WAGES IN QUEHEC It is no wonder that British Columbia cannot compete industrially with Quebec. According to latest revela- rZS,!rl Pr0VinCTl s a wage rate that compares with Central Europe. It is not much higher than the relief -allowance in this province. In order to remedy the-sweatshop conditions, the government has recently nut into force a minimum wage scale which provides that for what is known as a "Class C" workman the pay must not be less than six and a quarter dollars for a 48-hour week. This will affect the wages of one hundred thousand persons who presumably have been getting ess than that amount and will cost the employers of Quebec province something like twenty-six million dollars a year. While a "ClassA" workman in the better paid districts may not be paid less than twelve and a half dollars for a forty-eight-hour week, this affects only peonle living within the Montreal zone. Everywhere bevond that zone the minimum is less. No wonder the Premier of Quebec was learful of any wage law which would affect the whole jf Canada ' Take the case of school teachers. Under the nev Quebec law it is provided that thev must be paid at least four hundred dollars a year if without free lodging or three hundred dollars a year when lodging is provided . n .??Pttl,that the cost of livin is less'in Quebec than in Hritish Columbia, vet the difference is not so very m-eat and workmen must find it very difficult to exist much less develop enough spirit to protest. NEW CANADIAN FLAG It is understood that a bill will be introduced into I arhament at the coming session providing for the appointment of a committee to report on a design for a new Canadian flag. This bill is likely to become law and within a year or fw6 we may be a country with a distinctive flag. This is a matter that has been much too long delayed already. It is now beyond the point where argument is necessary. It is generally realized that a distinctive flag is desirable and it seems very likely that one will be adopted. CHARGE OF SQUANDERING, Dr. Frank Patterson, leader of the Conservative party m this province, spent most of the time he was speaking at a party meeting at Sidney recently in charging the Pattullo government with squandering the revenues of the- province, failing to make ends meet and also failing to make provision for the future. Dr, Patterson forgets that it was a Conservative government that ran the province into debt just as it was the McHride and Bowser Conservative governments that did the same on a' previous occasion. Dr. Patterson forgets to. mention that the present administration at Victoria is rehabilitating the province's sinking fund and is now very dose to balancing its budget. The credit of the province is improving steadily. t Merchantettes l 2 La Belle 134 186 Madill . 138 96 Halliday 78 139 Holden 101 171 Nelson 132 145 Handicap 102 102 Total CSS 839 Blue Birds 1 2 Pierce 116 195 Turgeon 166 135 Boulter 160 232 Croxford 130' 199 Keron 166 180 Hartwig Handicap 49 49 Total .'. : .... 887 990 Annette's 1 Johnson 141 92 Basso-Bert 165 83 Owen 132 194 Skattebol 160 132 Dickens 195 168 Handicap 13 13 Total 80C C82 KNOX Hotel 1 2 Peterson 159 130 Brasell 172 144 Scharff 93 121 Selig . 185 144 Larsen , 99 144 Handicap 90 90 Total 798 773 Big Sisters 1 2 B.

First one team and then the other moved ahead by snaring one basket apiece. It was a ding-dong affair through out the first half, at the end of ' which the score stood 13-15 for the Tigers. During the -second) half, the Tigers tightened up their line by sending ln their substitutes and gradually drew away from their tiring opponents. Referee. H.

At this period of the game, one Tiger guard and one Panther guard were out of the game with four personals apiec?. Panthers were trying to make a rally by calling two times out and rearrange the position of their guards but ' "When you wish to persuade some one to your way of thinking, begin by talking about things on which you both agree.
