BY CANADIANS • OF CANADIAN. WHEAT COMMUNICATION Editor, Citizen: Owing to the militancy displayed by the unemployed workers in this district, the government has st'*vted retaliatory measures against them. The now famous Sections 41-42 of the Immigration Act are now being used to Intimidate the foreign-born workers who were involved in the local dispute with the government regarding relief. just for a.skin? for romething to eat these workers are now threatened with deportation. Bennett's program of terrorizing and persecuting the unemployed is in full swing here. Encouraged by the deliberate misrepresentation and press-agenting of the dominion government's colonization department and other agencies, these workers were induced to come to Canada to make their fortunes, incidentally freeing themselves from the bondage they were then living under. Upon entering this promised, land they were amazed at the conditions the workers in Canada were forced to live and work under, in fact they were exploited to an extent that was undreamed of. • In order to raise their standard of living, instead of lowering it, these workers organized in a militant association, and by taking an actve part in demanding the promises of the government colonization agencies be fulfilled they are hounded by all the forces of state. Section 98 of the Criminal Code and Sections 41-42 of the Immigration Act are brandished over the heads of the workers. The worker who rebels at existing conditions is arrested, jailed and deported. Deportation cannot and will not solve the crisis for the government. No amount of "planning," "adjustment" or of deportation will eliminate the inherent contradictions of capitalism. FRANK STAGER. Sec. N.U.W.A. ROYAL BANK CLOSES IT'S HAZELTON BRANCH AT END OF MONTH The Royal Bank of Canada has made arrangements to close its Hazelton branch at the end of the month, transferring the accounts to the Smithers branch of the bank. The marked decrease in the business offering at Hazelton is given as the reason for the change, the Hazelton branch having shown a deficit for some time past. The action of the management of the Royal will leave Hazelton without a banking institution a convenience enjoyed by the people of that community for the past twenty years. It is a matter for regret that the historical old town of Hazelton should thus pass under eclipse. For many years, before the coming of the railway, it was the most important point in the northern portion of the province, and at one time boasted two bank.s. Robert Hunter and Ben Jones, manager and cashier of the Hazelton branch will both move to Smithers fora time. New York. Oct. 25—The Herald-Tribune makes the announcement that the province of Ontario has arranged for a loan of $15,000,000 with interest at $\«tie. The price realized is not stated but. as the loan is for a i>eriod of but one year the gamble on the exchange rate must be a big factor. If the Canadian dollar reaches par within the year the saving in exchange will amount to considerably more than the interest rate.

B.C Death Removes I cks, vases, jars, j umbrella stands, came from the hand j of the potter, Burgard. and his men, j for it wasn't long until he became the i owner of the business. He made what the farmers wanted, and half a century ago they very much wanted containers for their milk as dairying was becoming more and more important. The wide-mouthed, shallow crocks made at the Burgard shop were just the thing to hold the milk so that j the cream could rise and be easily j skimmed. The farmer's wife at the I same time needed jars for her pickles j and her fruits, and flower pots for her j home. The products of the potter's j shop filled a real need, and as the j demand grew business increased. But evil days were in store. The first j blow was the cream separator's advent. ! Once this device was installed in the | fanner's. home the earthenware crocks ! lost their usefulness and the~demand j for them dwindled. j Even so innocent a tiling- as the I coming of canned goods played havoc with the pottery business. Where the thirtfy housewife up to this time had done all her own preserving and canning and pickling for which she required jars, she now began to try out this new idea of canned goods. Ana it was not very leng until canned fruits | and vegetables were making inroads j into the pantry shelves, so fewer jars | were required. Sadder still, someone brightly discovered these cans didn't need to be thrown away when emptied but could be given a coat of paint or covered with a little colored tissue paper and serve as quite satisfactory flower pots. Result, the flower pot business fell off. But it was the mechanization of the industry which dealt the death blow to the hand-potter. Where a few objects a-week could be turned out from the potter's shop, hundreds were produced in the factories, and for all practical purposes the factory-made articles were as efficient as the hand-made onas and were infinitely less expensive. The market soon was flooded with cheap goods, and the hand potter could not hope to compete with them. Potters the country over suffered with this new turn of events. Some gave up early and turned to other work. Others, riding abreast of the times, installed new machines and became large-scale producers themselves. But Ferdinand Burgard. who held his work to be that of an artist nnd his skill a sacred trust, scorned every .suggestion of mechanization. For several years he struggled against the enveloping tide of the ma- \ chine age confident that some day the | public would again require quality I rather than quantity. His twelve chil-i dren were taught the fundamentals j of the craft but he was not to know the joy of having any one of them ! carry on his work for the age was j slowly but surely killing that. work, j Still he clung to his .shop proud as i ever of his "potter's hand" and of j his master craftsmanship. Finally his; was the only shop remaining in the j province and while his market had j nearly diminished he continued to do ( small jobs often for tourists Or friends. But in the end even this restricted demand was not sufficient to justify carrying on. and a few years ago he too , admitted defeat and sold his home and j shut up shop. ffi9»i!fiy»nfi!Kj»^ftf TEA COFFEE THAT WILL PLEASE BLUE RIBBON TEA, per lb. .....

HARPELL COMMITTED FOR TRIAL FOR CRIMINAL LIBEL Montreal, Oct. 21—The preliminary hearing of James J. Harpell, of Gar-denvale, Quebec, charged by T. B. Macaulay, of the Sun Life Assurance Company, with criminal libel, resulted in the accused being committed for .rial. Harpell is the publisher of a monthly review. The Journal of Commerce, which is published in Toronto, in Edmonton and in Gardenvale. In January last the publication opened a broadside upon the Sun Life Assurance and the North American Life Assurance, alleging the policy-holders had been robbed of $2,755,000 within the space of a few months. A disquieting feature of the attack upon the insurance companies was the publishing of a list of the securities held by the Sun Life, purporting to show how the values had been affected by the slump in stocks, it being alleged there had been a net shrinkage of $105,318,204. The publication of this statement caused much uneasiness on the part of life insurance policy-holders throughout Canada. On his preliminary hen ring Harpell entered a plea of "not guilty." and on being committed to stand trial at the next session of the King's Bench was given nominal bail in the sum of $950. Tlie trial of the action against Harpell will be followed with keen interest by policy-holders throughout Canada. on the Malrhoe-Pair's stretch, so that the cost approximately corresponds to the second class railway fare. LONDON POLICE BAG BANDITS WHO HELD UP EUSTON STATION London, Oct. 25—Two of the bandits whoh eld up the mail clerk at the EuSyOn station on Wednesday night appeared in court today for their preliminary hearing. The robbery was one of the boldest in recent years and was witnessed by as core of passengers. It was pulled off so quickly that the robbers got away with a bag of registered mail ready for dispatch on the Irish mail train. One bandit tripped the mail clerk, a second threw a cloth over his head, and a third knocked him senseless with a club. The bandits grabbed the mail sack and were speeding away in an automobile before they could be apprehended. The police were hot on their tracks and ultimately located two of the men in lodgings. On the premises being searched a considerable sum of money in bank notes was found secreted in the chimney. AIR TRAVEL SHOWS MARKED INCREASE DESPITE DEPRESSION Stockholm. Oct. 22—In spite of the depression there has been an increase of about 50 per cent in the number of passengers on Sweden's continental air lines during the first six months of th's year according to a statement by Captain Florman, the head of the Swedish Aerotransport Co. About 7a per cent of the passengers are business men who are attracted by the saving of time in transit and by the safety and regularity of the aerial traffic. The former time of transit between Malmoe and Paris, eleven hours, has this year been brought down to seven hours and will next year be further reduced to about five houi-s, thanks to the fact that luncheons will be served in the planes to eliminate the previous luncheon interval at Amsterdam. Other novel features ore the facility for the passengers to send private radio messages while in the air and the introduction next year of special night planes with sleep:ng accommodation for the passengers. As a further stimulant to the interest in using the air lines the Aerotransport Company has now reduced the fares of the Baltic Air Express by 25 per cent. LADY READING SAYS WOMEN SHOULD KEEP IN THE BACKGROUND London. Oct. 25—Lady Reading, in discussing woman's place-in politics, says the women should keep in the background. She says the women can make their admitted influence more felt by exercising it in the home than by appearing in public. There may be exceptions but her rule will apply in the great majojrity of cases. -------------o------------- Ottawa, Oct. 25—Canada's imports of raw sugar for the month of September aggregated 92.700,000 pounds and was valued at $1,413,716.
