THE OTTAWA JOURNAL THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 193T, 12 ROGERS CALLS ALL PROVINCES TO vjabor Minister Will Meet Delegations And Discuss Winter Relief Needs. Delegations from all the provinces will come to. Ottawa this month to confer with Hon. Norman Rogers, Minister of Labor, with respect to the approaching problem of Winter relief throughout the Dominion. The respective requirements of each province will be discussed in detail and suitable arrangements to meet the needs of each, with the full federal support that the in-: dividual circumstances warrant, will be drafted.

For Slngto-Cnemployed. The principal problem with which the Dominion Is diipoaed to assist, in co-operation with the provinces, is that of the single unemployed transients who drift into "the cities during the Winter months. Already several municipalities, principally in the west, have become concerned over the burden wfclch this class of unemployed threatens to become and have addressed petitions to Ottawa for aid. Such communications have come particularly from Alberta, where the Social Credit Government has evidenced an intention to compel the municipalities to treat these men a local problem, without any provincial assistance. The Dominion Government, however, will assist the provinces to ail the municipal! ties.

One of the main proposals will probably be to revive for anotner winter last year! farm placement scheme which operated with extraordin ary success. Land Farm Placement Under the farm placement schema the Dominion and provincial governments' co-operated in offering Inducements to farmers who were willing to employ a man over the Winter months. The man received, in addition to his keep from the farmer, a monthly allowance from the Government Under the scheme about 60,000 aingle homeless unemployed men were provided for last Winter and a substantial number remained in farm employment when the Winter was over.

CONFERENCE Didn't Get Paid For Hanging Act Joseph Ovette And Spectators Faint At Port Erie. A realistic attempt, to hang himself was carried out at Fort Erie by Joseph Ovette, of Carlsbad Springs snd Ottawa.

It was so realistic in fact that Ovette and two women spectators fainted. Ovette stated that he carried out the hanging experiment to prove that he could outdo the repertoire ot a man who caught bullets from a gun. He said that he stood to receive $250, nut as ine nuuei catcher failed to witness his at tempted hanging he forfeited the money. On Labor Day a piece of tim ber- was placed in a protruding position from an alcove at the hotel in Fort Erie. Block, tackle and plenty of rope were secured and the stage all set.

Ovette's wrists were bound behind his back and he was tied to a chair. iTht rope was then flung over the timber and noose placed around the man's neck. The next move came when Ovette was hoisted into the air by Ted Mahoney and Bill Dage-nais, of Ottawa. Perhaps impressed by the grim realism of his position Ovette lost little time iff extricating-hlmself from, his bonds and the noose and soon dropped to the ground where he fainted. His novel stunt was recorded by newsreel cameramen.

(By Wireless) The Hudson Bay- Company ship, Nascopie, carrying the -Government's eastern Arctic patrol, cleared from Fort Ross on Ballot Strait last night after being delayed is hours by a snowstorm.

Three Hudson's Bay company officials were left in charge ot Fort Ross, the post being constructed within the past week from materials Isnded from the Nascopie.

"The Fascist Govern- -i ment hence has come to the conclusion that the arguments to be considered eaa be examined adequately by the non intervention committee In London." This 27-power committee, set ud months ago in an attempt to keep foreign men and arms out ot Spain, "has had experience also in technical and naval questions which renders it perfectly adaptable to facing the problem It Ja evident the Fascist Gov ernment must postpone every decision of an affirmative sense un til the incident created by the Soviet note shall have been satis factorily settled," the communication added, 'Italy Ignores Charges.

Italy rejected it and the Soviet-Union immediately pressed its charges in a second communication," Which Italy has ignored. If the Mediterranean piracy matter to taken before the aea-laterveaUoa i committee, Italy said, tt should "avoid the eonveeaUen ef a new and special conference." It also would have the advantage of. "not excluding any one of the great European powers and other powers directly, interested, thus permitting particularly the participation of Poland and Portugal." In conclusion, the note said Italy did not doubt that the British and French would understand the rea sons tor its attitude. As for the Soviets, the Italian note said they had tried to make Italy responsible "for some of the recent torpedoing in the Mediterranean' on. the basis of an "arbitrary" recital of charges.

The note also recalled no one had suggested a special conference when the German warship Leip zig was attacked the Mediterranean. "The Fascist Government," said the note, "has followed and now is following events in the Medl terrsnean with all the attention required by reason of her situation as a great Mediterranean power, interested in a direct and vital manner in security and peace 1 in that see."
