Veterans Charter debate in Ottawa focuses on pre enlistment disability
The Ottawa chamber opened study on the first of 12 bills forming Canada’s veterans charter and discussed farm-implement shortages. Howard Green urged pensions for veterans with pre enliste ment disability if medically fit. He noted 7,810 overseas veterans discharged as unfit with no pension and 64,207 with Canadian service discharge also ineligible. He asked funds for the dependents board to aid veterans and dependents and pressed veterans preference for non civil service jobs and War Assets purchases. Other veterans urged better First Great War care and opposed denying pension due to pre enlisting disability for those later accepted as fit.

Lords Rule On Violence Confirms Adultery Not Justification
The House of Lords refused appeals in Holmes's murder case, ruling that verbal provocation or a spouse's admission of infidelity does not normally justify murder to manslaughter. Only a single exceptional case allows such provocation to reduce the crime, the court said. The verdict reinforces trial guidance that adultery alone cannot lower murder to manslaughter. A brief note follows on Edmonton minister A J Horke returning from holiday in Portland.

The Canadian Steelworkers union submits wage and benefit proposals to the Commons Industrial Relations Committee to end a 13 day strike affecting about 5,000 workers at Steel Corp Algona and related plants in Sault Ste Marie Hamilton and Sydney. Proposals call for 15 2 cents an hour in three instalments plus annual cost of living adjustments, removal of the Sydney wage gap, union dues with voluntary membership, a 44 hour week, and increased vacations. The union insists any settlement apply to all three companies and their subsidiaries. Final offer claims wage rises plus living-cost adjustments are needed as prices rose. Some observers oppose certain retroactive raises. The hearing drew a large crowd including union delegates and MPs.
