SURE.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 order that the average citimen gain some insight into the necessity of the proposed increase is Gas\u2019 and Street Railway rates, the General Manager of the Quebec Railway Company, gave out some interesting and comprehemsive details in an interview yesterday, which Mr.Lynch states clearly show that the Quebec Railway Company is doing what abnormal conditions have forced almost every railway and gas company in America to do.In fact, conditiohs are such, according to suthentic figures and correspondence: quoted by Mr.Lynch that he adds Public Utility companies cannot hope to maintain service under existing cireumstances.\u201cI do not blame people for objecting to increased rates,\u201d said Mr.Lynch, \u201cno one likes to be compelled to pay more for something he has been in the habit of getting for less; but I am sure that any reasonable person who has gone into the matter and has been shown the real state of affairs will not hesitate in agrecing that we have no alternative.\u201d \u201cAs matters now stand, we are charging $1.00 net per 1,000 cubic feet for gas, and all we are asking le to be permitted to increase our rate to $1.35.Before July, 1916, we were charging $1.20 for gas when gas oil was only 4 cents per gallon.Today we are paying 12 cents per gallon and will soon have to pay as high as 15 cents.When it is considered that we consume 500,000 gallons per year, just now it means with the 12-cent rate, that we are paying over $30, 000 more than last year when oil was only 5% cents per gallon.\u201d \u201cYou have no idea how serious the situations is,\u201d continued Mr.Lynch.\u201cQue contract for oil expires in April and we have endeavored to find out what we could get in the way of oil requirements for next yesr with the result that nine companies have even refased to quote us prices\u201d And Mr.Lynch turned over a batch of correspondences from the following companies, all of which would not even offer to supply it at any stipulated figu::: Anderson & Gustafson, Chicago; Indians Refining Co.The Craig Oil Go, of Toledo; National Refining Company, Canadian Oil Co, British-American Oil Co, Johnson Oil Refining Co, of Chicago; Consumers Gas Co, Toronto and United Gas \u2018and Ti): Co, Hansilton, Ont.Concerning the existing price of gas.oil, present rates according to \u201cThe

exceptional rise, while the receipts have shown an alarming decrease.The salary list of the railway company shows an increase of $110,034.47.The question of charging a six- cent rate or one cent

PRAN- CHISE TO WOMEN READ A PIRST TIME.Ottawa, Ont, Mar.90\u2014When the House met this afternoon, Sir Rebert Borden introduced a bill to give the Franchise tô women.The bill was read a first time.He introduced o further bill to authorize re-srrangements and .transfer of duties in the Public Service.The latter bill, was to author- izp the Governor-in-Council to change any Department of Branch from the direction of one Minister to the direction of another.This Bill also was read a first time.A daylight savings bill, along the lines of the bill presented last session, was introduced by Sir George Foster, and read a fift time.The first reading of the bill was seconded by Mr.Carvell.Sir Wilfrid Laurier asked the Prime Minister # the Minister of Finance would be in his seat during the present session.Sir Robert Borden replied tha he had no announcement to make at the present time.In reply to a question by Mr.Dew lin, whether any money had been paid to Lord Beaverbrook by Canada, and ! what the nature was of Lord Beaver.| brook\u2019s services, Sir Robert replied that Lord Beaverbrook had given his services as Canadian Record Officer and Officer in Charge of the Canadian War Records office, without charge.The expenses of the Canadian War Records Office had been paid partly out of the War Vote and partly ont of the profits derived from the sate of publications, photographs and moving picture films, produced under the auspices of the Office.The total grant for this purpose had been $25,000, ot which only a portion was expended, Sir Robert further sketched the work of Lord Beaverbrook as Canadian Record Officer, and the operation of the Canadian War Records Office.On a motion for production of a copy of the treaty, between England and the United States, Sir Wilfrid Laurier raised the question of the conscription of British subjects in the United States for military service and of the American citizens in Canada.P! The subject involved, Sir Wilfrid said, was one of very great importance, 3s he understood that the treaty permitted conscription on either side of the ne.\u201cOf their own subjects,\u201d interposed Sir Robert Borden.Sir Wilfrid went on that England and France were as united as they could be, but he did not think it would be thought possible for a recruiting sergeant to go to Paris and take any man, or for a French officer to go from Paris to London.This was a very wide departure from the policy of 1911 of \u201cno truck or trade\u201d with the Yankees.Sir Wilfrid read a statement from the Toromo News to the effect that ap agreement had been reached with the Ministers represnting the Provinces, that the tariff would remain in abeyance until after the war.He asked if it were true or not that such an understanding had been arrived at, and referred to the demands in the West for the abolition of duties on agricultural implements, a move which has the support of Hon.C.A.Dunning, of Saskatchewan, who is in charge of the production branch of the Canada Food Board.Sir Wilfrid quoted from \u201cThe Farmer,\u201d of Toronto, an imaginary conversation between Mr.Dunning and Hon.T.A.Crerar, in which the Minister of Agriculture authorized Mr.Dunning to purchase farm trac tors, and promised him the duty on tract®rs would be remitted.Speaker Rhodes at this period expressed the hope that Sir Wilfrid would not press his argument on the tariff too far-on this resolution, dealing with anotirer matter.The Opposition Leader said he would not, and completed his remarks with further quotations from teh Toronto News to show that there had been an agreement.Sir Robert Borden said that Sir Wil frid's remarks were not relevant to the motion.He characterized the Opposition Leader's reference to \u201ctruck or trade with the Yankees\u201d as an old joke, and suggested that Sir Wilfrid should give it a rest for a time.Sir Robert did not make any statement in reply to Sir Wilfrid's observation as to the tariff, but explained that the convention between the United States | and Canada, details of which have already been made public, would be tabled as soon as ratified dy the Unit ed States Senate.He observed that the Convention would probably be the basis of a similar agreement between England and the United States.Hon.Arthur Meighen introduced a bill to amend the Dominion Lands Act.He said the Bosrd would not radically change the general provis- jones of the Lands Act, but would in addition to a number of general amendments, provide facilities for preemption holders to obtain loans of thelr lands.This proposal was made in a Bill introduced last session, which did not receive the approval of Parflament.Mr.Meighen also made the import ant announcement that an Order-in- | \"large areas of Dominion Land.{ Dominion Lands regulation for any The Omfres QUEBEC;

PRODUCTION OF 100,000 TONS OF SHIPPING MONTHLY TO OVERTAKE PRESENT LOSS.London, March 2-\u2014-One of the most important statements made to the Country recently was the speech delivered in the House of Commans toéay by Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, First Lord of the Admiralty.He appeased the demand which has become recently that the country should be toid the exact amount of the shipping losses and he also announced the appointment of Great Britain's foremost builder Lord Pirrie ns controller-gencral of Merchants Shipbuilding, Lord Pirrie will not be a member of the Board of the Admiralty, but he will have direct access to the Premier and the War Cabinet.His appointment, it is inicated, will be received with the greatest satisfaction.Sir Eric's speech was a simple statement of facts, with no oratorial sentences, but he was listened to more attentively than the moat eloquent orators in the Government.During the last quarter of 1917 said Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, First Lord of the Admiralty, in the House of Commons today, the Allies were averaging within 100,000 tons monthly or making their losses good, and were then replacing 75 percent of their lost tonnage.At the present time the first Lord went on, forty seven shipyards, with 209 berths; were engaged on oceangoing merchant vessels.The sinp- yard work was completely disoiga- nized during the first two years of the war from various causes, he explained, but nevertheless there had been an enormous accomplishment by the Shipbuilding Industry.The output for the last quarter ol 1917 was 420,000 tons, as against 213,000 tons for the last quarter of 1916, while during the last quarter of 1913, it had been only 42,000 tons, When the controller of construction took over the shipyards there were 80 large merchant ships in various stages of construction upon which work had been stopped for lack of sufficient material or of labor, said the First Lord, and in many cases they were congesting the shipyards.It was well within the capacity of the allied yards, and even of the British yards, Sir Eric declared, to make good the world's losses, if given an adequate supply of men and material.In the fourth quarter of 1917, the foreign construction was $12,000 tons, he stated, giving a total output of 932,000 tons, while the losses in the same period were 1,200.000 tons, which were the lowest since the intensive submarine war began.Great Britain had lost on the average 260,000 tons monthly duriog the fast quarter of 1917, and had busit 140,000 tons monthly, the First Lord announced.British shipping had suffered the most, he pointed out, but the British had contributed the greatest naval effort of the Allies and had sustaned the greatest attack, and should not bemoan their scars.Sir Eric declared that the Ge:man statement of the allies shipping losses for January was an exaggeration of 113 percent.Since he had shown up these grossly false returns for previous months, he added the German statement had not been issued.The head of the Admiralty emphasized the importance of the gradual withdrawal of men from the army for the shipyards, so that the army should not be impaired, and that men might be replaced by efficient substitutes.The yards were gradually getting from the army all the skilled and semi-skilled shipyard men, he said, but there was still a considerable deficiency in the requirements of the shipyards which must be filled by newl ytrained men, by dilution and by grading up.The output of repair work, continued Sir Eric, had increased in February 1918, as compared with August 1917, by 80 percent; ten times more naval craft were docked for repairs in the last quarter of last year than in peace time, and more than 3.000 ships were dealt with in that period.The men so employd might have produced a half million tons of merchant shipping if they had been engaged in building.The three main factors in the building problem, said the speaker, \u2014 were, first, patrol and other craft to destroy submarines and \u2018safeguard ships at sea; second, salvage and repair work; third, the building of new merchant ships.It would be simply providing sheep for the butcher's knife te put all the industry\u2019s energies to the building of new ships, he remarked.Sir Bric admitted that the disappointing results for the January and February building gave Justificable cause for anxiety, Me denied the charge that the Admiralty was an ungenerous God-mother to merchant shipping.The naval service, he declared, had often subordinated its interests to merchant shipping.The drop in the carve of merchant tonnage losnes was attributed by the the wife of an alien enemy.try it speaker mainly to the efficiency ef the patrol sad anti-submarine craft and to the valuable convoy wark of other vessels.The grest effort in constructian land repair work had been made, the First Lord pointed out, concurrently with the enormous incresse in the output of munitions.The output of guns and smmunition in 1917 was nearly double that of the previous year, and the output of agroplanes was two and one half times as large, while arrangements were in progress during 1917 providing for great increases this year: The First Lord defended the shipping controller and Admiralty against charges that shipbuilding had Leen delayed by changes in designs of ships on the stocks.The reasons for the changes were, he said, to secure increased spaed that submarine attacks might Le evaded, \u2018o secure greater comfort for the crews, to simplifty the designs, to convert ships into oil burners and to provide additional heavy gun mounting, The yards bad suffered from a shortage of material during the summer months of 1917, he admitted, but today the materiai position was satisfactory and the stocks in the yards were more satisfactory than for many years.The need today was for skilled labor.He hoped within 2 few weeks it would be for unskilled labor only.The delay in the output for Jansuary and February was largely due to repairs and the conversion ob ships into oil tankers, which class the Germans had set themselves to sink.The net addition to labor in the last seven months had been 16,000 men, mostly unskilled, During February there was an increase of 2500 men.which was as many new mea as the yards could digest.Sir Eric reiterated his earnest wish that both masters and men wouid appreciate the seriousness of the ship ving position.ter announcing the appointment of Lord Pirrie the First Tord mentioned the Pirrie yards as putting more than half of their output ite standardized ships and said he boped before long it would be possible to launch one standard ship every fort night for these years, He urged ail concerned to throw themselves into the production of the 100,000 tons of shipping mrnihly which was necessary to overtske the present rate of loss.Lloyd George Speaks.In a general reply to criticisms raised in the debate, Premier Lloyd George said that shipbuilding hae not been stopped for lack of steel or steel plates.The difficulty hai heen largely one of labor.Every man in the home service skilled in shipouild.ing had already been taken from the army, but when it was demanded that twenty thousand men shouid be with drawn forcibly irom the field cper- ations, a very serious ra-ponaibility was involved.Many oi thes: men were essential to manning bateries and were the mainstay of complets organizations.\u201cWe cannot take the risk of destroying the efficiency of the army in the field at a very critical and perilous moment\u201d, added the Prer'er, \u201cwhere the skill of these men is essential to the successful condu:t of particular operations, THE SALARIES OF PENSION COMMISSIONERS

judge from the tone of the debates which have already taken plece and still more from what would sppear to be on his part an entici- patory justification oË such conduct.\u2018\u2018There.is uv wach thing,\u2019 he asserted on the floor oï the Houre, \u2018as à new standard of duty because the country happens to be at war ., .If the principles \u2018of the British system of Government are true and sound and efficient in peace, they are equally sound und efficient in war and, if there is one feature of the British system which is essential, it is that of a strong, orguniz- od Opposition., Unless there is cternal vigilance by a strong and resolute Opposition, there is the universal testimony of history to show that encroach ments will take place on freedom and injustice will be brought about.\u201d Such sentiments sound very well though il might be pointed out in passing that the Proviuce oi Quebec apparently finds little use fur such en Opposition as the [iberel leader Las degcribed, nor do we imagine that he would concede any resulting en- eroachments on freedom or injustices.Beyond this, it must be said that Sir Wilfrid ignores the very material modifications which the British system of ggv- ernment upon which he stands has undergone through the development of party organization.The original eonception undoubtedly was a Parliament composed of two great groups divided on basic lines of principle and policy, where the Govermment, it is true, could depend gipon the ressonable support of ita foliowers, but where every private member retained lis independence to oppose it on measures which he felt inimical to the national interest or contrary to the mandate of his constituents.Thus it was not only possible but entirely practi:able for an Administration to be defeated in the House and a really effective check was maintained upon its actions.Again, the function of an Opposition in theory has never beén | to oppore legislation purely for the sake of doing so or for the sake of party advantage but merely to impede the passage of unjust or hasty legislation.In Canada, however, owing to the development of party organization aiready referred to, à Government almost invariably receives the docile support of its supporters, irrespective of their private eonvie- tions, and it has become the common practice of the Opposition to make a show, at least, of opposing every Government measure, although they way re- coguise its desirability, as a necessary form of partizan tactics.No one then can successfully dispute ti.c foree of Sir Wilfrid's contention as to a vigilant opposition being equally necessary in peace or war, nor is there the slightest desire that he and his associates should abandon their legitimefe functions, but the country has a right to expect that they will avoid all petty obstruction and will eqoperats disinterestedly for the furtherance of all legislation necessary to the successful prosecution of the war.The views of the Opposition are well-known and there is little likelihood of the Unionist policy commanding its personal sympathy but that policy has received an overwhelming endorsation in the vote of the late elections and it is therefore the duty of Sir Wilfrid to defer his own views to the plain mandate of the Administration: a course through which i» will at once pursuc the paths of patriotism and statesmanship, : CANADA TO THE KESCUE.This war has produced a demand hitherto un- thought of for material of all kinds and for the most unusual purposes, with a consequence that a tremendous strain has heen put upon production which in many cases it has been difficult to mect.Hitherto linen has been asvociated in the mind of the average person with such domestic articles ag #heets aud tablecloths nor will its military value be at first apparent.Assiduous research, however, has proved that the most efficient covering for the wings of acroplanes is linen thoroughly coated with some varnishlike substance and owing both to the steady increase in the manufacture of these machines and to the wear and tear of battle upon those already constructed a ready market has been developed for all the linen that can be produced.So far as the Entente is concerned practically the only source of supply is to be found in Ireland, and the United States, realizing the hope- lemsness of obtaining linen in any adequate quantity has been experimenting with cotton substitutes for its Liberty planes.: Under these circumstances the vita! chareter of the Irish industry can be readily appreciated and the story of how Canada has again come to the rescue should arouse general interest.This story is contain.od in a report from the Noting Trude Commissioner for Great Britain which is published in the weekly bulletin of the Department of Trade and Commerce issued on the eighteenth instant.and states in part: .\"An important meeting of spinners, wenvery, merchants and others interested in the Irish

orisis unprecedented in ita history, owing to the flax shortage due to the failure of the Russian supply.Inducements are being offered to th: fammers to make thom sow all the seed of the recog.\u2019 nized fibre-produeing quality available, but even°if the supplies of this seed should come up to the high.vat hopes, and should the farmers sow every bag of wood thyt came into the country, they would still be very short of the amount of raw material required, su that, if nothing more were done than to bring in ail the geed of recoguized fibre varieties available, and have it sown, they would be able to do no more than keep the mills ronning a day or two a week.Something over aad gbove that was needed.The question was what seed could be got?The committeq has ascertained that, in the western provinces of Canada, there was annus.ly s very large acreage under flax, In some years, ju the province of Saskatchewan, alone, there were a million acres under flag, sgwn with seed known as Canadian western seed or Canadian common, and smong the Canadian farmers ax Riga tix.It had a blue flower, and the name \u2018Riga\u2019 sufficiently indicated its original pedigree, Now,.in'the view of the committee, it was a legitimate risk, as they wera so short of fibre, to use the Canadian common, whicn, under favorable circumstances, produced a fibre plaut.The yield may not be as great, or as good as in the case of Duteh or Riga quality, but fibre there certaiuly was in comsiderable quantities.The committee had, therefore, bought sufficient Canadian com- monseed for 19,000 acres, and had siready taken lund for its cultivation to the extent of 3,000 sores.\u201d U'ntil this year's.crop is harvested of course it will be impossible to ascertain definitely the suitability of Cznaflian flax for the manufacture of linen but meanwhile there are not only grounds for satis faction that this country, as in other instances, has been able to step in and fill a dangerous breach but there is also food far retlection as to the possibility of developing à new domestic industry.During 1916 there were in Canada 662,781 acres seeded to flax which yielded 8,259,800 bushels of from Quebec.Despite this extensive yield, only 923 hundredweight of Hax and 13,951 bushels of eced were exported to the United Kingdom : the States absorbing 9.890 hundredweight of flax and 1,930,592 bushels of seed, se that there is no reason why a very considerable market should not be developed, if not for the raw fibre, at least for the seed, since Russian supplies Will be unavailable until after the war.Not only this, but it should be possible to manufacture linen in this country provided that a fair quality of ffrre can bo: produced, and thus at least meet our own requirements for ordinary lines of cloth.Naturally there will be difficulties in procur- ling skilled lsbor at the outset and a satisfactory \u2018bleaching process will have to be evolved but surely these can ali be overcome by Canadian enterprise and Canadian science.Some idea of the present profitable condition of the market can be gained from the fact that the Bri: ish Government is offering up to $30 for a 189 pound bag of seed and is also reinforcing a trade guarantee of $2,410,000 with a further one of $7,500,000 to provide for the cu'tivation of 70,000 acres in Ireland.There is then no reason why an attempt at least should not be made to make some use of our own flax production other than that of cattle fodder.Our side js not advertising its intentions but when it does amume the offensive the fur is likely to fly.: » distinguish bétween party and public spirit.We have never been able to decide between Munchausen und the men who sees the first butterfly in March for the championship in the Ananias sweepstakes, Judge Belleau is to be congratulated on his decision in a recent action, which would appear not only to be sound law but common sense.He is also to be congratulated upon the

gratitude to the William Davies Company, for serving as the \u2018terrible example\u2019\u2019 which forced the legislative action s0 long insistently demanded.The outrageous profits on bacon and the disgraceful waste of thousands of pounds of chicken were much too flag rant in their nature to be ignored, and by their very excess have brought about their own elimination.Every dog has his day, but the day of these food.hoarding dogs-in-thc-manger has been of far too long duration.\u2019 It is not only the packers and cold-storage magnates, however, who are to be put under regulation; the private individual must aiso do his share in avoiding waste of food.There are also rationing powers conferred upon the government, if it should prove necessary to put such into practice.\u2018This is only just and right, and no one will wish to avoid his patriotic\u2019 obligation, especially now that the men at the top are heing made to toe the line.The new regulations provide for the seizing and sale of food supplies where their hoarding would lead to deterioration; give the food board power to forbid the use of any kind of food cxcept at certain times, also power to prescribe the amount of any kind or kindg of food that may be soll, consumed of used at any one meal or within & specified time.The penalties range from 100 to $1,000, or imprisonment for & term\u2019 not exceeding three months, or both fine and imprisonment.The public will heartily applaud this [arm action of the government.which 42,000 buéhels came from Ontario and 5,300 Judging by: the noise of conflict which

and other railroads, the Interstate] Commerce Commission has appr.ved the charges at Baltimore for trimming bituminous coal in single deck vessels, with hatch openings of cre- tain sizes.It was alleged that these charges are discriminatory in that they exceed charges for similar services at Philadelphia, Norfolk and New York.In review of the evidence the decision of the Commission pointed out: \u201cThe barge- trimmed at New York and Philad- 1 are principally open barges coi.iucted especially for, the expeditions handling of coal and.that barges of the type of complain- | ant\u2019s could not be handled st some: of the New York piers on account ot : their height.The 4-cent charge at: New York and the 8-cent charge at Philadelphia, it is said, were estab-: lished to cover adequately the cost! of trimming the types of barges handled at those points and that the present charges at Baltimore on! barges of the type owned by complainant produce a very small revenue on à meager volume of business.\u2018 .RM.8.P, CO, ERECTS : NEW.OFFICE BUILDING | - Liverpool, March 20\u2014An optimistic | .note in the shipping world is sound- : ed by the recent activity in British .-maritime circles, which has resuited | in the erection of handsome new Aadguarters buildings in spite of war, conditions.Not only has there been bu iding activity in the home coun- ; try; but recent advices from Argen-» .tina announce the erection by the Royal Mail Steam Packet of à monu- .mental building in the best business section of Buenos Ayres.This strue- ture, the Edificio Dritanico, or British , Building, was opened during the last: \"week of November, 1917.i \u2014 i FREIGHT SPACE FOR COTTON!
