They all leaned their weight against the crowd but failed to hold and few minutes\u2019 respite.Then, just before the funeral procession arrived the situation was changed as with the magician\u2019s touch.A police officer in a car fitted with a loud speaker told the people the procession was not far distant and begged them to remember the nature of the occasion.The crowd responded to the appeal and the troops were able to relax for a few minutes respite.But so enormous was the crowd and so frequent the stops that the fuiH'i%l train did not leave Paddington station for Windsor until ]-:28, twenty-eight minutes late.The late Monarch\u2019s body was carried on a gun carriage over the four and a half miles from Westminster Hall to the station, followed by grieving hosts afoot and in carriages, headed by Britain\u2019s new King-Emperor, Edward Y1IT.Six kings, two queens, more than a score of princes and princesses from at home and abroad, and 166 other representatives of foreign nations participated in the procession.Scores of persons fainted as the procession moved along the route where long streamers of purple and black floated lazily from the standards which, on Jubilee Day last summer, had flaunted bright banners in honor of King George.While the men walked behind the Royal coffin, seven carriages transported Queen Mary and other women mourners.Four coachmen, dressed in red from head to foot, rode on each carriage.The heavily-veiled Queen Mary bore up bravely, but King Edward, pressing his lips into a grim line, seemed to have difficulty in restraining tears.The Monarch, nevertheless, raised his head and saluted smartly in naval fashion, palm inward, in memory of the nation\u2019s war dead with whom he served, as the procession passed the.cenotaph.Six bands and a contingent of one hundred kilted bagpipers marched file on file ahead of the funeral carriage In rotation, muted instruments and draped drums sounded the funeral march until the bagpipers' turn came to fill the stilled air with their mournful wail.Dozens of ambulances were busy with stretcher cases, coming to the aid of those who fainted in the great crush.Several women were injured and were removed to hospitals.Starting at 11:00 a.m,, (0: a.m., E.S.T.), five special trains left Pad dington station for Windsor, just west of London, carrying special mourners.Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of York and second in the line of succession to the Throne, rode in one of these trains.She walked down the Paddington platform and peeped inside the waiting funeral train before entering her own compartment.Three times the main procession was forced to halt near Stanhope Gate and Hyde Park to permit, ambulances to remove persons who had fainted.Several persons in the surging throng were injured by police horses.Finally, a narow lane was opened for the cortege and it arrived at the station where the body was placed upon the Royal train and started for Windsor.There, funeral services were called in the ancient St.George\u2019s chapel of Windsor Castle, with burial in the Royal tomb beneath the floor of the chapel.SOLEMN SCENES

CHURCH\u2019S PLEA ROYAL COMMISSION APPOINÏED TO PROBE CLOSING OF LOCAL PLANT Mr.justice W.F.A.Turgeon, of Saskatchewan Appeal Court, Empowered to Make Searching Investigation of Circumstances Under which Dominion Textile Company\u2019s Local Artificial Silk Plant Was Moved to Close Its Doers, Throwing Five Hundred People Cut of Work.Ottawa, Jan.28.\u2014A searching investigation of the circumstances under which the Dominion Textile Company\u2019s artificial silk plant at Sherbrooke was-moved to close its doors, throwing five hundred people out of work, has been ordered by 'the Dominion and Government.Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced last night that Justice W.F.A.Turgeon, of the Saskatchewan Appeal Court, had been appointed a Royal mission for that purpose.Investigating complaint from Sherbrooke, received more than a week ago, that the silk plant had made five hundred idle by suddenly closing its doors, the Government decided that before taking any action the whole matter of rayon and other textile industries should be investigated by Royal Commission to decide whether or not competition justified such action.Mr.Justice Turgeon was in Ottawa today and will take up his task at once, armed with terms of \u2022eference which empower him to examine all pertinent aspects of the industry, including costs, profits, wages, business and dividends.Newspaper reports of the shutdown in Sherbrooke stated that the action was due to the competition from Japanese imports which were priced lower than the production costs in Canada.The Order-in-Couneil, sponsored by Finance Minister Charles Dunning.expressed the opinion that industries owed it to their workers the general public concerned not to summarily close up .unless conditions made it absolutely necessary, particularly industries that had enjoyed the protection of the Com- custom tariff, This action by the Government recalls the campaign promises of Mr.Mackenzie King late in the last general election contest, to the effect that if certain industries which had threatened to close down under Liberal policies carried out.their threat while he was in office, he would have them investigated and possibly taken over by the Government.Following is the text of the Or-der-in-Council: \u201cThe committee of the Privy Council have had before them a report, dated January 24, 1936, from the Minister of Finance, stating as follows: \u201cOn the 18th instant the following telegram, dated at Sherbrooke, Quebec, January 18.\t1936, and Continued on Page 2.!

mourning sat Queen-mother Mary, Queen Maud, the Princess Royal and the Duchess of York.Then came the special diplomatic representatives sent by foreign states to the funeral.Among these, Baron Konstantin Von Neurath, the Reich Foreign Minister and Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet Foreign Commissar attracted most attention.Germany and the Soviet Union walked side by side in the funeral procession.They were followed by Hon.Vincent Massey, representing Canada and representatives of the Dominions and the High Commissioner for Ireland.Then came the second file of Royal carriages with the former Queen of Spain, the Duchesses of Gloucester and Kent, the Princess of Connaught, Princess Alice, Countess Athlone, the Infanta Beatrice of Spain, and ladies of the Royal Family and of the Royal Household.On foot came the gentlemen of the Royal Household and the members of the foreign delegations whose leaders were in the van of the procession.Here marched French Foreign Minister Pier re-Etienne Flandin, French Naval Minister Francois Pietri, Marshal Henri Peta.n, Viscount Gage and William Erskine.The civilian delegations were followed by the military detachments and the procession closed with a unit of the Royal Guards and police.B.C.S.DOWNED LOCAL ACADEMY IN EXHIBITION Continued From Page Six.and the game ended with the «core three to one for B.C.S.\u201cChic\u201d Carson handled the game in capable fashion.The teams lined up as follows: B.C.S.\tSt.\tPat\u2019s Juveniles Smith\tgoal\tBrooks Castonguay defence\tMurphy Lord\tdefence\tB.Seguin Clarke\tcentre\tVeilleux Lyman\t1.wing Conway Robinson\tr.wing\tL, Seguin B.C.S.subs: tVebster, Leslie, Kemp and Coldits.St.Pat\u2019s subs: Barlow, Gingues and Grigsby.a- his father.s- .The bodv entered the grave '\t/DU *\u2022*\u201c E.S.T.)\t!

Continued from Page 1.signed by Ant.Deslaurie-rs, City Clerk, on behalf of the City Council of the City of Sherbrooke, was received by the Right Hon.the Prime Minister, and the Hon.the Minister of Finance: \u201c \u2018Special emergency meeting City Council held today strongly ask that your Government intervene immediately over the situation that has developed whereby our largest flat silk industries employing ovqr a thousand hands has suddenly closed down leaving these people without employment.Out-city unable to cope with alarming situation and request your Government take immediate steps to remedy this condition.City cannot take care of such increased unemployment.\u2019 \u201cAlso on the same date representations appeared in the press to the effect that according to word received from Sherbrooke uncertainty in the textile market, due in large part to Japanese competition in certain artificial silks, had forced the Dominion Textile Company to close its rayon plant at Sher-brook, Quebes, and that the plant closed down would remain inactive until the present situation in the industry had been clarified.The Montreal Gazette of January 18.also contains the following relative to the foregoing representations: \u201c \u2018G.Blair Gordon, President of the Dominion Textiles, who is in the United States at present, last night confirmed the report in reply to a telegraph query.His message added \u201cHope to re-open when we can see possibility of manufacturing goods which can be sold.\u201d\u2019 \u201cUpon receipt of the telegrams from the City Council of Sherbrooke, an officer of the Department of Labor was immediately sent to Sherbrooke to report to the Government upon the existing conditions.The report received by the Government evidences the necessity, if the request of the City Council of Sherbrooke is to be met and the present situation in the industry clarified, for investigation much more searching and extensive than is possible at the present time cither by officials of any of the Government departments or by the Tariff Board, and that it can most effectively be made by the appointment of a Royal Commission, clothed with powers to make the inquiry as searching and extensive as may be necessary.\u201cThe Minister observes that the sudden cessation of operations in industrial -establishments, especially in the winter season, at a time of widespread uenmployment, cannot fail to render more acute the distress and suffering of wage earners and their dependents, and also places upon municipalities and Governments additional and unexpected financial burdens for relief.He is further of the opinion that industry generally and especially an industry which has had for years the benefit of the protection afforded by the customs tariff, should recognize its responsibility to carry on operations with due regard to its obligations to employees and to the public, and not to arbitrarily shut down its plants.\u201cThe Minister further observes that in order to determine the re-sponsibility of employers and to enable appropriate action to be taken, not only with regard to safeguarding the interests of employees and of the public, but also of the industry\u2019 itself, it is essential for the Government to he fully advised with respect to all matters surrounding the operations and conduct of the industries immediately concerned and inter-related and allied industries ; \u201cThat in this connection it is essential that full and complete information be available to the Government covering a period of years with respect to costs, profits, wages, salaries and' bonuses, tariff protection, investment, volume of production, and all other matters and things which together with information already available to the Government will enable, sound conclusions to be reached regarding the position of this and other branches of the textile industry in relation to British and foreign competition, and in particular, the extent to which the employment can reasonably and properly be expected to maintain emp-olyment over periods of temporary difficulty.\u201cThe Minister recommends that for the purpose, of making the said inquiry and examination, including the causes of the existing or any other such sudden cessation of industrial operations as may be referred to him, the Hon.W.F.A.Turgeon, of the Court of Appeal of Saskatchewan, be constituted a Royal Commissioner, under part one of the Inquiries Act, chapter 99 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927, for the purpose of making such inquiry and examination, and that such Commissioner have the special authority specified under part three of the said Act.\u201cThe Minister further recommends that the Commissioner be instructed to make his report as speedily as possible.\u201cThe committee concur in the foregoing recommendations ami submit the same for approval.\u201d DECLARES WHOLE TEXTILE INDUSTRY WELCOMES PROBE A TAX ON BACHELORS AND SPINSTERS IS SUGGESTED Sociologists Declares State Should Tax Them, as Well as Childless Married Couples, to Pay Cost of Old Age Assistance.Chicago, Jan.28.\u2014 Profeseor Frank G.Dickinson, sociologist, recommended today that taxes to meet United States old age pension costa be levied on bachelors, spinsters and childless married couples.Sociology, he said, recognizes that nu generation repays the cost of its rearing to the parents who labored, worried and economized, but that this debt is discharged as each generation rears another group of children.\u2019Those adults who furnish no offspring dodge, avoid and refuse payment for their own conception, birth and rearing,\u201d he said.\u201cIf they refuse voluntarily to pay their debt to society the state should tax them\u2019 to pay the cost of old age assistance.\u201cAdults without progeny should bear this burden! That is social security with social justice.\u201d Financial News NEW YORK QUOTATIONS The following quotations of today\u2019s priruB on the New York Stock Exchange are furnished by McManaroy & Walsh:

night but Fridays and Saturdays.The new by-law would give the merchants an addi-jlional hour on Monday, Tuesday.Wednesday and Thursday evenings.Aid.Sangster went on to explain that many of the smaller firms, who were now protesting, had remained j j open at nights with the knowledge they were violating the by-law.Aid.Blais wanted to please as many people ns possible, so he proposed that the new by-law be pub RED ROSE TP lBÆis éooc* ^ \u2014 and is its own best recommendation lished in its entirety in the newspapers.Then, be said, the merchants could get together, discuss it clause by clause and come before the Council with some definite proposal.Aid.Sangster was quite agreeable to this, but he was emphatic that, he did not intend wasting much more time.If the merchants could not decide what they wanted, then he was prepared to drop the -whole matter and to ask the Council to order the strict enforcement of the existing by-law.This would mean that all stores, -with the exception of nevstands and restaurants, would have to close at six o\u2019clock.There was little else of interest at last night\u2019s session.The Finance Committee recommended the renewal of the insurance policies on the Hamilton Shoe building in East.Sherbrooke and the municipal stables with Philippe Dion, and also that all past fire insurance premiums covering the Exhibition Grounds be paid by the city and deducted from future grants which the city might make, to the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association.The Police and Fire Committee reported that at the present time it could not recommend compulsory insurance for city taxis, but suggested that the Chief of Police be requested to notify all taxis that in case of an accident to public property or persons their permits would be suspended until the claim in question was fully settled.In making this recommendation Aid.Sangster, chairman of the Police Committee, said he thought compulsory insurance might be an inducement for insurance companies to increase their rates to an unusually high figure.The aldermen appeared quite satisfied with this recommendation and there was no discussion.Aid.Armitage, Finance Chairman, announced that a committee comprising the Mayor, himself and City Treasurer Prefontaine had been named by the Finance Committee to act with the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association regarding the administration of the finances of the latter organization.On the request of Aid.Genest the name of Aid.Thibault was added to the committee, as it was deemed advisable to have three members of the City Council, with the Treasurer acting as controller.Aid.Thibault gave notice of motion that at the next meeting he would introduce a by-law altering present rates for power supplied to rural consumers.The purpose of this by-law, it is understood, is to impose an additional twenty-five cents to cover the cost of meter reading.Last night's session was quite a lengthy one as considerable time was taken up with the discussion of the store closing by-law.All the aldermen, with the exception of Aid.Vincent, were present.The meeting ha \" emnly wended its way through the streets of the Empire\u2019s capital.Later in the morning hundreds of citizens wended their way to the churches, where special service ware held in both Catholic and_Prote?tant At nine o\u2019clock the stillness of the quiet morning was broken only by the tolling of the bells on all Catholic Churches of the city.Solemnly did the bells ring out a dirge.Reverently did they bespeak a people\u2019s lamentation.Later in the morning an impressive memorial service was held in St.Peter\u2019s Church, where hundreds again bowed their heads in prayer as they opened their hearts to the King of Kings in gratitude for all that the life of King George had meant to his people.Again did people thank God for the blessings of a great Sovereign.Again did they implore Divine guidance and protection for the youthful Monarch who is to carry on the work of his illustrious father.This evening in St.Andrew's Presbyterian Church sorrowful citizens will be given a further opportunity of honoring the memory of George V, when another memorial service will be held.Sherbrooke today was thousands of miles distant from London, but in thought and common sorrow this fair city was drawn close to the heart of the Empire.So was every city, town and hamlet throughout the Empire.Distance could not keep the British family of nations apart.In spirit and thought the Empire was as one great family.Men, women and children, rich and poor alike, all races, classes and creeds, pictured in their own minds the solemn scenes which were being enacted.Since the King\u2019s death on Monday evening last Canadians have closely-followed the last sad tributes which have been paid to him.They have visualized the intimate family scenes in Sandringham House as the beloved Queen Mother and members of the Royal Family as-sembled about the death bed of a ' revered father who was taking his leave.They have likewise pictured the quiet scenes within Sandringham parish church where the body was takeft to rest for a few hours in the little country church where in life lie worshipped with a devotion as humble as the lowliest- of any of his subjects.Then they have seen the King take his last leave of Sandringham, where he spent so many happy, care-free days as a \u201ccountry squire.\u201d They have also pictured scenes within historic Westminster Hall where, surrounded with all the pomp and majesty of his exalted office, the body lay in state as thousands upon thousands of sorrowing subjects passed the Royal bier to glance for the last time upon the familiar features of one who was so dearly beloved and respected by his subjects and by the world at large.And today they followed the last, sad parting.The hearts of all loyal spending the week-end with her mother, Mrs.A.Mersereau, Lincoln avenue.* * * Miss Betty Havard is returning to

given by Members of Women\u2019s Association.The \u201cPioneer\u201d supper given by the Women\u2019s Association in the Trinity United Church tea room last evening proved a unique and delight ful affair.The picturesque, old-fashioned costumes worn by the guests of honor and the beautifully decorated tables lent a charm to the gathering reminiscent of pioneer days in this city when the Methodist congregation worshipped in the old church situated where St.Patrick\u2019s Church today stands.Mrs.W.S.Lennon, Mrs.B.C.Howard and Mrs.Gertrude B.Hail received the guests to the successful party.Miss Kate Sangster was in charge of the tickets and C.E.Soles acted as treasurer.The delectable supper was convened by Mrs, Max Long, assisted by Mrs.R, E.Richardson, Mrs.E.D Bradley and Mrs.E.A.Tomkins, while Mrs.Wesley McKee acted as cenvener of the \u201cPioneer\u201d committee which included Mrs.C.B.Howard, Mrs.A, F.Mabbett and Miss Kate Sangster.Mrs.W.L.Reford Stewart was in charge of the Junior Group responsible for setting the tables and the decorations were under the supervision of Mrs.C.B Howard.Seldom have supper tables looked more attractive, beautiful family heirlooms of silver and brass candelabra candlesticks and exquisite crystal being loaned by their proud owners for this special occasion.All the elaborate arrangements were successfully carried out, even to the minutest detail, under the general supervision of Mrs.Miller Hall, the newly-elected president of the Association, and her band of capable workers.The bevy of young girls of the congregation w-ho so efficiently acted as waitresses also contributed their share towards the outstanding success of the \u201cPioneer\u201d supper party.Dr.W.S.Lennon, who acted as chairman, and Mrs.Lennon sat with the following ''Pioneers\u201d or their descendants at the head table: Mr.and Mrs.George Armitage, Mr.and Mrs.E.S.Stevens, Mr.and Mrs.A.G.Campbell, Mr.and Mrs.Wesley McKee, Mrs.A,
