C when a conference of labot leadets, called by the United States Secreâ€" tary of Labor, took place. Ome of the chief objects _ of this umique parliament . Was the _ interâ€" change of ideas regarding the future | policy of the departinent of labor | apd the bureau of iinmigration, with } the operation of which the mlerests' of the workingman are closcly allied. One of the principal topics dlwuss-‘ ed was the problem of the unemployâ€"| cedâ€" a problem just now . especially . acute, owing to the fact that, accordâ€" ‘ ing to, statements submitted to the conference by Air. Gompers, _ more than two million workers are out of employment in the United States at this time. Mr. Gompers read a sumâ€" mary of the reports made â€" especially for the occasion by the various bodies of industrial workers affiliated with the American Federation of _ Labor, and the showing was that in ho trade is there less than fifteen _ pet cent. of the workers out of employâ€" ment, while in a number of principal lines of industry from forty to filty per cent. of the toilers are now idle, and have been for mouths past. There was an animated discussion _ as 10 what the national government could do to relieve the situation in such a time of deptession, either by giving employment to men on great . pubnc works, or by assisting those out of employment to imake their way . to sections of the country where labor might be in demand. D;vld Bean, By way of illustration, it _ was pointed out that the farmers of the Middle West are each year in | dire meed of farm help and harvest hands at the very time that operaiions are a the lowest ebb in many industrial centres. Secretary Straus proposed a search for some plau to _ provide the umemployed with transportation to the Western farms, where workers are needed, and to enable the toilets to return to their homes when _ the season ui agricultural activity is ovâ€" er. s Another subject considered | was a means to make efective the "Foundâ€" ation for Industrial Peace‘‘ â€" the triâ€" bunal of arbitration which President Roosevelt founded a couple of years ago by his donation of the $10,000 Noble peace prize, which was awardâ€" ed to him for the prominent part he played in bringing about the end of the Russoâ€"Japanese war. Still another important topic disâ€" cussed concerned the discovery of efâ€" festive:means to counteract the bancâ€" ful influence of unscrupulous steamâ€" ship agents and others who â€" induce constantly increasing numbers of imâ€" migrants to come to this country from Europe, with wrong impressions as to labor conditions on this _ side of the Atlantic and a wholly ertonâ€" eous idea of the wages that can be earned, cven if satisfactory employâ€" ment be found. _ In other _ words, Secretary Straus and the officials of his nepartment asked the help of the labor leaders to stem the tide of imâ€" migration which comes to _ America with the idea that this country is an Eldorado, where high wages are paid for little work and where it is possible to save money rapidly. The conferenceâ€" the first gathering of the kind ever held â€" was entirely deliberative and informal in charâ€" acter. However, it is believed that it marks the launching of a moveâ€" ment that will result in intelligent and sympathetic coâ€"operation between organized labor and the agencies . of the governmentâ€"a relationship _ such as is seen in Germany in the Advisâ€" omg Councip in Austria in the Labor Council, and in France in the Supâ€" reme Council of Labor.

H. Graham Outlines=Prc visions of His New Proposal. Ottawa, March 11.â€" Hon. G. P. Grabam‘s explanation of the Governâ€" ment‘s proposal to provide a federal fund for the protection of level railâ€" way crossings was the feature of this alternoon‘s session of the House. The minister moved the following ‘resoluâ€" ‘"That it is expedient to provide the sum of $200,000 each year . for five consecutive years from the first day of April, 1909, to be appropriatâ€" ed and set apart from the consoldatâ€" ed revenue fund of Canada for the purpose of aiding in providing . proâ€" tection, safety and comvemience . of the public in respect of the etisting highway crossings of tailways at rail tion level, and that the said sums be placâ€" ed to the credit of a special account to be known as ‘"the railway grade crossing fund‘ and be applied . under authority of the board of _ railway commissioners for Canada."‘ _ â€" The crux of the bill which would be based upon the resolution is the enâ€" largement of the powers of the board of railway commissioners ard . the contribution out of the federal treasâ€" ury of a sum of money for the . acâ€" complishment of the object in view. Some objections, Mr. Graham said, had been taken to the proposal outâ€" lined in the resolution On the ground that all the expense conmnected with the protection of level _ crossings should be botne by the railways and municipalities affected., The bill would leave the railway company free to adopt that view whenever it thinks that it is proper to do so. Proceeding, Mr. Grabam dealt with his proposals in detail summarizing the most important as follows:, 3â€"No limit is fixed as to the amount which a municipality may be called upon to contribute. 4â€"A "crossing‘* will be defined as ‘‘a work not including more than four tracks," the bill not applying _ to terminals or _ railway yards where there are a large number of tracks. 1â€"Not more than 20 per cent. of the cost of any crossing will be conâ€" tributed from the federal fund and in no case will a sum in excess of $5,â€" 000 be given. %â€"The power of apportioning . the cost will rest with the railway toard. 5â€"The act will apply only to crossâ€" ings now in existence. Crossings conâ€" structed hereafter shall be protected at the expense of the railways. 6â€"In the case of highways _ conâ€" structed bereafter the railway board will have power to apportion _ the cost as between municipalitics _ and tailways. Another clause of the bill will deal with the matter of expropriation of property by railways. Under the preâ€" sent act, once a plan is _ filed the property through which it runs _ reâ€" mains stationary in value even _ if possession is not taken of it for 10 years. This is hardly fair to _ propâ€" erty owners. The bill will give the railway two years after filing its plans, to obtain its titles and during this period only will the value of the property remain _ unchanged. This clause of the bill, Mr. Graham _ exâ€" jlain ¢. will not a€Gect any _ prescnt litigation as io thy valrc of property. In reply to a question _ by _ Mr. Lennox, the minister expressed _ the ninion that the rarlway board _ bas o6 .0 ig compel the municipalities to pay a share of the cost of protecting a crossing. He also informed _ Mr. Lennox that he bad addressed a letâ€" ter to the premiers of all the provâ€" inces asking for their coâ€"operation, and suggesting that they might conâ€" tribute something. . He had _ also pointed out to . the provirces that it would help the general plan if they would give the municipalities _ any necessary powers in reference to raisâ€" ing money. Premiet Whitmey of Onâ€" taria had, he said, sent a sympathâ€" etic reply. The other provincial memâ€" bers had not yet time to reply.

After examining the wound the doctor ordered that the victim be at once removed A0 the hospital, and he was promptly taken to St. Joseph‘s. The police were informed by teleâ€" phone that there had been a shootâ€" ing affair in the vicinity and lost no time in getting to the scene. ~They were given a description of the man who did the shooting. Their inforâ€" mants were sure it was Musalin and the police were comvinced from the description, that Musalin was t_he man they had in mind when they deâ€" scribed him. _ â€" PEOPLE‘S RAILWAY day The committee dealt with a bill j to incorporate the Peopte‘s Railway, an clectric line with beadquarters in Berlin, running through _ Guelph, ‘ Fergus and Elora.

He was shown a section of the general Act covering this, and withdrew his moâ€" tion. "It seems to me Uhat this House is always issuing charters, and gotling very few roads built," said Hon. Mr. {‘ochrane, who advised that a certain lixed percentage should be stated ta bo spent on conmstruction during the first year; he wanted 5 per cent.
