CANADIAN PLAN
TO REPRESS THE UNEMPLOYED
United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyrigat.)
OTTAWA, August 2. The Canadian! Parliament is being prorogued to-morrow. Its chief accomplishment lias been the Australian Trade Treaty, and the measures taken to deal with farm relief and unemployment relief. In connection with the relief of the unemployed, however, strong action is planned against rioters and foreign agitators. Foreign leaders are particularly bitter against the Government’s proposal to establish work camps for highway construction and land clearing. The prospects of being concentrated in these work camps, and of not being fed unless they work puts a bitter taste in the mouths of hordes of holmes, who infest the cities and the countryside in summertime, and ride on the railways between the populous centres. These unemployed plunder goods in the trucks, or beg a living from settlers. In the regions traversed by them their depredations cost the country many thousands of dollars per annum.
