Farmers and skilled workers in New Zealand have not much to complain about when their conditions are compared with those in Canada, said Mr. W. Goodfellow, speaking at the garden party held at Claudelands, near Hamilton, to celebrate his return from Ottawa. In referring to the wages paid for skilled labour in Canada, Mr. Goodfellow pointed out that men were paid as low as from 3/4 to 4/2 a day. They were supplied with a log cabin to live in, but had to pay for their own food. This gave some idea of the extent wages had fallen. Co-operation in Canada was at a very low ebb. In Eastern Canada the majority of farmers could not speak English, while in Western Canada the butter-fat return at the end of the year was only 5Jd a lb. He was very disappointed that the farmers of Canada had not been represented at Ottawa Conference.
