The Brussels Post, 1925-7-29, Page 45P r' The High Protectionists versus Facto Official Figure* of import*, Employe anent and Output in Soot and Shoe and Textile Industrie* Refute Pro. eaganda Campaign of Higher Tar, iff Alarmists, A persistent and kation -wide ealn- 1laign of high -protection propaganda is being coneentrated on an effort to represent the woollen, the cotton, and the boot and shoe industries of Can- ada as having been ruined by the operation of the increased British pre- ference under the Mackenzie Icing Government, Facts as to the condi- tion of these industries and the ef- fect upon them of the present pre- ferential tariff indicate that the alarm ists picture of. the high protectionists is very much overdrawn. Allegations that woollen mills, cotton textile plants, and shoe factories are being put out of business and Canadian workers thrown into unemployment through increased competition of Bri- tish greeds are completely refuted. by available records of production, im ports and employment. The Boot and Shoe Industry Figures on the boot and shoe in- dustry are illuminating. For a "ruined" industry it is displaying re- markable vitality. From 1921 to 1023, inclusive, the number of faeL- ories making boots and shoes in Can- ada increased from 177 to 186. The value of the products of these factor- ies rose from $44,665,381 in 1921 to $45,596,012 in 1923. The figure for 1924 has not yet been compiled. The absurdity of the charge that the industry is being despoiled by unjust competition from the Old Country under the preferential tar- iff is shown by a comparsion between imports of boots and shoes from the United Kingdom and home product- ion. Although imports from Great Britain, have increased somewhat un- der the enlarged preference, the total i, not sufficient to affect Canadian manufacturers to any very serious extent. With Canadian production at 545,596,012 in 1923, the British im- ports amounted to only 5604,472. The increase in 1924 left the figure at just slightly over a million dollars, or 51,018,082. At the same time, to offset this in- crease, there has been a decrease in , imports of boots and shoes from the United States. The decrease in 1924 from 1923 was $121,465. The net increase in foreign competition was, therefore, 5292,001 or considerably less than one per cent of the total domestic consumption and a lesser percentage of increase than ohtain.e i l the domestic output. Situation in Woollens and Cottons In woollens and cottons imports are decreasingly steadily and extensively. In the calendar year 1924 Canada bought nearly two million dollars worth less wool and woollen goods than in 1923. Inasmuch as the Brit- ish preference ie blamed for causing disaster to the. Canadian woollen in dustry, it is interesting to note that in woollen goods bought from the United 1(ingdoln there was a decrease of nearly two and e. half million dole lairs in 1$24 as compared with 1923 The figures are; --1923, 535,520, 730; 1924, 533,103,186. At the same time there was a decrease in w oll!en roods purchased from the United States of $556,778. It looks as If an attempt were be- ing made to turn a condition in the woollen industry in the latter part of 1924 common to both the United States and Canada in o n case of dis- tress in the industry in Canada at- tributable to the tariff. However, an examination of the situation in; the industry quickly refute it, Throughout both canaries there was a decline in certain branches of the industry from the middle of 1924 on, B,Y the end of the year and the beginning of 1925 a recovery had tak- en place. Records of employment show 'aa present improvement over 1921, thus indicating a betterment of conditions since the Government came into office. Employment Figures Better Than Under Meighen Government From returns made by some thirty manufacturers of woollen yarns and cloth, employing about 3.250 persons on January 1, 1926, index numbers on employment are computed. Tak- ing the payrolls these manufacturers reported in 1920 as the base equal to 100, the index number for January 1, 1921, stood at 72.7 and for Janu- ary 1 of this year 73.7. The record shows that throughout the first half of 1924 employment in the industry was consistently higher than during the same period in 1921. Thus, in 1924 the index numbers were: Jana • ary 84.9, February 104.6, March 100.6, April 93.2, May 88:8, June 85.4; in 1921 they were: January 72.7, February 78.3, March 77.1,. April 71.1, May 71.7, June 73.6. United States trade reports show a decline in employment in woollen manufacturing during the latter decline in Canada. More significant still are records of domestic production. During years from 1921 to 1923 the Canad- ian production of woollen textiles in- creased enormously. The figures are: 1921, 22,278,880 pounds; 1922, 29,- 062,151 pound::; 1923, 33,472,087 pounds. This is an increase of. 11,- 000,000 pounde in home production in two years. There is a correspond- ing increase in the domestic product- ion of hosiery and knit goods. In 192,2 it. was 44,963,254 pounds and in 1923 47,521,576 pounds. Woollen Industry Grows Statistics for 1924 on the woollen industry have not been t•ompiled, but comparative figures for 1922 and 1923 published by the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics are very signifieant. They show increases in capital invest- ment, in number of workers, and in every other department. The Bureau publishes the following table: I922 Establishments No. 137 Clllpital IMetre trnent.. .... $ 37,102,382 Employee' nn salaries. No, 579 Salaries paid $ 1,286,068 Employees nn wages....

Returns made by. 24 manufacturers of cotton yarn and cloth show that notwithstand ing a depression in the industry not peculiar to this country employment m the amain has been sustained, the figures for each of the twelve months of 1924 comparing not unfavorably with those for every year since 1921. On January 1, 1926, the number on the payrolls of manufacturers re- porting was 16,200; on January 1, 1924, it was 16,171; on the same date in 1923, 16,203; 1922, 15,648; 1921, 13,174. In respect of employment, therefore, the Canadian cotton textile industry is shown to have increased its prosperity during the period the present administration is charged with having ruined it. Cotton Imports Down During the Last Calendar year im- ports of cotton goods into Canada dropped nearly four million dollars --- 53,849,689, to be exact. Imports from the United Kingdom under the British preference were 5538,100 lower than in 1923, while the decrease in imports from the United States wasrTheimports $ 3 564 632. total im of cotton goods for the three years 1922, 1923 and 1924 are: 1922, $39,638,601; 1923, 539,618,370; 1924, $35,768,690. Another evidence of improved eondution in the home industry is the increase ni the pur- chases of raw cotton for manufact- ure here. For the three years the imports were: 1922, $22,455,546; 1923, 530,780,915; 1924, $26,576, '764. In brief, the woollen, the cotton 1923 141 43,148 218 626 1,386.172 8,264 6.687.577 17,677281 38,472,087 Iner'enee over 1922 4 8,045,886 47 100.104 794 782,101 3,817,302 4,409,830 830 15,794,808 592,034 and the boot and shoe industries in Canada have increased in prosperity during the last three years. In the first two industries there has been ap- parent no evil effect from the opera- tion of the British preference, while in the boot and shoe industry the total of British imports is only a million dollars against a steadily in- creased Canadian +production up to nearly forty-six million dollars and a decline in purchase from the United States. U. S. Versus Canadian Conditions. Finally it is to be noted that the whole matter is an economic rather than a tariff problem. If high tar- iffs are the sole solution of industrial prosperity then why does it happen that In the ultra -protectionist, United States the woollen manufacturers have had infinitely more troubles dur- ing the past year or so than the Can- adian w000llen manufacturers haye had? Our own manufacturers have no such tragic story to tell as it told in the following news despatch clip- ped from the Textile Supplement of the Yorkshire Argus under date of February 25th last :— "New York— The American Woollen Company opened its range of fancy worsteds lastat an average of 6.32 per week cent above last year's prices. Presi- dent Pierce, in submitting the com- pany's statement said that the depres- sion in the American woollen industry during 1924 was the worst since the Civil War. The loss of $11,90,000 last year by his concern was the largest deficit experienced in the his- tory of the company, The' operating loss alone amounted to 54,025,000 compared with a profit of 59,320,00 for the previous year.' Subjection of Weeds.—In a state- ment on "Effective Methods of Con- trolling Weeds" Mr. E. S. Hopkins, Dominion Field Husbandman, brings out three salient and important points. The first is that the most ef- fective method of controlling weeds is thorough and frequent cultivation of the land. The second is that the basic principle in killing weeds which have underground root ,stalks is to prevent their sending u top or above ground growth, and the third, the longer the delay in eradicating the weeds the greater the amount of work that will eventually be neces- sitated. One other point made by Mr. Hopkins in giving definite advice as to the subjection of couch grass, mus- tard and other weeds, that cannot be too much emphasized is that it is im- portant to use at all times clean seed grain, clover and grass seed. Placed Under Ban.—Sale of fully 100 patent medicines has been placed wider the ban in Ontario by the pro- vincial board of license commissioners acting in conjunetion with federal suds rities. The medicines and reme- dies affected are triose containing a high percentage of alcohol and not sufficiently medicated to prevent their use as beverages. Their sale by druggists and other vendors has been declared illegal under the Proprietary and Patent Medicine Aet.

Every successful social function must have wise leadership and en- thusiastic co-operation and in this case, the major part of the success was due to the untiring work elf the committee composed of the present teacher, Mise M. Wilton, and a few members of the section. Fully 500 invitations were written and their re- sponse brought visitors or kindly worded regrets from all over our country and many States of, the Un - ton, Every family in the section joined in the wake provisions being made foe every need of the large com- pany. A well furnished booth was in full swing all day and evening. The Mount Forest Pipe Band furnished first class music in generous aneaeure which helped to keep the company in good spirits. The field sporta of Quoits, Football, and Baseball gave amusement to many of the male mem- hers of the company and were held i on the farm of Dr. J. D, Warwick, adjoining the school grounds, who kindly gave their use for the day. Bunting, flags, and other decora- tions testified to the enthuslaism and loyalty of the welcome. As chairman of the day, P. A. Mc- Arthur, an ex -pupil, filled the bill to perfection. His announcements were given in full, clear voice, and his re- marks were timely and well chosen. And last, the luncheon hour was full of that varied and generous se1- ection of the good things of which old No. 3 has always been noted. This glad Re -union will always be a bright spot in the memoryof every- one present and as one of the "Old Boys" said was one of the greatest events in the social life of the com- munity and the hearty hand shake and kindly greetings of our old school nates in such words as "Well Bill or John" or "Mary or Janee— I'm glad to see you" will stay with us for many a day and send us back to the toil and duty of life with a happy spot in our soul, td cheer us for what- ecer fate has in store for us and with our faith ,in humanity strengthened by the kindly, earnest and sympath- etic greetings of those who knew us best; who knew our faults; and loved us just the same. The Teachers of S. S. No. 3 The first school was erected in 1860 and the present school in 1877.

The Highways department have is- sued booklets giving motorists instruc- tions of how to adjust their lights and Re-union—Written by an Ex -pupil One of the most successful reunion picnics of this season was held on the school grounds of Section, No.3, Grey, Huron Co., on Thursday, the 23rd. This section comprises a block of country 3 miles by 2ei in the Town- ship immediately north of the cor- poration of Brussels and has the rare distinction of having its first school building of hewn logs erected in the year 1860, just 6 years after the com- ing of the first settlers to the new un- broken forest. The program for the afternoon consisted of welcome greetings, speeches, solos, special band. music, drills, etc., and last but by no means least, the renewing of friendships of the boys and girls of long ago. It seemed proper and fitting that the welcome words should be given by Alex Stewart, of Brussels, one of the oldest living members of the section, who also added an interesting sketch of the routine of school life and dut- ies and the names of the teachers of those early days. Duncan Ferguson of Stratford, son of the first teacher, in his genial and able manner, gave an interesting speech, followed by John Wallis, of Toronto; Dr. J. W. Shaw, of Clinton, ex -teachers, expressing, the'1 tgreat pleasure at being present. These were followed by Thos, Yuill, of Michigan, U. S. A.; Dr. J. M.

Remember, the road is yours to use, not to abuse—yours to enjoy, not to destroy. The Government and the Counties are building a splendid and extensive system of highways. They are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in maintaining it. If these roads get in poor repair, who's to blame—those who build and maintain them, or those who misuse them ?
