THE i ?TRON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTH,
and that the public has a right to
expect that in its endeavor to uphold
the law and secure uninterrupted op-
eration of railway and mining activi-
ties, the govenment may count upon
the co-operation of employing com-
panies and employees alike. Under
the circumstances it is the hope of my
colleagues and myself that the rail-
way companies will accept without
further question the opinion of the
Department of ,Justice with respect
to the interpretation of Section 57 of
the Industrial Disputes Investigation
Act, and immediately restore condi-
tions relative to wages -so as to re-
move any question as to a full com-
pliance with the intention of the Act.
"I should perhaps add, Mr. King
continued, that having been waited
upon by a deputation representative
of the employees concerned, I have
assured them that the government
Friday, August 25, 1922 will not hesitate to exert its full in-
fluence and power to see that the
PARLIAMENTARY LETTER.
The week has seen some interesting
developements; steps have been taken
in the coal -mining and railroading
disputes, and also in the matter of
the Canadian Wheat Board which
have been of more than passing im-
portance. These three questions,
probably the most important, each in
its own way, that have cropped up
during recent weeks, have been the
subject of close attention by the
government. In all of them the mat-
ter at stake was so important that
the Prime Minister himself has been
giving the problems his own personal
attention and doing his best to see
that the public interests were guard-
ed.
* * s s
The railway labor situation appears
to be somewhat relieved as the re-
sult of the action taken by the Prime
Minister and his colleagues. Differ-
ences arose between the railways and
their shopmen employees, as to the
interpretation of the Lemieux Act,
governing industrial disputes and
their arbitration. The employees,and
subsequently the government, on the
opinion of the Department of Jus-
tice, held that the employing company
was not within its rights in reducing
wages and altering working condi-
tions, which were the subject of ar-
bitration before a Board appointed
under the Act. The railway com-
panies, on the other hand, took the
opposite view and not only held that
they could reduce the wages but pro-
ceeded to do so while the Board was
sitting. By this action they precipi-
tated a deadlock before the Board
and brought the Dominion several
steps nearer to a serious tie-up in the •
transportation facilities.
The government immediately took
up the matter in Cabinet Council, as
there was a public interest in the
matter at stake and the Prime Min-
ister wrote to the heads of the three,
Canadian railroads, setting forth the
governments views.
"It must be apparent," Rt. Hon.
Mr. King wrote to the railway ex-
ecutive heads, "that if the parties to
industrial disputes are to he permit-
ted to place their own interpretation
upon Acte of Parliament passed for
the express purpose of avoiding
strikes and lockouts, occasioned by
industrial disputes, and to persist in
a course of action which in the opin-
ion of the law officers of the C'rown
constitutes a direct violation of ex- -
isting legislation, there can he no
guarantee of industrial peace nor in.�
deed of the preservatign of law and
order throughout the Dominion.
"The relations between the railway
companies and their employees and
the eiol mining companies and their
employees in Canada to -day is such
that, given continuous operation of
the mines and railroads through a ,
due regard for the provisions of the
law, the companies concerned and
their employees may do much to re- ,
Sieve the existing situating of some 1
of its most alarming features. A
contrary course on the part of either
of the parties might conceivably pre-
cipitate an industrial situation in
Canada which would greatly aggra-
vate and intensify the unfortunate
consequences of the protested disputes
in the United States.
"The government feels that the
public interest demands its utmost
vigilance in the preservation of in-
dustrial peace in Canada at this time,.
provisions of the law governing in-
dustrial disputes are complied with
by all parties."
• * * *
Before a reply to this letter bad
reached Ottawa, it was announced
that the railways had reduced the
wages of the men in question. The
same evening, however, a reply was
received from the presidents of the
three Canadian Railways accepting
the government's interpretaldon of
the act an8 agreeing to restore wages
to their former place, insofar as the
companies could accept the govern-
ment intrepretation without prejudice
to their case before the arbitration
board.
The result was a breaking of the
deadlock, and a lull in the serious
talk of strikes which was being
heard. The Board is continuing in
the effort to bring about anAdjust-
ment between the men and their em-
ployees, and because of the prompt
and firm action on the part of the
Prime Minister and his colleagues,
the Canadian public are -spared the
losses and inconveniences consequent
upon a nation-wide railway strike.
* * * *
In the Nova Scotia coal mining
situation the result was less satis-
factory, a strike having been declar-
ed by the men within a day of the
announcement that an agreement had
been reached between the operators
and the men's representatives as to
wages and working conditions. There
also the Prime Minister by letters to
the men and their employees, sought
to have them continue at work and
then meet in conference here.
The miners, however, have declar-
ed a strike and at the same time
changed their executive officers. The
situation is heing closely watched
from here and whatever steps may be
taken to bring about peace in the
troubled industrial area will he taken
as the occasion for them arises.
r * * *
In regard to the Wheat Board the
situation is somewhat cloudy. Only
one thing now stands out clearly:
that the western provinces, which
were given all that they asked in
the matter, so far as bhe Federal
Parliament had the power to give it
to them, got the legislation for the
fnrmat.ion of the board and then
could not secure the men to operate
it. They have abandoned the idea
of a wheat hoard for this fall and
advised the Federal Government to
that effect. Rt. Hon. Arther Meighcn
who was interviewed at Portage la
T'rairie, chanted, "i told you so," add-
ing that the King Government had
not given the West what it wanted.
The Prime Minister, on heing advised
of the abandonment of the Wheat.
Board plan, immediately wired the
Premiers of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, asking if there were any steps
the Federal Government could take
to assist the West in the marketing
of its wheat crop. "Will he pleased
to receive any suggestions you may
desire to make as to any way in
which the Federal Government can
en -operate with your Government in
this matter," was the Prime Mini-
ster's offer.
Oficial announcement of the resig-
nation from the Beard of Directors
and from the presidency of the
Grand Trunk Railway of G. Howard
Kelly is another step toward the ap-

WINGHAM
Sudden Death.-Wingham citizens
were shocked to hear early Saturday
morning of the death of Thomas L.
Jobb, one of Wingham'a oldest resi-
dents. Mr. Jobb had a severe sick-
ness a short time ago, but had suf-
ficiently recovered to be able to walk
down town, and Friday seemed as
well as usual. He passed away very
suddenly shortly after retiring for
the night. In July Mr. and Mrs.
Jobb celebrated their golden wedding,
when their children and grandchild-
ren joined with them in .celebrating
the happy event. Besides his sorrow-
ing widow he leaves four sons and
three daughters to mourn his loss.
The deceased took an active interest
in the welfare of the town, as well as
the work of St. Paul's Church, and in
polities was a strong Conservative.
Mr. Jobb was a familiar figure on
our streets and will be much missed
for bis genial and kindly spirit.

Special Church Services. -Sunday
last was what might be termed a
"Red Letter Day" in our churches,
for at the morning service in St.
Paul's Anglican church, the Bishop
of Huron, the Rt. Rev. David Wil-
liams, D.A., consecrated the church
after the improvements made to it,
and in the evening he dedicated it.
At the morning service his Lordship
took for his text, Exodus 14 and 15,
"Speak into the Children of Israel
that they go forward," and at the
evening service his text was found
in 1st Corinthians, 4, 3-4. The Bishop
gave most able and inspiring ser-
mons both morning and evening and
was most attentively listened to by.
large congregations. He emphasized
what service and religion really
meant and stood for in God's eyes
and his earnestness and powerful and
effective presentation of the truth
made a very deep impression on his
hearers. In connection with the
consecrating and dedicating of the
church, he warmly congratulated the
congregation on the raising up of
the church and putting the fine up-
to-date basement under it, which was
80 admirably adapted for carrying
on the church work, and also for all
functions connected with the social
work of the congregation. He said
it was a splendid tribute to the work
and earnestness of the members that
the improvements, costing six hun-
dred dollars or upwards, were nearly
all provided for as nearly all the
work had been done by the members
of the church which spoke for their
earnestness, zeal and liberality. The
service of song in connection with the
service was of a very high order and
added greatly to the interest and
pleasure of the occasion. The fine
church choir, under the leadership of
Professor Anderton, of Exeter, as-
sisted by the Leader of the local choir,
Mr. W. O. Goodman, and Mr. Arthur
Middlemiss, of Exeter, rendered
splendid anthems and sols through-
out both the morning and evening
services. The collections were most
liberal and the services will be long
remembered as most inspiring and
helpful.
-In Carmel Presbyterian Church
at the morning service and also•at
the evening service, the pleasure of
the services were most enhanced by
fine solos rendered by Mr. Paquegnat,
the celebrated basso singer, of Strat-
ford, accompanied by Mr. M. H. Fal -
la, organist and conductor of Queen's
Avenue Presbyterian church, Toron-
to. Both of these gentlemen were
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Drys-
dale and kindly consented to give
their services at Carmel church. Mr.
Paquegnat is a returned soldier and
a splendid singer, and has sung in
nearly all the notable churches and
music halls in the Old Country, as
well as Canada, and wherever he has
sung he carried his audience with
him, being a noted and pleasing sing-
er and the daily papers of all the
cities have been loud in their praise
of his numbers. When herb on Sun-
day last he gave splendid numbers,
such as "Open the Gates of the
Temple," "The Ninety and Nine,"
and other fine solos while the won-
derfully fine manner in which Mr. M.
H. Fella accompanied him on the pipe
organ showed conclusively that he
was a master player, and his playing
was the subject of most flattering re-
marks from all present, so that the
congregation of Carmel Church most
certainly had rich musical treats.
Rev. Mr. Ross, of Hamilton, svho was
preaching during the absehce of the
pastor on his holidays, gave fine,
earnest Gospel sermons, which went
to the hearts of the hearers and
made clear the plan of service and
salvation. Mr. Ross is a very earn-
est speaker and with a little mo
volume of sound would catch the at-
tention of those whose hearing is not
very acute. He will conduct services
on the coming Sunday, the 27th, and
after that the pastor, Rev, Mr. Mc-
ConneIl, will resume his usual ser-
vices morning and evening.
Briefs. -Mr: and Mrs. Bolton, of
Toronto West, have been guests at
the Rectory for the past week, ac-
companied by their daughter and a
lady friend from Teeswater.-Mrs. C.
W, Nicholls, of London, and daugh-
terMiss Rugie, who are camping at
their cottage at Grand Bend, visited
their relatives here this week and on
their return to the Bend this week
were accompanied by Mrs. J. Suther-
land and daughter, to spend a couple
of days. -We learn that a fine musi-
cal concert is to be given in the town
hall in Brucefield on Friday evening
of this week, in which Miss Greta
Laramie, of this village, accompanied
by her friends, Miss Gladys Slay,
soprano soloist and reader, and Miss
Catharine Sells, pianist and accom-
panist, will take part. Miss Gretta
Lammie and Miss Gladys Slay are
both graduates of the Ontario School
for the Blind and are skilled violin-
ists, while Miss Sells is also a gradu-
ate of that school and a most talent-
ed pianist, so that a treat is in store
for the audience. -Our contractors
are making good headway with the
preparatory work for the paving of
our Main Street, and we believe the
paving will be the best done in these
parts judging from the plans and lay
out of the contract. The only thing
to be guarded .against is that the
, tile is put in of sufficient size
guarantee the purpose required, as
once cemented over it would be very
difficult and next to impossible to
take them up and replace by larger
ones. We trust our council will never
proceed on the "penny wise and pound
foolish" practice of putting in too
small tile where large ones are re-
quired, as work well done is a great
satisfaction and commends itself to
all. For good satisfactory work done
they will receive much credit. - Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Jones have rented
rooms in Petty's Block, immediately
west of the Post Office, coming here
from Blyth. -We regret to learn that
Mr. Richard Welsh has again been
most seriously ill during the past
week or so. -Mr, C. A. McDonell re-
ceived a message on Sunday last of
the death of his wife's sister, Mrs.
(Dr.) Wilson, of Parkhill, who has
been ill for some time. Mrs. Mr-
Donell and daughters have been at
the lake near Forest during the past
month or so, and the message was
received by Mr. McDonell here, who
at once left for Parkhill. Our
teachers, who have schools at a
distance and have been spending
their vacation, are preparing very
shortly to resume their duties. -Tho
gravel taken off our Main Street to
make ready for paving, is being used
to good advantage on our back
streets -Mrs. J. McD. Wilson has
been visited during the past week by
her sister, ,Ml's. Mossip, from St.
Marys. -Miss Essery has returned
from her holidays and resumed her
position as saleslady in Mr. Joynt's
store, -Mies Belle Sparks, who has
been visiting her mother, has return-
ed to Brantford. -Mr. and Mra. Alex.
Smith were visited by relatives and
friends on Sunday last. -On Monday
afternoon last Mr. John Taylor, who
is engaged on Dr. Moir's farm, north-
west of the village, met with a very
serious accident. He was unloading
hay in the barn with a hay fork,
when the trip rope broke and he fell
back off the load to the floor. He
was rendered unconscious by the fall. -'
but fortunately no bones were brok-
en, and although badly bruised he is
able to be about again. -Mrs. Thos.
Hudson and daughter, Miss Rena, and
son, Lloyd. are spending a couple of
weeks with relatives and friends in
Detroit.
