BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE

STATEMENT AS TO LEGISLATION IN ADDITION TO THAT ALREADY ANNOUNCED

On the orders of the day:
?

Right Hon. S@

Yesterday my right hon.

friend the leader of the opposition (Mr. Mackenzie King) asked if the government could advise the house whether or not when we resume after the recess there will be other legislation in addition to the bills based on the report of the price spreads commission and the housing committee. I am sorry that I am unable to answer that question just now. I think that there will be a few other bills, but we all expect that when the house meets again after the recess the Prime Minister himself will be able to give the house the information sought.

Mr. E. J. GARLAND (Bow River):

Mr. Speaker, I have a question to direct to the Minister of Railways (Mr. Manion). I have received information from the Cadomin, Luscar and Mountain Park coal. mines in Alberta to the effect that the Canadian National Railways recently reduced, I think on April 1, the price they offer for coal by fifty cents a ton. I am anxious to know if this is true, and if so, what is the reason for it. The men are extremely exercised, and I am informed that there is danger of an outbreak if any economies are effected at the expense of the men.

Hon. R. J. MANION (Minister of Railways) :

I regret, Mr. Speaker, that I had

not word of the matter previously. Naturally this matter is not discussed with me in any way, it is a matter for the management. But I shall gladly direct the attention of the management to my hon. friend's question and

ask them for an explanation which I shall send to him.
