examined the location of the grievance
on boundary, and I found that stones had

g. would recommend that
the Reeve communicate with the Reeve
of Greenock and have the obstruction
removed I also found a part of the road
fenced in and made use of for farming
purposes. I think that this land so used
should be paying a revenue to the Town-

This resolution was passed with but one
dissenting voice: over 130 votes being re•'

Solicitor -General Guth ie received a
warns welcome by the gathering, "I may I
say" he declared, on opening, "that it uas

to -day when 1 learned that it was called
under the auspices of the Conservative
Association, but from the tone of - the

Bowman and myself have never been able
to see into political gttestions alike. I don't
think we ever voted the same way in the
House until last June when and since we
together supported Sir Robert Borden':;
pleasure for winning the war."
Alr. Guthrie declared that not inure than
20 per cent of the people wanted an elec-
tion and then the formation of the Union
Government. "We all know the efforts
made by Sir Robert Borden for months to
gain national Government, of his patience
his many disappointments and his final
success. The Union Goverment might
have been stronger if the official Liberal
party had joined with hint, but this was
not Sir Robert's fault. We know the cor-
respondence that passed between Sir
Robert and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and we
know that Sir 'Wilfrid refused because
of the single word, "conscription," bitt
Sir Robert persevered. and on Saturday
of last week was -formed a coalition, cum -
prising the representatives of the greater
part of the Liberal party."
Mr Guthrie pointed but I hat the for •
nation of a Union Government would
avert a straight patty light which he der -
dared would have divided the nation in
oneof the bitterest,
t tit. political contests in
history The result would halve been
that Red Cross and patriotic fund work
and then the Goverment's efforts in the
war, would have been handicapped. He
pointed out that England, New Zealand.

eral declared that the failure of Quebec
had made the Military Service Act neces-
sary. Had Quebec contributed her share
of hien, he said, there would have been no
, cunecaiption at't in the statute books to-
day, but Quebec supplied only 7,01)0
French-Canadians to the army. "Why

French-Canadians

what the influence is holding them back I
don't know," AIr. Guthrie pointed to the
recruiting figures as compared witli the
casualties to show the extreme gleed of
compulsion.

France in

and he was compelled to bring down the
conscription measure as a necessity. The
people of Ontario are accepting it cheer-
fully and I ane confident will support a
Government which faced a bold question
in a bold way," He declared his belief
tliat this act will rake the required nun-
ber of men.
Mr Guthrie said he had been criticized
by his Liberal friends for his action itt
voting with the Government on the Franc-
hise Act, Conscription and Parliamentary
extension. "But. my conscience went
with tasty vote, "he exclaimed, "My party
knew what I was going to do I tried to
convinre them that I was right but I fail-
ed. Now I sec they are beginning to see

own nomination, he said he had not been
nominated as yet, but he would prefer to
do as Mr. Bowman has done call an open
meeting of his Liberal friends and Conserv-
ative.friends and let them decide.
"Personally," he said, "I have no fear

Lear Sir;
We, the undersigned, wish to draw at-
tention to notice in recent issue of your
paper re Mr. Jesse Button removing to
Wingham; which is somewhat misleading
and possibly might reflect on the. credit of
the present Lucknow Table Co., as those
not acquainted with the situation would
naturally Il
Y suppose
from your statement
that Mr. Jesse Button has, or is drawing
a large share out of the business. In order
that this will be rightly understood we
wish to rnake. the following explanation;
In the year 1007 Mr. John Button gave
AIr. Jesr Batton a share in the business
here without any financial consideration
more than her Jesse Button) received a
Galary out of the busine3s and a share of
the accumulated profits which remained
in the husincs_. '\Vhen ',,1r. Jesse Button
retired from the business, arrangementss
were made with some of the present mem-
bers of the firm to take over any share he
may haNc in it and is otnly payable to Mr.
Jesse Button as the futuxe profits of this
share may permit, let it be large or small.
The removal of Mr. Jesse 'Button from the
business does not interfere with the busi-
tneas financially or otherwise. The future
sticess of the business depends entirely
upon the ratite conditions of trade and

Exemption Boards hare been chosen in such a way as to make them absolutely independent and
removed from all influence. There are over 1,250 boards throughout the country, each composed of two
men, one appointed by the county judge in the district concerned and one selected by a joint committee of
Parliament. Being familiar with local conditions where they sit, the members are well -fitted to appreciate
such reasons for exemption as are put before them by men called up.
Exemption will be granted to those who can establish that it is in the national interest that they remain
in civilian life. This is for the Exemption Board to decide after having received full information in each case.
The grounds on which exemption may be claimed (which are similar to the grounds recognized in
Great Britain and the United States) aro as follows
(a) That it is expedient in the national interest that the man should, instead el being employed in Military Service,be
engaged in other work in which he is habitually engaged.
(b) That it is expedient in the national interest that rho man should, instead of being employed in Military Service, be
engaged i(t other work in which he wishes to be engaged and for which he hes special qualifications.
(c) That it is expedient in the national interest that,inatead of being employed in Military Service, he should continue
to be educated or trained for any work for which he is then being educated and trained.
(d) That serious hardship would ensue if the ratan were placed on ectiva service, Owing to his madeetional Attends' Or

well recognised in Canada at such date, and to which he in good faith belongs.
(1 That he should be exempt because disfranchised under the War Time Election Act.
No Claim for Exetnption should be put forward unless one or other of these grounds in fact exists,
and no loyal titieetn should assist in, or allow himself to be made a party to, any Claim for Exemption unless
thoroughly satisfied that it is made in good faith.
Exemption
may be applied for by � the mer. selected themselves or b> their parents, near relatives or
employers. Application far exemption must be made on printed forma to be found at every post office
which are to be filled in and left with the postmaster if exemption is desired. The postmaster will forwartd
the fort to a Registrar, who will send it to the appropriate Exemption 13oard. In due time, then, the
Applicant will got notice as to when ho roust present his case before the Board.

At the doze of the Civil War, the
Unites estates had a population of
'about 33;000,000. The Union Army
at the time of bee's surrender num-
bered, t than 1,000,000.
b red s1igh ly more q e t o
It was estimated that another mil -
lieu men and women were employed
in the Northern, States in the nianu•
facture of munitions. During the
four year period of the Civil War,
immigration had fallen off, and re-
cruiting had depleted the workers on
the farms, and drawn largely film
the laboring classes in the cities. The
call for munition workers was sup-
plied from other branches of Indus-
try, with the result that ordinary en-
terprises wero compelled to run
short-handed or pay a high premium
for labor.
Compared with this situation, we
find Canada's army of about 400,000
.drawn from a population of about
'8,000,000. It is estimated that some
200,0100 men and women are now en-
gaged in munition work. Only 12%
;of our army, however, has been en.
;listed from the farms and more than
half of the total has been recruited
!from among the skilled and manual
'laborers. The comparison shows the
.same situation regarding the scarcity
of labor for ordinary enterprises, be-
cause of the drain through the army
for overseas forces and munition
workers.
During the Civil War period, wages
gradually increased. Pries of com-
modities also advanced, The laborer,
;inrwever, skilled or unskilled, was
placed at a disadvantage because his
twages did not advance in proportion
!to the prices of necessities. Even
'with this situation, conditions were
better among the mechanics and
o the trades than among h ole •tks and
;salaried people, whose incomes did
'mot advance in proportion to the in.
creased price of living,
InaWhen the Union Army started to
uster out in 1865 at the rate of
about 300,000 per month for the three
summer months, there was for a time
a glut of the labor market. This
was but temporary, however, as 1866
Witnessed an active industrial and
agricultural revival. The returning
soldiers, a large percentage of whom
thad
volunteered
from the farmingmin
a
districts, went back to producing or
migrated to the homestead lands in
the newly opened Mississippi Valley
States. This wholesale homestead -
ring brought demands for new rail.
.ways; more than 15:000 miles of rails
were laid in the west during the five
years directly following the war.
This railway work took up quantities
for labor front the eastern centres and
assisted to a marked degree the set-
tlers who had' gone into the new
icountry without sufficient funds to
lde them through the breaking and
rowing seasons of the first years.
The first annual report of the
'United States Commissioner of Labor
published in 1886, summarizes the
re -construction period, as follows:
"The year 1867 can hardly be call-
ed one of financial panics or indus-
r
ial depressions, although hard
dtimes apparently prevailed, The
stimulation to all industries result•
ling from the war, the speculative en-
terprises undertaken, the extension
of credits, and the slackening of pro.
duction, necessarily caused a re•
sctfon, and a consequent stagnation
of business; but the period was hard.

of staples and reduced her imports.
Industry lute been given an impetus
khat should mark a great era of de-
velo•pment. We have demonstrated
that many new lines can be profitably
manufactured in Canada. Wo face
the same dangers, however, that cul-
minated. in the crash of 1873 in the
United States -the danger of specu•
lation and over -production, without
properly developed markets,
A general survey of the labor situ-
ation in Canada indicates that about
150,000 more men will be required
after the war than are now employed
in Canada. This would about take
care of the proportion of returning
soldiers which will require employ-
ment after the war. The problem
then arises as to what we will do
with our munition workers -an esti-
mate,l detail of about 200,000 being
employed in this work at present,
fully 75% of which number will be
called upon to find other employment
when the war is over.
We will also have the problem of
finding employment for those immi-
grants seeking work, because it will
be difficult to restrict immigration to
those who wish to engage hi agricut•
ture. Our greatest need to -day is
more farmers and greater agricul-
tural production, as will readily be
recognized from the fact that our
population is half urban and we con-
sume more than we produce. There
will be great opportunity and a cry-
ing
rying need for farmers and farm labor -
ors all through Canada after the war,
but unless proper governmental plan
is worked out to direct our; immigra-
tion into that channel, we face the
danger of a flood of unemployed in
our cities and towns, while our farms
remain undeveloped..
Next in importanye to the probletrt
of increased agricultural production
is that of the development of our vast
natural resources through the exten-
sion of existing and promotion of
new industries. We must replace
the munition plants by tutiliztng,
them in extending our present linea
of manufacture and promoting the in-
troduction of new lines. Canada
should prepare for increased partici•
pation in export trade after the war
and should grasp the opportunity
now to extend in every possible way
her industrial development to enable
the opportunity a v
to be taken. advent-,
age of.
The problem of capital is always
closely related to that of labor,
Statistics show that Canada has al.
ways been able to absorb immigrae
tion in direct proportion to the
amount of foreign capital it has been
able to secure. It is estimated that
during the six years preceding' the
war, Great Britain invested $1,500,:
000,000 in Canada. After the wart
the Mother Country will have her
own financial problems to solve ani',
we will be compelled to look else)
where for our capital. So far w
have been able to obtain large suxnsi
from the United States and they wil'
probably be willing to be our banker
after the war. They have the money
-and it should be only necessary to
educate them as to our resources and
opportunities; when we will be able
to obtain the capital we require.
Available information shows that
more than one-half of our overseas
forces were recruited from among
skilled workers. Some plan roust be
put into operation for returning
these men to civil life gradually so
that they will not glut the labor
market; otherwise we can count up-
on serious labor congestion at many
point-, If; on the other hand, we bo -
gin to grapple with these future con-
ditions; to employ every effort of our
governmental, financial and com-
imercial organizations to handle the
problems of re -organizing our indus-
trial life, Canada will be able to grow
by great strides and occupy a premi•
neat place among the nations of the
