June 5, 1935
Hon. W. A. GORDON (Minister of Labour):
The only information the Department of Labour has with respect to the so called trek of strikers is what appears in the press. So far as I am aware no communication has been received by the department from any official or unofficial source.
June 5, 1935
Mr. GORDON:
I have no doubt the hon. member is aware that very likely the mounted police, in the course of their duties, would watch such a performance as these men apparently are staging, but so far as the Department of Labour is concerned we have no official knowledge of it.
June 3, 1935
Mr. GORDON:
We are all getting better.
June 3, 1935
Mr. GORDON:
It was scandalous even in good times.
June 3, 1935
Mr. GORDON:
What would you suggest?
