Hon. ERNEST LAPOINTE (Quebec East):

Does that include the orders in

council which have been adopted under the provisions for "peace, order and good government," or are they documents by themselves?

Right Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (Leader of the Opposition):

Can the Minister of Labour (Mr. Gordon) indicate when the report will be printed? I know that in the past it has been arranged sometimes to have the printing done a little in advance of the orders of the house.

I think it will be only a

day or two before the report is printed. I have asked the Secretary of State (Mr. Cahan) to speed up the printing. I am sending the right hon. gentleman a copy now.

Motion agreed to.

RAILWAY ACT AMENDMENT

Mr. G. B. NICHOLSON (East Algoma) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 29, to amend the Railway Act. He said: Mr. Speaker, section 179 of the Railway Act provides that in the event of a railway company deviating any of its lines or closing a terminal or a station, involving the necessity of its employees leaving their homes and moving to another point, they must first obtain the leave of the Board of Railway Commissioners, and the board may order such compensation to the employees as in their judgment the case warrants. I propose to amend this section by adding after the words "nor create a new divisional point" the following words: Nor make any change in the routing of traffic, nor run crews through divisional points where their homes are established, nor make any other change. And at the end of the section to add these words:

Questions

No such change shall be made or authorized without thirty days' notice of the intended change to the employees concerned. Subsections 1 and 2 of section 250 arbitrarily prohibit any superstructure being erected over a line of railway that does not provide a fixed clearance of seven feet between the highest freight car used on the railway and the lowest beam of the structure. Subsection 5 however, grants the railway commission authority to give special permission in certain cases to change this arbitrary clearance. It is proposed to amend subsection 5 by adding the following words: Provided that no exemption shall be made from the operation of this section nor any change made in the standards fixed by this section until due notice and hearing is first given to all parties interested. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

YUKON QUARTZ MINING ACT

Hon. T. G. MURPHY (Minister of the Interior) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 30, to amend the Yukon Quartz Mining Act. He said: The regulations for the disposal of quartz mining claims in the Northwest Territories were established by order in council under the authority of section 35 of the Dominion Lands Act, being chapter 113, of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927, while quartz mining claims in the Yukon territory are granted under the Yukon Quartz Mining Act, which does not permit of any amendments except by legislation. The purposes of this bill are twofold: 1. To make it. possible for the governor general in council to extend to holders of mineral claims in the Yukon territory the same measure of consideration as it is possible to extend to holders of mineral claims in the Northwest Territories in the matter of relief from representation work on mineral claims; 2. To provide a penalty clause designed to prevent misrepresentation as to work claimed to have been done on a mineral claim, and to prevent removing or disturbing any legal post or stake marking a claim. , Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
