hum the/t everyone will ad- mire tthat in our national life today [fill in the life of other nations. m" l; B, great deal of unrest and dissatisfaction, a great deal |ugpICI0ll and turmoil, and al- though our own nation is pros- perous and healthy when compar- “l with other nations in the world, w; must admit that there are mmgg m our national life that need correction if this nation is to be truly contented and pros- perous. When the human body is my, g doctor is consulted and an |itempt is made to diagnose the finesse and prescribe a. remedy. n a mistake is nlade in the diag- nosis the wrong remedy may be lpplled and disastrous consequen- c“ may relult to the patient. We mm b, very careful that in our national life we consult trained ‘pecialists and refuse to listen to quaci: doctors wh0 Drmflbe W"!!! remedies and HBTBVBIB W!‘ n!" tionsl disorders still further rather [hgn curing the disease.

some of the quack doctors are presCflillllg for us today Some of our labour leaders and C. C. F. propagzlndists are prescribing cer- tain remedies today which, if taken. will to my mind lead this prosperous nation to a condition similar t; that of some European “mom where poverty, misery, $J5pICIDI1 hatred, hopelessness and despair is the lot of the people. The electors of this County face a responsibility today never before faced by a democratic nation, the responsibility of deciding whether the advice of quacks or trained economists will be taken in the biuldln; up of our national liie.

The quarks arc advising the people that capitalism and large industrial organizations are the en- emies of the people of Canada alld in 0l'(.If.‘l' to persuade the people of Crinada that this is so, some ‘of these quacks utter all kinds oi falsehoods and misrepresentations loth Ill their press alid on the radio. Reference was made Ill the gummerslde address to the state- ments of Adam Borsck, regaining Canada Packers. These statements were entirely misleading and had a tendency to rouse the people to indignation. Not only laborers but farmers and all other classes who ‘lrlieved these statements were roused at the injustice of a wealthy company piling up huge profits and paying their employees star- vation wages.

l am not interested in Canada Packers more than in any other Company but l anl interested in the truth and in order to get the tlnth I studied the audited, state- ment of the Company. The facts recorded were given in the ad- dress. and these facts will con- vince any honest minded person that the farmers were treated fairly, the labourers were treated fairly and a profit to the Com- pally of only 1c on the dollars business was shown to have been made.

Mlrepreeentatione

Now the public should aak why these false statements? Why so much misrepresentation? Mr. Borsck is trying, like many of his Communist friends, to convince Canadians that "big business" as they call it, is a menace to the Canadian people. He concealed the fact that the economical and effi- cient management of the company enabled them to handle the farm- ers’ livestock at a minimum cost and at a profit of lc per 30 lbs of meat handled. He concealed the fact that since i939 the Company had increased wages to its male imirloyees 73.4 per cent and to its lcmale employees 93.6 per cent wills the cost of living had gone "D Only 42 per cent.

Now the same Adam Borsck was admins our labour Union in Charlottetown and advising them f0 go on strike unless its members received an increase of 32 l-2c per licur. The points which I wish to w-Dhasize right here are tllis:-- My opinion is tilat labor cannot benefit pefmanenily by demanding PM Murine a larger wage than industry can afford to pay. The °bJ=Pt of my first address was to allow that the farmer had not ‘Lwred h" Proper share of the "llilmll income. The proof of this necessitated ihe furnishing of facts FM figures from impartial ‘sour- "f. from the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and my radio listeners. I think, will agree that the fact W»? Proved beyond doubt.

than the amount received by lab- our alone in previous years, so that th- labourers who continued to wark received a. little more than the average percentage of the de- creased national income.

No Ies-nlanent Value

But does labour wish a condi- tlon like that? It is all right for the fortunate ones but the great majority of laborers suffer and with them suffer their families and other classes oi’ Canadian citizens, farmers included. That is wflat I mean when I say that in- creased pay to the labourer is no permanent good to that labourer if it is_ more than industry can afford to pay. Let us again use Canada Packers as an illustration. it was pointed out that if labour leceived their full demand in the present strike_ the farmers must receive less or the consumer pay more. I think I have shown the effect on the national economy. if the farmer does not receive his nghtful share of the national in- come.

Suppose then in this particular case that the consumer pays more, what is the result? Every labourer in Canada, no matter in what in- dcstry he is engaged, must pay a nlgherprlce for his meat for him- laif and family. Every strike call- ed in Canada in any and every line of industry. has a similar effect on every labourer. who must purchase the products of that par- ticaular industry. By the time that every industry has been forced to pay the increased wage the pro- cess is complete. Then every item on the labourers budget is on a higher level. One can easily see that labour is no better off. 1t is o. pure case of inflation and no one, least of all labourers, can benefit by inflation. Every strike called which demands e. wage h.ghcr than industry can afford to pay is helping along ‘the spread of inflation.

But this is only l\aif the story. in addition to the labourer re- ceiving no benefit by getting the ‘ncreased wage. he loses heavily through idleness when the strike is on. In some strikes held in re- cent years, it takes months and in some oases, years to make up in increased wages the amount. lost during the period of the strike. Many of our labour leaders today are giving extremely bad advice to our labour unions. Take for in- stance, during the recent strike iil Charlottetown when the Union could have received a. bonus of 50c per hog on all hogs killed during a certain period.

The local union would have taken this and thus provided ade- qaateiy for their families while the strike was ill progress burthey were not allowed to do so by their leaders in Toronto. One cannot help coming to the conclusion that those labour leaders, many of whom are saturated with Coln~ munism, are seeking their own private interests rather than the interests of the Union which thev are supposed to protect and foster. I em a strong believer in the rights of the labouring man to organize.

Bargaining Rights

I believe that labour unions should have the right to bargain collectively with their employers and I believe there should be an arbitration board, composed of men of unimpeacha-ble character, of sound judgment and of imper- tilll attitude, who, in cases of dis- agreenfent between employer and employee, would decide upon the wage that should be paid. A Board oi this kind would naturally take il.to consideration all aspects of i.l.e national economy, the effects of an increase on the particular industry concerned the effects on tile farmers and other classes oi the lppuiation. It is only by some method such as this that we can prevent this constant agitation, by labour leaders which is driving in- dustry to despeif and causing such se'ious depressions that labour never feels secure and never knows when another strike may be called that will again upset the national economy.

One piece of bad advice that is being given by labour leaders tn- dly is that their Union demand in addition to increased svages, shorter hours of work. Ever since labour controls have been remov- cd labour leaders have been de- manding shorter hours and the re- slll. has been that although wages have increased 75 per cent over prc war wages the national pro- duction has remained practically the same.

ti. is very evident that national income alld national prosperity are

when the fal~m-'

, ti ned in my ‘previous lwua earned in the long hour wcek Obtaininl a wage equal vi‘

dependent on national production. If the same unit oi productlonto- day costs '15 per cent more than in i939. then the increased cost must reflect in increased cost of living. Today the Canadian public carrot biy a great many things which they need because they are not

available. This scarcity causes an _

increase in price and the labour- lrg man suffers as do all other classes of our citizens.

A man's health-a. man's effi- clcncy-niust of course be consid- e'ed when determining the num- DC!‘ of hours he should work Ill a day but! think a man can work WfII beyond forty hours a week without suffering in either health or efficiency. The farmer in this Province has been in the habit of working anywhere from twelve to fourteen hours per day and our folmers are ae healthy as any other class.

And, by the way. let me say that tile income of the farmer es men- broadcast

wllile the in me of the labourer was for lnuc shorter hours.

My time is coming to a close. l trust that I have been able to make myself clear regarding com- parisons made between the farin- en’ and the labourers’ income. It is fa: from my desire to set one class against the other. 1 have endeavoured to ahow that the

A large circle of relatives and friends are sadly missing the dyna- mic personality of Emma. Charlotte Chipman Campbell who passed away Oct. 25, i947. after a lengthy illness, at her home, 2-1325 Wesv 15th Ave., Vancouver, B. C.

She was born in Covehead. P.E.I., in- 1866. the daughter of Rev. J55. Allan and Mrs. Allan. The cherish- ed memory of bhese two has been ‘perpetuated in the story of "Anne of Green Gables." Mrs, Campbell's family became divided. She was predeceased by 2 baby sisters, her father in 1891. her mother, Dec. 5, 1917. her brother. Col. John R. Allan of Covehead in 1935 and Dr. Arohic of Cardigan, Dec. 5, 1946 all of whom are buried,on the Island. except her moilher. who is buried in the West. too. The rest of her family live in the West, namely, brother, J. 8., and sisters, Mrs. Helen McLeod and Mabel. Mrs. W. F. Grant.

Mrs. Campbell was educated in Halifax Ladies College. On gradu- atlon she taught music and then married lawyer J.H. Geode. Their children are Jean, Mrs. R. McMil-

comedi-an in the "Dumbells," a ahow of World War I fame.

About 1897. they came west and entered the turbulent, pioneer min- ing days of Rossland. In Jen. 1902. Mr. Goode died. Late the following year she married a friend of the falmliy. Edmund F. Campbell and the family settled in Vancouver. Mrs. Allan made her home with her daughter Emma.

She was a very active worker in

the churdl. Her great popularity was attributed to her dry wit, vivaclousrless. hospitality and "a heart of 801d". l-fer irreparable loes is keenly felt in the home by her grieving husband and daughter, Nonie. Like her mother, “she leaves behind the fragrance of a. Christian life." She leaves to mourn her loving husband Edmund P. Campbell, one son Jrmes A. GOOde. Toronto, two daughters. Mrs. R. McMillan. win- nlpeg and Nonie at home.

Recent visitors to Bedeque were Miss Ila Collett and her mother, of Amherst, Nova Scotia.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gardiner left a short time ago for Van- couver, B.C. to spend the winter with their daughter.

Mrs. A. C. Brooks, Charlotte- town, spent the week-end in Be- deque. the guest of Rev. E. S. and Mrs. Weeks.

Rev. L. M. Murray. Ke ington, occupied the pulpit here on Sun- day. Nov. 23rd in exchange with Rev. Burton Crowe. His address was in the interest of the Mis- sionary and Maintenance fund of the United Church.

The worship service sponsored by the United Sunday School on Sunday evening, Nov. 28rd. was onducted by Mr. Ralph Callback. Mr. John Craig. Miss Louise Craig and Mr. Arnold ‘Henderson. Inter- esting slides were shown portray- ing the "Life of Christ."

Dr. Macvioar and family. Be- deque, have recently moved into the dwelling which was purchased and re-modelled by the Bedeque Housing Company. It was formerly known as the Lowther house. All modern conveniences have been installed. A new double garage has also been erected on the pre- mises.
