He presented a list containing the names of 175 men who had no funds with which to carry on. OBJECTS TO ATTITUDE der. TALKS OF CAMPS "I want to say right here that I am prepared to stand up for the rights of the returned men," said Alderman Charles Nash, with emphasis. "But when I find a returned man who is trying to put something over on us, I won't stand for it." Alderman Nash, by questioning Mr.

Andres, brought out the information that the latter had been sent to a farm job by the Canadian Legion, but because salary was only $10 per month and board, he had refused to take it. was admitted by Mr. Andres. "If such is the case I don't see why he is here," declared Alderman R. M.

Pinder, who took strong exception to the statement by Mr. Andres "that there was going to be trouble if the city didn't do something." don't like people taking this attitude at all," Alderman Pinder continued. "He has had his chance to get board and a good home and he turned it down. By his attitude he is just making the situation that much tougher for the rest of the boys to get help." No doubt every member of the council was prepared to do something for the men who were hungry, Alderman Pinder said. A representative of the city relief department said he had correspondence on file respecting Mr.

Andres which would endorse the. statements expressed by Alderman Pin- Another returned man, E. Moss, who had been in a relief camp during winter, also pointed out that the men were getting short of funds. While he had a small cheque coming to him, he had no funds. For the benefit of council he briefly outlined the conditions existing at the camps.

The wages received were $1.65 per day. Of this amount they had to pay 85 cents per day for meals, 25 cents week for laundry and 50 cents per month for medical fees. After buying their clothes they had little left over. Definite information could, not be given as to whether or men who had signed the list were all Saskatoon residents. Most of them were, one of the delegates said.

Mr. Rowland believed that most of the 175 could be placed on farm jobs within the next week or two. Last week the provincial government employment office had sent out 73 men. The demand would no doubt heavier this week, he thought. During the present week members of Mr.

Rowland's department will get in touch with farmers and others throughout this area with a view of locating as many positions as possible. Last fall by this means approximately 475 men had been placed for harvest work, he said. Third SASKATCHEWAN, TUESDAY, APRIL Magistrate Fines Son For Breach Of Bylaw Police Magistrate F. M.

BRITAIN LIKELY TO COME WITH BARGAINING ATTITUDE "There is not the least doubt in the world that Great Britain will approach the Ottawa conference in a bargaining spirit," W. Waldron, Saskatchewan Markets Commissioner, at present England, warns in a letter to Professor R. K.

Baker Mr. Waldron quotes from the report of recent deputation to the British minister of agriculture from the National Poultry Council. "The deputation urged, in connection with the forthcoming discussions at Ottawa, that consideration should be given to the desirability of affording the home industry some protection from imports from the Empire by means either of a duty or a quota," the report says. "The national government has enacted and is enacting legislation," Mr. Waldron says, "which places the country in a position to grant preferences to those who are prepared to treat likewise, that is to say, in the Empire.

April Judgment was reserved in the Saskatchewan court of appeal in the case of William C.

The case grew out of an accident last fall in which E. C. Sharpe of Saskatoon, lost his life.

HIRED MAN TELLS COURT OF SHOOTING Domestic Tragedy Cited In Kurt Fiedler Case At Prince Albert ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE IS PRESSED ACCUSED TRIED TO PUT GUN IN HIS HANDS. RUDOLF MAEURER TESTIFIES Special to The Star-Phoenix. PRINCE ALBERT, April The first case heard in the Court of King's Bench, which opened here today for the spring assizes, is that of Kurt Fiedler, Russellville farmer and dairyman, charged with attempted murder and also with causing serious bodily harm to the person of Rudolf Maeurer, his hired man. The case was outlined to the jury by S. J.

A. Branion, K.C., crown prosecutor, who called Maeurer as his first witness. ADMITTED WRONG The story, a tale of domestic unhappiness which resulted in the alleged shooting of Maurer by his employer, was to the effect that Maurer, a young man of German birth, a resident in the district for over three years, had been employed at different times by Fiedler and lived at the Fiedler home with his employer, his wife and young son. Toward the end of January of this year, Fiedler went to Saskatoon, leaving his family and Maeurer at the farm. Subsequently Mrs.

Fiedler received a letter, and she too went to Saskatoon. On February 11 Fiedler returned and walked out from Prince Albert to the farm. Maeurer, who was the first witness called this morning, gave evidence that he was cutting wood in the yard when Fiedler returned, looking angry and excited. The accused asked Maeurer to come the house and talk and when there. he told that when he was in Saskatoon he had had a "second sight" and saw his wife having illicit relations with him (Maeurer).

He asked if that true and Maeurer had confessed it was. Then Fiedler stated that two of them was one too many and had asked, "which of us will go?" REFUSED TO KILL SELF Maeurer had said would go, and Fiedler had then ordered him to go to the cow barn and hang himself. Maurer said he refused and the accused then suggested that they both go to the barn and fight it out. As Maeurer still refused to go into the barn, they both went outside and Fiedler, according to Maeurer's statement, drew revolver, shooting him in the breast. Maeurer said he did not fall and Fiedler went over to him and pushed him down.

Then the accused had removed the wounded man's mitten and endeavored to place the revolver in his hand. As his fingers were stiff they would not close on revolver, and the accused placed it beside him. Maeurer did not lose consciousness and recalled that Fiedler had gone into the house, returning with two coats which he placed over him. Then Fiedler went away and Maeurer got up and staggered to the home of Nelson Gotchie, a short distance away. Mrs.

Gotchie, being alarmed that Fiedler might find him at their house, sent him to the Gillies' farm home, a short way off, telephoning to the Gillies boys to meet him, which they did, taking him in and caring for him until he was brought in to the hospital at Prince Albert, where he lay for 26 days. Fiedler has been confined in jail since February 13. He pleaded not guilty in a clear voice. Fiedler is an ex-member of the German navy, and won the Iron Cross for distinguished service and courage. He is the son of well-to-do parents, and is facing the serious charge with remarkable poise.

That evening Hnatruak visited the Shewchuk shack and instead of finding anyone home, discovered a note from Shewchuk in which he stated that he was spending the evening at the home of John Berezuk. Saturday afternoon, April 9, Shewchuk visited the home of his neighbors, Wasyl and John Chorney, and asked if he could borrow their gun and one shell as he desired to kill a deer.

CLAIM BUS TEST UNFAIR Wages Paid Operators Below Standard, Say Street Car Men The Saskatoon street railway employees, in a letter which will be placed before city council next Thursday night, offer the opinion that the larger part of the revenue taken by the buses operated here is being drawn from the street railway. In other words, the majority of those buses would ordinarily be people now riding.

Chapman, secretary of the Saskatoon branch of Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees of America, it is emphasized that the test being conducted with buses was unfair inasmuch as the wages paid the bus operators was below standard. It is further urged that be carried out under standard conditions.

The question of renewing the contracts with the owners of the buses will be considered by council at a special meeting to be held Thursday night. The buses are being rented on a mileage basis, the agreements being renewed from month to month.

"It will be necessary for council to decide on the question as to whether the both routes now being operated will be continued after the present month," Commissioner Andrew Leslie states in a special report on the subject. Even should council decide to try out the operation of buses for a further period, the commissioner believes it would be inadvisable to enter into any arrangement at the present time involving the purchase of buses.

Gerald Dealtry, who presented the request, said it was no concern of the city what a man's political views might be as long as he did not use his job to put over propaganda.

Dealtry emphasized. There were, no doubt, a lot of Liberals, he said, who believed all Conservatives should be in jail, and vice versa, but that did not alter the facts of the situation. Alderman F. A. Blain asked whether the men had "kept their mouths shut while on the job." In discussion that followed, this question was not answered.
