[" Sherbrooke Daily Established 1697.\tSHERBROOKE, QUE., TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1922.Record Twenty-sixth Year/ LADY MEMBER ENTERED DEBATE IN THE HOUSE To Take Up Three Important Demands Made By Miners MANY LIVELY ENCOUNTERS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS; MSS MTHAIL TOOK PART IN THE DISCUSSIONS For the First Time in Canadian Parliamentary Discussion the Voice of a Woman Was Heard During the Discussion Over Salaries for the Department of Soldiers\u2019 Civil Re-establishment\u2014Hon.Mr.Fielding Replies to Criticism Launched by Sir Henry Drayton, Ex-Finance Minister\u2014Premier King and Hon.Mr.Meighen Engaged in Arguments.(Associated Press Despatch) OTTAWA, ONT., March 28.\u2014Pungent criticism and many a lively encounter characterized the first day spent by the House in supply.The first clash came over an interim supply bill for seventy-six millions, and the bill was held over.But the battle had only begun.In supply on the main estimates it waged at intervals through the afternoon and evening, tempting Miss Agnes McPhail, the lady member, from her silence.For a time, it was stilled when Mr.Crerar, the Progressive leader, appealed to the chair.\u201cWe shall never get anywhere,\u201d Mr.Crerar protested, if we are to go over the whole field of political inquests, but it broke out anew over railway votes, and again an appropriation was held over.The House was discussing salaries for the Department of Soldiers\u2019 Civic Re-establishment when, for the first time, a woman\u2019s voice joined in Canadian parliamentary discussion.Miss McPhail throughout the day had been an intent auditor.There was a point as t o why the supervisor of expenditures had been given an increase of from $4,500 to $5,000 a year when the services of sixteen clerks were being dispensed with.Miss Mc-Phail\u2019s comments were sharply in the interrogative.Had the supervisor of expenditure, she queried, members of all parties cheering her entry into discussion, received so technical and so costly an education that such an Increase was justified?Was it not the familiar story of the higher salary getting the higher increase?HON.DR.BELAND REPLIES TO LADY MEMBER Hon.Dr.Beland, Minister of Soldiers\u2019 Civil Re-establishment, was greeted with applause and laughter as he remarked that it would be to his \u201ceternal honor\u201d to have drawn the first lady member into discussion.The salaries to which Miss McPhail referred, he added, were regulated by the Civil Service Commission.Conservatives criticized, in the course of the discussion, that the economies in this year\u2019s estimates were economies on paper.\u201cThe Government,\u201d Sir Henry Drayton, Ex-Minister of Finance, commented, \u201cis requiring a substantially larger vote than the whole of last year\u2019s expenditure.\u201d\t* To this, Hon.W.S.Fielding, present Minister of Finance, genially replied that Sir Henry must then have brought down estimates last year which were \u201cabsolutely preposterous and did not represent the probable expenditure of the country.\u201d OPPOSITION LEADER AND PREMIER ENGAGE IN ARGUMENT Mr.Meighen, leader of the Opposition, charged that Liberals hadj repudiated their pledge of the 1919 platform to give cash grants to returned men.The Prime Minister replied by challenging Mr.Meighen to show where he had ever in the campaign promised cash grants.When the 1919 platform was drawn up, the country had not been involved in such heavy railway expenditures.Hon.Arthur Meighen drew the attention of the Government to a cablegram from London in regard to the Grand Trunk arbitration proceedings which, he said, was defamatory to the honor of Canada.Premier King stated that he associated himself with Mr.Meighen in saying that the arbitration proceedings were absolutely honorable.The Senate did not sit yesterday.Today in the House of Commons consideration of the main estimates will be taken up, and a resolution by Sir Lomer Gouin to appoint another Judge in Saskatchewan at a salary7 of nine thousand dollars a year will be debated.The Senate will not sit today.RUMORED LORD CARSON INTENDED TO RESIGN.(Associated Press Despatch.)
