Sympathetic Attitude of Government and

City Council Voiced at Meeting L a s t

~ Night.

Assurance ci the sympathetic co- operation oi both the Provincial Government and City Council with the eiiorts oi the Unemployed Workmen’a Association to iind em- ployment ior the labouring classes oi Charlottetown was given iast evening at a meeting oi the Asso- siation, at which the Vice President, Mr. Earl Riggs, presided in the ab- sence of President Carbonnell.

‘The meeting was addressed by tl-ie chairman, and, more brieily, by Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Minis- ter oi Agriculture, Hon. M. W. Wood, Mr. W. A. Stewart, M. L. A., and Councillor B. R. Holman. Mr. Daniel Coughlan also spoke at the conclusion oi the meeting, at yvhich an evident ieeling oi mutual con- fidence and good-will prevailed.

The chairman denied a rumor to the eiiect that the Association had had anything to do with the trouble Saturday evening in connection with wage payments at the excava- tion job at Prince oi Wales College. Only two men had been placed by the Association directly on this job, he said, and neither oi them had dropped their shovels until told there was no more work ior the night.

Regret was expressed by the chairman at the cutting oi wages at the P. W. C. and P. E. I. Hospi- tal jobs below the standard iixed by the City Council for civic work, which is 35 cents an hour. Em- phasis was also placed on the need oi employing more city workmen and on the situation which many unemployed are in at the present time.

The intention to undertake tho reconstruction c! Faloonwood Hos- pital as soon as possible, thus pro- viding more employment, was re-

_ ierred to by the Government rep-

resentativee.

The action' oi the City Council in deciding to begin repair work on permanent streets was dealt with by Coun. Holman.

A committee to handle grievances oi members oi the Association, con- sisting oi Adolph Gallant, Peter Ottwoy and Henry Dciron, was ap- pointed at the chairman's sugges- tion, who also suggested that the Government appoint a commission, preferably oi’ clergyman, to deal with the unemployment situation that may arise next winter.

The meeting, which was held in the Strand Theatre, adjourned with the singing oi the National Anthem.

5 i Explosion Victims Are Laid To Rest

uomnuan. Juno iii-W T" Canadian Fraser-Five wfiblﬁl “mu their way to the slopes oi Mount Royal todly. btlrlniihl remains oi the iive ship-repairers. killed Friday mcrhingwhen iuel oil explosions sent death and des- truction hurtling through the dry- dock oi Canadian Vickers Limited and the British tanker Cymbeline. Pour iiremen and 23 workmen lost their lives.

‘today's iive iunerals were the iirst oi a. long list to result irom the accident. Tomorrow many more Vickers employees are to be laid to rest while on Wednesday the city is to give an oiiicial iun- ere.l to three heroic iiremen. Should the body oi Fire Chlei Raoul Gau- thier be iound in time he also will be honored in Wednesday's civic iuneral.

Funeral services wero read over the remains oi John Stewart Ewen, William Hulton, John Riddell, Ar- thur Shawcross and James Wilson in separate ceremonies. Sorrowful relatives and large numbers or iellow workmen attended the low- erlng oi each man to his iinal resting place. Wreaths were sent by the directors and employes oi Vickers and the Maiscnneuve Ward Citizens‘ Association.

The endless procession oi cit-

izens past the bodies oi the three firemen lying in state at iire head- quarters continuel today until it was estimated that one eighth oi the total population oi Montreal had personally paid respects to the men. In reverent, quiet iiles, 125,- 000 persons have passed through the somberly draped mortuary chamber where iiremen Paul Hen- richon, Louis De Brianne and Luc- ien Hamelln lie in state. John Stewart Ewen, aged 2B, a rivetter, who was buried today, was a noted soccer football player, cen- tre iorward ior the‘ East Greenfield team which holds the champion- ship oi the South Shore League. He was engaged to be married to Miss Marlon Pox.

BODY LOCATED

The body oi Arthur Briggs was located today and taken from the waters oi the dock. Two men lying at the morgue were ldentiiied as J. Rock and T. Tudorhleaving but two oi the death list oi 2'1 unre- covered. They are Chlei Gauthier and H. Legge, a workman.

Deputy Chiei C. Carson ieit it would be some time ‘before his Chiefs remains would be discovered The pumps being used to clear a. series oi tanks on the dock, into one oi which Chiei Gauthier is be- lieved to have been hurled by the second explosion, were not power- iul enough, the deputy said. As iast as they pumped water out it flowed in again through the holes. Stronger pumps are to be used while collision mats will be spread outside the dock, It is hoped the suction oi the pumps will draw the mats into the holes and stop the inflow, when the search could pro- coed.

Typical oi the tributes to the dead men made at the iuneral was that of Rev. A. O. Lloyd over the body oi James Wilson.

"It is marvellous to think that, while in his agony from fatal in- juries received last Ihiday morning he thought constantly oi iellow- workmen who had sufiered as he had. He asked irequently about their condition, mentioning the in- dividual companions who had been either killed or injured in the ao- cident. We shall never know the iects as to the deeds of kindness which were carried out when these men were stricken. but irom the conduct aiterwuds of such as James Wilson we can readily under- stand that there were actions oi which to be proud.”

Hon. E. M. Rhodes Is Optimistic

m ‘the past, two months, the‘ Government has received evidence oi the killing oi about 1,200 skunks; in the Province.

The animals do not seem. .. to be prevalent west oi Summerside ' " or east oi I-lillsboro Bay and East River, the authorities report. Th! progress made in eliminating the skunk pest may be judged irom the isct that over 1,000 oi the ani- ' mals killed were adults, about ‘I00 oi these being iernales. The aver l age litter oi skunks is six. Bounty h paid on young as well as adult animals. The evidence required is the snout and part o! the distin- guishing white patch, but occasion- ally pelts have been sent in. It has been necessary\to reiuse pay- ment on pelts, as otherwise two bounty sums might be collected ior the same animal.
