subordinate itself to the internal political composition of the new Austria.\u201d The Chancellor is known to favor a restoration, but only when all domestic and foreign difficulties have been removed.One of the main obstacles at present is the hostility of Germany to such n move.Von Sehusclmigg\u2019s warning to pro-German organizations, coming a few days before the scheduled visit of Konstantin von Neurath, German Foreign Minister, was regarded as significant.The Chancellor insisted that all one-time anti-Government groups must enter the Patriotic Front, the sole Government party, and work with it to safeguard \u201cThe Austria of Dollfuss.\u201d Antutig, Manchoukuo, Feb.15.\u2014 Every available carpenter and lumberjack of this little border town on the main route between Japan and Manchuria was pressed into service today to hew coffins for eight hundred Chinese burned to death in a , _ .theatre fire,\tment I made in Quebec oi\\ A carelessly placed candle be.Saturday,\u201d said Hon.Oscar Drouin, hind a screen in the Manchu Wutai.-Minister of Lands and Forests in the playhouse, devoted to the old-style DuPlessls cabinet, when questioned Chinese drama, investigation dis- !,eiIe.today concerning rumors he closed, started the holocaust Sat Declares Report Of Split In Quebec Cabinet Is Fantastic Minister of Lands and Forests Denies He Has Split with Premier Duplessis Over Question of Patronage\u2014\u201cI Cannot Be Bothered with Such Rumours,\u201d Stated Hon.Oscar Drouin in Commenting on Reports that He Would * Resign \u2014 Opposition Leader Declares Open War on Government.SHARP CUT IN RECIPIENTS OF RELIEF NOTED Ottav reg dm ttawa, Feb.15.\u2014 Particulars gg ruing wages in the Cana-n raided the headquarters of what appeared to be a \u201cdeserters' bureau,\u201d !

sure the subsistence of capital.\u201d Mi.Beauregard dclared moderate ! tariffs were designed only to yield ; revenue for the national treasury, ! but high protection was aimed at encouraging local industry by preventing competition from foreign imports and was granted in the in-! terests of the worker.\u201cThere is no justification for high j protection other than providing em-! ployment,\u201d he said.\u201cIn some ! respects the textile Industry is j exotic in character.To take root ! and survive, it must compete with the countries from which it secures j almost all of its raw materials and : its machinery.Almost \u2022 the sole domestic factor, if not the only one, is labor.\u201d Following many years of high j protection, a certain number of ; textile corporations, in a period of j unemployment, had threatened \u201cto ! close their plants: and one actually shuts down a plant and issues a j statement to this effect: \u2018We shall j re-open when we can sell our goods.\u201d Was the industry compelled to I adopt this course by dire necessity, \u2018 asked Mr.Beauregard, or had it j simply forgotten the why and the ; whe-refor of its establishment and expansion in Canada?The indefinite character of the method by which he was paid his wages exasperated the worker.Some foremen had acknowledged their in-| ability to compute them.The con-! sequences were the employees sus-! pec ted error and fraud.I The employers constantly modernized their machinery and mechanized their plants, he said.This resulted in lower wages to a decreased staff.But output was increased, and the worker saw in this only the result of his own labors.Employer and employee cvere divided as to how this increase should be rewarded.\u201cin September, 1930, employers asked for an upward revision of the ! tariff and promised to take on more I hands.\u201d said Mr.Beauregard.\u201cHav-j ing obtained what they wanted, they | imported the equipment required for ! mechanization, and this during a time of depression.The foreign worker produced the machinery, and I the machinery of foreign labor in-| creased production and reduced ! Canadian labor.The employers had j not promised to increase production, | they had promised to increase labor, j This is the worker\u2019s grievance j against mechanization in a time of j depression.\u201d The workman, he contended, was : not hostile to capital, but believed ; himself entitled, just as much as j capita], to a return that would pro-| vide him wih a decent living and ! security for the future.! The statement that work in tex j tile factories was women\u2019s work was \u201cgrossly exaggerated,\u201d Mr.Beauregard declared.\u201cThere is too largo a proportion of women employed in ! tha.t industry.\u201d The state was the guardian of the ; labor union and the textile worker ; was unorganized and like the workman, the employer was solely dependent on himself and the state, his success resting on good mar.age,-mer.t and tariff protection.He expected much from legislation.\"Ho suggests it, promotes it, and occasionally condemns it,\u201d said Mr.Beauregard.\u201cThe closing of the plant at Sherbrooke is a vehement protest against the signing of a trade treaty.\u201cThe wage-earner elects a govern-! ment into power and waits.He does: not interfere unless he is suffering., The employer votes, but he does: not : wait.He harasses: a friendly government to obtain more; he harasses any administration he believes less sympathetic so a- not to lose the advantages already acquit- ; ed.\u201d High protection had given birth to the textile industry and made its fortune, which it was to share with the workman, he said.The employee, because of his individualism, had remained weak.Industry sought and appreciated those rural areas where there were : resem ir* of cheap labor, and many plants had thus moved into small towns and villages solely with the object of paying low wages.\u201cL:ght ht?, been shed on the col- i O'5»! finane-rd s\u2019ructure built up on ! :> comnsraHvely small investment, Washington, Feb.15.\u2014Followers ! of the U.S.Supreme Court reorganization battle saw today the start of a carefully timed administration for nation-wide support in ^ Attorney General Cummings\u2019 asser-| tion that the Roosevelt programme ! was moderate and constitutional.| ^ This strategy, similar to that of ithe opposition, would provide for ! expressions from public figures at ! definite intervals until public opin-;

establishment by the legislature of a minimum wage scale for these workers, and a collective convention between employers and employees.Work hours in the forests, the.Committee recommends, should not exceed ten hours per day between six a.m.and six p.m.unless exceptional conditions should call for overtime by drivers and dynamiters.Sunday work should also be prohibited, the Committee asserted, except when emergency called for) Sunday log-driving.The Committee recorded opposition to the employment of women in lumber camps and other forest activities.Study of the Compensation Act, with a view to its better application to forest workers, was another Committee recommendation.During the closing day\u2019s sitting, other committees made recommendations for protection and preservation of the forests.The Lands and Forest Department was asked to make inventories of all forest lands in Quebec to establish their contents, accessibility and possibilities.Companies should make inventories of their own land, it was urged.RENEW ATTEMPT TO TRACK DOWN KNIFE-SLAYER Three New Attacks on Women Stirred Further Alarm in Some Neighborhoods of Buffalo Today as Search for Murderer of Eighteen-Year-Old Girl Continued.Buffalo, N.Y., F'eb.15.\u2014An elev-an-man homicide squad was assigned exclusively to search for the knife-slayer of Mary Ellen Babcock, eighteen, today as three new attacks on women stirred further alarm in some neighborhoods.Police Commissioner James W.Higgins added six detectives to the original five-man squad and told them to \u201cstay on the case\u201d until it is solved.Meanwhile Assistant Detective Frank J.Leigh asked women lo report the license numbers of \u201ccurb cruisers\u201d\u2014male motorists who molest women pedestrians.\u201cGive us the number of any curb cruiser and we will pick him up with a radio car in five minutes,\u201d Leigh said.Two attacks yesterday and one today brought the total number of attempted assaults against women to eight since the body of Miss Babcock was found in a field Feb-ruaiy 6.Two men found Miss Margaret Galitzdorfer, twenty-three, sta Bering weakly after resisting an attempted assault.Her clothes voie torn.Miss Galitzdorfer told police she accepted a ride home from a restaurant early today wth a ma r she knew slightly.Two other new attacks were reported over the week-end.Police said they did not believe any were connected -with the slaying.Miss Annette Skolyn, twenty-one, told police two men pummeled her in front of her home after telling her to warn her sister, Virginia, to \u2018keep her mouth shut.\u201d Virginia Skolyn, twenty-nine, was found unconscious in a vacant lot early Saturday and told police she fainted when a tax driver threatened her with a knife and atte nnted to assault her.Miss Lillian Grytten, seventeen, said a prowler tried to seize her as she neared her home yesterday and ran when she resisted him.MONTREAL LIVE ST0Ü MARKET Montreal, Feb.15.\u2014Calves were steady to twenty-five cents higher in today\u2019s early livestock dealings, with other divisions unchanged.Receipts were: Cattle, 630;

of our prayers ascending to heaven.The altar or the rostrum of our religious institutions should demand greater obeisance from us than those of our secular organizations.We Protestants are too self-conscious, we are prone to associate clothes with our church and cannot attend unless we are all dressed up in our Sunday best.As a matter of fact, we feci uncomfortable if our condition is otherwise.Why?Why should not a man in plus fours or flannels feel it perfectly right to drop his clubs or racquets in the porch and attend service as he is?We do not want the pastor to call unless we are all decked up, the parlor dusted and so forth, and he, time his visits how he may, is likely to drop in at what wo consider inopportune and regard him a nuisance instead of meeting him as the friend ho really is.He can not emulate the Master in these modern times by preaching in the highways and byeways, the chances are he or some of his followers will get run over.Neither can he subsist on the charity of those followers, collect little outside its membership.Unfortunately the writer has been totally deaf for many years and is not in a position to offer himself as an example of how a good parishioner should behave.H.G.JAMES Friend: \u201cThey treat you like one of the family, I understand.\u201d New Maid: \u201cThat they do not; they are always polite to mei\u201d J \u201cSHOCK TROOP\u201d \u2014W.K.KELLOGG President, The Kellogg Company ALL-BRAN $ \u201cBecause of its flexibility and the ease with which its forces may be concentrated on any given community or section, newspaper advertising is the shock troop of our advertising program.% / Wmm A new day breaks, just as surely, for the person wbo has contracted with a life insurance company for an income to replace his earnings when they arc cut off by old age, disability, or death.Think of the mental comfort to be gained by making sure there cannot be such a thing for you as (1) a penniless old age, (2) no pay days if disabled, (3) your family without food and shelter should you die!

SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY ID, 1057.PAGE FIVE SHERBROOKE IS BLANKETED BY ' BIG SNOWFALL Heaviesi Snowfall Since December Offered Soluiion to Logging Operations in Eastern Townships Today \u2014 \u201cStormy Weather\u201d Forecast for Next Twenty-Four Hours.The heaviest snowfall since December blanketed this district today with the barometer forecasting \u201cstormy weather\u201d for the next twenty-four hours.The return\u2014perhaps it would be more appropriate to say the arrival \u2014of winter was received with mixed opinion.Lumbermen saw a solution to their logging difficulties, ice harvesters hoped to inaugurate belated operations and sportsmen generally welcomed the snowfall.On the other hand, railway officials feared a prolonged storm would disrupt their schedules, and motorists piloted their cars along slippery street and found country highways practically impassable.At eleven o\u2019clock this morning aproximateiy six inches of snow had fallen.The mercury hovered around the freezing mark.Officials at the Lennoxville Experimental Farm reported this the heaviest snowfall since December 2nd and 3rd when eight inches fell.Yesterday\u2019s temperature was maximum 43 and minimum 2S, and that on the same day last year was maximum 22 and minimum 5 below.At seven o\u2019clock this morning the thermometer registered twenty-six degrees.The barometer at the local tourist bureau predicted \u2018storiny weather\u201d for the next twenty-four hours.For many weeks Eastern Townships lumbermen have been waiting for a substantial snowfall.The lack of snow this winter caused many logging difficulties.A well known lumber operator, interviewed by a Record reporter this morning, explained that in many cases new roads have been built to haul out the cut.On cold nights these rough passages have been iced.Trucks have teen pressed into service.In this manner it has been possible to haul quite extensively during the past three weeks or so, and mills that had been idle for some time began opeiations, working full Mast to meet the unfilled orders.Farmers who lumber on a small scale, relying upon their cut to realize ready cash, were hard hit by the lack of snow and many have been unbale to bring their timber out of the wroods.Today\u2019s snowfall was particularly welcomed by these.It is estimated that in spite of the difficulties that have been encountered to drue, this season\u2019s cut in the Eastern Townships will be ahead of last year.A general improvement in the lumber industry is evident.The freak weather conditions that have prevailed this winter hit another industry\u2014the ice-harvesting firms.Although lakes have been solidly frozen since Decmber, this has not been true of rivers in this district.A local ice company reported today that the ice on the Magog river is ten to twelve inches thick at some places, but as thin as five and a half inches at others.No ice has yet been cut.Confidence was expressed.however, that a spell of colder weather would enable cutting operations to start within a few days.Streets were exceedingly slippery this morning and motorists experienced considerable trouble.A ten-ton autobus slid backwards into a hght standard at corner of King street west and Depot street at nine o\u2019clock.No one was hurt.The husband drew up a chair beside his wife\u2019s sewing machine the other day and remarked: \u201cDon\u2019t you thing it\u2019s running too SCOUT BANQUET WAS ADDRESSED »- CITY BRIEFLETS \u2022# ' Now is the time to get that prize during Kinkead\u2019s sale.FS1!/\tO\tGypsy Rover, Mitchell School, IS ï I i\\Ur\til I I !
