WINNIPEO, Dec. 3.—Resolutions urging the Dominion government to lend its assistance ln solving the winter unemployment problem were passed at the unemployment conference held here today. The conference was attended by representatives of provincial and municipal governmnts of the three prairie provinces and leaders of organized labor. One resolution regretted^ the failure of the Dominion, government to be represented at the conference and urged it to consided Its responsibilities on tU- question of unemployment. The conference disagreed with the statement of Hen. Peter Heenan, minister of labor, that unemployment was a matter of provincial and municipal government only. Another resolution called attention to tlie fact that there was a greater number of men and women unemployed in the western provinces at the present time than at any period during the five years. This problem, the resolution declared, was further complicated by the lmmlgratlono policy of the Dominion government. The agreement whereby the railways were enabled to bring Into Canada men and women fer railway work of one year's duration, deprived Canadians of jobs, a third resolution said. The resolution urged tlie government to cancel tlie agreement and allow Canadians the first opportunity of acquiring tbe railway work.

I As given out to the press, the unanimous opinion of these "inen of affairs is that factories should be kept running, wages 'should be maintained at their It present level, investment should go on ■ in private under- 1 takings iand public improve- .ments; even if this involves defiance of the theory that dull .-■times and good times follow reach other in "waves" which are beyond the control of man. This in order that there may .Continue to be work and wages -for all, and that the purchasing power of the public may be' maintained. A good many years ago Rev. _T. de Witt Talmadge aroused wide interest and no little ,*mount of criticism by declaring that good times and bad times did not come as the act _of God, but as the result of public opinion. Experience has tahown that the preacher knew better than the capitalists and industrialists where the "economic "storms" come from. It is pretty well accepted now that people never achieve a condition of prosperity unless : they believe they can bring it about; and that nothing more surely brings depression than a general expectation that de- presssion is bound to come. It ought to be good news to Canadians that the political, financial and industrial leaders of the United States are marshalling their forces to fight depression, and that they evidently intend to throw all their resources of money, brains arid experience into the battle. Depression in the United States need not necessarily mean depression in Canada. Sometimes it has meant the contrary. But ' no one can doubt, if the United States can prevent widespread unemployment and stagnation there, that Canada will share indirectly in the benefit. CAN'T TRUST THEM Housekeeping Br nsAVKA A.

That at least clears the situation. Having repudiated responsibility for them, Moscow will have no ground for proper protest if the agitators are hanged or shot. And it makes plain again that the Soviet cannot- be bribed to cease its malevolent activities in other countries. Lloyd George thought he had bought it off, until he discovered the contraary. The MacDonald government is left under no delusion. It is told at the outset that Moscow retains "entire liberty of action" to undermine authority, destroy order, and "Russianize" any part of the Empire into which it can smuggle the ambassadors, of ruin.

Snow Shoes re- Hunt.rs, Trappers, Prospectors—We have Jul ceived a shipment of the famous "Kenyon" -pattern Snow Shoes made up to our specific8t -t new rtgion, u it hu been known for k century, tnd twenty years ago there were enough people who believed in it to cause the construction of a railway from Edmonton into the heart of the country. The new thing consists in the conviction of a multitude of people, wh» were long skeptical, tbat the region it fit for tgriculturtl settlement, ud tbat it has such possibilities that it may some day be so important u to become a new Province of the Canadian Federation. Tbe extension of activities to the north all across the country promises a broad Canada, equal to the width of tbe United States from the Gulf of Mexico to Chicago. Taken by itself, this is ona of the most Important developments in Canada during our tine. Mr. A. E. Phippt, Central Manager, »«id, in part: PROFITS UP *10W«O Ths profits, yoti have heard by the Report, tnount to fl.KI,Ml, being $102,000 mare then a year ago. I repeat, u is customary, the declaration that these profits have been arrived at after making provision for all unearned interest on bills discounted and such items, ind titer providing for all known bad ud doubtful debts, and for every contingency we can think of. DEPOSITS INCREASE $4,100,900 Turning to the Balance Sheet, the liabilities of the Bank have now reached the very substantial total of one hundred ud fifty-four ud a half million', of which nearly sixteen millions tre due to tbe shareholders, leaving $IJB400_C_ due to tbe public in one form or uother. This is u incretse of $4,500,000, tnd represents u increase in the business of the Bank, particularly in deposits. The non-interest-bearing deposits, while they have ffuctuated during the yetr, show on the end of October within about $100,000 of tbe same figure at which they stood a yeu ago, but the increase in deposits bearing interest, which to a great extent represent the savings deposits of the Bank, have Increased by $4,800,000, or 4.68 per cent. CASH ASSETS $26,212,000 When we turn to the assets we find that our gold, legal tenders and Bank balances and cheques on other Banks and assets of that character are equal to practically 20 per cent, of our liabilities to the public, the total being $26,- 212,000, or $822,144 more thu a year ago. The total quick assets, in which we include Dominion and Provincial Securities, Call Loans and other items of that kind, are 49.55 per cent, of our public liabilities compared with 66 per cent, la! year. Tbe difference has been absorbed In the increase in our current lout, whirl, hive grown from $67,356,000 to $80, 000,000, due largely to loans against un exported wheat. The call loans in Canada have not increased, being $11,171,000, compared with $11,831,000 in October, 1928. There has been a very steady and persistent demand for money for all lines of industry during tbe year, and tbe current loans nf all the Banks, as you no doubt are aware, are swollen at the present time, partly owing to this condition, and partly to so much of the 1-920 wheat crop, ud even a considerable portion of the 1928 crop, being unexported, for reasons which you see day by day in the newspapers. Once this wheat moves, as it undoubtedly will sooner or later, the money tied up in loans will flow back to the Banks, and the situation as regards current loans will automatically adjust itself. PLENTY OF PROMISE FOR FUTURB tn surveying the situltion, provided we do not indulge in uother wtve of speculation or anything of that sort, there is plenty of promise for the coming year and beyond. The national finances are buoyant and the pubUc debt is being seduced; the large Railway Companies have evidently sufficient confidence to continue their orders for rolling stock and equipment, steamboat?, hotels and sucb like without reduction; the branch lines program for next year in the Northwest, I am told, is greater thu ever; the markets for high-grade securities are improving ud It looks as if the improvement will become permanent; Hydro-Electric development is going on apace, the huge Bcauham. ... project on the St. Lawrence is Well under way, t\,o developments of major importance are taking place in Manitol j, tbe ume is true of B.C.; the prospert.a for not vear's crop in the Northwi i are said to be good; the newsprint in dustry shows no signs of further slacker, ing, but the indications are rather that the demand for the product will be in- cnued perhaps at higher prices.

Dec. 3—{By Hugh W. Robertson, Ltd., leased wire)—Although strength was exhibited In the two leaders. International Nickel and Noranda, trading was alow and stocks moved within narrow price ranges on the Toronto standard Stock and Mining exchange today. This quiet market condition ls favorably looked on ln brokerage circles and financial paper may be quoted as stating one of the most apparent conditions ln the financial market* of the moment is comparative dullness. Economist* and other students of stock market and business conditions are gradually amassing imposing arrays of statistics which "boll-down" Into expression* of confidence. Due allowance ls being made for seasonal functuations and periodic reversals of trend but. In the main, real danger spots seem lacking." In the meantime the stock market* wlll probably continue to work through their present phase of relative quietness untll volume of fresh buying becomes sufficiently large to thoroughly absorb the Increased floating supplies of most stocks but gradually the slack should be taken up and the foundation completed for the next rising market. NICKEL IH UP International Nickel opened at 990.76 and closed $30.80, net gain of SIM. Noranda appreciated »1.10 to close of •36.&0 of the Lindsley Issues Sudbury Basin was the heaviest trader from opening of $1.05 to close of 13.92. Sherritt Gordon, Falconbridge Nickel and Ventures showed recessions for •session trading. These recessions are thought to be the result of profit taking as all reports from the actual operations are distinctly encouraging. Tlie gold issues again showed steadiness. Amulet wa* firm to close at $1.76. Teck Hughes appreciated 6 cents Wright Hargreaves at $1.30 was two up. The other gold stocks traded new lant close prices. The oil* traded actively with Merland again the leader ln strength and activity. The recent blowing ln of the Merland has had the effect of attracting more attention to the oil section of the hoard. Merland this nu riling opened higher at $1.60, traded to high of $1.72. At this point profit taking occurred, causing stocks to recede to low of $1.60 before closing $161. Sterling Pacific, also suffering apparently "-under profit taking, closed 3 down at $1.46. Calmont failed tb retain its strong opening and closed $1 03. A. P. C. in one sale was $3.18.

The latter would include the Tip Top copper mine at Kasha- bowle, the silver properties of Animik. le Mlnee. Ltd.. tn Thunder Bay district; Mormac Development Co., Ltd., and Sudbury Crater Mining Co., Ltd., in the Bellevue silver-lead district north of Sault Ste. Marie, and numerous others.

Among the more important of theae might be mentioned Great Slave lake, Athabasca lake, Chlbougamau ln northern Quebec; several Nova Scotia prospects; the Gaspe lead-zinc fields, and many others. While the pioneers of air and trail are pushing back the mineral frontiers to the north and west it cannot be forgotten thit scores of old fields along the established railway lines are getting new attention. The latter, perhaps, may be reasonably regarded as the greater hope for the future even than tne newer fields In remote regions. RAILWAYS LEND HELP Availability of railway transportation ot favorable geological conditions still attracts some at the most competent of the nation's prospectors and - developers. Dollars ln value per ton of ore are added by the proximity of established railway lines, and though the far-flung efforts of aerial prospecting companies and pioneering development organizations are bringing closer the day of production from new and remote mineralized areas, the old abandoned fields within bound of the locomotive's whistle are getting more attention than has been the case in years past. Not only is the mining Industry of Canada in the strongest position in history from the standpoint of current output and in unprecedented increase ln ore reserves, but the imposing array of new discoveries and prospective mines lend to the future a degree of promise which le brighter than has ever before been apparent. This is a time for optimism with regard to the Canadian mining industry. -.- ____._.__,. )niplrChrislm%s The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd.

"What was the matter last night? What kept you so late?" If she AMI been afraid of the answer, she wuold not have asked the question. But In the reassurance of his presence, ahe was ashamed even to remember her lurid terror, her torture of distrust. . _ Cilff had turned his back once more. "Oh. lt wasn't so very late.

"Thanks". Joyce had already flung a kirnon* around her shoulder* and disappeared towards the bathroom. They oouW talk like that, in ordinary t-ne-B about ordinary things, as if nothing had 'happened. So, thought Joyce, deception was easy, easy for her tool The only difference was that she watched every movement, even' phrase, aa if the commonplace had become a drama and the words they spoke were not conversation but written dialogue. Was his absorption in the morning paper exaggerated? Was it a barrier purposely erected between them, becauae, while reading, he nesd not risk speech? The tension ln the air became unbearable. Could she possibly keep it up? 'More coffee. Cliff?" He would have to lay down the paper and look at her! But bis face was Just—a face without expression, without meaning. "Mo, thanks. By the way Joyce, did you ever try making coffee with an egg Instead ef a percolator?" He did not want to aay lt, but he had to1 Coffee ruby-red in the spoon.

They had never had coffee except lithe percolator, and Cliff had never before taken a technical interest ln food. What did he know *b_ut egg coffee? What did he mean? Cliff looked across at her sharply But her voice, after a moments pause, was entirely natural. "Why, no-," she said, 'Ive' never done It, but it would be easy enough to look lt up, lf you think you'd like lt that way for a change." WiiaR he nrvor -going to \y abl to get out of the house? But he mustnt hurry too much; It would look strange. And would he have tn keep this up forever, always on thc alert, never at ease, while Joyce, serene and unsuspecting, would always be on the brink of finding htm out? For one wild moment he yearned to throw his paper on the floor and stamp on it; to come around the table to her and drop to the floor with his head on her lap an tell her everything. But he couldn't. He Wouldn't shatter oil her content and confidence like that. .-And sbe wouldnt understand—women never did understand such things. They Just thought of them ts personal injuries; to forgive—or not to forgive-- an most likely, either way. to hold over a man till the end of time. It was their best weapon and they used it! When Cliff rose frcm the table Joyce was busily moving about carrying dishes to the sink. It 'was his watch with an air of surprise. "Oee, I've got to fly!" he exclaimed. He could hurry away very naturally, without stopping to kiss her. Tm a locdl" he told himself fiercely. And yet, however suspicious the omission might be, he could not do—he could not give Joyce a kiss of betrayal. t'To be Continued* Kaslo Notes KASLO, B.

"They live In ln a gloomy old-fashioned building, hedged In by big warehouses in a narrow street behind St. Paul's Cathedral. Por their exercise and games they are caged ln on top of are roof, with only one afternoon a week, to get to their playing fields ln the country. "There Is a call to the Cathedral dignitaries to provide a building with more air ana sunshine for these boys (numbering 35), remebering that their glorious voices depend ou health conditions. Cathedral Services, and Choir School during the week demand constant attention from the boys, and on Sundays, when other people are free, their duties are heavy." It is undestood that the Dean and Chapter are much concerned about heir boys, an are not happy respecting the present arrangements. PRINCE TOO TIRED TO DANCE, GLASGOW GLASGOW. Scotland.
