July 13, 1917 (12th Parliament, 7th Session)

Mr. OLIVER:

The hon. member for
South Cape Breton (Mr. Carroll), who is a member of the expeditionary force, stated in the House that when he was assisting in recruiting for a certain battalion in that locality they were not allowed to hold recruiting meetings in the vicinity, I understood, of the Sydney Steel works, because it was not desired that men should he recruited from that vicinity. I should like

to know by what authority such meetings were prevented.
