The Coal strike settlement Nova Scotia Coal strike has been settled after tying Coal production in that part of Canada for six months. The miners have us ment. There can sea offered terrific losses because of Lack of employ up its resources and have been Livin Empire scarcely be a mining family that has not used Many of them had no resources to begin state of Semi Charity. The British a a motion ill have lost heavily. No Plant can kept out of action for half a 3 j t to i without a heavy Drain of to the Long run somebody will have to has lost heavily As a result of the inns royalties in fact it. Has been province p Halifax that the finances of the province have its owners poc pay for this stoppage of announced to will have to be built up again been seriously unpaired Iney s lost the strike. There is nothing remarkable about to i a. In practically every Industrial fight. Under the agreement negotiated by Premier Rhodes the i a Manv Are to enter into an agreement for six miners and company Are to t Riv be is renouncing one fifth of its r la esp the Mars have voted to accept the government s Rolih arc the company has agreed to open the mines for a m n is period under the terms Laid Down. In the meantime mom rib i a thorough investigation of ova Scotia Coal situation and out of this invest Gatton ova hoped will come remedies making for something like permanency ago the Nova Scotia Industrial Field. 4n offer a Good Deal similar to this was made several months he the Armstrong government but was rejected by the Myers. To submit the Case to arbitration Tion of annexation to the United states or of otherwise breaking away from British connection have been Gross exaggerations and Fabri cations and that there is no sub Stantial body of Public opinion in favor of any other course for Canada than that which she is now follow ing As a member of the common wealth of British nations. In educational methods in the emphasis which has been placed upon individuality and in the readiness to try out new ideas Canada can per haps learn a Good Deal from great Britain but on the other hand our visitors will probably note the keen appreciation of the importance education in Canada the generous Public support in the past As shown by the character of school buildings throughout Toliese Western provinces the erection of schools in every Corner of the Prairie country to new settlers naturally come Iri largest number and the investigations and efforts to improve National system and adapt it More thoroughly to the needs of the popu Lialiou. If the British teachers take Back with them a clearer and More com plete knowledge of Canada the re sult should be beneficial for they Are in a particularly Good position for disseminating such information and helping to make Britain better acquainted with real Canada. The amazing or. Amery the Armstrong proposal was rho decision to be binding on both parties. Provision was also made for a commission to investigate the Coal and general inns trial situation. A the strike was bound to be settled sooner or later and con to feeble commendation will go to Premier Bhoodea and his government for bringing about even a temporary agreement. It is doubtful if a settlement could have been effected at an earlier Date As a Grest Industrial disruption once it has been allowed to Fiare up has to Burn itself out it would seem before the contend elements can be induced to listen to reason nevertheless it looks As if prime minister King and the department of labor at Ottawa and also Premier Armstrong and the former Nova Scotia government had missed a Chance by not thrown every Force and Means at their command into an Effort to Settle the Nova Scotia Coal strike Long before this late Date. The Opportunity to bring about a cessation of the fight might have been there several months ago if the matter had been approached in the right Way. As it has turned out the Coal Fields deadlock was largely responsible for sending the Nova Scotia liberals from Power and the settlement now announced enhances the Stock of the new conservative government which cannot be much Comfort to or. King who must go to the country at an Early Date. It will be interesting to see what comes out of the thorough investigation of Tho Nova Scotia Coal strike. Investigations of this nature usually produce a Fine set of remedies that nobody is milling to put into Force. It is not so difficult to ascertain what is the right thing to do As to convince people that it ought to be done. I a vicious consternation in West a lot of politicians have been raging about the times. But of course kind. The country is used to that by a. G. Gardiner in John Bull eighteen months ago the country Protection and out or. Baldwin out of office. Six months ago it took fright at labor and put him in again. Since then we have had dribbles of Protection doled lace on motor cars on silk and artificial silk with nibbles at tariffs of steel on superphosphate and so on. Now nothing is More Clear than that you cannot have a half and half system tags of Protection and tags of free Trade Strung together. The garment of Trade must be on one Prin Ciple or the other. You cannot tax Farmer s superphosphate without riving him a Cluid pro what he produces. It is to novy How these experiments. What Are the effects take silk ands artificial silk. It is notorious that the customs author ties Are at their wits end to produce a workable scheme. The complications of the business Are bewildering Cor silk and artificial milk enter into commodities even into Hempen rope arid the labor and Cost of getting at the amount of the tax a re inconceivable. But this in Only the let us see How it encumber Trade and increases unproductive e labor. The merchant in London imports a piece of. Silk from lyons1 or Zurich and pays the duty on it Sells part to a wholesaler duly stamping his proportion of the duty the. Whole Saler Sells to a retailer More stamp who exports it abroad. Now he has to recover the i duty. He goes to the wholesaler who passes him of to the merchant. Sales May cover months even years. It is easy to conceive the irritation the waste of time of labor of Money. That small1 aspect. Take another the taxes . Are already killing our re Export Trade. We have been the Clearing House for ther world. The buyer from everywhere comes Here to Market he can buy French goods. Austrian goods Here As cheaply As in. Paris Berlin Vienna. And it., saves him trouble to Market in one place. What is happening the silk the re Export Trade is already going. The Foreith buyer confronted with All of the formalities of rebates is to Lyons and Zurich for his goods. Australian buyers Are about to Stab some places while others were neglected. The Canadian Nat Oil attempted to Supply this defect but was thwarted by the and the result was that the Canadian Pacific railway gained Possession of new territory at the expense of its rival it is not surprising therefore that there is Little Confidence in the Senate s de sire for fair play and that its proposals Are regarded with suspicion. The chief obstacle to merger is pub Lic distrust and fear that in a conflict of wits. Between advocates of Public and private control the latter will prove the More cunning the object Ioli is not to the Canadian Pacific railway but to private monopoly of any kind. Politics a Reader s notes Are finer world within the world pigtails what a Delight Ful Short Story for. Children of All Ages Walter de la Mare contributes to the. in whimsy of imagination Barrie can not beat or. De la Mare. And the sales and re a period of Marly picking in politics Lish a French depot. Thle Means that the Trade that common cause essential even if its merits be apparent on the face of it. The decision of the Board As to within the next few weeks the the rate Structure however will be freight Battle will be on. Pur Suant to the request from the rail Way commission the various inter ests throughout the country Are Busy preparing their cases for submission to that body with which before them the commission will Endeavor to arrive at what the government has termed just what equalization will prove to be remains of course to be seen but it is at least open to question whether the word May not mean about As much As the word certainly it is open to a variety of interpretations. What the maritime far from providing the ultimate Solu Tion of Canada s railway problem which is Likely to occupy the fore front of the next political Campaign the British teachers the party of seventy British teachers who will arrive in Winni Peg this morning is one of three such parties which Are now touring can Ada under the auspices of that very commendable organization the Over seas education league. They in clude Many who Are engaged in secondary education. Because of what is a poor citizen to do or. Meighen says that the Liberal party is a fraud and the progressive party a joke. Or. King says the conserva Tive party is a menace and the progressive party an unfortunate error. Or. Forke says there May be if he could Only see it a Little Good in both the conservative and the lib eral parties but that the progressives Are the Only party the Intelli gent voters in the Prairies will sup port. The one thing each of the three gentlemen is certain about is. That politically the other Fellows Are washouts and this Means if you take them at their word that they Are All and no matter which of them you support you vote for a. Dud. What please is a poor citizen to do Well Here is the Point does it make any difference which of them you support what have they done for the or. Would you prefer to put it what have they done to the West to make a decision on those grounds a going to be an exceedingly hard task with August As hot As it is. Other ways May be taken. If you took em., by. Weight or. Meighen would be eliminated at the first trial. Or. Meighen has not much Avord pols below his neck tie whereas below their neckties both or. King and or. Forke would Pound for Pound run each other pretty close. Taking them by weight therefore would hardly do As after All a gentleman can get along very nicely in politics without an excess Load of beef he May of course do quite a bit of beefing but a cd t011 Mistbe r discrimination to Toronto 4_ _ scrim nation to Toronto what would suit Premier Oliver As being equitable equalized Struc Ture in British Columbia might cause violent contortions in the Winnipeg Board of Trade. One thing is quite certain that the crows nest rates except on Grain and tour Well in the discard All bodies 011 the Prairie who want to see this Section of the country obtain anything like a proportionate. By fair rate scale will have to sink own sectional interests to a degree and unite on a com Mon basis at least As far As main principles Are concerned. Alberta has retained counsel for Case and conferences Between the government and the various interests there seem to have evolved a basis which is on the whole Satis factory to All. The Manitoba government has asked the various in in great Britain and because of the unfortunate misunderstandings that seem to be constantly created there regarding conditions in this country there is scarcely any class of Brit shers which we would More gladly Welcome. The visiting teachers will receive interesting first impressions or the size of Canada the vast Dis Tances they will travel the varied characteristics of different sections and the distinctive Scenic attractions of the country. And among the things about which they will doubtless wish to inquire will be the possibilities of British emigration to Canada the actual sentiment Here in respect to inter Imperial affairs and educational conditions and pro Gress in this Dominion. There is every reason to Hope that they will obtain accurate and Exten Sive information regarding conditions in Canada. The people of this that is. Different. Well you might take the one who dressed Best. Do that and or. King becomes prime minister in perpetual and Gloria in. Sex cells until children now seven years it age Are eighty. Or. King would have too great an advantage in such test. His boots Are always in Good used to flow through London will cease to flow. The goods that Wera re exported abroad in British ships will go from Marseilles and Hamburg in foreign ships insurance will be lost As Well As the freight Rise Ful labor will be diminished. But More Customhouse clerks Wil be employed. That is How this Experiment is working out we should watch it for Protection can not Stop at the re Export Trade is too important an As set to be disregarded. That the Issue May be sprung on us any Day is Clear from a recent utterance of or. Amery at Edgbaston. Or Amery is one of the most con Vinced protectionists in the Cabinet and though Little known to the pub Lic one of the Moat Resolute fight ers for what he wants. He said when an election Cornea this coun try will have to decide whether to will go on treating ourselves a a Little Island off the shores of Europe or whether we Are to go ahead in dependent of our foreign competitors As a great free United Empire. Let us make ourselves. Independent of t in markets of foreign countries who do not want to let our goods in. And in dependent at Home of. The competing productions of other countries which Only come in to diminish the scope of our workmen and when an election if my information is Correct it will not be Long and Amery does not in tend it to be Long. This gives exceptional importance to what he says. It is a forecast of the Issue that we May have to decide before a year is ver. Let us look at it. Or. Amer wants the Empire to be a self contained eco nomic unit neither Selling to the foreigner nor receiving from him t having postulated an Empire Khlob la an economic wants of that unit this Independent of the competing productions of other countries., in this connection obviously including other parts of the self contained eco nomic unit for the manufacturer Here has no More advantage in being undersold by the. Australian than1 by the the two proposals Are irreconcilable. But assume that uhe basis with the Empire is absolute free Trade. Can sir. Amery Promise us that Australia and Canada will abolish their Tariff a against us we have nothing to offer to induce them to do so. For they have free Access to our markets now and protect their manufactures against us. Another Point. Can the Empire compensate Ufi for the. Loss of world last year it took. 37.8 Pel cent of our exports. Can it and will it take the 62.2 per cent.1 which it present goes to foreign countries As Well last year our exports of Coal exceeded in value the Empire took one fourth. Can it take Brothers As opposing candidates it is proverbial Thot politics makes politics also has the opposite effect and creates us Tittle differences for instance a unique situation has Arisen in the Federal constituency of South Huron. Where the. Liberals have nominated As their candidate Thomas Mcmillan of Hullett township while the progressives have chosen As their Standard bearer Robert Mcmillan of Seaforth the two men Are Broth ers they were probably brought up together in a Liberal family but they later came to see political mat ters in different ways with the result above indicated which has rarely if Ever been duplicated in Canada. Each is convinced that the policies and principles of his party Are the Best for the country and each. Is a vigorous advocate of those policies. The situation is More interesting from the Thomas Mcmillan the Liberal is a Farmer. He is said to. Be a scientific and successful Farmer. Brother. Robert the Progress the other hand in a towns Man having resided in. Seaforth for the past 20 years lie worked on a. Farm As and he once owned a farm but that was some time age. He however been connected with the . In one capacity or the last seven and he evidently has. The Confidence of the United Farmers and of progressives in the. Towns of the rid ing. His nomination is said to have come about through the withdrawal of William Black the present progressive when he failed to receive a unanimous nomination from the convention. A conservative candidate will doubtless also appear in South Hur on. Otherwise a straight combat Between the Mcmillan Brothers would have been intensely interesting action of Fred Johnston condemned a news report. In the Saskatoon Titar says of Tain Federal constituency recently assembled in annual Kay More greeted with approval a resolution., condemning the action i the sitting member 3.
