I WINNIPEG, March hundred million dollars is now invested in the meat packing industry in Canada. This is shown in a pre' liminary report for the calendar i year 1919, just issued by the lnion Bureau of Statistics. This re; port shows that the industry, which a comparatively short time ago was very small and which is still in its infancy, provides employment for more than 13.000 workers and pays out more than $15,000,000 in wages. While the industry is largest in Ontario, settlement of the agricultural sections along the Canadian National Railways in the West given the Province of Alberta second position.
