Charges by American Federation of
Labor representatives that near-slavery
conditions exist in Mississippi River
levee camps were denied last night by
r. @. Church, secretary and manager
Of the Mississippi Valley food control
branch of the Association of General
Contractors.
He termed the charges another ges-
ture of the labor group to discredit all
classes and kinds of employers Of labor
IN their program to unioniZe the
South"
The labor representatives had re-
ported that the lash and pistol butt
we're welded and that contractors prac-
ticed systematic brutality. They as
sailed living and working conditions in
the construction camps.
All those charges, Church said, "are
9 gross misstatement of fact"

CANADIAN INQUIRY
INVOLVES LEADER
Mackenzie King May Lose
Prestige Because Of Gift
Trip to Bermuda.
gpecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario, July 22.-Williarn
L. Mackenzie King, Liberal leader and
premier of Canada from 1922 until July,
1880, took trip to Bermuda free dur
ing the parliamentary recess last year
which may cost him much in political
prestige.
At the parliamentary inquiry into the
Seauharnois power project it has been
Sevealed by Senator Wilfrid Laurier
McDougald that he had gone to Ber-
r9uda with Mr.. King and had paid the
~ for their expenses coming to SS52 81,
tht BeauharnoiS Co. later refunding
the ,sc0ount to him.
Mr.. King, then premier, led the adj
ministration that had approved OF the
Exrr of the BeauharnolS Co. to divert
enough water from the st. Lawrence
Rirer between Lake st. Louis and Lake
ST. Francis TO provide 100000 horse
power.
Savs King Didn't Rrow.
Senatoy GcS2oug-id, a millionaire
several tnAaS ov.S :~.d chairman OF the
Aoa-c 4 dfrec:zs.A = III .SeauharnolS
Corporation, went ptru:c *.s>. a'a-lla-
mentary committee and testified .iss !,
through an error his secretary had billed
the BeauharnoiS Co. for the S852.32.
MI. McDougald said he was not aware
of the incident until the parliamentary
investigation had got under way. Last
week he sent check for that amount
to the BeauharnoiS Co.
Mr.. McDougald, however, emphasized
Mr., King was not aware OF any OF
the circumstances.
Nevertheless Mr.. King is pla ced III an
uncomfortable position. Political OPP
ponents will say that he took Joy
ride" at the expense of company re-
ceiving great national water powers
from his government. Mr.. King VIII
likely tell the House of Commons about
this trip when the report of the inquiry
is made.
Was Given Stock.
Senator McDougald was grilled about
his activities regarding the Beauharnois
project He said he had formed a COM
pany known as the Sterling Industrial
Co. wS~n mad claimed the same rights
as thu ~ "a lharnois Co. The latter. to
remoN. me nuisance" and possible
political influence of Mr.. McDougalds
company. gave him in return for it
Beauharnois stock worth $1,100,000.
Although Mr.. McDougald denied using
political influence in behalf of the Beau
harnois Co. members of the Inquiry
Committee were not inclined to accept
his statements.
The revelations of the inquiry are the
most sensational in the history OF Cana
dian politics, and Premier r. B. Ben
nett is concerned about finding solu-
ton whereby the Beauharnois project
may be comp .,ted. The company needs
another $50 100000, to complete its
project, and IT, has been made difficult

1t is good news to Lou's legion of
friends that he is slowly but surely
regaining his physical strength and
that he has great hopes of soon get
ting back to the job-after more than
four years lay-up. This is good news
indeed to all members of the local
movement, as Lou has always been
for many years, one of the most loyal
trade unionists in Hamilton, always
having the best interests of the move
ment at heart-never tiring of work
ing in its behalf. For 16 years he
was president of his local union, Car
penters No. lie, and only gave up the
position because of physical disability
due to fall from a scaffold on which
he was working. He is still, however,
a member of the executive board of
his union, and always keeps in close
touch and takes keen interest in all
its doings. Here's hoping, Lou, you
will be with us soon again in full
blast.

members of the union had the habit
of closing its works from two to
seven days around Christmas. In
1880 the shutdown extended to seven
days. Members of the union claimed
that certain of these days should
count for unemployment insurance.
The local court of referees disallowed
the claim. Officials of the union ap-
pealed the case to the deputy UNI
pire, who decided that for the works
in question Customary Christmas
holidays" consists of two days only.
The members of the union were there
fore entitled to unemployment insur-
ance for five days out of the seven.

ties should be kept in the forefront

Brother Henry Hodges was always
an active and popular member of the

will find the health he seeks in far
off Arizona, and that he will soon be

hear from some of his Hamilton
