LABOR BILLS GO DOWN TO DEFEAT; ARE NOT MAJOR LONDON, Feb. 26 (C P cable) The Labor government of I'rlme Minister Ramsay .MacDonald suffered two defeats In standing committee ft might, two of the * administration's most important bills being Involved, but in neither oase was the defeat regarded as a major reverse. A Liberal amendment to the trades disputes bill was passed and some commentators view the change as a virtual emasculation of the bill. The other defeat came when a Conservative amendment to the agriculture marketing bill was adopted. The Liberal amendment to the trades dispute.* bill substituted a Liberal definition of an illegal strike for the original Labor definition. Thus the bill la changed almost beyond recognition and It is believed the government may abandon further attempts to make the measure law. PENAL TERM OF 14 YEARS COMES FitOM THIEVERY MONTREAL.

"I expect ln three, years we shall be able to cross the continent tn three days," said the general. "First of all big airports are needed every 500 to 600 miles. If you make the porta less far apart than that, the train will be able to complete on fairly even terms, and if you make them much farther than that, you will be carrying fuel Instead of paasengers. "The United States, whleh leads the world today ln ground organization and ln organised flying routes, ha* 16,000 miles lined up. They have emergency landing grounds every 40 miles. X believe Canada could do with such fields about every 60. "The economical distance to fly a plane is Just about 600 miles. More means gasoline as opposed to a paying load, while leas means train competition. We have found out that planes can cross the ocean, but all the load Is taken up in gasoline."

The matter was raised by President H. M.

No request has been made to the Nelson board for Us support In the matter, and the action taken by the council was voluntary, as tn the obvious interests of the district, affected, and consequently of Nelson Judge J. D. Swanson. ln a case at Kamloops the other day, ruled that an agreement drawn up, and signed on Sunday was illegal. That the provincial government hopes to bo able to carry out a substantial part of its highway standardization program between Gray Creek aad Pilot Bey this year out of the mgnway loan that the house will be asaed to vow, and in the meantime ls expediting completion of the highway to Gray ureeK from which a temporary ferry service will be operated by Canadian. Pacific steamer, was in- iormatlon laid before tho board of trade council Thursday in a letter written by Hon. R. W. Bruhn. minister of publio works, this week. "1 beg to acknowledge receipt of your tetter of Pebruary 19 informing me that the Nelson board oi -rade is most anxious to know ihe detail of our intentions ln connection with the construction of the iilghwsy on the east side of Kootenay lake, 'and how we propose ..andling the business and tourist .raffle in that section," wrote th<. uilnlster. "In reply, I beg to say that at i -ne present time we have practically! inade arrangements with the CP.R. .o transfer passengers and ours from Gray Creek to Balfour during thc coming summer and It Is our intention to put the road t0 Gray Jreek ln good shape as rapidly S3 possible. riOFftl FOR SUBSTANTIAL PART" "The extent of the work which can be carried on from Gray Creek <.o Pilot Bay entirely depends upon the amount of money which wtll > be voted by the house for hlghwsyj purposes and I have every hope] that sufficient money wtll be voted [ co carry out a substantial part of| this work during the coming year. "I am very sorry Indeed, but this Is all the information I ara able to give you until the highway loan has been passed by the house, although I think that you wlll realise the same as everyone else. that it will bo impossible for the government to o-ury on a« extensive a program as has been done during the past two years, much as we would like to do so." It was noted that the minister's letter did not answer the board's Inquiry as to the charges that ] would be made for transporting cars across the lake by the temporary ferry, and Secretary D, A. McFalard was Instructed to write Lie.ut.-col. Pred Lister, MJ.P. for Creston. ln whose riding the ferry will operate, that the board desires to know tlie scale of charges as early as posslnli> for the purpose of informing tourist agencies, and also that it, hopes that the charges wlll be reasonable. If there was a car charge of $3 plus passenger fares for the occupants, It would kill the potential tourist traffic, President H. M. Whlmster asserted. BOARD'S STAND ON RECORD In the nyitter of completing the highway from Gray Creek to Pilot Bay, the board at its last meeting approved the terms of a letter to the minister drafted by the roads and bridges cdhimlttee, stating the hoard expected the government to complete the highway to Gray Creek, Improve the Nelson-Balfour highway, and establish a satisfactory car ferry, for this season's traffic, and to complete the road Improvement from Gray Creek to Kootenay Bay or Pilot Bay and have a permanent . ferryr with proper ferry landings, in ttme for the motor tourist Mason of 1932.

VICTORIA, Feb. 26—Liberal members of the public accounts com- mtttte of the legislature at a committee meeting today claimed that the one million dollars cash reserve set up to provide against losses of the liquor board has been spent by the government, and that the reserve standing tn the Accounts today represent©.! Investments In the liquor board's business assets, The Liberal members also claimed that more than five million dollars, representing superannuation funds, money deposits and liquor board reserves, wers spent by the government with cash deposits only showing $1,138,000 at March 31, 1030, to offset these expenditures. It was also claimed that the municipalities' share of liquor profits were used by the government for a period pending distribution and that the government had to borrow to pay the municipalities when the profit shares came due. The Liberal question of J. A. Craig, comptroller-general, the witness before tbe oommittee, was led by T. D. Pattullo. opposition leader, and A. M. Manson, former attorney- general. Mr. Craig, In reply to questioning, said the liquor board funds were ln the hands of the treasury, and tlie reserve fund of one million dollar represented the general assets of the board. "Do you thtnk that to have this reserve tied up ln realty buildings. and so forth, ls in compliance with the act?" asked Mr. Manson. tVOILD NOT A NATTER Mr. Craig did not think he ahould answer that question. The government spent. It, that's all," ssld Mr. Pattullo, "That mil lion dollars has been spent and never replaced." Mr. Craig said he was not aware of any charge being made against the reserve fund for losses or administration. "In other words, the reserve has been used." said Mr. Manson. "It all goea to tbe treasury," replied the comptroller-general. Mr. Manson turned to the municipal share In liquor profits. "The province haa the use of this money for a period of tlms before lt Is distributed, without being charged interest?" he inquired. Mr. Craig said that was so. It resulted in s saving to the province to use this money, declared Jack lioutet, Conservative, or North .

What About the Bridge People of Nelaon and district are waiting with a good deal of interest for news as to whether the public works estimates, shortly to be brought down in the legislature, will include provision for commencing work on tbe Nelson bridge. This discussion during the visit of Premier Tolmie to Nelson brought out the fact that there should be no difficulty in constructing a wooden bridge wtiich would serve the purpose just as well as a steel bridge. A wooden bridge could be built for $200,000, whereas the steel bridge upon which a preliminary estimate of cost was made would run into a million and a half dollars or so. If the government spent $200,000 on a wooden bridge it would save money as compared with present ferry costs, it would implement the promise of the premier to build the bridge and it would provide a link ln the transprovincial highway of very great importance. As the expenditure would bring about an actual saving in annual cost, to build the bridge at this time should not interfere with any other public work projects. There is no real question as to the practicability of a. wooden structure. The C. P. R. is using one to carry its trains across the lake at Kootenay Landing. The Telephone Industry Canada is pre-eminently a country of telephone users. The Dominion has, according to the latest statistics, the largest number of telephone conversations per capita in the world. In the number of telephones per capita the Dominion comes second only to the United States. The average number of telephone conversations per capita in Canada in 1929 is estimated by the Dominion Kureau of Statistics at 267. The estimated number in the United States in 1928, according to figures published by the American Telephone and Telegraph company, was 230.7. The number of telephones per 100 of population of the United States in 1928 was 16.8 .while that of Canada in 1929 was 14.29. Germany and the United Kingdom had larger numbers of telephones than Canada in 1928, but their averages per 100 of the population were only 4.6 and 3.8 respectively. Leadership among the Canadian provinces in the number of telephones in operation in 1929 was with British Columbia, with an average of 21.2 per 100. Ontario came second with 18.9 and Saskatchewan third with 13.4. Thc growth of the telephone industry in Canada has been rapid. In the eight years following 1921 there -was an increase of over 65 per cent in the number of telephones in operation, and in the five years ended with 1929 there was an increase of over 30 per cent. The number of installed telephones in Canada in 1929 was 1,899,986, which exceeded the total for the previous year by 65,452, or 4.9 per cent. At the end of 1921 the total number of telephones in the Dominion was 902,090, and at the end of 1924, 1,072,454. The number of telephones per 100 of population in 1921 waa 10.26 and 1924, 11.62. Make Huntsmen's Lives Safe The British Columbia legislature is dealing with a number of fatalities in the woods of the province during hunting season. On Vancouver Island five accidental shootings occurred last year and there were several in the interior of the province. The government is proposing a bill but it is not drafted yet. Unnecessary loss of life in the woods is a blot on the laws of any province. Drafting of a bill tended to curb these tragedies will be watched with interest and any method adopted which may lead to safety in the woods should meet with general approval the province over. $200,000,000 to the Good Seen and Heard in NELSON (By J.

The scene is typical of the nation-wide activity that has followed a sharp fall ln the ■ prices of labor, building materials and professional services. The movement is ln line with Dominion and Provincial building programs recently urged and hae already gone a long way to relieve the unemployment situation. Every home that ls built, every Job of remodeling or repair, puts a number of men to wort, stimulates trade ln many fields, gets money into circulation. And the householder ls receiving more for his dollar than at any time since 1915. Scenes such as that pictured above are multiplying day by day, and day by day the return of Prosperity grows nearer. And with the opening of the spring season this activity no doubt wlll take on renewed life. After months of depression the country la awakening from Its lethargy and if economists are correct ln their predictions, as many of us are prone to believe, there should be a gradual improvement as the year advances. By fall, say these forecasters, things should assume normal proportions.

Even If lt Is abandoned tor this year, Its supporters are hopeful that It will be Implemented later. "Two arguments are used ln favor of government beer parlors, first that they would bring ln a large new revenue to the provinoe, when revenue is badly needed and secondly that they would help to solve tbe perennial probe of beer profile and beer quality. "In Its own parlors, the government could make sure that nothing but beer of good quality was sold and at a reasonable price, whereas under the present system both these points are the subject of constant complaint from beer drinkers, lt Is argued," FORMES MERGER OF CONSTRUCTION MSJOESON A.
