He congratulated the fishermen on having given study to the question and coming out frank-1 ly with alternate proposals He was the northern association should get together with the canners at the first of the season as was done In the south. If the canners and fishermen bould not agTee on prices, It was provided in the pro posed provincial regulations that there should be arbitration by a board of three, one member to be named by the canners, one by the fishermen and the third selected by the two. In the event of failure to agree upon the third member, it was provided that the selection would be made by a Supreme Court Judge and not by the pro vincial government as had beep khe seriousness of the situation.

The situation was mych the same with pinks Mike Anderson, in reading a lengthy statement, urged further organisation of the fishermen in the fight for their rights. Had lt not been for the existing organlz ations, the Howe regulations might have come as orders-ln-couneil and other varieties and also in other ! not as proposals. The old demands fishing areas.

It was not fair, he felt, to penalize all the fishermen of this part of the coast in such a manner. Mr. Lord replied that the pro-pesd reduction in the length of the nets would at least place all on an equitable basis. It would give the opportunity to all to sell their fish and there would be no limitation of the processing; Defunct Canneries Robert Hanna thought that, if the canneries were slncee in the matter of conservation, they would not be holding licences for defunct canneries- In this district such as the two in Prince Rupert Harbor, Oceanic, Dominion, B. A. Cunningham's Alexander and Standard some of which never operated in years, if llncences were alloted to the ten canneries actually operating in the Skeena, they would discussion, the resolution was passed as summarized above. It was at first proposed to have fishing banned in the Olory Hole of the Skeena as weU as the Doneyard but lt was finally decided to ell minaie uie suggestion as far as the Olory Hole was concerned. O. B. Casey felt that the fisher. men were showing good faith in their desire for conservation They were willing to go as far as having their boats and gear en tlrely confiscated' It they should violate the regulations. Mr. Casey asked what had the canneries done for Northern B. C. The fish ermcn were faced with the chal lenge of a dictatorship. He urged that they stand by their rlehti. On the question being put, the resolution was, carried, pnjy Mr, Mathers and Mr. Ffrguson out of the entire gathering voting against it. Another resolution stating that Presbytery Opens Annual Meeting Clergy From All Parts of District Here For Conference of United Church Immediately after the arrival of the train from the East, bringing delegates from various Interior points, the annual meeting of Prince Rupert Presbytery of the United Church of Canada will open In First United Church at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

Through the age a babel of shouting voices resounded In Ilabylon, Ptkln, NlKhol Novgorod, Calcutta, Carthage, Rome, Berlin, Paris, London, New York. Organization of Joint stock companies more than 150 years ago as a means of raiting capital for business enterprise created a necessity for a market for stocks. The first eichange was organized In London In 1773. It steadily evolved through cumbersome methods to an efficient system. This experience stands behind trading systems now practiced In exchanges like London, New York, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Every method Is practiced to Insure fairness to Investors and prevent unethical manipulation of prices. The .system of trading Is recognized as fair nd equitable throughout the world. The Vancouver Lxchange opera tes under a Charter passed and approved by the rovtnclal Parliament on April 25, 1907. A market place for the buying and sell Ing of stocks, the Vancouver Stock Exchange Is esential to commerce. If foreign capital Is to flow freely In develop Ing Western Canadian resources, the prestige of this Institution must be maintained. Th Exchange brings buyer and seller In contact with each other, sets a recognized current price for listed stocks and Is a barometer of th success of Individual enterprises. An Exchange Is disinterested party In transactions between selling and buying Interests of the public. Fluctuations take their course In accordance with buying and selling orders. When the public give buying support to certain stocks, prices rise. When support Is withdrawn, prices fall. Predictions as to possible values Is matter the client alon can decide for himself. And as a piece of business machinery, th Stock Exchange attracts capital to mining undertaking or Industrial enterprise which otherwise might never come Into being. An Exchange I a Public Institution performing an age old service of great value to Western Canada. 71m WmnimMi U tHl,k,i bj Mimbitt f(M Slact I- tin I ummimm hltnuiion fnttnin, ik, wmvimi 4 floe Eitktnf mi tit SmiafM
