Committee.ALD.LESPERANCE REPORTS THAT BAD WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON CITY HALL ROOF There was a significant httle \u201cbreeze! between Ald.Lesperance.on the ur side and Aldermen ; Giroux and Couture on the other at the first meeting of the newly- constituted City Hall Committee yesterday aîter noon it will be recalled that Ald.Couture was first nominated chairman où this com- mittes, but when the changes were decided upon by à majority of the Ald.Lesperaice.City Council he was relegated tothe position of an ordinary member and Ald.desperan elevated in his stead.Ald.Girous was also displaced from the rip of the Road Committee, and put on Un City Hall Committee.It was quite expected that a sp resentment would be shown by Ald.Couture and Ald.Giroux and the alist of the expectation was the event of vox terday afternoon's meeting.At the outset, Ald.Lesperance.the chairman.asked Ald.Giroux.a memier of the old committee.if he would preside while the minutes of the last meeting were being read, as, having been present at that meeting, he was thr best quah- fied to sign them as correct, ; Ald.Giroux declined the honor.\u2018Yon have been appointed rhairman.he said to Ald.Lesperance, \u2018and | do not see any reason why vou should not act mm that capacity.Ald.Giroux went on {a complain be cause a meeting was being held that ar terfoon, as he and Ald, Couture lad been invited to a banquet at Sault au Recollet and they had come back to the «ity at considerable inconvenienes 1 themeelves, lle thought the meeting ar might have been adjourned.as it was Lot at all unusual for a chairman of committee to study the convenience ni his colleagues.He did not know whe: ther the chairman in this instance had refused to put off the mesting through ignorance, or through want of courtes! \u2018It was through neither, Mr.Grous.replied Ald.Lesper ance, \u201cbut since you insinuate there has been a lack of courtesy toward yourself I may say that 1 you had shown proper courtesy toward the chairman, by communicating directly with him, instead of merely telephoning to the secretary, to ask for an adjoura- ment of the meeting, your request would have been gladly acceded to, as 1 have every desire to work in harmony with the whole committee, and to do everything 1 can to meet their convenience.\u2018We do not intend to do ir.\u201d remarked Ald.Couture, bluntly.\u2018Very well, then) saïd the chairman, quietly, \u2018if you do not, the meetings will always be held on the days that have been fixed by council\u2014Wednesday aîter- noon.Ald.Giroux said he cnly received the notice of the meeting on the previous afternoon, which was rather late.The chairman answered that if he had been delayed somewhat in sending out i the notices it was due to the fact that this was his first meeting, and he was \u2018not accustomed to the management of | the committee.Ald.Couture (sharplyi=\"1f you have I not the experience, why di] vou accept 1 the position?\u2019 | \u2018Just because I have a desire to learn.to carry oul the work and an intention | wl the chairman.pnrmiy.properly,\u201d retorted li Ald.Couture had deliberately \u2018u- \"tended to ruffle the chairman ne =znaliv failed.The remainder of the piocerd lugs went through in very busime-hke manner.but Ald.Couture would not al low any decision to be arrived at oon any of the matters that were brought up.He called \"next meeting to evury- thing.and explained his conduct by saying Uni they were a new committee.meeting for the first time.and it was enly right they should be given an of ortunity to study what was before then before deciding anything.He asked Lor information regarding the repairs that were being done to the City Hall roof The chairman said that #& Imastel plumber, having a practical knowledge of what ought to be done.he had made it.his business to inspect = work jar as it had gone, and he had no hewi- tation in saying that any further repairs to the roof would be a waste of money.as the place was past repair.The only real economy would be to put on « new roof altogether.The repairs, as far as they had gone on the towers, wece well done.and the work there might be completed.For the rest, he dil not ay The work was absolutely worthless, but he amserted confidently that it might have been carried out in a more economt- cal way.Mr.R.Montbriand, the architect.was instructed to prepare u special renort on the matter for the next meeting of the committee.Ald.Levy submitted a question a written answer at the next meeting, in order to know on whose authority the municipal halls at St.Henri and Ste.Cunegonde had been leased to friends of Ald.Payette for the whole of the mayoral election campaign, and what amount had been paid to the ty or the use of the halls.BEN les for ol DETECTIVES WERE WATCHING.Edward Ford, who gave his address as Richelieu Hotel, was arrested last night by Detective Trudel and Constable Burke.The officers noticed Ford jump ing

The people of Montreal had already made heavy contributions to public works and railway enterprises all over the country, and were entitled to special consideration on that account.The Dominion Government should conter with the Provincial Government so that joint action could be taken.As it was when anyone interested himself in this question he was sent from Quebec to Uttawa, from Calaphug to Pilate, and Pilate.in the person of the present Finance Minister, washed his hands of the whole matter.and the tollzates remained.an intolerable nuisance lo all those whose business took them over these highways.In days gone by, Sir Wilfrid Laurier had promised the people of Jacques Cartier that if he was returned to power at Ottawa, and if his friend, Mr.Mercier, was returned to power at Quebec.a way would be found of sweeping the tollgates away.But sir Wilfrid had been in office these many years, and still the tollgate nuisance remained.Mr.Monk roposed that an Inquiry should be Mr.F.D.Monk.edness to the Dominion Government.Made into the Turnpike Trust's indebt-|- DOMINION PARLIAMENT.a Resolution Regarding Abolition of all Toll Gates on Island of Montreal.ER THAT IT IS THE DUTY OF THæ GOVERNMENT TO RECEIVE OVERTURES FROM THE PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES CARRIED ON DIVISION, impossible that he could have appealed to the electors on bebalf of Mr.Mercier, because the latter was at that time in his grave.If he had ever spoken on the tollgate question at all it certainly Province of Quebec with a view to re-!was not in such positive terms as the member for Jacques Cartier implied.Clearly, though, Mr.Monk was not so anxioug for the remedying of this grievance as his words to-day would imply.What he wanted was a grievance against the government to parade before the electors of his county.Who was going to keep up these highways if the Turnpike Trust was abolished ?Let the local authorities agree among themselves who was to keep these roads in order, the province of Quebec, the people of Montreal, or the people of Jacques Car tier, and when they Pad reached an understanding in this regard let them come to Ottawa and they would find.the Dominion Government most liberal, and disposed to hear what they had to propose.But.let Mr.Monk first come to an understanding with his own people.The chances were that the honorable gentleman in his references to this matter throughout, Jacques Cartier had never so much as referred to what would happen if the present system of control was abolished.Yet, someone, must keep the roads un They could not be left to the angels.For his own part, he quite agreed with what had been said as to the faults inherant in the tollgate system.In conclusion, Sir Wilfrid proposed that Mr.Monk\u2019s motion be amended to read as follows : \u201cThat it is the duty of the government to receive overtures that may be made by the government of the Province of Quebec with a view to removing all obstacles to the abolition of tollgates upon the roads of the Island of Montreal.\u2019 Mr.Leonard (Laval) seconded Mr.Monk's request for the abolition of the toll-gates around Montreal, and said that the electors of his ova county were quite prepared to take charge of these highways if they weve given an opportunity to do eo.The Hon.Mr.Lemieux scconded what the Prime Minister had said about Mr.Monk's motive in bringing this matter before parliament at each successivte session.This was not a matter for the Dominion House at all.It was a local matter pure and simple, and Mr.Monk's only purpose in bringing it up at Ottawa was to use it as a means of gaining favor with the electors of Jacques Carier.Dr.Sproule proposed that the motion should be further amended to provide that it was the duty of the government SIR WILFRID REPLIES.The Prime Minister replied that with-| out boasting.he had a better memory in this matter than Mr.Monk.The only speaking he had ever done in Jacques to receive overtures for the removal of the toll-gates about the Dominion Government\u2019s offices.\u2018All who have any dealings with the government.\u201d be said.\u2018know that there are toll-gates and that the tolls are high The debate was continued hv Mr.Cartier wa, in 1895 and 1896, and it was d Coats for Ladies Monk and Mr.Brodeur, Mr.Boyer, Mr.dian Mink, etc, etc a + BR;

the purchase of vacant property bounded by McGill, Normand, Youville and Comunissioners streets, about 68.000 square feet, and owned by the Grey Nuns.The property in question was large enough, Mr.White said, for a custom house ex- amining warehouse and an inland revenue office.He strongly urged the pure chase of this land as à prudent investment and expressed the belief that be could get an option thereon ior $4,530 per foot.On Nov.4.Alfred St.Cyr, solic tor for the Grey Nuns, wrote offering the property for ¥00.000, payable in cash on the signing of the contract ot purchase.Afterwards

their minds as to thew course of procedure in view of the reduction of wages announced by the slip ping companies for the conung season.1t is probable that no united expression of opinion will be given for some time, as many of the men are at present scat tered far and wide, a large number bes ing away in lumbering camps and other places where winter employment ix to be obtained.Those to Le found at the Longshoremen's Union offices on Uon- m'sizoners street take diverse views on the matter, some saying thai they will not submit to a reduct.on, while others are inchned to make tue best of the situation, in view of the prospects of a dul] shipping season.These latter soy that the pay and conditions at \u2018the wharves are much better than they were a few vears ago, when the stevedores hired and farmed out the iongsho men.In addition to that the new sheds have given them better protection from the weather and made work caster: while: they have found the sick benefit association established of late vears \u2018iw companies a decided advantage.With regard to the vitnation at Quebec, Mr.MeNicoll, of the ¢.P.1.states that if there is trouble at that SCATTERED UNITED the i

could be put up in a short time, and tine traffic is just whmt Three Rivers has long been looking for.\u2018But,\u2019 said- Mr.McNicol], Ÿ we ure compelled to Jeave Quebec we might as well come to

of Ovila Labadie, who attacked Constable Paquet with an axe ¢n Tuesday night has led to the discovery at his home of about $1,500 worth of what are believed to be stolen articles.After Labadie had been remanded ly Judge Choquet yesterday Constable Paquet applied for a search warrant, and went with other officers to 33 Wellington street, where Labudie lived with his father-in-law, Alphonse Renaud.The piles of goods found in the place surprised the constables, who came to the conclusion that they were stolen, and had them removed to the Chaboillez and Central stations.The goods.which filled two patrol waggons, included furs, tweeds, tapestry, half a dozen new overcoats, taryaulins, a tent, fifteen cases of window giass, roofing and wall paper, and a number of small articles.As Renaud would give no account of them he was arrcsted.[tv is hoped that the owners of the goods will be found.A BURGLAR IN THE ANNEX DISTURBED WHILE PILLAGING A HOUSE \u2018ON MANCE STREET, ESCAPES

FRASER'S BUILDING, 207, 209 & 211 3t.James St, MONTREAL, REDUCTION OF WAGES BY THE RAILWAYS LETTER FROM PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO INTER-STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION.Washington, Feb.19.\u2014Serious Industrial disputes in prospect were in the mind of President Roosevelt.when he wrote a letter yesterday to the Inter State Commerce Commission, which was made public to-day.The President's letter follows: ; \u2018The White House, \u2018Washington, Feb.18, 1908.\u2018To the Inter-State Commerce (Commis sion: \u20181 am informed that a number of railway companies have served notice of a proposed reduction of wages on their em- ployces.One of them, the Louisville & Nashville, in announcing the reduction, states that \u201cthe drastic laws inimical to the interests of the railways that have in the past year or two been enacted hy Congress and the state legislatures,\u201d are largely or chiefly responsible for the conditions requiring the reduction.\u2018Under such circumstances 1t 1s possible that the public may soon be confronted by serious industrial disputes, and the law provides that in such cases cither party may demand the services of your chairman, and of the Commis sioner of Labor as a board of mediation ang conciliation.These reductions in wages may be warranted, or they may not.As to this, the public, which is a vitally interested party, can form no judgment without a more complete knowledge of the essential fact and real merits of the case than it now has or than it can possibly obtain from the special pleadings to be put forth by each side in case their dispute should bring about serious interruption to traffic.If the reduction in wages is due to natural causes.the loss of business being such that the burden should be, and is, equitably distributed between capitalist and wage-worker, the public should know it.1f it is caused by legislation, the publie and Congress should know it, and 1! 14 is caused by misconduct in the past financial or other operations of any railway, then everybody should know tu especially if the excuse of unfriendly legislation is advanced as a method of covering up past business misconduct hy the railway managers, or as a justification for failure to treat fairly the wage- earning employees of the company.Morc- over, an Industrial conthet between a railway corporation and Its employees offers peculiar opportunities to any small number of evil disposed persons to des troy life and property and foment pub- He disorder.Of course, if life.property and public order are endangered.prompt and drastic measures for their protection become the first plain duty.All other issues then become subordinate to the preservation of the publie peace, and the real merits of the original contro- very are necessarily lost from view.This vital consideration should be ever kept in mind by all law-abiding and far-sight- ed members of labor organizations.\u2018It is sincerely to be hoped, therefore.thay any wage controversy that may arise between the railways and their employees may find a peaceful solution through the methods of conciliation and arbitration already provided by Congress, which have proven so effective during the past year.To this end the commission should be in a position to have avatlable for any board of conciliation or arbitration relevant data pertaining to such carriers as may hecome involved in industrial disputes.Should ennciha- tion fail to effect a settlement and arbitration be rejected.accurate information should be available in order to develop a properly informed public opinion, \u2018I therefore azk vou to make such investigation, both of, your records and by any other means at your command.as will enable vou to furnish data concerning such conditions obtaining on the Louisville & Nashville and other roads.as may relate, directly or indirectly, to the real merits of the possibly impending controversy.\u2018THEODORE ROOSEVELT.\u2019 WESTMOUNT

present was too uncertain, and he would not lay himself open to any misconceptions by the public.Mr.J.T.Ewart, of the Ewart Company.however, was less unwilling to enlighten the \u2018Witness\u2019 representative.Mr.Ewart would make no direct fore- raat as to prices, but he said enough to Justify the anticipation that famine prices are likely to he the rule.Mr.Ewart is satisfied that he has been getting a good quality of ice this winter: and if the thaw does not set In too soon.he may yet succeed in laying in a sufficient quantity; but the working expenses have 8o far been fullv fifty percent higher than in recent years.As regards this phase of the question.Mr.Ewart asserts that he had never vet had such a bad season.The work that ehould be accomplished in one day took two and a half days this year.This fact may easily be believed after a look at the ice bloeks brought in by the teams.Where the ice attaining only to a depth of nine inches.as against twenty-eight inches or so in former winters, it stands tn reason that the expenditure of time and labor in the harvesting must have more than doubled.\u2018This unusual thinness of the ice is ac- «nied for by the open fall experienced here.When the ice was just about one inh thick, the snow came down to act as a blanket upon the thin sheet of 1ve, Preventing it from thickening.I\" was long before the ice was thick \u201cnouzh on the river to trust the horses vnit, and when at last that could be tone more snow came and little could ber doit- but keep on sera-ing the snow ctf Ne roon as one layer où snow was =vtabed off another one came.and sp à æoed_ deal of the time and labor that should have been given to the \u2018harvest- Ing\u201d was spent in \"weeding.Often the teame were kept on tle river for three or four davs at a atreteh doing nothinx but waiting tor a favorable opportunity to 20 to work.Throughout the winter.so far.Mr.Ewart's teams have had onlv three full days\u2019 work in succt ssion.The rest were all half and quarter davs, ae- cording as the changes of the weather permitted it As showing the contrast between this and forner seasons, it is stated that whereas last vear the Ewart Company.for instance, haa their harvesting completed by Jan.25, this vear thev onlv started nn the twentv-eighth of the sama month.Asked how last week's thaw affected the dso, Mr, Ewart said that in some cases it had only just helped to wash off the snow.saving his teams the labor: in other cases, however it had thinned down the ice considerably, A visit to the river this week affor-ted additional insight into the vnormous amount of Tahar attendine this vear's ice harvest.Hund de of great blocks of ies are Wing scattered about the river.representing 60 much expenditure in time and lahor.as the cutting and hanl- ing nf them must have cntailed.bunt which are practically worthless, as the proportion of clear ice tn the great crust of brittle, opaque snow is often similar to the proportion of the suear coating to \u2018he cake in the conbetinners\u2019 window, These hlocke are not worth carting awav.The reckoning is hound to come.and it ik an open question as to who is ta pay for the loss.INCREASED CARTAGE RATES, On March first the Canadian railwavs will invrease the vartage charge on de- liverv of consignments of freight from ane and a half to two cents a hundred pounds.This increase has been rendered necessary hy the increased cost of delivery, due to increased vost of wages, keep of horses and other expenses.which have led the big delivery companies to increase their charges to the railwavs.Mr.G.M.Bosworth.of the C.P.BR.-\u2018ates that the increase will not meet the amount charged the railwavs br the vartage companies, which is well in ex- \u201cess of two cents a hundred pounds.An Unusual Opportunity is now in store for those wanting a elightly used or second-hand Piano of such makes as the Steinway, Nord- heimer, Weber, Knabe, Mason & Hamlin, Steck, Chickering, Lansdowne, Decker Bros, Hardman, Behr Bros., and many others in Upright and Square cases, all of which are in fine condition, ranging in prices from $73 to $300 and upwards.If you are interested and it is not convenient to call, write us, naming the price you wish to invest, and we will send you ful] description of justru- ments at the price you name.Nordher mer\u2019s, td, 389 St.Catherine street west.BRITISH EMIGRANTS FOR CANADA.Large Party Leave London For British Columbia Under Salvation Army Auspices.(Canadian Associated Press.)
