l Kect, tramed in 1908, 166 Prooisojn, um “1 ->> T E. a ts lot, ‘or as it is popularly known, the ‘‘Lemicux Act."‘Under the: old :Conciliation Act Mr. Mackenzic King was ealled‘ ‘upon to:take an active personal part in the adjustment . of disputes, and in over 40 of such dis< putes ‘from end to end â€" of Canada, in prabtically every sort of industry, he intervened suocessfully during . & m“.uv.!mgwththc beâ€" &"‘mu* ilarly known as. . the great, Peacemaker U~Cov£lhmt.‘i ./.

That measure broke entitely new ground in dealing with what is perhaps one of the most difficult proâ€" blems in the world, that of the setâ€" tlement of industrial disputes, and dealt with the subject so effectivaly that it has attracted the attention oi the statesmen of nearly all the readâ€" ing countries of the world. President Eliot of Harvard, alter a close invesâ€" tigation into the law, declared that it was the best measure ever enacted dealing with ‘industrial disputes. Dr. to recommend legislation along.. the lines o(:ZActvhidlmn my name and which I had the â€" pleasure> of Victor S. Clarke, a noted American scholar, whose life has been spent in investigating this and similar ques tions, came. here especially a lew! months ago as a Comnyssioner from President â€" Roosevelt to inquire into‘ the Act, and his official report reâ€" commends that similar legislation be enacted by the United States, No law enacted by Canada, and few laws enâ€" acted by any other country, chave received such universal tribute. The. Department of Labor has been inunâ€" dated with correspondence. on the subâ€" ject and particularly with testimonâ€" djals as to its good effects. As to these effects you must not be misled by the fact of a single failure, _ CI more than a single failure. The Act does not of course undertake to forâ€" bid strikes, or even fo prevent strikes or lockouts, but simply undertakes to aid in preventing and settling strykâ€" es and lockouts, and to furnish the machinery for _ rendeting this ¢id. How well it has succeeded in this respect you will appreciate when 1 mention that although not less than 50 disputes in coal mines, railways, street railways and similar great inâ€" dustries have been reforred under its provisions, up to the present time onâ€" ly in two cases has there been a strike after such a reference. ‘There have been other questions, | too, which have occupied Mr. King‘s attention, particularly of iate. You remember _ that a few months ago there was a great outcry ~on the subâ€" ject of Oriental immigration. For a few months or weeks there was a fear that British Columbia might cease to be a white man‘s country. Everything is so quiet now, and all the dangers that threatened or appeared to threaâ€" ten at that time, have beenâ€"so efâ€" fectively removed that it is dificult %o realize the change that has taken place. Let me tell you that this great change | was â€" very _ largely brought about by the rapid and cflcctive' work of Mr. Mackenzie King in conâ€" mection with the various invutiyv‘ tions and commissions on this subâ€" ject which were entrusted to him,and by his searching and comprehensive reports to the government on . *the matter. No one _ recognized imore promptly and more entirely than Mr. King the immensity of the problems involved in Oriental immigration and the intimate relation they bore _ to the nmiost vital welfare of _ Canada. No one could have conducted such investigations as fell to Mr. . King with more tact and sagacity than he The Government entrusted to . Mr., King the setticment of the claims of the Japanese and Chinese residents at? Vancouver arising out of the disâ€"! turbances a year ago, and thisâ€"dilâ€"; ficult mabter was promptly and . saâ€" tisfactoffly disposed of. . | King to enquire into the methods by which Orjental laborets had been inâ€" duced to come to Canada, and Lis ; labors in this direction, together with his admirable report on the subject, threw a flood of light on the whole question which largety paved the way for satisfactory atrafgements both as to â€" Japanese and East Indian immiâ€" graton. The understanding in the aase of India was reached asa direct reâ€" gult of Mr. King‘s mission to Great Britain, where as the representative Oof the Dominion Government he came into sontact with the first imâ€" ; .. @t ol _ the day, For "I know well from my Inen bhe GGVCL Coneiliation â€" Act Oriental â€" Problems Japanesg Clajms Orjental Labot ied e 1 look forward to the largest and best results Irom the new depar ture.

Occaâ€" sion to promote the public. welfare. rangement of al} dificulties that In the course of his investigation inâ€" to the question of Oriental t-?m tion in British Columbia, Mr.â€" King discovered ‘that an extensive traffic in opium . existed in British© Columbia, with | results of the most deplorable character, not only ‘to ~the Orieutals who had introduced the trafiic, â€" and chiefly carried it on, butâ€"to a ‘ large numser of white>people <as well. A special report was quickly prepared, so vigorous in its character and _ so ‘directiy podthg out a remedy to the evil © concerned that although a few days only remained of a long and arâ€" duotrs xession, ‘an â€"Act of Parliament was promptly pat through all its stages, and the evil traffic stamped out forever in Canada. The: last work of a special nature undettaken by Mr. King before the sererance of his connection with the Department was the condpcting of an investigation â€"into the cotton manuâ€" {acturing industry of Quebec, which again appears to have already | had important results in attracting pubâ€" lic attention in the Province to the extent to which child labor prevai in cotton mills, anm evil which requirâ€" es only to be known to the public at large to be removed, for if there ls" one thing more than another that the enlightened public in these days will m0t tolerate it is the abpuse of young thildren by spoiling and . deforming their _ lives in industrial establishâ€" ments. â€" I .think I have said enough to show you what manner of man you have selected as your candidate and what ~manner of man, as I hope,you will have as your . representative in the new Parliament. You can rest assured from what I havo said that MR. MACKENZIE KING IS NOT A MAN WHO WILL REST ON HIS OARS, BUTâ€" THAT THE WHOLE COUNTRY WILL REAP THE BENâ€" EFITS OF HIS ACTIVE BRAIN AND AGILE MIND EVEN MORE LARGELY THAN IN THE PAST, when he goes to Ottawa as the reâ€" pregentative of North Waterloo. Pogtoffice Department. Now, may I say a few words about the other great Department which it falls to my lot to administer. There are two points especially onâ€" which in this respect I would for a moment dwell. First the determaénation of the Government fecently arrived at to establish a system of rural mail delivery, and secondly, _ the revoluâ€" tlon accomplished a year or two ago, the preferenceâ€"the intellectual _ preâ€" ference, as I called it at the timeâ€" given to Britisl) periodicals. As to rural delivery, Mr, Borden acr; cuses the Government of stealing his policy. Sucha cry is trifling. The‘ system of rural mail delivery â€" has been for years in vogue in the Uniâ€" ted States and was open to us all to observe ard investigate as WO pleased, and has fong: been a mattet. of careful _ study and investigation by the Post Office Department _ of Canada, There hag never been nn,v] question of the desirability of estabâ€" Hshing a system with the necessary modifications in Canada, | but . the question has been only ore of pracâ€" ticability. This much at least . is certainâ€"had the Conservative party with its bigh tariff and splondid reâ€" venues continued in office the quesâ€" tion could nevor have become one of practical politics and you would nevâ€" er in my on, have heard of it as being included Mr. Borden‘s polâ€" icy.

(Cheers,) . Mackenzie King was a man of parts, courage and pluck, and his example was one which |yomng Canadians would do well to folâ€" ow." T Proceeding, Sir Wilirid said:â€" "All the: Opposition has is the cry of scanâ€" dal. You may ask what bave we done to merit the confidence of the peoplé.of Canada. In the first place, we have given to the people of Canada twelve years of . uninterrupted _ prospérity. (Cheers.) T remember in 1893 I attenâ€" ded a banquet at the Board of Trade in ‘the city of Toronto. My ; friend, Mr. George Eulas Foster, then . Minâ€" ister of Finance, ‘addressed the audiâ€" ence, and piled up mountains of figâ€" ures. to prove to the people of Canada that they were prosperous.â€" But the more figures Mr.:Foster â€"piled . up the more he proved that they were ‘ "Sir Charles Tupper, with lamentaâ€" tions, with tears in his eyes and in nis voice, declared that we had killed. theâ€"National Policy and ruined the inâ€" dustries of Canada. In that . stateâ€" ment there was at least half a truth. We killed the National Policy, _ and who regrets it? Who hears toâ€"day of the National Policy? It is dead, burâ€" jed and forgotten (Cheers.) But we have not killed the industries of Canâ€" ‘ada, and the best evidence is to be llocmd in this city of Berlin, where the industries are ten times _ more ‘flourishing than they were in 1897, \when we adopted o@r tarif." _ Sir |Wilfrid proceeded to point out that |the granting of the British preference had opened wider the.doors of the Briâ€" {tish market to Canadian goods. "If (is," he said, "a law of trade that jthe more you buy from a people .. the ‘more they buy from you." f Sir Wilfrid . proceeded: "1. cat s the scandal, for . this petty Tired ol Seandal Cl ts % cate Administration. He pointed to the> great influx. of . to Manitoba, Alberts n(mwn.ulto the rapid development of ~those Proâ€" vinces.. â€" Then â€" he touched upon . the question of transportation: and cited 1 number of the improvements that had been carried out.

QUeSe tion to â€" the House" of | Commnons, misled the House; that I stated ihat it m'em $13,000,000, whereas it is to cost some ~$200,000,000. Sir, that is a very small politics, it is very.small potatoes indeed, What I stated was this; that we were. to build the railway from Winfipeg _ .to Moncton, but lease it to the Grand Trunk Pacific Company, which. was to â€" pay interest _ upon it â€" except for.. seven years. _ Well, sir, it we build the _ railway and borrow the money to do so at three per cent. interest that will be covered by the payment of <interest we receive from the Grand Trunk Pacific under. ,the leaso. If a road cost oné million or two million the interest you pay cut with one hand you put. into . your pocket â€" with the other. If webad : made the condition that the company should commence payment as soon as the road . was completed not a dollar would you have to pay, but for seven yearsâ€"the interest is to be horne by the Canadian people and after sevâ€" en years it will be ~born by‘ the G.T.P. I estimated that the cost toâ€"us for seven years of the intercsti would _ be .$13,000,000. Perhaps in this I have beon too generous. Â¥ didn‘t expect that times would . be so good as they have been since. I did not expoct that the cost of laâ€" bor â€" would increase 25 per cent. and materials 35 per cent. or more.‘" Sit Wilfrid also refefred to the proposal. to build a railway to fludâ€" son‘s Bay, The Premier then spoke of what _ the ~Government â€" had done for â€" labor during the pastâ€"twelve years and sigâ€" nified his intention of . establishing a "portfolio ~of labor at his earliest opportunity. $ Had it been any person else I alâ€" most think I would have gone on to Toronto, where I had an engagement and would have been forced to deny myself the pleasure of being with you toâ€"day, It is such a unique thing for a young man to come back to his native place as Nr. King has done, not humbly begging something of you, but to come Lack full of honot, and invited by you to bu yourâ€" candidate. It does you honor as well; it is a step that you will never regret, if you elect | Mr. King as I am â€" sure you will. We want Mr. King in the House of Comâ€" mons, and _ I am sure that we are going to get him there." > Hon. Geo, P. Graham Pays a High Tribute to the Liberal Hon. George P. Graham, formet leader of tim Opposition in the Legâ€" islature, spoke but briefly on account of the lateness of the hour. le The . speaket stated that it was probable _ that Mr. .Foster would come to the riding if Mr. Borden did not. Mr. Foster would endeaâ€" vor to persuade | his audience that the people of Waterloo were poorer than inâ€" former years, because they had paid out more in Customs duâ€" ties. If _ his logic. was trye then they were a povertyâ€"stricken lot. He did not think this was true and did not think his auditors believed it. Alter Mr. E. M.
