The Unemployed'
Special information for Farmers.
The Board of Trade held a meeting
Monday, August 24th, There was a
good. attendance, dud' the President
drew the attention to those present to
the number of people unable to obtain
employment. After some discussion,
a practical step was taken by opening
a Labour Bureau in the Town Hall,
under the 'charge of Town Clerk I) L.
Macpherson. Anybody desirous of
employment is requested to register
his or her name in Mr. Macpherson'at.
office, and anyone, especially farmers,
who wish to obtain help, are asked to
register similarly, stating what they
want, for how long, and at whatce-
muneration, Up to the present, only
six have registered as needing employ-
ment and two as needing help.
The Board of Trade wishes total-
press
otar-press upon those unfortunately un-
employed at the present time, that
they should lose no time in obtaining
something to do for the coming winter
All men are agreed in thinking that
we are face to face with hitherto un-
experienced conditions. It would be
wisdom not to he particular, but to
aecept whatuuder ordinary conditions
would be neither acceptable employ
went, and that but poorly remunerat
ed. The community also look to,
farmers to help for the general good
in the present stress, and if they can
give employment for say half time
during the coming winter months, at
a corresponding rate of pay, it will all
help.
There was a large meeting of repres
entativee frcm all over Ontario held.
in the Connell Chamber in the city of
Toronto on Tuesday. It was the same
story everywhere. The unemployed
increasing daily, the outlook not ler
proving, and men searching for a ea
ution to the difficulty. There were
some practical suggestions, which the
President of the Board of Trade would
like to have discussed. A meeting
therefore is called in the Council
Chamber at 8 o'clock on Friday even
ing next, 4th, and all members are
especially requested to be present.
