HOLLYBURN Barber Shop 16th 6 Marina BXPERT SERVICE E. MARSH, Proprietor OPEN FORU111 At the Open Forum held at the Orange Hall on Sunday last with T J. Irwin in the chair, the speaker, 1V. W. Lefeaux, spoke on "The Unemployment Out- look." He gave a short outline of the progress of human society from primitive tribal commun- ism to our present commercial system with glaring inequality in the distribution of wealth. He declared the major cause of our present troubles to be the rapidly increased producing powers of all countries due to machinery and new methods and the fact that the purchasing power, that is the wages of the masses, had not increased in proportion so that 0 percentage of the goods pro- duced could not be purchased and consumed but piled up in the warehouses, finally causing a collapse of markets and a world-wide problem of unem ployment hitherto unknown. He predicted that no substan- tial relief from our economic troubles vcould be obtained until we returned to the principle of production for use instead of for private profit. The last Open Forum of the season will be held at the Orange Hall on Sunday March 29th at 3 p.m. when the speaker will probably be Prof, Soward of the U.B.C., and the subject for dis- cussion probably "Russia and IVorld Conditions."
