed five snd one-half days. On one point of the wage dis- aueemsnt he pointed out that an employee must work 145 months before he received top pay for his group. In other parts of Canada. he said, it was as low as 04 months while the Maritime T. and T. em- ployee: only had to work 100 months. He also compared the wage rats: received here with those of the other Maritime Provinces as well as Ontario, Manitoba. Sask- atchewan, Alberta and British Col- umbia. In addition he said all of them were on five day week. Arbitration Boards Mr. Tracy said there were many other employees in this city enjoy- ing the five-day week and citcd several instances. He said the union had accepted the decision of the arbitration board, but it had been turned down by Mr. MacKay. He thought the company could establish it here as it would mean adding only a small number of men to the payroll. rl-le thought that the releasing of to operators last summer indicated the financial statement as contained in the an- nual report was not a true picture at this time. He claimed that subscriber rates here were higher than in compar- able compnnies elsewhere and the wages are lower. Mr. Tracy also stated he had been told by Mr. Macxsy that the latter would grant a higher increase if the union would appear before the Commission in support of a rate increase. However. he said he refused as he thought it could be done on the present rates. Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell asked briefly regarding the comparison with the lower rates in Alberta. Mr. Tracy said it was Government owned. Mr. Campbell remarked per- haps we. can expect things to be free in Alberta as it is rapidly be- coming Cariadals richest province. Bell Telephone Co. Mr. Campbell referred to an- other company mentioned .by the witness, Bell Telephone. and thought the reference might lead to a conclusion opposite to the one sought. He suggested that if their rates were lower than ours, in an area of denser population, it might be because that is "all the traffic can bear". He said his object was to see "that we don't impose on our farmers and fishermen more than the traffic will bear. If,wg do the, use of telephones becomes less." He added that this might tend to re- sult in deterioration of the service through loss of subscribers. Mr. Tracy replied that in citing the Bell Company he had also said that while their rates were lower their wages were higher. Mr. Campbell suggested that perhaps the situation should be compared to that of freight rates where special ones were in effect due to the geographical position of the Maritimcs. Mr. Campbell asked if witness would suggest that the population of Prince Edward Island in general should get a five-day week. The answer received was probably not when "we get into agriculture." but he thought that situation was the same across Canada. and added that in Ontario it was found the farm- er: were not putting in a five day week because of being snowbound in winter when thcy did nothing. Mr. Campbell asked if Mr. Tracy thought his plant men were work- lng hsrdu than the farmers here. and reminded him that the soon- gmy of this Province and the source from which the wages of his mer. came was the pockets of the farm- ers. Farming Conditions Mr. A. W. Gaudet asked the wit- ness if any study of alarming con- ditions here had been made and was answered in the negative. He also liked the basis for making the wage increase request and was told it was the financial statement in the annual report of the company. Mr. R. W. Manning inquired as to how many men it would take. added to the payroll. to put. in the five-day week. He was told the the company said five more would be 0 " but the ,' mm- oained they were five men short now. . Mr. Tracy said the five and one- half day week was economically unsound. The run worked from 8 to in on Saturday morning and that rsvpresentsd only a waste of time as by the time they loaded the truck, went where they were going. unloaded the truck again it was time to start for home. He stated the company office workers were only working about 80 hours now." Quouionsd on technical financial matter: he claimed the adjulunent in income taxes had made a bit difference in British Columbia where N company had been able to diqscnas with s. granted In- ereau in rates. ” Union Membership In answer to a question by Mr. Allison Gulls he said that all men excepting office workers were elig- ible to join the union and over 90 per cent now belonged. He said they have the eheckoff systcm for coliecting dues. . Mr. Giilis also asked relative to the possibility of an increase in rates causing subscribers to stop the service. Mr. Tracy said there might be but he was not prepared to any as-some companies used that as an argument. However. he expressed the neiisruiot moat tole- ohnnaa wars in Charlottetown and Doyle. general manager Planned For S'side Y's Men's Club Meeting Allison Mad.-:a: was of the regular weekly meeting of :t.:'.'":'.'3.r'Z.?::.'...""..:.L""..:t able in izhst there has been a per- at three out of the mersidc, was present.

Y's George Meikle reported pro- gress on the erection of the nativ- in scene and exipremed confidence that the project will be completed in time for Christmas.

Bummerside and not in rural areas. Mr. Gillis also made reference to recent efforts of a shipping firm to sell its ships due to union de- mands and thought that in the end the matter had been harmful to the union. Ming Tracy replied that "we are abiding by the laws. not breaking them." He stated the union was abiding by the decision of the arbi- tration board comprised of "three respected men of this city." He maintained that the layoff of 40 girls meant that the payroll was now not so great as before. When Mr. Giliis brought out the point that wages and income generally are lower here than elsewhere in Canada and asked if instituting I. five-dey'week in other places had resulted in higher rates he was told the witness was not sure. Judge Trainor interposed to ask if Mr. Tracy believed a worker's efficiency lessens after five days. He was told that efficiency in- creased after five days but n great deal depended on the type of work and the strain on the worker. ' Mr. Doyle'nfEvldanca First witness for the company introduced by Mr. Bell was Mr. F. of the company here for 24 years. He was in a position to give information as to the tables which had been prepared for the company brief. He said none of the preferred shares nor the 80,000 common shares were owned by the Mari- time Tel. and Tel, but later under cross-examination by Mr. Tracy said thati the latter company own- ad the Maritime Utilities Company which in turn owned the Island Company. . His testimony was largely of a highly technical nature as he was questioned by Mr. Richardson. How1 ever. he said he did not anticipate any external financing this com- ing year as it was expected to re- ceive capital for expenditures from the sale of salvage material and depreciation account. He did not know how much the salvage would amount to but believed it would be a small amount. He stated that the only source of revenue of the Island Telephone Company is what the subscribers pay. He did not t.hink the Mari- time Tel. and Tel. should subsidize the local company as the Nova Bcotia subscribers should pay only for the service they received. At a rats hearing in the letter Prov- ince questions were asked regard- ing the-Island contract. Mr. Roland Mac nsld. president of the P. E. I. Fed ation of Agri- culture. did not. wish to answer a question regarding the effect of in- creased roles, but was told he might answer in his private capac- ity. As such he stated that any raise in telephone rates would be P: A d to by the rural population of the Province. Mr. Mscbomld was called as a witness when it was announced he had to leave the hearing and Mr. Doyle temporarily stepped down. Low Potato Pl-lees Ha wished to present to the Com- mission a picture of agricultural conditions pertaining to the potato, livestock and poultry rrsrksts. Ask- ed by Mr. Bell as in the effect on farm income of the present low prices for potatoes he said that farmers were not able to meet their obligations to companies asl- Iing machinery and as a result the latter were going out of business here. Livestock pi-less he stated had dropped approximately 00 per cent in the past two years and quoted price lists for that period to prove his point. Recalled to the stand Mr. Doyle was asked by Mr. Gnudet regarding the decrease in tall charges receiv- ed by the small rural companies. He replied that he was not pre- pared to give a reason but admit- ted there was A great drop in the number with 10,000 fewer this year as compared to 1932. Asked if his company suspected that this loss was tied up with potatoes he said it did and if the trend continued he could not say what the ultimate re- sult would be. In reply to several question;-I formerly controller and as such was- Operation gB1ue-Spud Week-end -"Operation Blue-Spud”. the first test and training exercise of the newly organized Ground on- server Corps in Prince Edward Island and Nova Bcotia, will be carried out this Sunday. December lath. All observation posts in P. l:. I. and N. S. will be Jctivatcd this Sunday between the hours of 11.00 a.m. and 7.00 pm. The last few hours of this par- iod will give observers A chance to see what they can do with ob- serving during the hours of dark- ness, and all types of aircraft, in- cluding Jets. are scheduled to take part in the program. Originally it. had been planned to have the aircraft travel infor- mations of two or more planes. and single aircraft were not to be reported. However. because of a search program underway sifthe present time these plans were changed yesterday. and the ob- servers are nowrequestted to report every aircraft observed. Most civilian members of the Ground Observer Corps have work which they are unable to leave during week days. For this reason "Operation Blue-Spud" has been scheduled for a Sunday as that is the only day of the week on which the majority of volunteers will have t-he free time to devote to manning observation posts and staffing the filter centre. The name "Operation Blue- spud” was chosen as this is the first exercise in which Nova Scotla an-'i P. E. I. will be woi'k'ing to- gether; the "blue" was selected from the term "blue-nose." for Nmia Scotians and combined with the often heard term of "spud Island” for P. E. I. Ground Observer Corps posts are located approximately seven miles apart throughout P. E. 1., and are manned by volunteer observers who. by telephone or other meth- ods. raport specific information in regard to all aircraft observed. These reports are made directly to the control or filter centre at Trurc. N. S.. where the reports are evaluated. and the direction and speed of the aircraft quickly plot- ted. '.tihe Ground Observer Corps is an extremely important link in the program of civil defence. Throughout t.his Province there are five regional supervisors and fifty-three chief observers. Each chief observer recruits as many observers as possible in his area. The Ground Observer Corps is composed mainly of unpaid civil- ian voiuntcers organized. adminis- tered. and trained by regular R. C. A.F. officers. It is set up to obtain informa- tion for the air d ' sy of Canada. utilizing civilian ground observers to report the movement of enemy or friendly aircraft. To protect the country from aa- ial attack. Canada has established squadrons of fighter aircraft These require early warning of- the approach of enemtv aircraft so that these fighters can intercept the attackers before they reach their target. Canada and the U. 8. have provided a radar network to give this early waming. but because of weaknesses of radar. such as its inability to detect low- fiying aircraft. and because of the prohibitive cost of establishing enough rodnr dies to give full coverage the Ground Observer Corps is the all important organ- ization that fills the gap. he said that sxperienca had shown a 40-hour week increases the staff: that there was no change in their accounting system; and they do not anticipate an increase in cancel expenditures as he believed the budget would be extremely law. He also described the system of ap- prenticeship in use and educational requirements asked. Educational Requirements Mr. MacK.ny. president of the local company. said he had been associated with it since its in- caption. tional requirements asked of the apprentices and said they tried to obtain youths with Grade 12 but failing that Grade 11 for inside men and Grade 10 for outside workers. Judge Trainor asked him to file a statement on the educa- tional attainments of employees here as the Commission was inur- ested in the matter. He promised to do so. He stated his company tried to pay wages better than those gen- erally obtainable in this Province. He said the company received no subsidy from outside the Island and that he received no salary from the local company nor did other officers appearing with him. Asked for his opinion on grant- ing increases to any one group he said he thought a wage scale Ap- piying to one should apply to all. "We. can't. play favorites". he said. as htvhnstcned to add that he had no objections to unions. About income from toll charges he gathered from a report of A meeting in Bridgetown that Island rural conditions were "grim". If this be true, he said. he felt that the company might be ovsr-optira- istic in the eatimats of toll income as they are very jusceptible to local conditions; more so than local calls. .
