A survey conducted by the New York World shows it is gaining fast in .the larger cities where all the big department stores are closed Saturdays in July and Aug ust, giving their employees two days to go to the seashore or mountain, or rest at home. The movement is also-spreading in ' commercial establishments but the usual arrangement is to carry the - customary work hours over the five- day period to make up for the loss < of time Saturday. There are employers who raise a hue and cry , against the tendency for more leisure for employees as well as the .bosses, but medical authorities in ■ dorse the trend. < Big Stores Shorten Week In nine of the 14 cities surveyed , by The World the leading stores have adopted the shorter work week. In , Atlanta, San Francisco and Detroit it is being tried for the first time 'fllrris summer. Mercantile establishments are closing because in highly organized cen- 'tres the unions get the short work weekf and the members enjoy it far •froi.m the maddening city and are not lifcely to visit the stores. Thus it is 'economical to close them. : ... Unions in Vanguard ■•■ The movement in the unions is to- , ward a Saturday off instead of working a half day. In the garment centres the 44-hour week is now spread over the first five daya-in-the .week:- . This saves the exhausting ride in the subway,to work- on •Bat^tisff^itkge^ tually gains two hours, leisure in the time saved from riding. Two days off a week is getting to be a custom in the big cities and .eventually- will become a custom the nation over as in England, observers declare. The trade unions will have a big shave in this; it is hoped, by striving for the 40-hour, five-day week. VANCOUVER TOPS LIST The Mixer apd Server, Official organ of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union reports that of its 800 odd unions the Vancouver, B. C. topped the list in new members for the month of May. The total for Vancouver^was 84, the next nearest was Atlantic City, N. J., with 78. Don't Straight jacket the Human Mind Evolution is safe in California today as the result of action taken by the state board of education here recently approving for nublic school use textbooks teaching Darwinian evolution as a theory. The action was taken over the vigorous protests of the fundamentalist faction. Three biological books, objected to 'strenuously by the fundamentalists, were tbe center of the controversy. Dr. Louis I. Newman of San Francisco pleaded the cause of evolution in the name of "truth." "Don't straightjacket- the human mind," he said. Science should be allowed to advance the truth as it sees it. The teacher should have the right to impart the truth as he or she sees it and has developed it. "Put before the child the truth, and all the truth. The child has the right to know." Scientist Visions New Era for Women LONDON.—Women, who he sees •at present as mentally and physically inferior to men, will, in the near future, be in a position to compete with men in every way it is predicted by (Professor A. M. Lowe, noted British scientist. A world in which women will wear trousers, and high heels will be as extinct as the Dodo, is seen by Prof. Low. j Taking a peep at the average man on an average day in the near future, Low sees him rising at 9:30 . .olelook-at-4he-eaH-of'a-rauio'Biarm clock. He will then have to exercise Care not to put on his wife's clothing by mistake, the scientist remarks. During his quickly dispatched breakfast taken while dressing, the pleasant-toned loud speaker will keep him informed on the day's happenings, ' while a television machine will'-give him glimpses thereof. Food will either come from a communal kitchen by . the tube or delivered hot daily from the big stores. Leaving the neces- • sary instructions to his wife or servant on the dictaphone, he will drive to his office in a comfortable closed car, keeping in touch meanwhile with home and oCfce By radio. Driving his car into the building, it will be ; carried by lift to his office door. Low predicts that the more important buildings in the big cities will be totally inclosed, artificially lighted • and heated, and will have fiat roofs for airplanes to land passengers and goods. .'..;} .

Today it is 96,600, and' rapidly approaching the hundred thousand. Its political influence extends over a mucn wider field than is indicated by this membership, however. The Socialist group in parliament is larger than that of 1914, and at the recent municipal elections the Socialists conquered partially or entirely a number of important towns. The writer, speaking of the recent anxiety caused among the rank and file of the Party at the gradual movement of the Painleve ministry to wards the Centre, states that this anxiety will disappear now that the Socialist group in parliament has regained its independence ahd ceased its policy of supporting the govern ment.

A joint syndicate will be formed for the operations of the Trust outside France and Germany. The syndicate will divide the orders received in fixed proportions between the French and German interests. Within their own countries, the French and German interests each have full control of their markets. Output is. to be controlled by a separate syndicate.

SOCIALIZE BANKS That the success of the Socialist, attack is dependent' upon the early socialization of the banks and the use of national credit resources for the benefit of the nation was the de: mand express"-1 ' - a resolution, proposed at a meeting of the Birmingham Borough Labour Party -by Mr.' Oswald Moslsy, and carried by an overwhelming majority. Inefficient Methods of Coal Production Efficient management and up-to- date equipment were the remedies proposed by Mr. Vernon Hartshorn in the British House of Commons, for the depression in the mining industry, and for the full application of these remedies he contended that "some form of unification" of the industry was necessary. His starting point was the widespread tragedy of unemployment among miners, and in order to draw attention to the gravity of the situation, he moved a reduction of a Ministry of Labor Vote. 300,-000 Unemployed He stated that the number of unemployed miners last February was 1-31,000, an increase of 100,000 over February, 1924, and in June of this jrear.-thfijagirreJiad*j;isen-to.-304,0001- These statistics represented a mass Every British Union May Be Involved "Profits first; everything else after." So Mr. MacDonald characterizes the mineowners' proposals. "The mines crisis/' he said, '!hss come nearer by a very decisive step-. The letter of the owners was received by the whole public, with obvious disapproval; but what the* public did. not seem to grasp was that the letter was an indication of the minds of those who have been working up this crisis for a long time. It shows quite clearly what their conception of the control and distribution of the proceeds of the, industry really is. Profits first; everything else after. "The owners' letter emphasizes in a plainer way than I have ever known . the view that the capitalist interest in production must rank first, and have a prior claim over life and _hu- man requirements in the distribution of proceeds. The moral sense of'the nation will emphatically reject that claim. Negotiations that Meant Failure "Did anyone expect that the miners could take such a document as a basis of further negotiations. I think it would be a great calamity if thsy .wero--broken.-off-at.-this-junfitur-ep.-But- of human misery, of semi-starvation, that could not be exaggerated, and an even morev terrible feeling of hopelessness. If; ::A«ipr4ti4ujltol«''"were still ..to be allowed to drift,- these 300,000 un- ^mplo-kwd, m«'«'>»wpou'd receive an addition of as. many .more,__.; ,,.__. , —^ 'P.p.,, . < r A Striking Example Leading- up to his view of the only possible remedy, Mr. Hartshorn recalled how a great South Wales company had turned profitless pits into Successful ones Ijy adopting up- to-date methods. The most efficient British' mine- owners had brought down the price of coal in Europe, and today French miners were working under notices given by the owners on the ground that they could not compete with British prices. Ancient Methods Meanwhile, a large proportion of the collieries in Great Britain were working on the same methods as 100 years ago. So long as we had 3,000 privately- owned collieries in various stages of efficiency, each one being .compelled to stand on its own economic legs, and depending on the capital resources of a few individuals, and scrambling for trade in a world shortage "of orders, the most efficient -ones- would- getr the•'oraerr SHU "the others would go to the scrapheap.

City Engineer Brackenridge seems to be dear at any price. At least that is the impression one gets when they consider the high estimate he put in for the laying of the ten miles of water main. Contractors figures were around $228,539.00 while the city engineer figured it would cost $388,424.00, approximately $160,000 more. When questioned on his estimate he explained that another contractor had lost money on another section of pipe and he had estimated from that contractors figures. As a matter of fact City Engineer Brackenridge was apparently going to be quite safe in not getting in the way of the contractors who placed him in office.

The issues involved a much wider application? There is a comniop ffcar tha.t .the ..mineowners'- letter,:is- *nly:, tlie-beginning of a general attack! ""And while there is '-still sonie use in pointing out dangers ahead, the nation should be told plainly how and where we are drifting. If this struggle , starts, every trade in the country will be involved before many days are over. The workmen's view is that this is not a trade dispute; it is a national dispute. He feels that the issues upon which the miners are fighting—a living wage, reasonable hours of labour, and so on— are precisely those which sooner or later he will have to protect for him- self- .„ Responsibility of Government "It is here that the responsibility of the Government comes in with special force. I cannot imagine why, when they have seen these clouds gathering and rolling up, they have waited so long to put themselves in touch with the parties 'involved. "What chance is there of ah armistice and re-opening of negotiations when both sides have taken up positions? A wise general once said, "War does not begin when the first shot is fired,, but .when Jhft_flr.det_to._.,.. mobilise Has been issued.

A Mountain of Untold Wealth Right at Your Door NOT MANY people are aware that, less than 35 miles from Vancouver, and only 14 miles from Coquitlam, may be found the Pitt Mine, which, according to eminent engineers, will be one of the leading producers of Copper Ore on this western coast. Geographically the Pitt Mine Is favorably situated on the .southeast side of Pitt Lake, and is'reached by water from either-Coquitlam or New Westminster. Pitt Lake empties Into Pitt River, which' is a tributary of the Fraser. Here you have deep water available, which renders It possible for tugs, with scows, to take on cargoes of ore and deliver the same at either tho Tacoma smelter or any other coast smeltor plants for transportation through the .entire year. Why We Are Confident of Success ; ... , „ T 66k over the whole Held, where you will, A3 folks, consider what reports and figures you choose, as we have, and you cannot help but find Increasing ground for confidence In the tremendous opportunity confronting Pitt -Mine- shareholders. Before asking the, public for assistance In equipping this property with the necessary machinery, we have done all the preliminary work, such as proving up the ore bodies, building roads, erecting and re-i pairing buildings, etc. The money now required Is to purchase and install the' machinery, which will give additional value to the property and enable the company to start shipping ore an* concentrates. A Source of Great Wealth WE MAKE strong claims for the Pitt Mine. It's not hard to. And It can be done without wild or exaggerated statements.. It Is entirely out of the prospecting class, and, with the ore already blocked out sufficient to keep the plant running for over two years, and the immense ore showing la only a forerunner of what may bo expected as the property Is further developed, one must realise there Is a remarkable opportunity for wise Investment and large profit results. IN PLACING this offering before the public we feel satisfied there is no better opportunity for profitable investment than the purchasing of shares in the Pitt Mining Company, Limited. Due to the limited expenditure, and the small capitalization of this company, it is estimated, on the most conservative basis, that it will be possible to make very large returns to every stockholder for many years to come. The truth in advertising is very essential, and in support of our claims regarding this property we ask you to read carefully the report of the Minister of Mines for 1923, as follows: "After careful examination of the Pitt Mine Mineral Claims I formed the opinion that, after judging from the ore exposed in the underground workings, in conjunction with the promising possibilities, provided the development work is extended, the . advantageous location of the property as regards transportation to the coast smelters, opportunity for developing electric power generated by water, power, and the adequate supply of timber on the property for mining and other purposes, the property possesses very many attractive features, and is well worth such further development as will place it within the ranks of shipping mines." READ THESE EACIS ABOUTTHE HTT MINE ~ vl^A New Wagon Road has just been completed from the lake front to connect with the Main Camp. 2—A New Working Tunnel is now under way. This tunnel will tap the ore body at 240 feet below our No. 1 tunnel, and will give 485 feet of backing to present ore exposure. 3—New Camp Buildings are under construction, and it is the intention of the company to commence the erection of a Concentrating Mill without delay. 4—The property will be'in a position to start shipping within a" few months. 5—Sufficient ore has already been blocked out to operate the mill continuously for for two years.

PROTESTS The United Farmers of Canada, through the Canadian Council of Agriculture, presented to the government, and-1 need not read it' to them, a resolution asking that we cease this vote for cadet training in schools, that we cease cadet training in schools altogether, and substitute for it physical training that will have no connection with the military authorities at( ail. The Trades and Labor Congress and the Trades Councils have for a great many years past been opposed to war, and particularly to this form of putting into our children's minds false ideals. The Spirit of Youth - One could go on and on. There is no end to the material that is at hand. In fact, there is a whole literature today on this new school of thought that ia coming up as against the old ohe of militarism, the new school of thought that is determined that the resources of the mind and the flpirit will be given a chance to settle international discords. One might say from reading and talking to young people, after hearing' the many things that are being said by young people, that a new spirit is emerging, and that that spirit is the spirit of youth. That youth is asking of its elders that they be allowed to find a way'out, that they be allowed to think their way out unhampered by their elder's preconceived, and I might add, explqded_ideas>-_If-we this year fqr that same thing to the extent of $14,400,000. I am going to quote just two or three authorities. Viscount Grey says: War Never Solved Anything "The real victor in the Great War was war itself." Sir Ian Hamilton .said, speaking about war: "We must not listen too much to the men who made the-war, because they are bound to crack it up." . Well, they have to. What else could they do? If they do not crack it up they let themselves down, and that to them would be the worst thing that could happen. Sir Arthur Currie says: '• ■' "By the World War, we gained a truer appreciation and a better realization of war's unspeakable waste, its dreadful hardships, its cruel slaughter and its aftermath of loneliness, sorrow and broken hearts. We now know that as a means of solving the world's problems and removing international discord, war is a delusion and a lie." Put It in the School Books If it is a delusion and a lie, why do we not say so? Why do we not put that in the school books of this country? Why do we not burn the lies that today'pass as history, and put out books which tell the truth? Why do we not put in the- readers of our ceuntry ideals and heroes that will lead us out of the woods and. Mt-i'-Ask:-into--ihem--againr'T quote William Braidwood, D.C., Ph. C. Isabella J.

Miss MACPHAIL: I know that is not the idea of the people tvho erect them, but that is the result. I think that is so true that we do not need to argue about it at all. We will have to face it sometimes, and 1 might as well do ti now. The causes of, war aYe not the things we thought the/were. The causes of war are very sordid things. They are things that are so sordid that they must be covered, or there can be no wars fought. I might quote you authorities on that, but it is not necessary. You can pick up almost any of the new books that came orA about the end of the war, and flince, and you will find that fact uncovered by those who know best.

CHIROPRACTOR-SPING-GRAPHER Sey. 1607 Nights, Ssy. 31M 403 DOMINION BUIIDING now from Arnold Bennett, the emin ent English writer who says: Everybody knows that war is idiotic, futile, calamitous and settles nothing. And yet everybody says, 'There must always be war.' Why must there always be war? In past days people no dfiubt sajaZZBrides must always he wp'irOiiy knocking girls on the head and carryiflg^tiiiftnU' .off .s.ease-l»3^^^tt»tftT''Tiust always be obtained by torture. Christians must .always murder each other in the name of Christ. Little children must always work eighteen hours a day—because human nature will always be like that.' Well, they were wrong. Human nature did not continue to be like that. War Must Be Ridiculed "War is contrary to common sense, and it is therefore absolutely certain that the institution of war will one day be ridiculed and shrivelled out of existence. Human nature will change in its attitude to -war by casting out fear. War is not the product of courage; it is a product of fear. Hence the insane maxim that if you want peace you must prepare for war. jf you prepare for bankruptcy you will have bankruptcy; if you prepare for war you will have war; and equally if-you prepare for peace you will have peace." A b>oth,er of .Sir Philip Gibbs says that the one thing that we have never called out against war is the weapon of ridicule, and he goes on Mr. CANiVON: This is-no reflection on me,< I hope. Miss MACPHAIL: I had forgotten the presence of the hon. gentleman. And .when we consider the cost, which I am not going into, since it has been given, we find that it was enormous. There were twenty-three nations engaged in that war. It cost 337 billions of dollars and 13 millions of lives, and what is the result of that? We aire preparing again "War can be laughed, ridiculed, off the face of the earth." It is dangerous to pufSOWT things as that, into school books and lead little children, whd depend on us to tell them the truth, to believe that War is glorious when it is not. There are many things we could do to prepare for peace, and if national defence means to prepare ourselves for fleace, I am willing to vote for the fourteen millions of money, but if it is»^o prepare ourselves against peace, fourteen million dollars is altogether too much. There are many things we could do, there are things we could begin to do and keep on doing " consistently until we would through enlightenment, see there was another way, and that war must not occur again if future^ civilization is to exist. I move that this item be reduced by the sum of $399,999.

Queensland is the first country in the world to introduce this form of endowment, and it seems fit and proper that the measure should become law under a Labor Government. The payments for each child under the scheme will be paid to the mothers of the children. By this means a real living wage will find its way into the homes of the workers, adjusted to the needs of no less than 260,000 persons (parents and children.) One of the first effects of the new scheme will be a great stimulus to trade, for families will now real'y possess a decent purchasing power. Endowment schemes, in other countries, though widespread have no backing of the law, and are not associated with a legal minimum wage. By the action of the Queensland Labor Government, an Australian State- now" dove-tails a prevalent European .practice of family allowances into; an accepted pmst^^iiof -a■•_ m:fflfet!mL ^wsge;'-'*i*md'leads the waji^ua solving the wortd-wide problem of a Irving' wage according to • the need, This evolution" has become inevitable, and will spread to other Australian States or be made Federal law.

The short period he served as secretary in the Wilson cabinet showed up his weakness. Born in Illinois, he changed his place of abode almost as frequent as his palliatives, designed to cure our social ills and whilst he died in Tennessee his latest adopted state was Florida, where he had made a little money boosting real estate. However we suspect that national sentiment will tend to prove Comrade Stevenson correct in transposing the immortal:— "The good that men do lives after them, Whilst the evil is oft' buried with their bones." S. THE "GREAT" COMMONER Sometimes in the hour of death ridicule of an opponent gives place to reverence; staunchness of char- acter, sincerity of purpose, and immunity to graft and other forms of temptation to which politicians are exposed, these are eulogistically referred to, and a general tendency to excuse and tolerate that, which a Short time previously, would, have aroused open hostility and arrogant intolerance. This is considered charitable. But in being charitable to the dead we. -.^-4>e-honesirto"1heTfvTng7 The actions, statements, and public conduct of a man who is continuously in he limelight belong to the public.

But what abilities lie had he used to fullest advantage. A dogmatic, intolerant, plausible individual, who led the mob by driving it, played on the emotions of humanity as could no other actor of his time. A shrewdness in adopting popular nostrums, and a cleverness at t choosing his associates, combined with a ready flow of oratory made him a formidable opponent. His subjects were both reactionary and progressive but never radical. He has espoused (various movements from women suffrage and bimetalism to ' prohibition and fundamentalism. Notwithstanding his ability to popularise threadbare and outworn movements his success was mainly limited to the South where Crime and ignorance has for its antidote a hell-lire religion. Nationally, he was known as a champion of lost causes. He lost tliree times in presidential elections on behalf of the Democratic Party, and the few minor achievements credited to him have been stumbled on rather than the result of clear planning and thinking. Yet, his fighting abilities landed him the nomination three times and his influence for Or against other aspirants for office has been considerable. But at the convention of his party a year ago his oratorical powers in defense of the K. K. Klan was greeted .with hisses, and for the first time he was unable to sway the delegates with his emotionalism and demogoguery. He was a cunning and clever strategist and generally made no move without first knowing that a big proportion of the citizen- cry were'behind him. He never defended free speech or espoused any cause that was in any way radical, though he made a pretense at lighting the big interests. The question that hurled him into prominence in 1896 is now as dead as the dodo. During the Spanish-American War he raised a "regiment of which he was made colonel but saw. no active ser- | vice. But he opposed. America's im- " perialism.arising obi of the conflict. On the question of prohibition he at first argued it was a problem for ; . each of the. states to determine - as it saw tit, but when he'-saw it become a great national issue he mahoiivere.d . himself to..the head ot the puritanical processioh;':'Bryan annealed io the ignorant, the' fanatical religious, and the deluded, with the zeal.of a crusader.'But all he had to otter was oratory and rewards in an after life. HUMAN SOCIETY HAS EVOLVED TO ANOTHER PERIOD OF CHANGE _, - - Evolution has not only taken place in the animal kingdom but it has taken place in, plant life and human society as a whole. That human society is an organism which has during the centuries of the pist, evolved out of the most primitive conditions and that such evolution is still in process has, been recognized as a fact only during quite recent times. - It will not be necessary at the present time to follow out in detail the growth of human society through any of its, preceding forms. That which more vitally concerns us is the present or capitalist era. Suffice it to say that the present system'of property and wealth production.sprung from the loins of feudal society, its parent or predecessor. At the proper moment and due to economic development, it was ferojightJorth- audits roots" "ffrinly planted in the soil of private property in the means of production, land and tools. To study the development of the capitalist system no better field can be found than this Western1 continent more especially the United States. With next to no feudal bonds to break, and with a virgin continent possessed of unlimited resources at its disposal, this system has grown up i^pu«fe.>«lL-,tfee.=iBtBges', front totter-" ing infancy to -doddering senility, al most within the memory of men now living. Brief ly the various steps may be sketched as follows First, individual and usually small ownership of land; tools of production of a primitive character, chiefly hand tools and the process of production a somewhat slow and laborious one in consequence; land and tools used chiefly by the owner in person; exchange of surplus commodities usually confined within narrow limits, Under such circumstances it can be readily seen there was little or no exploitation of labor. The man who owned the land and tools used them himself and thus stood master of his products—the nearest approach to human freedom since the beginning of the historical period. Second, the tools having grown from hand tools into machines, the factory supplants the former domestic industry. The ownership of tools passes by easy stages from the individuals who formerly held them into the possession of an owning class, the members of which are thus step by step freed from the necessity of operating them, and depend upon the non-owners for that purpose, whom they hire for wages. Once the factory had made its appearance the real competitive era was inaugurated. Driven on by competition the master of factories turned heaven and earth to more highly perfect their instruments of production and extend their markets. The weaker succumbed in the struggle; the strong grew stronger. Individuals combined their capital into firms. Firms grew into corporations. As this concentration went on it became more and more hopeless for the individual wealth producer to attempt to stand up in competition against the masters of machinery. They were driven by scores to abandon their out-of-date tools and enter the factories, etc., for wages. As the weaker capitalists were forced into bankruptcy by their more powerful competitors they were forced to add their numbers1 to the wage-earning throng. Thus the wage, earners increased enormously "iii numbers^ while the number of owners decreased in.like ratio. During this, the-" "hey day" of- competition, the capitalists truly led.the "strenuous life."*'/:* ■.':....,...'..; • Third, the consolidation into one' corporation of the plants of hitherto competing concerns, thus mobilizing; sufficient economic power under one management to control the market. The Standard Oil is an instance of this form of consolidation. The inauguration of this so-called trust era had been attained in a given industry of sufficient magnitude to control the entire market of the United States in that line, the death knell of competition had been sounded in that particular industry, so far as the capitalists were concerned. As competition among, capitalists diminished, competition among workers became more intense. As the instruments of production became more highly perfected, and the method of their operation more economical through the concentration of capital in fewer hands, the number of workers required to keep the markets supplied was correspondingly diminished. The competition became ever more fierce among the workers for that employment upon which their very lives depend, until conditions have developed throughout this Western continent" bordering upon those of civil war, and these conditions are becoming more accentuated each day. — Today a mere handful of capitalists actually own the great dominant industries of all lands." By virtue of the enormous power placed in their hands by such ownership they dominate' and control, thus practically owning, those industries that are as yet in, a scattered or unorganized condition. This, handful of big capitalists are masters all else are slaves. This position they occupy and maintain because they hold the reins of government in their hands. By no other means could they maintain their mastery. They are granted the right to govern by the workers themselves, the enslaved victims of capitalist rapacity, out of whose servile carcasses is wrung the rich profit that alone jpyffgrds_..a_pleasing-incense'TlnT6" the nostrils of the modern god, Capital. At the present time however, the capitalist regime seems to be at a place where it can no longer function properly and some other form will have to take its place in the evolution of society. The capitalist system of property ands wealth production can no , longer/, m.t.is{-y tfre needs-«ef -mankind nor me!ej.„,the,«se» tptk^Btsata~,-ot:''iiumaW'"p^ngr'esa. In other words, the social organism cannot attain to further and higher development until the capitalist fetters upon the production and distribution of wealth be broken. This ntgans the freeing of labor from the yoke of wage servitude. To attain this implies the conquest of the public powers by the working class and the use of such powers to free that class from economic bondage to capital. —-W.

SHOULD REIMBURSE CITY FOR LOSS. With over one thousand bush fires sweeping the province there seems to be need for drastic legislation in connection with fire prevention. And when we say fire prevention we don't mean more publicity to prevent fires, but law enforcement to compel the logging companies to clean and burn up their slashings. The City of Vancouver has, in all probability lost its ¥13,000 worth of timber that it purchased in the Capilano Watershed because of the, fire that swept that locality in few weeks ago. The Capilano Timber Co. strewed the ground with kindling wood, waited for a hot sun to dry everything up and then set fire to the tinder with sparks from a donkey engine and away went the city's $13,- 000. The Labor Statesman has mentioned this particular spot several times as being a real fire menace, but the government batt failed to enforce the law in regard to slashings, hence the loss. We see no reason why the Capilano Timber Co. or the government should not be compelled to reimburse the city. There is negligence in both cases, one for not enforcing the law and the other for not obeying the law. If some worker breaks any laws he is thrown into jail, but these logging companies can break the laws with impunity, - cause considerable loss of .property and sometimes loss of life,, and no* action is taken against^hem. Its time the govern ment ws compelled to take action in this matter and we suggest, that our,Labor members siai-iUwm.a'd.iate action '-in having the government enforce the law regarding the cleaning up of slashings. * RICH AND PURE -MADE IN B.

OF MAIN AND KINGSWAY German Reactionaries Create Fake Scandal Much has been heard, about the affairs of the brothers Barmat in Germany and in the. scandals alleged to be connected with their financial operations in which members of the German Socialist Party were said to be involved. In' the Labour Magazine, however, Herr Edouard Bernstein, the veteran Democratic member of the German Parliament, says that facts have come' to light which show the "Barmat affair" rather as a juridical than as a financial scandal. "Behind the prosecution of the brothers Barmat there lurks beyond doubt, an intrigue of German reactionaries who succeeded in urging German juridical authorities to an action based on alleged rather than on proved misdeeds. "In the-law courts, as in the pub- lie schools and in the universities, the enemies of the Republican institutions and parties are ,in the majority. Hence it was possible to initiate the prosecution of thp Barmats and their alleged helpers on what was barely more than hearsay." No date, Herr Bernstein adds," has yet been fixed for the trial. - Herr Julius Barmat the head of the firm, is a Socialist, and helped to found the Rotterdam daily newspaper Voorwarts, OUR SPECIALS ARE MONEY-SAVERS Men's fine cambric hemstitched Handkerchiefs.

You ask: What kind of decoction is used to color" this drink. Now, in all fairness, as a fair paper, you will, we feel sure, publish this letter to prove that our firm is, not associated with the concern you mention,, j We.Aa-ve nothinjr'remotely to "do with it, and know nothing about it. ... Iri the first place, our pure orange crush is sold for only five cents—not ten cents. > Another thing—the product of our firm, The Orange Crush Bottling Company, Limited, can prove that nothing but pure oranges are used tb manufacture and color this fine beverage. Some time ago, the Lit- ertary Digest corrected an erroneous statement and pointed out that our company, known as" Ward's Orange Crush, was proven by analysis and laboratory research to be absolutely pure, composed of pure orange oil, pure orange juices, and flavored with pure granulated cane sugar. We- use a certified pure food coloring tint. We offer every proof you like, to bear out this statement, and do not wish to be confused with any other concern, against which criticism of your paper or the public is aimed.

What to think and how to go at it! I am assured with an almost convincing positiveness and assurance thut things are not as they were and that a drastic change is imminent. Of one thing I am certain and that is that I have heard that somewhere before. But they assure me that thing's are now really different. Maybe they are; If they are. I am in no way sorry and shall not.use much energy in disputation. Possibly I am getting older and my observation senses are not as keen as of yore. * * * Apparently on the surface the affairs of mankind are being conducted by the gods or are conducting themselves as we have noticed they moved before with a tendency to a slowly awakening consciousness to the fact that all things are not as' well as they might be. But what to do about it? - " '- . ... * * Governments rise and fall; power groups re-align themselves; much noise of reform and of interest in the dear people; tariffs, finance, immigration, emigration, taxes, social standing of smuggler and rum-runner; saviours and reformers emulating the star shell; soul salvors shout their warning at us; pessimists prophesy damnation.

A revolution led by socialists in an agrarian country, backward even from an agricultural point of view and the proclamation there of a communist state completed the jarring arid the recovery is not yet. The picture show or a 1914 model to re-organize, if not hunting a job or working twelve hours per day, holds the stage and testifies to poor visibility. * * * But small items may be found in the news of the day; Banks amalgamating; railroads to be consolidated; wheat pools; co-operation necessary in marketing fruit; Heathen natives defying France and Spain; Labour indigestion in China": Japanese and German competition; Industrialization of India; International combines; Exit Colonialism, advent of financial Imperialism. These seem to touch in spots and indistinctly to touch tilings that touch me. They touch gently at first" and then just a trifle harder. They are very persistent. Slowly I awake to the fact that my standard of living and even my job is a stake. But it is slow,- very slow, and I dose off again perhaps tomorrow will look better. * # * If anything the morrow looks worse for my news consists of more industrial stagnation and huge aerial navies. If not a mansion in the skies I may yet get a job up there albeit somewhat unsteady. With an occasional good war and a fairly regular sequence of fires, earthquakes and other desirable disasters I may plug along until I'm say sixty providing the fellows on the list ahead of me don't live too long, or too many don't climb over me. ?.;■,,-Uz CQAL TENDER; ;'•'.'■ ""Tenders wanted 2000. tons Vancouver Island Coal for-Vancouver School Board, quote prices as follows, delivered in Bunkers any School of Vancouver School Board:— Double Screened Lumo per ton:-',■ Slack, per ton:—r Tender to state B.T.Us of Coal quoted oh.

CHICAGO — A controversy for supremacy in the Workers' Party, the Communist organization in America, between W. Z. Foster, who, as president of the party, was~also its presidential candidate in the last . election, and Charles E. Ruthenberg, general secretary of the party, apparently has not been settled, notwithstanding a long "decision" by the Communist International. The "decision," published by the Daily Worker, the party organ, found the Foster and Ruthenberg factions both right and wrong on some questions. Foster, however, has with him a majority of the- Central Executive Committee. ONE-MAN CAR OPERATION In the "One-man Car Case" in 'the federal court at Dayton last week, the big thiijg was the quiet testimony of statisticians for the' street railway companies that "the total saving in wages" from installing the one-man cars in the place of the two-man cars was $332,336.12. We pause to remark that this saving went into the pockets of the private owners of the franchises. It meant $332,335.12 less in the pockets of workingmen, and $332,335.12 less spent across the counters of our Dayton retailers. —Miami Valley Socialist.
