MR GILCHRIST’S BOGY.

TO THB EDITOR. Sir,—l have road the denial of Air Jones, of tho Chamber ot Commerce. It does him credit. 1 take it for what it is worth, and that ie nothing. Regarding your very pleasant invitation, Mr Editor, to walk into your parlor and there disclose the uanio of my informant, I must respectfully decline such. For tho information, however, of tho general public, the gentleman is of and moves in the business circle of this city. I might point out, however, that it is and lias been an. open secret lhat tbe Employers’ Association, the Atunuiacturers’ Association, Chambers of Commerce, and some farmers’ unjoins have been discussing the question of preference to unionists, and 1 have roundly denounced the principle. I stick to what I Raid, for I believe it to he true.—l am, etc., John Gilchrist. [.Mr Gilchrist apparently knows what happened at tho conference of chambers of commerce better than the members who attended it or the Press reporters who reported it. Preference to unionists was denounced when it- was first introduced, years enough ago, and though non-Labor Governments have been in power ever since that time it has not been repealed.—Ed. E.S.]
