Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - April 8, 1929, Winnipeg, Manitoba Editorial Section pages 17 to 30 Freedom of Trade Liberty of religion Equality of civil rights Winnipeg monday april 8, ,12 the vote for the postal workers not profit it is regrettable Taftt the Dominion government did by its experience last year to the extent of declining to resubmit to parliament the vote for the Winnipeg postal strikers they found it advisable to withdraw. This matter not be considered without re opening the whole question of the Winnipeg strike of 1919. This is something a Liivi considerations of prudence and Public welfare should suggest alone for the Parsaso of time has not in the least led to any adjustment in fee Points of View of those who have disagreed As to the origins motives and purposes of the strike. Last year in a Brief but bitter debate a High followed the submission of the vote to the House Jar. Bennett said the stake Ivas in the minds of its promoters a consciously revolutionary movement intended to Surv no. Th0 intended to subvert the gov co eminent of the country and he cited the findings of the court in Winnipeg of support this View while or. Woodsworth took the line that it was a comparatively innocent development the Char Acter of which had Beem grossly misrepresented. This involved of course the necessity of representing the court cases which followed like strike As part of a policy of injustice. Or. Woods Ortli did not boggle at Innis requirement. He talked about dastardly conspiracies travesties of Justice farcical trials. This interchange of views illustrates what is bound to happen whenever the. Winnipeg strike of 1919 comes up for discussion All the u us Bitte Nesses revive. By an agreement entered into by consent the Issue is left alone pretty much in a Winnipeg on the principle of letting sleeping dogs lie but the Dominion government is prepared it seems to have the question stirred up anew and made the subject of discussions which Are bound to be violent in both the commons and the Senate. Because it is not possible 1" Deal with this business of paying Back Money to pres ent members of the Post office staff who went on strike in 1919 without bringing up the question of the merits of the great strike. The Justice of making these payments can Only be established if certain things Are first established that the a Winnipeg strike was in itself right that the postal workers did right in striking in sympathy with it that the Dominion government of that Day had no business to Issue an ultimatum that the workers must return to work or lose their jobs that the Dominion government did wrong in trying to Man the Post office and give the Public a service and that the men who took the strikers positions had no claims to consideration and should have been turned into the Street when after the strike the strikers returned and asked for their positions. 3ir. Heenan the minister of labor took All these positions flatfoot edly in 1926 when he made a recommendation to Veniot the Bost Naster general which was the immediate cause of or. A Eliot s efforts to induce the government and Par i Faient to make these Grants. It is not surprising however that the Dominion government does not relish being put in the position of appearing to confirm these conclusions and last session or. Arenio and or. Thorson made an attempt which will doubtless be repeated this year to make it appear that there is no connection Between the granting of this Money to the postal workers and the question of the merits of the action of the postal workers in leaving their employ ment and defying the state. They failed hopelessly because the connection is exp limit and undeniable. Or. Thorson argued that greater. For the three years net result was a Revenue increase rom to per capita a difference of ?3.80. Expenditures on Revenue account had increased Only irom to per capita in the same period. And a decrease in the deficits on the government railway and steam. Ships increase in current expenditures and this together with adjustment of interest left the net result a decrease in annual expenditure from per capita in 1926 to in 1928. The beneficial effect of debt re says the bulletin is Evi. Denied by the decreased expenditure of for debt charges in the year 1927-8 compared with the year previous. Expenditures on general government also showed a commendable decrease. Expenditures on military pensions increased about that on National defence another that on soldiers land settlement increased about while that of sol Diers civil re establishment remained about the same. Expenditures on Public works etc., in creased some on railways canals and highways and on agriculture mines and fisheries about immigration and colonization Cost increased some referring to the result of trading operations the Canadian National and the steamships it says re cent advices would Lead the Institute to believe that the year 1928-9 will show a much More favourable result for trading operations than did the year 1927-s." vhf n i m toe British nations it default premeditated new zealand recently obtained a loan in London at 16s.

Lively by the bulletin in Light some phraseology that May be Illuminat. Ing. It says from a purely Finau. Cial standpoint the Dominion across the Tasman sea has nothing much to boast of. Its total debt in 1927 was 19s. 5d. Per inhabitant Australia s state and Federal was 4s. So. On the Bare figures this country thus makes the better showing of the two. Moreover prime minister Youseph Ward of new Back in office after 16 years of partial eclipse has a scheme for raising abroad in seven or eight years about one seventh for railway construction and the rest for advances to settlers and the making of a needless and probably disastrous Lan.1 Boom.

This a supposed to be the signal for men to drive to their ots Ces in cars in order to keep off the streets and for. Housewives to do their shopping Over the phone.

One Man objects to hospitals or. Principle. Another is frankly in favor of cruelty to animals. A third feels that the red Cross is an evil influence. But the most selfish and stingy Man in the world objects to being bitten by mosquitoes. For his own peace of mind he will con tribute to the fund. When he learns the startling fact that one Over the Dominion government was under no obligation to take tie wintering female Mosquito lays 01 strikers Back but that having done so it should have put them Back in the positions they held when they vent on strike and at the same salary he intimated that the Post office sought out these workers because it required their services and took advantage of their to pay them minimum wages. This is a very inaccurate account of what happened. Within three months of the close of the strike a concerted Effort was begun by the strikers to sect the to lift the embargo and enable them to apply for employment on terms which governed entrants to the service. They appealed to every available Agency to intercede with the government to induce it to recede from its position that they could never re enter the service. Among others the a ree an average of million eggs each Spring he should simply Rush at the collectors to give them his Money. This huge productivity is not All potential biters. Only the female drinks human blood. This Means that the stinging output per Mosquito per Spring is Only million which however is bad enough. The thought of the billions upon trillions of mosquitoes that the pools of Winnipeg could contribute to the ruin of our summer life is enough to impress everyone with the importance of the coming tag t f Church and state in Malta 4. Move toward the settlement of the controversy Between the Curreli and the state in the British Crown Colony of Malta has been the Vatican. How the controversy through the proposed expulsion of a maltese Friar minor by his ecclesiastical Superior was narrated in this column last week. Ine Vatican was requested by the Mal Tese government through the pm ish. Foreign office to Send an Apos Tolic visitor to investigate the circumstances As they were concerned within the Church. The Pope has now acceded to that request and an Iio Stolic Delegate mgr. Paschal Robinson o.s.n., for some years apostolic visitor in Palestine is expected to arrive in Malta very shortly. Simon commission returning the Royal statutory commission will leave India on saturday when it will have completed taking Evi Dence on the working of the Constitution of India that it went to India under the chairmanship of sir John Simon to obtain. The com Mission now concludes its second visit to India having on this trip reached there on october 11, and been solely engaged since in visit ing All India and in Burma holding sessions. Sitting with it too Lias been the Central Indian committee appointed by the Central legislative Assembly. This committee will continue during the summer to Confer jointly with the Royal commission in England. The commission As sir John Simon frequently Points out is not appointed to Frame a Constitution for India. It is to re port upon the evidence it has taken concerning the working of thai present limited Constitution and to make recommendations if it wish As to Extension or curtailment. The interest in the commission s work Plo Rable. It Means it at the state Ory inquiry will not be Able to produce a report that will incur. Locate and fuse together the Best of British experience of self govern ment and the Best that modern politically minded indians could Lave contributed from their per Sonal touch with i Indian tradition and has a direct bearing on what May be the nature of the re port the commission will submit to he British parliament. That must affected too by the internal re lations of the commission As Well As by those external reactions experienced in India. The Solidarity of the commission s opinion is not now held to be such As will permit of that unanimity which will allow a single report. Official life in India always feasting on gossip under stands that the commission a sorely divided. This cannot be inferred from a statement issued at Allaha bad very recently by or. Vernon Hartshorn a labor member of the commission. What or. Hartshorn is reported As saying at Allahabad not Only suggests unanimity among the commissioners but it May be of interest to recall when the Simon reports comes before the British parliament. Or. Hartshorn said the labor party had insisted on certain conditions being fulfilled before it had released major Atlee and himself to join the commission those conditions were that indians presumably the Central Indian legislative committee should collaborate with them on terms and see every document and hear every witness tha commission saw and heard. Those conditions being fulfilled they were to watch the tory members of the commission and see India got a fair Deal to their Surprise the others not Only agreed to the conditions mentioned but they were prepared to go farther. When they to England after the first visit to India they told the British Public a reply to questions that there was non co operation in India but that they deserved co operation. They hoped to write a report that would be signed by All the members of the commission and would receive the assent of the Indian Central com. Mittee. And that the report would ultimately be accepted by the people of India. They intended to give India a fall trial. India would then realize that those who had co operated with them had done a real service to their the Distant anticipations of a rip abroad Are in our experience extremely agreeable.

The comprehensiveness of that evidence depends upon the general nature of the sittings conducted in India.

Does not of course mean much the Dominion Treasury but the Dominion government ought i with the idea that the simplest thing for it to do not to delude itself awl the one havin the least dangerous consequences is to pay the Money and Stop the clamor. The Dominion government cannot accede to this demand and pay Over the Money without thereby agreeing to the propositions with respect to the postal strike be Forth a and it cannot agree to these propositions without inking a which we should think it would be to to Reat advantage to avoid.

The chief Engineer evidence of the politically minded of the Alabama Power company has this to say in the electrical world thirty dairies served by our Rural lines have installed refrigerating machines that use on an average kilowatt hours per year. Be fore installing these machines each Dairy was using about 650 pounds of ice a Day at an average Cost of 40 cents per 100 pounds. Electrical refrigeration is not Only cheaper than when ice is used it yields a incomparably better product. Many dairies using ice have poor cold storage boxes acid rooms with Little or no insulation entailing great loss. Refrigeration machines arc giving evidence a Boycott against the commission was planned and to greater or less extent prevailed throughout the whole visit. Its perpetrators claim it was a Success others say it did not succeed. Though its effects differed at Dif Ferent places nowhere can it be thought to have been helpful to the commission.

Apt at once to kill or learn dooms and afterthoughts Ruffia ism and philanthropy. But a Good a gentle guest Happy his biographers assure us to Wash up the dishes or Dandle the baby As mildly amused to stalk a caper Calzie As to Butcher an emperor. The Quality of Lenin s revenge was impersonal. Confronted with the need of killing any particular person he showed reluctance even distress. But to blot out a million to proscribe entire classes to Light the flames of internecine War in every land with the inevitable destruction of the Well being of whole were Sublime abstractions. Lenin was the grand Depudia Tor. He repudiated everything. He repudiated god King country morals treaties debts rents in Terest the Laws and customs of centuries All contracts written or implied the whole As it human society. In server does not have to be a partisan of either co operation lists or non co operators to realize that de spite the two visits paid by the Simon commission to India a wide Gulf continues to Divide the two on the eve of the departure of the commission As on the Day it first set foot on Indian soil the More prominent politicians among indians with comparatively few exceptions maintained their attitude of aloofness and the com Mission had to do without their whether the Boycott was or was not a Success it had at least that one bad effect. This is admitted by the Delhi correspondent of the London times.

F the pupils of the province which makes me wonder whether they ave been trained for the Manitoba f a Quarter of a Century ago. Most f our Normal work on Reading tha most important subject in the Junior rades is quite out of touch with he needs of our new Canadian Hildren and unless i am Misin Ormed there is no provision for raining the Normal graduates in in most important task they will Lave to teaching of conversational English to icon English pupils. I find the teachers neat and at entire to the care of the Interior if the school rooms if we except he Library. They do not show any evidence of training in How to use a Library or to keep it in order. The majority of Normal graduates Are quite ignorant of the Venti action system of the school and Are not ashamed of their ignorance. There is an equally deplorable Lack ctr attention to the matter of Light adjustment and other health matters. I find map cases in most Rural schools High and inaccessible covered with dust and the teachers ignorant of their Content. The teachers Are deplorable negligent of the care of the Register. When we come to consider the attitude of the teachers outside the schoolroom we find a general Atti tude of indifference. Very few teachers worry very much about the condition of the school grounds or out buildings. As a Rule they do not interest themselves very greatly about the games and sports of the pupils. The teacher who shows any Conception of play As an educational actor or a moral Force is very rare. The teacher who interests herself very much in what the pupils do with their spare time after school or takes any interest in Community problems is rarer still. I find the average Normal graduate a slave to the text Book. Seems quite at sea attempting a Les son without a Book in her hand. In arithmetic her problems Are Book problems rather than problems Bur tested by the pupils experience and interests her history and geography Are Apt to be drearily Bookish. Few teachers come from Normal Vith any practical Conception of now methods of instruction should be adapted to individual differences. In particular they do not seem to grasp that a group of Chil Dren of a Given age will show Amaz ing inequalities in the Quantity and Quality of work they Are Able to do. To be brutally Frank the proper use of and Economy of time seems to be the greatest Lack of the nor Mal graduates. The lessons Are too Long in getting started and not brought quickly enough to a definite Point and the Point driven Home. They do not seem to be Able to change classes from one lesson to another nor to arrange a system of satisfactory class and seat work so that one will work with the other and the seat work receive just enough assistance and not too except for that the teachers training schools of this province Are not a Misnomer.
