I ing, M.P., that the government wa§
going to maintain freight subsidies
for this current crop year. Mr. Glaz
ier, one of the members of the fed
eration, said that he thought the
farmers should form producers co
operatives to give both the con
sumer and the farmer a fair deal.
The resolution was passed unanl-
mously.
A third resolution was presented
by W. R. Lobb, vice-president of the

The
ed upon the Dominion government
to take immediate action to. nego
tiate a settlement between employ*
ee and employer and have them re
sume work immediately because of
the great loss being caused to the
livestock producer.
This last resolution was passed
and the meeting was adjourned. W.
M. Golding, M.P., will be given a
copy of the third resoluition to be
presented to the Federal House
while copies of the first two reso
lutions will be given to Dr. Hobbs
Taylor and J. Hannah to be pre
sented at Queen's Park. All three
members of the governments have
expressed their sympathy with the
farmers and promise to do whatever
they can in settling the serious'
situation which has arisen,
The Huron Federation of Agri
culture held a meeting in Clinton
Town Hall to protest against the
manner in which the meat packers’
sttike has been handled, and to pro
test against the unsatisfactory con
ditions affecting the supply of feed
grain in the country. The meeting
was called by the secretary of the
federation, V. Roy of Londesboro,
and was presided over by its presi
dent, Russel Bolton, R.R. I, Dublin.
Among those at the meeting were
Dr. Hobbs Taylor, M.PHL for South
Huron, J. Hannah, M.P.P. for North
Huron, and W. M< Golding, M.P.
for South Huron.
A resolution was presented by
William Turnbull and A. Irwin stat
ing that since they are led
lieve that the meat packers'
is illegal, the farmers of
County protest the lack of
on the part of the Ontario govern
ment, and demand that the Ontario
government take immediate action
to end the present deadlock by en
forcing the law or turning the mat
ter over to the Dominion govern
ment as a national emergency.
An amendment was then added
to the resolution adding that copies
of the resolution be given to Dr.
Hobbs Taylor and J. Hannah to
take to Toronto to ascertain if the
strike is illegal or not.
One of the members of the feder
ation declared that the strike was
costing the hog producers $10,000
per day in Ontario. Mr. Granger
from Stanley Township remarked
that the time had come when the
individuals must take the initiative
since there seemed to be a lack of
leadership in settling the dispute.
Upon voting, the resolution plus the
amendment was passed unanimous
ly.
The second resolution introduced
by Mr. R, McKercher of Seaforth,
was with regard to feed grain com
ing from Western Canada. It point
ed out that since there was un
certainty as to the future price
structure of feed grains owing to
rumors of the discontinuance on
freight subsidies and the removal of
price ceilings on these grains, this
uncertainty was undermining con
fidence of the producers of live
stock and livestock products to such
an extent that there is a marked
liquidation of breeding stock. The
Huron County Federation of Agri
culture therefore demanded that
the Dominion government make a
definite and clear-cut statement as
to its feed grain policy for the cur
rent crop year ending July 30th,
1948.
It was made clear by W. H. Gold-
to be-
