McCuaig STOKES COMMENTS ON TELEPHONE DISPUTE Member of Parliament, Jack Stokes, commenting on the telephone strike in Atikokan, says "the posi- tion taken by that Northern Telephone Co. in the present dispute with their employees, is discrimina- tory and indefensible." Their employees, doing the same work as those of Bell Telephone, who has 85% control, are grossly underpaid by comparison. The disparity between employees of both companies performing the same duries, runs as high as $1400 'per year. This group of employees deserves the un- qualified support of not only all unorganized labor, but the public, and the Department of Labor. When a large corporation such as Bell Telephone, enjoys a virtual monopoly of such an important utility, they have a responsibility to provide and maintain an efficient service, but not at the expense of em- ployees of one of their subsidiaries . It is high time the Department of Labor demanded that this Company accepts its responsibility to its employees and the public. LEARN TO SWIM!

The apparent failure of the new spraying machine to cor- trol the blaekfly condition, very bad this year, was due not to the method in which it was be- ing used, nor the time of the day but simply to the most in- clement and variable weather.
