The following from Hansard is an official account of it : Mr. Hanson (Skeena): I do not. think, Mr. Chairman, that this is the time to deal with the hours of labor because this special session has been called for the purpose of providing employment. I want to direct a suggesUon to the Prime Minister which I believe would provide considerable employment. Our Canadian railways from time to time are buying considerable quantities of material which Is neces sary for the maintenance of the i railways. If they would buy hand-j made material, which is equally as good as machinery-made material,! vhrns.ev they can eet It for the; tame prise, it would result in pro-! vidins much rnore work.
