On est là à trois heures de l’après-midi jusqu’à onze heures du soir avec doux heures de congé pour le diner.Autrefois on siégeait bien souvent Pendant la nuit, jusqu’à huit heures du matin.Comment peut-on croire qu après une session de douze heures, les députés pouvaient bien être en état de diriger les affaires du pays! Heureusement, on a aboli ces longues sessions depuis plusieurs années.Le visiteur à Ottawa ne manque jamais de demander: "Mais pour- quoi ne pas commencer à neuf heures du matin et finir à cinq heures du soir, comme le reste du monde?Ne rien faire pendant toute la matinée! Ils sont bien paresseux, ces députés!” Alors, ce matin, nous allons nous cacher dans le bureau d'un député ouvrier, précisément pour voir comment il passe son temps.Nous sommes étonnés de voir la porte qui s’ouvre à neuf heures moins le quart et notre député qui entre, les mains remplies de lettres, de journaux, de bulletins.Sans nous voir — car nous sommes invisibles - il les pose sur son pupitre, s'assied sur sa chaise, et commence a lire ses lettres.Voilà une lcttie d un soldat qui demande des renseignements au sujet de sa pension.En voilà une autre d’un fermier qui décrit les mauvaises conditions dans l’Ouest.Voilà une étudiante qui prépare un débat sur le problème du chômage, et qui cherche des statistiques.Voila une coupure de journal envoyée par quelqu’un qui n’ain pas les idées des députés ouvriers.I! y a encore une douzaine de communications, mais nous n’avons pas le temps, nous, de les lire.Notre député y est cependant obligé! Il cherche les réponses parmi ses documents Enfin, il appelle sa sténographe à laquelle il dicte ses réponses.Souvent il est interrompu par des coups de téléphone — une demande relative à un prisonnier à Winnipeg, des renseignements sur la question des banques, etc.Mais enfin il congédie sa sténographe.Il prend quelques instants à lire les journaux et a en faire quelques coupures.Souvent le matin il passe une demi-heure dans la salle de lecture où on trouve des journaux de chaque partie du monde.Ce matin, notre député commence à préparer son discours sur le budget.Un coup de téléphone: “Un monsieur désire vous voir" Il arrive-un professeur de l’Afrique du Sud qui s’intéresse à présent à une étude de nos affaires canadiennes.Il reste une demi-heure pour demander une foule de rensignmnts.Il part et le député recommence à préparer son discours.Quelqu’un frappe à la porte et entre C'est un député qui lui rappelle un comité sur la question des banques.Les deux partent ensemble.Dans une heure notre député revient accompagné d'un officiel d’une union ouvrière.Ils discutent la question des salaires pour les ouvriers dans cette industrie.Encore un coup de téléphone.Une députation de chômeurs qui arrivent pour considérer les moyens qu'ils doivent prendre P0111' attirer l’attention des autorités sur leur condition.Ils se décident enfin a convoquer une grande assemblée publique.Ils sortent en même temps qu’un garçon entre avec les lettres qui sont prêtes a être signées et mises à la poste.Voilà une heure qui sonne.Le depute jette un dernier regard sur son discours inachevé Puis il prend son chapeau et sort pour le déjeuner, afin d’être rentré'quelques minutes avant le commencement de la session de l'après-midi II a promis de voir un officiel au sujet de la navigation du Saint-Laurent ‘ Dans ia rue, il rencontre un ami qui lui demande: "Qu’y a-t-il de nouveau aujourd’hui?” - “Pas grand chose", répond notre député "au contraire, je viens de passer une matinée bien ordinaire!” Les syndicats britanniques et les secours aux chômeurs aidiez pas à notre loi des a "o’ii’s Compensation Act!

other cities in regards to its unemployment problem.Although it is the capital City of the Dominion with fairly steady employment of those engaged with the government, yet there are other local industries which depend upon the government purchases for their livelihood.As the government has embarked upon a policy of strict economy, these have naturally been adversely affected.In addition there is adjoining the City the pulp and paper industries which employ a large number of men, these are to-day suffering along with the rest of the industrial world and are going through an acute period of depression.The unemployed in Ottawa and district are not unlike those in other parts of Eastern Canada.They have been receiving from the City of Ottawa very little in the way of support.The men affected in this way have informed both J.S.Woodsworth and A.A.Heaps that married men with a large family receive $4.00 per week.There is no immediate hope of any improvement in the labor conditions.A number of these men got together and requested Heaps and Woodsworth to address a meeting of the unemployed in a public square known here as Cartier Square.This is a large play ground owned by the Federal government and is used by the public in a general way.After the meeting had been advertised for Woodsworth and Heaps .to speak on the 11th.to the unemployed on these grounds, it was a,viii ,,°wfCd mdU,Str!nl de' intimated that opposition would develop to the use of government WlU withcr nnd become I ground.for such purposes.J.S.Woodsworth then got in touch whh tlio Civic authoi ities wlio dicl not object to tlic holding of the meetings with strong protectionists and those i .as was ^edera' property, Mr.Woodsworth phoned to the who believe in the doctrine of “Can- j Ministei of the Department in charge, Hon.J.M.Sutherland, to ascertain if any objections would be taken to the holding of this meeting of tlie unemployed.This was just a few hours prior to the time scheduled for the meeting to commence.After the Minister had considered this matter and probably discussed it with others, word was received by Mr.Woodsworth that the government objected to the use of these grounds for this class of demonstration.The scheduled hour arrived and botli labor members of Parliament arrived on the ground and by this time about 600 unemployed had gathered there.They were informed of the attitude of the government and it was then decided that the whole mass assembled would march down to the Market Square which they did in a most orderly way and there the meeting was held and was addressed by the Labor members.It is a most remarkable thing and has created considerable interest here in Ottawa, that two members of Parliament should be denied the light by the Federal government to address a meeting of Canadian people on property which is supposed to be owned by the people themselves.No doubt the last has not been heard of this episode, and will be raised at the appropriate time on the floor of the House.And in the meantime the unemployed themselves are now getting busy with the publicity already received, they will likely go ahead and organize their efforts in the hope of receiving more adequate consideration than they had been able to receive up till the present.equitably in •side.- not only economic theory hull of our institutions will depend is the

entire British Isles.The plan calls for nine stations of 30,000 watts power each, one station of 50.000 watts, or equivalent to the highest powered stations in the United States, with a few smaller stations scattered throughout the isles.The British system of broadcasting is government-operated.There is no advertising on the air, like the American system supported with business sponsored programs.in 'England synchronizing experiments under which a .network of stations is maintained on the same channel is officially reported by means of wire control is officially reported as working satisfactorily, although tome difficulty lias been experienced because of much areas created by the multiple operation of stations on the same channel.What most increases anger is the feeling that one is in the wrong.— Hitcher.they appreciate the seriousness of the situation and the necessity for taking action.I am indebted to Mr.Harry Burton of Burton's Limited, for directing my attention to a book that will undoubtedly affect the thinking of the humane and enlightened business men and legislators in the United States, our own Dominion, and in all likelihood, i Great Britain.The title of it is a j rather striking one.It is called: “Business Adrift", and the author is Mr.Wallace Brett Donham.Dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration of Harvard University.Several passages contained in his book are almost indentical with those that were contained in editorials in previous issues of the Labor World more especially dealing with the consequences of the industrial development of Great Britain, and the treatment accorded the workers at the beginning of the so called industrial revolution.He states: "Not only political but business democracy is on trial and the issue of the trial may upset institutions to an extent quite beyond prediction lies not in radical propaganda, but in lack of effective business leadership.Great problems, upon the decision of which the whole history of the future may turn, are receiving no adequate attention." The communists are taking advantage of the situation and labor to upset our institutions.Their success is entirely dependent and contingent upon business and political leaders failing to take the adequate measures to which Dean Donham refers, to preserve our institutions through the resistance offered to revolutionary propaganda by a contented working population.Mr.Donham believes: "We are drifting with the tide,, having no concept- lower standards prevail, tends to safeguard the Canadian wage earner.Discussing the proposals of those a permanent and national prosperity.This prosperity is the responsibility of capital—not the •SP".«*?».- »• i ZJSLTSLz S' t richment, but the capital that is eL ficient and altruistic at the same time.Efficient in organizing production, and altruistic in the steps taken to assure an equitable distribution of the total product and provision for that secur- who advocate the common ownership ity 0f employment to which Mr.Don-of the means of production and ex- ham refers so often in his book change, he says: "Our answer to so- -if democratic government and ln-cialism should not be efforts, express dlvidualistic business are to endure" or implied, to hinder the success, but he tells us, “we must constructively approach the problems of giving both a demonstration that we have the capacity, the brains, the plan and the system, which can attain greater results." President Hoover has declared himself a strong advocate of individualism in industy as opposed to socialism.Having risen from very humble bei ginnings to a position of the greatest I importance and responsibility in the I gift of his fellow citizens, and having sible so far as the fi: two categories j of work are concerne ” achieved this success entirely by his security and progress to all important social groups." Discussing "General Employment Policies", he says: “If permanent unemployment follows on a large scale, the reduced purchasing power resulting from such unemployment and from constricted markets will bring about the total continuous unemployment of a substantial part ôf our labor or reduced standards for all.” He con- standards be obtained in the Domi-i nion.Canada under able political and industrial leadership has no reason to fear the future.The recognition by our statesmen and Industrial leaders of their responsibility and opportunity and the great advantage that will come from discussion, negotiation, and cooperation with those engaged in the production of wealth, will make for that progress and m ability, which Dean Donham urges as the objective for the leaders in business and politics of his Sown great country.A.F.OF L.EDITOR LOSES LIFE Member oj Typographical Union and in Service of A.F.L.20 Years, James P.Eagan ITns Staunch Defender of Unionism.own efforts, he strongly dissents front jtinues: -The only sound remedy lor The categories th, he voters to.are 'be views of those who favour what I unemployment is w first,, the "Work to r: ite things,” and be would regard as a system of level! second, “The tools brought into exis- j 'nB.regardless of ability and oppor-tence to make things which our neigh- 'unity.ork, and capitalistic hours want and can buy.” He continues: "For lack of a plan we have thrown our machinery of production,—the first category, wholly out of balance.Partly through hysteria.! partly through world-wide causes, al-•I'he danger in our situation | most who]ly lhrough !ack of n plan, we have lost, not our apacity to make things our neighbour: want, but our capacity as neighbours to buy them." He is of the opinion that: “Five million able-bodied men with no chance to work, living on the past accomplishments of capital, with the consequent destruction of u large pint of our smaller business men and immense human suffering, constitute in themselves a serious breakdown of capitalism."

This suggestion is identical in tenor with that made by one of Canada’s outstanding financiers and business men, Sir Herbert Holt, when addressing those present at the Gist annual meeting of the Royal Bank of Canada.He urged the formation of a non-partisan advisory council to assist and advise the Government.It is by and through the cooperation between political and business leadership, that a complete or partial solution can be found for those pressing form of government, that in its essence was an autocracy, rather than a so-society, the controlling influences in which, were the industrial possessors of great wealth and political leaders elected by the people.In the more advanced European countries and the Western nations, the workers within the last fifty years have been able to make their influence felt and obtain a measure of political control that led to progressive reforms along political, economic, and social lines.Although because of the development of industry in the European and Western nations, the directors of no time repudiated the cardinal poli- j eminent." tical principles upon which our form jn other words, where business has of government is based.Its leaders : iJ0(>u unable to prevent an impending insist on the worker being given an adequate wage, and employed under conditions that give him the measure of protection against accident and disease, which as a producer he has a right to demand.They also labor to secure those reforms and social services, a number of which are now available to the wage earner of Great Britain and the Dominion.We can therefore, in discussing the welfare into the path of an on-coming machine.Close friends knew that Mr.Egan held a dislike for automobiles.Not long since he purchased a car, but soon disposed of it.It is believed that this dislike wat at least in some measure caused by the fact that Mrs Egan's father lost his life in a similar accident.As a printer Mr.Egan had woiked in many cities.He spent several years in Toledo and was perhaps better known there than in any other city except Washington, where for two decades he had been a part of the life of American Federation of Labor headquarters.He was particularly close industrial crisis bringing with it un- | Secretary Frank Morrison and there employment, the Government must was a close bond between the two.He come to the aid of the threatened wage earner by providing employment, stantly kept in touch with the needs of a changing world, but applied only where business itself is unable to supply the necessary elements of security.This requires regular systematic planning by both business and gov- such employment to continue how- Seamen’s Union also was one of the close friends of President Andrew Furuseth of the ever, only for a brief period and to cease when business and industry are again carried on in a normal way.In the chapter which follows, those from which the extracts have been given, we are informed that: "Prog-and the future of the wage earners, | ress to be continuous in a capitalistic discount for the moment the influence and propaganda of socialists and socialism.We are pressingly concerned with helping the worker secure employment, and preventing the recurrence of the industrial crises that cause so much suffering and preventable destitution.One can infer from the views Mr.Donham gives us in his book, that he is convinced of our ability to solve what now constitutes the problems which the leaders of industry and politics face, by the agencies und means available under existing conditions.It is ids considered view that: "The job of each generation is to con- society must be equitably shared between labor and capital.Security for workers must be sought and men will work for it.Without this, security for capital is impossible.” Professor Donham is not in favour of placing too much reliance on export trade.In his view.“Export trade is the least stable of economic situations, and the instability will bear first on the labor group and then on capital.We should develop our home market by giving greater security and leisure at home rather than that depending on exports." He concludes: “Our first duty as business men, upon which the success ance for domestic workers It was characteristic of "Jim” Egan, as many knew him, to hold fast to the fundamental tenets of trade unionism, no matter what winds blew from the temples of the intelligentsia and it is as a stalwart, unwavering defender of the principles of the American Federation of Labor that he will be remembered.DOMESTIC WORKERS' CHARTER Meeting at Blackpool, England, the National Conference of Labor Women adopted a charter for domestic servants.Among the charter’s proposals are: An annual two weeks’ holiday with pay, maximum working hours and a minimum wage scale, abolition of the servant’s cap, "a badge of servility”; establishment of training and recreational centers, unemployment insur- Page 4 SAMEDI, 20 JUIN 1931 — MONEREAL — SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1931 Wage-Dividend Can't Be Compared Why should wages be reduced to assure dividends?The latter is called “wages of dollars" by those who see no difference between dividends and wages.Men talk of "putting dollars to work."
