The House of Commons on Friday established machinery for the most sweeping parliamentary enquiry into industrial conditions ever attempted in Canada. With one voice the House passed a motion, sponsored by the Prime Minister, Mr R. B. Bennett, to set up a committee of 11 members to investigate price disparities between consumers and producers. Instructions to the committee are couched in the widest terms, but emphasis is laid on the investigation of mass buying practices, chain and department stores, labour conditions in industries, relations cetween the flour milling industry and the bakeries, and the methods of marketing livestock and animal products of all sorts.
