Tho minister's conduct in this matter has constituted an injustice to the men and a pervcrsflfo ot the Industrial Disputes Act." Such was tbe opinion expressed by Frank Car veil, of Carlton, In the house last week concerning lite repeated refusal of Hon. T. W. Crothers. minister of labor, to grant a board of conciliation in the dispute between the Canadian Hr other hood and the C. P. R. and his subsequent inactivity in bringing about the enforcement of the findings of the board after it had finally been appointed. For the greater part of the afternoon the minister sat with hat pulled down on his brow, while a do/en members of the opposition delivered an attack against the policy which, in this case, he had pursued, iron.

The application .of the Brotherhood, said the minister^ bail not irevn technical^ incorrect. The organisation: composed a largd number of classes. Their grievances numbered 21). it would have taken long to investigate the matter—therefore, the hoard had refused. M. I). Carvell declared that under the provisions of the act the minister had no discretion in the matter of granting a board. In thc matter of enforcing the award when made the minister had pursued the same dilatory methods which be had em ployed for the past year with the men in the face of a threat that they would strike. "The minister," declared Sir Wilfrid Laurier, "may have made a correct idea of the meaning of the law but bis view did not constitute substantial justice. He says that hr refused to grant thc board because Ihe men had 2,1 grievances. WliU it they had u hundred, The more grievances they had the greater the need for investigation." The discussion interested Hon, fleorge 1*. Graham, because the civ had been raised against him in the Renfrew by-election thut he had done nothing to settle the Oraml Trunk strike, and yet bad nothing to do with tbe labor department. This very organization was recognized hy thc government on Its own line, the Intercolonial. When it ennie to recognition on a company line, the government did not think they should have it. The 20 grievances of the men were such as were contained in every schedule, which was never submitted to the railway company W. A. Buchanan, of I.elhbridge, declared that there was an opinion in the west tbat the C.l'.H. had the ear ol tbe government and that its employees need not look toward Ottawa for assistance. Was it any wonder that such an impression went abroad? "If this court is only to Ire opened when the arbitrary opinion of the minister of labor shall decide," said W. E. KiiowIcr, of Moose Jaw, "then the usefulness of this act will he takei. away. Once tbe suspicion is created that the department is not an impartial tribunal, the department might as wl'11 go out of business. The minister of lahor should err, if he errs nt all, on the side of the weak party and not nf the big corporation." "The minister owes it lo this house, and to the'people, to let them know where he stands on this mat. ter," said E, M. Macdonald, of ,Pie- tou. "If the act Is not good, docs he Intend to repeal It? If It is lacking in certain features, docs he Intend to amend it? Or does he prefer to nullify its provisions by refusing to put them into force'*" If the act was not a workable act, CROTIIKRS CRITICISED. Ottawa, Jan. 22.—The short Wed- hesday sitting of thc commons was marked by a discussion of several matters of general interest. A long debate hinged on a motion by Hon. Rodolpho Lemieux for thc production of papers relating to the application ol the Brotherhood of Railway Employees of the C.P.R. for a hoard .of conciliation. The minister of labor was criticised for not having appointed a general board by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, F. B. Carvell, Hon. Geo. P. Graham, W. A. Buchanan and others. The government's defence was made hy Hon. T. ,W. Crothers and Premier Borden, who, in the course of a short speech, said that fhc minister had acted in what he conceived to be the best interests of the men. He asserted that the government had nothing to conceal in regard to this matter, and that thc papers would be produced. Hon. Redolpbe Lemieux, in moving for all the correspondence between the department of labor and the C. P. R. bearing on the application ol the Brotherhood of Railway Employers for a board of conciliation, expressed .,'.vrpri:re teat the minister had not named a hoard under the Disputes and Investigation Act. While not desiring to discuss the question until the papers had been brought down, be would ask the minister to make an explanation of thc matter to the house. F. B. Carvell, speaking in support of the motion, expressed surprise that the speaker should suggest to secure competent men at wages ranging from $30 to $40 per month. He claimed that the minister had disregarded the act; that thc application having heen made in proper form, he had no Choice but to grant the hoard. "As I construe the law," said Mr. Carvell, "the minister has no discretion in the matter. He Is compelled if he respects the law, to carry . it out. Tlie act distinctly states that he 'shall' name n board." This be had refused to do in the face ol the statements of the men that tbey would go on strike if a hoard were not granted. Finally, In ord*r to escape a row in parliament, he had capitulated and named a partial board, applying only to the Ottawa division of the system. This board had sustained the contentions or the men both as to claims for increased wanes and lor recognition of their union. Since the report of the board was made public six weeks have elapsed and yet the men have not been taken bock. It was difficult, Mr. Carvell said, to reconcile •ondiiet of the minister with iffc winter rum SHOW LOCAL ASSOCIATION INTEND MOLDING SHOW IN CRANBROOK NEXT SEAMON. The new year of the Cranbrook Poultry und Pet Stock association has now opened and the directors at recent mooting have mapped out a programme for tho year that promises to be of much interest. They hope to have breed studies and .induing classes of tho different breeds at the meetings witii good warm discussions ou the same. Several papers are scheduled for delivery and demonstrations on dressing fowls, egg testing und other lines of work will be given. A strong effort is going to be made to so strengthen the association this year as to justify holding a winter show next season, and to that end every utility poultry man, every fancier, whether actively engaged .it present or only a past master in the work, and every citizen willing |and treatment when tieccssar to encourage the building up of an porto(j p|itllts js incalculable industry that promises much for the general good of Cranbrook and is especially adapted to the district, is urged to come along and extend a helping hand, by attending tin meetings ^nd swelling the membership list.

The duly of this committee will he to take evidence in connection with the tariff on all classes of goods and to report to an extra session of congress which will Mien take its own aotilon upon th, matter.

An Interesting discussion on tires* nml kindred subjects took place lathe house ol commons tho other day. a brief report of which will be timely, at least it shows that some of tbe members are awake and alive to the requirements of the most important element iu their country's population-, the farmers. V summary of the report referred to above, reads as follows: Ottawa, -Ian. 27.—The preparation of a programme for the discussion of important phases in the relations between the producer and the consumer was advocated by Major Currie, of Simcoe, in the agriculture and colonisation committee last week, and steps will be taken at once for the formation of a sub-committee to carry out the plan. The committer generally agreed 'hat its scope should be enlarged to include work of a more practical nature than former- h. Its opening session was well attended hy the farmer members of 'the house, nearly every individual 1 present giving his views of the problems of greatest importance in various parts of the Dominion. Kour important subjects, in thc opinion of Major Currie. merited consideration. He would first suggest tbat the question of cooperative methods should he considered. In former days neighbor helped neighbor, but the system was now going out of fashion. A second subject for discussion should he tire lueb cost o) living. Investigation should be made as to the reasons for the present spread in prices between the producer and thc consumer.

A third matter for inquiry, in the major's opinion, should be as to how to bring most effectively agricultural training to tbe gate of thc farmer hy the existence ol demonstration work, etc. The decline In the export ol dairying and farm products generally from Canada was a further subject which would warrant Investigation.

Donald Sutherland, or South Oxford, was of the opinion that one of the chief problems lacing the committee was to teach the western larraei how to farm They were mining their land out there, he averted and they should be encouraged to go into mixed farming, "Wc nl the west," retorted Levi Thomson, practical farmer from Qu'- Appelle, "an* accustomed to .hearing lectures from the east on the proper metbods < I (arming in our own country, and we have come to smile at this advice.

If. Douglas, of Strathcona, said tbat the great problem ln Alberta was the scarcity of labor. Many- acres had been unharvested this year on account of the impossibility of getting men. He advocated the appropriation of a large sum of money for a careful system of assisted immigration. Ihincan Ross was also interested in the apple industry of tbe east. Ho had seen good apples rotting on the ground in Middlesex- county while there was a fruit famine in the west. It was a lamentable fact that most of the apples eaten in Alberta came from Washington. Major Currie advocated the formation of exchanges among the fruit growers of Ontario and the building of warehouses both jn the province and at Winnipeg. A motion was introduced to tbe effect that tire house be asked to refer that part of the report of t1» minister d agriculture dealing with the fruit industry to be taken up at the next meeting, and that a subcommittee lie appointed to plan an agenda. Certain dates will be set. when the various topics will be discussed and witnesses called HON. MMtTIN BlIUtKLL'S PART Hon. Martin Burrcll has introduced] his hill to provide for the expenditure during the next ten yenrs of ten million dollars to aid agiirulture. At the outset he said that it was based on a promise made hy Mr Borden when in opposition, that if elected to power be would grant assistance to the provinces in agriculture. \\ preliminary step had been taken last year, but before outlining his complete statement, Ut. C. C .lame!* hail been appointed lo make a thorough investigation of the whole subject. Dr. .lames had consulted with the various provincial gomnmcrits and the men in charge ol the various agricultural Institutions, and the fault ol his work would be found in the terms of the bill Mr. Burrcll went on to say that tire problem which confronted Canada today Is the ever increasing cost ol living and the • increase of urban as against rural population. In Canada we take a natural pride in our great and growing cities, hut we should be poor citizens if wc did not try to mitigate and avert the attendant, evils which follow undesirable expansion in that direction. The minister then quoted figures to show that while in lire past ten years the urban population Increased by 48.8 per cent the rural population increased hy only l.fi per cent. In Western Canada, the urban population increased by 222 per cent and the rural hy 14,8 per cent. It would be conceded, be said, that despite the. (Continued on page six).

Within the last twenty or twenty- live years, the science of geology has developed in a direction that has brought it into direct and serviceable association with those classes of commercial enterprise that are dependent on engineering. While is especially, true in respect of mining, jl applies almost equally to railroading, municipal engineering, and other activities of a like nn- ttlro. The dependence of mining on variably included on the permanent staff of every mining corporation of importance; and the demand in recent years for the services of capable men to occupy such positions bus been (|Utt0 out of the proportion to the supply. It is recognized universally, in short, that the debt of the mining industry to geology is enormous, and the obligation continues to increase steadily. This largely explains the circumstance that the invitation to the International Geological Congress to hold the next meeting in Canada was made, not only at tlw instance of the t Canadian and Ontario governments, and of the Hoyal Society of Canada, but at that of the Canadian Mining Institute, an association representative, in a truly national sense, of jthe mining Industry of this country. It is believed that this meeting will immensely benefit mining in ihe Dominion. From the educational and the scientific standpoints, much is to be expected from the interchange of views on Canadian conditions and problems, hy men (if international reputations.

The revenue lo he lost thereby is negligible, tbe advantages are great. The population of the I'nited States has been and will keep on increasing, the entire meat supply has been diminishing and will keep on diminishing. Mexico, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and other sources of supply must be tapped. The United States must have foreign cattle and meats because it has not and cannot have enough of its own and because it is destined to be more and more industrialized and populous. Free meat is for the greatest good Ol the greatest number, it is a necessity.'1 A year and a ball ago Canadian producers Ol cattle were offered free entry for their products into this rich UtilUjd States market and a preference in that market over and above all other countries iu tbe world. The I'nited States offered to remove all duties on Canadian live stock, while maintaining such duties against the rest ot the world. Ranchers and other cattle raisers in Western Canada were extremely anxious tn accept the advantages of this splendid offer. The Liberal party did accept it and the Laurier government introduced a bill iu parliament containing Canada's acceptance of ft. But the big interests of eastern Canada opposed the opening of the United States market to our people. These big interests insisted that they and they only should he allowed to buy, handle and reap profits on the cattle ot the west. And seeing his chance of political gain, the emoluments of office audi j the sensafion of power It. L..Borden entered into a compact with these big interests pledging himself to oppose freedom for the producers of the west if they, the big interests, in retain would put up a big enough campaign fund" to buy the way (if j the Tory party into power. ! This deal, as nefarious as any known in the history of the Dominion of Canada, a deal in which the liberties of thc west were bought and sold, was successfully carried through; and this country was denied one of tbe greatest boons ever offered it. The triumph of the big interests, the ■placing of Mr. Borden in bis coveted) position of power, cost the people of Western ^Canada untold millions nf dollars. Beef alone has been selling at three dollars per hundredweight! higher in Chicago than in Winnipeg. Ranchers and other Canadian raisers of cattle have had to sustain this loss in order that the big interests might wax fatter and Mr. Borden plume himself as prime minister. It may be tbat congress will shortly remove the duties on meat and food animals, and that Canada will greatly benefit thereby, but the gain to this country will not he what it would have been under the reciprocity agreement. tinder reciprocity Canada was granted tariff concessions accorded to no other country, but under the proposed tariff irvisioni measure this country will only receive the same advantages given all other countries. Canada lost, and lost heavily, the defeat of reciprocity. And person has yet been able to point an) single thing) this country gained by the rejection of the policy of free trade and wider markets. to by to P- BURNS & CO., LTD. Cranbrook, B.

Information has readied us, remarks the London, Eng., Daily News and Leader, of recent date, whieh throws nn important light upon the present manoeuvres of the Unionist party in regard to food taxation. We understand that when Mr. Hor- den, the prime minister of Canada, visited this country in the autumn of last year in order to discuss ihe naval position with the government, there wert. important communications between ihe heads of tlie Unionist party and the Canadian premier. The net result of these communications is that the Unionist party hi this country is, more or less, bound by an understanding with the Conservative government in Canada that they will, uphold the policy of imperial preference ln this country. Since that policy cannot be carried out either with Canada or Australia without taxing food, it follows that the Unionist leaders are now bound in honor to remain faithful to the policy of food taxation. Viewed in thc light of this information, several matters become very much clearer. One is Mr. Honar Law's new policy of submitting tlie whole question to a conference of ihe oversea dominions. It follows that if the Unionist lenders have already been in informal conference with the prime minister of Canada, it is but tlie natural sequence of that action (hut, they should be ready to niter into ;t colonl discussion afd matter The seconj becomes c hint ,\\'hich cert ail ferv UK HERALD |al conference for the incision of the whole main This those 1 inter- Oftscure matter that, larer is the mysterious fliiS been thrown out in Hit quarters on tin. subject of an obligation of Un* t nionist leaders to tne Canadian government, Mr. Garvin, for instance, writing in the "Obscr-er," has seveial times referred verj mysteriously to promises made to Mr. Honirn. new information shows what promises probably were. We i.nderstand that in tlii change of views between tbe Conservative partjf in Canada and the Unionist pari' in England Mr. Hor- den pouted o'lt (hat the Canadian govern!) est lu.il come into power on a pledge to upttold the policy of preference t i (heft Britain as an alternative lo rec.uiocily to the I'nited .Slates Hut if clearly intimated thut the nuiiite'.ance of this position would depend uj.on the practicability of imperial pferoien'ce. The Hritish Liberal party being opposed to .preference, it followed that If the Unionist paity gave it up the policy would he, for all practical purposes, practically dead on this side of the Atlantic Hinder those circumstances the Canadian government would regard themselves as having a. free hand to reconsider the situation. They, too, might turn their hacks on the imperial preference already established in Canada (a 83 per cent preference to certain classes or Hritish goods). It follows, therefore, that the Unionist leaders cannot possibly adopt the policy of the "Daily Telegraph" and postpone the question of fooil taxes until after the next election, for the reply of Canada would probably he that they could not wait. Imperial preference would be given up in the Dominion, and it would he impossible /or a Hritish .party to re> sume the policy in this country. Tlie policy would he dead. Visiting Kngland iu thc summer ot lftil, .Sir Wilfrid Laurier warned Ihe Liberals in this country ol a possible combination bet,wren the Protectionists in Canada and the Protectionists In Great Britain. lie has himself suffered very heavily from that combination, and his policy of free trade on tbe North American continent has been defeated. Tlie trusts have won in Canada, and they are doing their best to help the.r friends ii> England. The result in Canada lias been—we arc credibly informed—to give a serious set-back lo the prosperity of the wheat fields in the far west, where the farmers cannot1obtain their natural market towards thc south for Canadian wheal. What is to be the result in England? Is this sinister, combination between the Protection** ists in the various parts of the empire to succeed in raising the price of the cost of thc food of the Hritish people? If so, then it will be the greatest blow that has ever been delivered to the very existence of tbe British empire. LOSING YOUR HAIR ? Read What a Herpicide Enthusiast Says. You are becoming bald.

DOMINION GRANGE ASK FOR INCREASE THE BRITISH PREFERENCE.

Th? master again demanded reciprocity with the United States in natural products, urged an increase in the British preference, opposed the construction by the federal government ol leading roads throughout the country, favored the inauguration, of a parcels post, local option in assessment reform and a referendum on the navy question. He denounced militarism in the schools, and in general spoke of injustice buffered- by farmers in many lines of taxation to assist favored interests, monopolies and so-called infant Industries to pay large dividends on stock, much of which is water.

The teams represented were the Thistles and the Tigers. Although it may not sound possible, the Tiger sat down on the Thistle with evident enjoyment. However, it is to be hoped it will see the point in the near tuture and not be so rash. The players were: Tigers, R. Brown, with scores of 145—131— 133; R. Mansfield, 1111-114-98, P.

As u general thing the Canadian government's policy is splendid, but a et-liug is growing that, as regards a permanent policy, Hritish Indi>, Australia, New- Zealand and I aada should unite and establish a Met in the Pacific ocean which, iu Mr. .losleu's opinion, is the one to la* guarded, in view of the "yellow peril." "We are somewhat more ia sympathy with the Vnited States in New Zealand thai, you are," said Mr. Joslcn, "Ami we would expect its help ii case any danger should a:ise fi 'oi i Oriental invasion."

Irving and his aldermantc slate who entered the field as advocates of mota! reform polity in suppon of which tlie ministerial association has been carrying on a bitter and vindictive campaign -inc.. early last fall. Although Keefe's election was gen- eialh expected, tlie large majority of one hunhred ;.hd eighty-nine which he secured w;is a surprise as ii was not anticipated that tho mitral reform proposals would be so emphatically repudiated, A featuie of the election was the large numbei nf women voters who lurtied out to the polls. This vote was claimed largely by the moral reformers bul the rcBiill seems to In- dicafe] that the women must have voted with their husbands. It was Irving's third defeal as mayoralty candidate. Keefe.'s alderinanie slate includes .lames Johnstone, well known railway and mining engineer who is now ranching near Nelson; A.

The net, he said, should be administered in as conciliatory manner as possible. This bad been the mile in the past and it had done much good. In conclusion he said he would suspend final Judgment in the matter until all the, papers bad been brought down. Premier Borden agreed that tbe question could not be properly discussed without the papers Tbe op- posltion should have given notice thai the motion was to be discussed In dealing with this matter he said the minister of labor had been Impressed Willi fncl thai such an Investigation as was proposed might nol resiili in the most good to the men.

Tbe government, be said, had nothing to conceal in regard lo the matter and the papers would be produced. , He reuretted that some of the employees who bad gone on strike are still without their positions and expressed the hope that this condition would not continue. Hun. Geo. P. Graham said tbat ihe attitude of the minister revealed a remarkable change In the last few months. During the South Renfrew by-election he, as former minister of railways, had been accused nf not being true lo the Grand Trunk employees because he had failed to secure their reit.stalrmeiit. lie could no! see, therefore, how the present, minister could expeel to escape blame. The government was in peculiar position because Ibis brotherhood which had been refused a hoard insofar ns the C\\p H. was concerned, had heen recognized by thc I.C.R. a government-owned railway. There was no reason why a general board should nol have lieen granted. It was the work nf the department of labor to settle strikes.

Tbey were anxious to get something upon which in condemn the minister rather than lo assist Ibe C.P.R. employees. As ,i matter of fact, he said, a board bad heen granted. Those having grievances had submitted their eases and a decision had been banded down. If thai decision were to be questioned, that was quite another matter. Hon Mr, Lemieux referred to a resolution passed at thc recent labor congress in Guolph, Ont., calling far the repeal of tile act, and said, that one reason adduced for tbe action was the administration of the acl by the department of labor. Hon. Mt, Crothers: "The labor congress was held Ipng before the refusal of a board and consequently the refusal had nothing to do with, it. The motion as n matter of fact, was based on the Montreal street railway dispute and that was brought before the department before we came into power," Mr. Lemieux continued that the objection of the labor men was as to tbe delays and technical objections raised in the department. He thought ii was the duty of the minister to put the measure into force whenever possible and to give it bis sympathy. The minister should not fear tbe magnitude of the case, it. was quite true that labor sometimes had imaginary grievances but it should be easy for the minister to find out the particular grievance showing where Ihe shoe pinched." ''This act," Mr. Lemieux said, "in spile of the resolution ol the labor congress has within the last five or six years been the means of settling ninety eases out of every one hundred submitted to it. It would be a ureal pity indeed if through undue leanings loward tile corporations, i hough with this 1 do nol charge the minister, the department should defeat the very ends of this legislation." the of Ml Ituih.iii.iu remarked thai board named had found in fav the men.

If this goes on Indefinitely, where will il hind us? ashed Mr. Burrcll. He proceeded: "We, in this parliament who are making the laws of the nation, may well ask. ourselves 'in [it way can be,best solve these questions of great national concern'.'" It will not be denied that the safe- n-iarding of its productive classes is i matter of fundamental importance to tbe nation. But in regard to the tgricultural life of our country il is not alone a betterment of economic conditions that we should aim al, mt something liner—the creation of a rural civilization which will at once induce n fuller and happier life to those in its midst, and prove a source and fount of strength to the slate itself. I nsofar as I bis federal government is concerned, we have come to the conclusion that we can besl bring ibotit this work by freely assisting the agricultural population. If we are told that this is an innovation, we answer that il is the people's money, drawn from them, and it is not only defensible but desirable tlinl such money be spent in the most efficient way to oBtaln the objects referred to. "In choosing education or Instruction as a desirable line which federal expenditure should take, we are following the best method of the most progressive countries. Practical- It no advance was made in. agricultural progress in the great German nation until the system if secondary and elementary agricultural instruction was organized during the second half of the last century." Mr. Burrcll then reviewed nl some length what bud been done along educational lines for the farmers in Great Britain. Denmark, Belgium, and France. 11 i-- proposed by thc bill to strengthen nil lines of instruction and educational work. The scientific researches of the past half century have revolutionized agriculture, but the full benefits of these researches bgve not reached tlie great multitude who today till the fields of Canada.

For more serious burns, too, it is unequalled. Mr, .lohn Johnston,; of 731 South Marks Street, Fort William, Out., a moulder in t'opp's Foundry, says: "Some time ago I burned the top of my foot severely by dropping some molten iron from a ladle I was carrying, A large hole was burned through my shoe and into the top of my foot. 1 .was taken home, and Zam-Buk was applied to Ibe burn directly. Il was surprising what relief ibis balm alTordcd. The hum was so deep and so serious that it required careful attention, but Zam Huk prevented other complications arising, and as it was daily applied, soothed the pains and allayed the inflammation- In the course of two weeks the hole burned iu my foot had heen quite healed." Mr. W. B. Gibson, of Belleville, writes: "Wc have tried Zam-Buk often on cuts and sores, and T think lliere.is nothing that can equnl^lt."

"The particular form such assistance may take," said Mr, Burrcll,, "may vary "with the special needs and conditions in each province. It will embrace the increased efficiency and eqiiipiiu-ni of our agricultural colleges, the establishment of agricultural schools, of horticultural schools, tbe establishment of short courses in agriculture, the initiation of agricultural teaching in the public schools, and work by travelling or qualified instructors. It might well include valuable work carried on by means of demonstration trains, traint- ing of the teachers in nalure study and the invaluable work of domestic science, concerned with tbe women and girls of our communities, whose influence will always constitute one of the most, potent forces in solving Ihe problems we are considering.' "We restrict the hill to education because hy so doing we get at the hue base of successful production!. As ait educational work to be effective must be continuous, we propose to make the policy cover a period of ten years. 'From the consolidated revenue fund it is proposed to set apart the sum of ten million dollars to be expended over the period mentioned. The sum of $700,000 will be allotted the first year, and this amount will be increased by $100,000 annually until 1017 from which year until 1923, SI,100,000 will be provided annually. The gradual expansion and growing equipment of the provincial organizations will be met in this way more helpfully than by starting at the million mark), "Speaking broadly, we have adhered to the principle of division on a population basis. The slight modification of this principle which have been adopted will, I trust, meet the approval of the house. "Thus in the first place, we set apart $20,000 a year to he divided between such veterinary colleges as grant degrees and come up to the required standard. We do this on the ground that from the character of our veterinary work and for the reason that students in these institutions are drawn from all provinces iu Canada, they might be regarded as having a purely national com- plexiom "On this I will speak further when Ibe bill is before the house. "In addition to this $20,000 we propose lo allot to each province, regardless of population, the sum of $20,000. It has been urged—not without some reason—that support, should he shown to those provinces whose rural population is of large proportions, whose source of revenue is limited and whose agricultural development greatly needs stimulation.
