This was one of\nthe things we were told when the\nDominion governmentTiuilt the Canadian Government Merchant Marine.\nSir Robert Borden, Arthur Meighen\nand McKenzie King all in their turn\nwaxed eloquent over the .prospects\nof Canadian seamen aboard Canadian vessels.\nThe government built a fleet of\nvessels for which it paid the shipbuilders the peak prices of, war-time,\nand now in order to save its face it\nis trying to meet the deficit by reducing the wages and lowering the\nworking conditions of the_.seamen\nuntil going to sea aboard a Canadian\ngovernment vessel is little more than\na toss-up with going to jail.\nHere are just a few facts concerning the conditions prevailing aboard\nCanadian government vessels at the\n,,U;res,c,\"nfc.\u00bbJS.\u00bbme^t;- \u25a0:^rw!-'?s:-i-*^<*x&sx'>\nScale of Wages on Canadian''\nGovernment Vessels\nDEEP SEA\nBowswairi\u2014$64 a month; no fiWd\nhours; overtime without pay on\ndeep sea coastal vessels.\nDonkeymait\u2014$64 a month; 8\nhours at sea; overtime pay discontinued, fronTSept. 1, 1924;\nOilers\u2014$62 a month; 4 hours on\nand 8 hours off; compelled tp_work\novertime without pay.\nSeamen, A.B.\u2014$60 a month; 4\nhours on_and 4 hours-off;. compelled\nto work overtime without pay.\nSeamen, O.\u2014$30 a month; no\nfixed hours; compelled to work overtime without pay.\nCadets\u2014$15-$25 a month; no fixed hours; compelled to work overtime without pay.\nFiremen and Trimmers\u2014$60 a\nmonth; 4 hours on and 8 hours off;\ncompelled to work overtime without\npay..\nDEEP SEA COASTiAL\nSeamen, A.B.^-$07,5'0; no fixed\nhours; overtime.\nFiremen and Trimmers\u2014$67.50;\n4 hours on, 8 hours off; compelled\nto work overtihTe without pay.\nThe food conditions obtaining\naboard Canadian Government vessels are without a doubt the worst\nobtaining on any vessels flying the\nBritish flag.\nLiving quarters are fair on most\n-vessels, but'4he men are compelled\nto clean them and get their own\nfood after doing their watch, whereas other vessels carry mess boys for\nthis work.\nMedical facilities aboard the_ vessels are of the very poorest\u2014many\nships leaving port with nothing in\nthe sh.ape of a first aid kit or the\nctfinWoTi'W''jifed1cal requisites. \"-';- '\nOne of the latest move? for economy\" on \"\"We IjoWfnment deep\" sSea\nvessels has been the reduction of the\nnumber of Able Bodied Seamen on\ndeck from eight to four men, and\nreplafcirfg the four discharged A. \"B.\nSeamen, with.boys with little or lio\nsea experience.

A certain\nhotel in this city employs Chinese in its kitchen and white girls in the\ndining room. These girls are entirely under the thumb of the Chinese\nand who recently made a complaint to the hotel manager to the effect\nthat the girls were eating better food than they should have been. ; This\nthe girls denied, and the Chinese cook resented the denial and demanded\nthe dismissal of one of the girls. \u00ab.\nThe management agreed to the demands of the Chinaman whose value\nwas apparently more to the hotel than that of the white girl, who was\ntherefore given notice to leave.\nTreated With Contempt\nWhile serving out the notice the\ngirl became an object of ridicule at\n'4X(^ia^^b^\"We~:^^-vifi'^^uiip,j?!\nwhoosftjd all that, they could to make\nthe girl's stay as unpleasant as possible. -\nHorribly Insulted\nShe was entirely at the mercy of\nthese Chinamen, who had the friendship of the management. Day after\nday they became more abusive until\nthey at last began to call her the\nmost insulting names aha* \\ised the\nvilest language. They, called her\nnames that any women would have\nresented with a- bullet, but the\nChinaman always had a good sharp\nKnife iq his hand arid\" to avoid-the-\nvile names and lewd suggestions the\ngirl was forced to. leave. '\nDismissal Demanded .\nA demand, has been made upon\nthe management for redress and dismissal of the -Chinamen. If this is\nnot done The Labor Statesman will\nhave something else to say on t^he\nmatter which will not be very profitable to the manage'ment of the hotel.\n\u2022We are not in a position to publish\nthe name of the hotel, because libel\nsuits are sometimes expensive ami in\nthis particular case we'have only tlie\ngirl_'s word again* that of three\nChinamen-who.no doubt can affor-d\nexpensive counsel.\nA Different \"Clean-up'' Wanted\nThis case, , howeyer, is probably\n\u2022only one of many.

As\nhas been well said, \"the only con\ntr?ifn^\"'-m-sJ'TO\nlaw of change\u2014the only thing that\ndoes not change.\"\nWhile wc may marvel at the many\nchanges that have been and still are\nbeing wrought in the world of mechanical enterprise, in the realms of\nchemical research, in ethnology,'biology, psychology, etc., we are also\ncompelled to marvel at the general\nbackwardness, amidst such gigantic\nprogressive steps, of the human mind\nin the business of adjusting its affairs along scientific and common-\nsense lines.\nThe mind that can make heavier-\nthan-air machines encircle the globe\ncannot apparently lay out the\" distribution of the immense stocks of\nfood, etc., required by man for his\ncontinued sustenance in such fashion\nthat poverty disappears.

His charge that the Labor government is one \"bullied by a gang of\nwild men\" comes, with poor grace\nfrom the man who attempted to\nwheedle Bob Smillie into his own war\ncabinet and then bullied him for his\nstaunch refusal. And it depends in\njust what sense the word \"wild\" is intended. If it connotes irresponsibility, then David Lloyd George holds\nthe palm, surpassing even the depths\nattained by \"bottomless\" Pitt at the\ntime of the French Revolution. His\nwork at the time of, and subsequent\nto, the execution of the Versailles\nTreaty makes a more than ordinarily\ninteresting study contrasted, for instance, with the, recent work of the\nForeign Office, especially in its relations with Russia.\nSir William Joynson-Hicks, who\nreached a berth in the Imperial\nHouse of Commons in 1910, if we\nremember aright, by his victory over\neven a cheaper and much more notorious doo-daddle ,in the person of\njSyflfSS^Sfi&'l.SPl-\" Churchill,. appears\nquences of carrying intellectual\ncess baggage.\nWhat hinders the operation of ail\nprevading change more in the realm\nof the human mind than in other\nspheres'? This question we have already propounded. Simply that man\nhas not been able to. overcome the\npull of the cultural influences of u\nby-gone day, has not yet learned to\nreason in a matt*#-of-fact way concerning affairs in the domain of human relationships, in the realm of\npolities.\nHabits of thought, aptitudes, conventions, etc., to which the human as\na matter of evolution has become inured, have not been outgrown, or\nthrown off, with the same degree of\ncompleteness, as have those phenomena which might well be described as\nthe non-human.

It pro\nvided that boys on leaving common\nschool would be taken on for three\nmonth's probationship in a saw mill\nor a wood-working plant, and at the\nend of that time if the boy proved\nsatisfactory an agreement would be\nmade between the boy's parents and\nthe mlil owner, which bound the boy\nto work four, years,.at a \"graded\nsjhlo of. wages.\" In addition, to this\ntrust fund lor the apprentice, which\nmoney would be forfeited to the\nemployer if the boy left before the\nfour years, expired.\nThe bosses agreed, that manual\ntraining as taught in the public\nschools was useless in view of the\nfact that only 34 per cent of tbe\nboys attending common school\nreached high school where . they\nmight receive more extensive training.\nWhen you read this just .remember that it did not happen a hundred\nyears ago in Europe, but two weeks\nago in Victoria, B.C.\nOur Schools\nBy ROBERT.

Apart, however, from trying to change the outlook of the children in regard to\nhistory, war, drink, gambling and\nother eyils,- there are two things standing out far above 'all others which\n(i.alOor.

School\nSeating is another item in need of\ndrastic reform. No two people sit\nalike, and-what is-an easy position\nfor one person becomes painful to\nanother if one position is kept for\nany length of time. For instance,\na boy or girl with a curvature of the\nspine will \u2022 most certainly 'develop\na weak chest or defective breathing\nin the seats used in our schools today. To study well, one must be\ncomfortable and labor must see to it\nthat adjustable seats take the place\nof the rigid forms used now, when\nnew schools are being.built and as the\nold seats need replacing.\nPhysical culture must also become\npart of the curriculum and a fully-\nequipped gymnasium should be in\nevery school.
