No Change Here far Artizan;'-Tho Canadian Trades Union Delegate Delivers an Address in Edin• burgh. (Edinburgh Evening Dispatch.) An address 011 emigration to Canada from the Canadian trade unionist's point of 11100 vvas delivered to :nem- bers of Edihbilrgh and District Trade,+ Cciuneil last night in the Canongafe Institute by Mr. 0'. R. Trotter, to whorl the Trades and Labor Con, 00000 of Canada has delegated the task of showing to the people in the Motherland the view taken 0y organ- ized labor in Canada of wholesale emi- gration to the Dominion. Bir. Walter Bell presided, Mr. Trotter assured his audience at the outset thatthe trades unionists' were=.fairly well organized in Canada, and' nletntiollecl that the Union to which he belonged operated over an area reaching from Edmonton in Can- ada ..down to the Gulf of Mexico, and it had branches in the Philippines.. Tho';~ did not have half a dozen unions of the same craft bickering with each other as there was in this country. The Canadian Government, he said, hada big territory to fill up, and in seeking for population they asked for three classes of people -formers and farm workers, railway navvies, and domestic servants. These classes had been netted for right along the line. The Government had never asked for anything else; but certain people were interested in having other classes brought into the country. They would like to have four men for each job in the mechanical crafts; and they had produced such a state of affairs that every municipality in Canada had a large unemployment problem on its hands, and the' associated charities were doling out relief week by week. So fur as the mechanical trades were concerned, Canada was no batter off than this country. • He declared emphatically that the Canadian Government stated that it had not• authorized emigration socie- ties .113 persuade skilled ma henies to br to Canada. and he quoted a Gov- ernment pamphlet on the subject in support of his assertion, The Government of Canada 'was not to blame he said. An • artisan going to Canada just now hada very bad chance of getting a footing. The Cn- aditln Government agents would de- clare, if asked, that the skilled arti- san's chances of employment in Can- ada were small indeed. He laid mucic of the responsibility for the ,position in charitable and semi -religious bodies engaged in emigration work, Pointing out that Canada was yet a young country, lie said industrial centres the}, were few and far be. twee. Consequently, it was ridicu- lous to suggest that there was work for all artisans.
