Rédaction et administration: 9 et 11 rue Saint-Paul Ouest.LES ACCIDENTS DU TRAVAIL ‘INSTRUIRE ET AMELIORER” Téléphone: Main 1698 — Le numéro: CINQ SOUS PARTOUT IV.Quelques-uns des principes généraux d’une loi de compensation moderne.Il ni* suffit lins de critiquer ce qui est mauvais ou, tout au moins, to «|ni laisse à désirer.Certains de nos lecteurs, ouvriers et patrons, me l’ont fait savoir, depuis quelque temps déjà que j’ai commencé à publier une série tl’articles sur “la compensation dans les accidents du travail”.11 faudra proposer quelque eliose, disent-ils, pour remplacer la loi imparfaite (pie nous avons déjà.Voilà qui est juste.Je me rends à leurs désirs d’autant plus volontiers que j’en suis arrivé à cctt partie de mon travail.J’estquisserai, aujourd’hui, les grandes lignes d’un projet de loi (pie le travailleur et le patron auraient également intérêt à voir adopter.Voici : “j.—La reconnaissance des droits à une compensation, l’administration du fonds et le paiement des allocations seront confiés à une commission de cine/ membres.Le coût de l'administration de ce service sera payé éi même le fonds consolidé de la province.a—({) fous les ouvriers tombant sous la juridiction de l’Acte seront assurés sous un système d’assurance d’Etat obligatoire administré par cette Commission.b) Les contributions éi ce fonds d’assurance seront exclusivement supportées pur les patrons.A celte fin.ils seront divisés en groupes d’industries similaires, suivant les risques inhérents à chacun.—Tous les frais médicaux, chirurgicaux et d’hôpital (lieront être payés à même le fonds dans tous les cas d’accidents du travail et de maladies industrielles.¦1.—Le Bureau aura le pouvoir de décréter des règles et règle-nu lits pour la prévention des accidents et des comités de protection composés di patrons il d’ouvriers seront formés dans les manufactures et des postes de secours d’urgence seront installés.INDEMNITES EN CAS DE MOÛT 5.—Les indemnités suivantes seront payées en cas de mort causée par l’accident:— a) Les frais funéraires de la victime u’excéilant pas $125.00, b i Lorsque la veuve ou un mari invalide est le seul dépendant une allocation mensuelle de $10 la vie durant ; c) Lorsque les dépendants sont une veuve ou un mari invalide et un ou plusieurs enfants, une allocution mensuelle de $10, et une allocation mensuelle supplémentaire de $10 pour chaque enfant au-dessous de 16 ans.d) Lorsque les dépendants sont des enfants seulement, une allocution mensuelle de $15 pour chaque enfant au-dessous de 16 ans.Si la veuve se remarie, les allocations cessent mais alors elle a droit à une compensation globale cl définitive équivalant à deux ans de son allocation, mais même dans ce cas l'allocation continue l’hommes, et aujourd’hui plus que jamais.Les bons hommes soiit des facteurs précieux de tout pays, çt, equi|ne dit Spencer, e ’est l'honnêteté qui fait j les lions gpuvevneu'oiits.Ri lès gens sont honnêtes, ils auront un gouveriie-| ment .semblable, Un voto pour M.Ross sera donc un vote pour la protection, la prospérité et un meilleur gouvernement.Los ouvriers devraient se rappeler do cola quand Us Iront voter le G décembre prochain.M.W.IL Ross ost né à Montréal en 1803 et éduqué ù la “Montreal High School”, Pans sa jeunesse, 11 fut un athlète réputé, détonant plusieurs championnats canadiens.11 a toujours été un support de la M.A.A.A., dont il est membro il vie.11 est aussi président honoraire do la “Amateur Skating Association of Canada” et a toujours favorisé le sport honnête.Depuis plus do 50 ans M.Ross habite la division Saint-Antoine et a été intimement lié au progrès de son commerce.¦-:o :- m w-cop.Bes- $1,300, ans,' G Les délégués Arbognst et G.Duval sollicitent la coopération de tous en fa vein des cordonniers actuellement en grève.Le délégué Foster présenta un clialeu roux plaidoyer pour une plus étroite coopération entre les travailleurs.Il cite 10 cas do la maison Ames-Holdcn-McCr.adv, qui édifia son industrie grâce au travail des unions dont les membres achètent les produits libellés unionistes.Maintenant que sou commerce est établi, cette maison no veut plus reconnaître l’union, prétendant ne pas vouloir so soumettre aux dictées d'une organisation étrangère dont la tète est à Boston, oubliant que cette maison est elle-même dirigée par un étranger.M.Wright, du Canadian Municipal Journal, fil un appel en faveur de la construction du cottages, montrant qu’ici une très faiblo proportion des gens sout propriétaires do leur propre logis par comparaison avec d’autres villes d’On tarlo et des mitres provinces.11 montra l'inutilité des efforts tentés en vue d’y Intéresser les gouvernements fédéral, provincial et municipal ot insista pour que h - citoyens intéressés prennent leur propii cause en mains et voieut ti faire quelqin chose par eux-mêmes eu ce sens.11 Invba le Conseil à se faire représenter i uno réunion qui aura lieu ù ce su jet et au cours do laquelle plusieurs hommes d’expérience exposeront leurs vues autorisées.Lo délégué Buliay, nu nom des trn vaillciirs du vêtement, informe le Conseil que h ouvrière de cette industrie sont tous en grève comme protestation contre les manufacturiers qui veulent établir le trava à la pièce et augmenter les heures de travail.Il expliqua que la semaine de 44 heures était en force dans cette industrie depuis plusieurs années et que les ouvre < n’entendaient pas être privés de prérogatives pour lesquelles ils avaient longtemps combattu.Une injonction a été prise ccjniro les grévistes pour les empêcher d’exercer librement le “picketing” et une poursuit- .» 10,000 a été également intentée eoiitrt l’union sous prétexte (le dommages causés aux fabricants.Ces (y-rnlere veulent l’atelier buvççt, alors que les ou vriers exigténfi Vatidior fermé.C’est donc ,.i-, mite (\ mort qui est engagée et i! far.: vaincre ou se laisser subjuguer.Le délégué Laforec parla en anglais dans 1- même ordre d’idées, Le délégué l)lU|tS présenta ensuite son rapp.:: tpûtaqt (\u différend outre les nui-n.dc.s Charpentiers ef do.s Musiciens et des efforts faits pour lq régler.Il se plaignit amèrement du Conseil pour le vote dy censure à lui infligé ainsi qiiLpi délégué Griffard, â la dernier, reunion du Conseil, préU'-lelnut qu'on i'avait voté sans connaître les faits.Ke trouvant indisposé ce soir-là.il ne put assister à la réunion et il no voit pas de motif sérieux à eetto censure.Le délégué Foster, au nom du nouveau comité chargé de s’enquérir de la même affaire, présenta à eo *uj -t un rapport complet et bien élaboré, qui fut adopté.Lo Conseil décida après explications ,]c rescinder la motion de consulo priso contre les délégués Blais et Griffard et ordonna sa radiation des minutes.Lo delegué R.Lynch fut nommé pour représenter le Conseil des Métiers et du Travail sur lo comité dos citoyens s’occupant do la construction des habitations ouvrières.Southbrldgc, Mass.Tl fit du service dans l’armée américaine, puis revint au Canada honorablement licencié et muni d’un certifient de bonne conduite.Depuis son retour au pays natal, il participa activement au mouvement ouvrier, où il occupa successivement toutes les charges, depuis celle de gardien jusqu’il celle do président du Conseil des Métiers et du Travail de Montréal, poste qu’il occupe actuellement.Il est aussi membre de la Loge Ste-Mario des Wagonniers d’Amérique et président de la branche provinciale du Parti Ouvrier du Canada.M.Alfred Mathieu, est un studieux, un travailleur consiceueieux et un convaincu.11 est toujours sur la brèche, u’ayant nullement peur de se créer des animosités pour défendre ce qu’il considère ôtro juste et légitime.11 fut candidat aux dernières élections provinciales, dans la division Sainte-Marie, et no fut défait que par une majorité de 540 voix en favour de l’lion.M.Séguin, réduisant ainsi une majorité de 4,80(1 donnée à l’élu de cette division juin élections précédentes.11 prit, a la suite de l’élection de l’lion.Séguin, des poursuites eu annulation d’élection, procès qui eut un retentissement considérable et donna lieu ù des débats non encoro oubliés.M.Alfred Mathieu

d’une institution publique, elle en a seulement fait une institution semi-privée The Champion of Canadian Labour CANADIAN WORKERS-The issues to be decided on December 6th are so vital and they so seriously affect the future of Canadian Labour that it is imperative every worker in the country review the facts carefully and impartially before deciding which way to vote.It is obvious that Labour can have nothing to gain and everything to lose by putting Crerar or King in power,as their Free Trade fallaceis are not practicable and would surely result in the demoralization of industry from coast to coast.It is obvious that Labour has everything to gain and nothing to lose by returning ARTHUR MEIGHEN to power, as his reasonable Protective Tariff will stabilize industry and bring about a speedy return of prosperous times.It must be also obvious to every worker that in MEIGHEN Canadian Labour has a true friend and a real champion.He is the man who leads the Government which Has done more for Labour in the past three years than all previous Canadian Federal governments combined.Look for a moment at a few of the services MEIGHEN has rendered Labour, whose interests have been so jealously guarded by the Hon.G.D.Robertson, Labour’s representative in the Meighen Cabinet:— Invited and paid expenses of 55 Labour delegates to a conference to discuss closer co-operation between Government and Labour.Gave Labour representation on the War Trade Board and on the Canada Registration Board.Appointed 25 Labour men on various Boards and Commissions.Took a prominent Labour representative to the Peace Conference.1 his advisor assisted in formulating the Labour Magna Charta which is included in the Peace Treaty and gives to Labour a recognized status in 28 countries of the world.Put into effect the Employment Coordination Act, providing for a free public employment service, which has found work for over 800,000 men and women.Passed the Technical Education and Vocational Training Act to encourage workmen to improve their skill and earning powers; there are now 129 day and night schools in operation, with 1800 teachers and attended by over 60,000 men and women.Provided the necessaries of life for every willing worker who could not find employment, and assumed responsibility for 12,165 partially disabled and unemployed returned men.Instituted retiring allowances and pensions for aged and infirm Government employees.CANADIAN WORKERS.—Think carefully before you vote on December 6th.Surely, the Government which has recognised the importance of Labour as a factor in the development of the country and as a vita) force in the shaping of Canada’s destinies is the Government to maintain./J V .’ /.‘Y S-17 The National Liberal and Conservative Party Publicity Committee.Une loi ne vaut que dans la mesure où elle s’accorde avec le sentiment populaire.Le principe qu’elle tàcbo de mettre en oeuvre reste intangible, mais la loi elle-même, qui est un moyen de l’extérioriser, reste, quant ü son exécution, sujette à l’opinion du peuple.C’est le cas de la loi américaine de prohibition, dite loi Volstead: le principe de la prohibition est admis par la majorité du peuple américain, la loi qui l’applique est discutée par ceux-là mêmes qui appuient le principe.C’est le témoignage qu’en donne le grand apôtre de la prohibition Samuel Hopkins Adams, dans un article qu’a publiée le “Collier’s" du 10 juillet dernier.“C’est, dit M.Adams, par les indications superficielles, par les réactions journalières du peuple ù un nouveau statut, que les effets intimes d’utio mesure aussi révolutionnaire que l’est la prolii-liitoin peuvent être estimés au plus près.Ce-snnt ces indications quo j’ai tenté de noter dans mes rapports avec des gens de la ville et de la campagne, du Nord et du Sud, prohibit ionnistes ou antiprohibi-tionnistes.“L’élément le plus simple du problème, c’est le bar.“ Ia> bar est une chose tangible.Qu’il se cache derrière une fontaine à soda, ou une rangée de bouteilles de salsepareille, il doit être connu d’une clientèle de plusieurs centaines d’habitants pour pouvoir subsister.S’il est connu de ses habitués, il doit aussi l’être des autorités.11 ne peut réussir sans le consentement tacite et même sans l’aide véritable de la police.“A Chicago, dans un endroit très fréquenté de l’avenue Madison, un ami me dit qu’à portée de pierre il y n trois bars cachés et comme je lui demande ce que font les autorités, il me répond : —“La police ne s’en occupe pas et il n’y a pas assez d’officiers fédéraux pour faire face à la situation.” “Un des bars se trouve chez un mercier, un autre chez un barbier, le troisième dans un petit restaurant.’’ M.Adams ajoute: “11 y a des millions de nouveaux vio lateurs des lois dans le peuple depuis la mise en vigueur de la prohibition." 11 ne va pas jusqu’à en attribuer la faute à la loi Volstead elle-même, il s’en défend même, mais il demeure que son affirmation est vraie.En décrétant la prohibition, la loi Volstead a fait des millions de violateurs de tous ceux, — un tiers de la population, (lit M.Adams, —qui ne croient pas qu’une loi oblige en conscience simplement parce que d’autres hommes ont voulu que cette loi existât et qui prétendent mm sans raison que ce n’est pas par décret qu’on rend tout un peuple véritablement tempérant, que la i peur de la police et des tribunaux n’a 1 jamais produit de la vertu.'

was willing to accept nomination and it is that which will help him to win.The Ross family have always been an enriching influence in this ward.As property owners and men of high ideals in citizenship, many of the finest industries have heeon formed through their instrumentality, Mr.\V.G.Ross being a director of several of the largest companies in the ward such as for instance tin; General Electric, where hundreds of workers are happily employed and well treated.Mr.Ross was for some time witli many industries.Laterly in 1911 being chosen as President of tty Harbor Commissioners, a position which lie lias filled with credit to the Harbor and the country.During the war, Mr.Ross was busy with Naval matters, Relief funds, and his manifold duties brought him on the platform nightly and on duty all day long, contributing liis time and energy ami wealth to the cause lie lias always held so dear to his life.Special honor was conferred upon him by the Navy League of London, at the war’s end.Hundreds of working men and women will not forget Mr.Ross’s opcnliandcd generosity to the patriotic fund and to all funds where (lie helping of the needy ones was concerned.He has never been what politicians call a “Noisy” man.He keeps his own council, is a fluent speaker and drives home his points just as thoroughly ns he is successful in his business movements.He is a well known sportsman, enjoying his membership in the big athletic clubs and is known as a keen hunter, his French Canadian guides and helpers all looking forward to his visits in the woods.That lie is a follower of lion.Arthur Meighcn is not to bb wondered at, as he has been a life long conservative of the old school, with broad independent views.lie believes in protection of the kind that built up this country, and not any weak need business of meaningless “tariff for revenue”.His views have been frequently expressed in able speeches on the hustings, and from now until election day, it is his wisli that all voters in this largo Division would avail themsdves of the committee rooms for information on all the party questions, so that an intelligent vote tor prosperity and protection may be polled.The nation, Mr.Ross believes, needs men, at this time, more than ever before.Good men are the factors, and as Spencer said it is honesty that makes good government and if the people are honest they will have an honest government.That is his slogan, and that is the spirit of this election where votes for Mr.Ross menu better government, protection and prosperity.Workers are urged to remember this when marking their ballots on Doc.(i.Mr.W.G.Ross was bora in Montreal in 1SC3, and educated at the Montreal High School.In his earlier days lie was a noted athlete, holding the title of Canadian Champion in more than one lino of sport.He has always been a supporter and is a Life Member of tlie M.A.A.A., is Honorary President of the Amateur Skating Association of Canada, and always stood for clean, manly sport For over 50 years Mr.Ross has lived in St.Antoine Division and been closely identified with much of its commercial progress.-:o :- POOR BEARS A tourist travelling in the Rocky Mountains was introduced to an old hunter who claimed to havo killed no fewer than a hundred bears.“'Bill”, said the introducer, “this follow wants to hear some narror escapes you had from bears.” “Young man”, said Bill, “if lliar’s boon any narrer escapes, the bears had cm.” TREATMENT HELPED SOME “Let mo kiss thoso tears away”, he begged tenderly.She fell into his arms and lie was busy for tho next few minutes.And yet the tears flowed on.“Can nothing atop them?” he asked breathlessly.“No”, sho murmured, “it is hay fever, you know.But go on with the treatment.” REDUCTION OF ’ TRAMWAY FARES Boot and shoe workers on striko In big factories.—Injunctions against garment workers strikers, discussed.— Interesting matters.Incident to the general clamor for wage reductions, the Montreal Trades and Labor Council, in their regular meeting, Thursday night, heard a strong plea for tho reduction of the fares on the Montreal tramways.The hall was set rolling by a communication from the District Council of Root and Shoe Workers asking that steps be taken to bring about a reduction in the existing fares of the Montreal Tramways.Delegate McKcrchcr, of the Boot and Shoe Workers, claimed that it was most unfair to maintain the same tram fares now, when the employees were working under a 32 per cent reduction.Delegate Lemieux laid the blame on the Provincial Government for the high fares, now being paid in Montreal.Delegate Charruau urged that the workers tickets should be eight for a quarter, and usable between (the hours of G and 8 in the morning and 5 to 7 in the evening.Finally the whole matter was referred to the Executive.Another resolution from tho same Dis- ( trict Council was brought forward to the effect that as the International Union of Boot and Shoe Workers was now on strike, in the factories of Ames-Holdcn-McCready, Ltd., both in Montreal and St.Hyacinthe, that the sympathy and support of the Council be granted.The Council adopted the resolution and extended 1,-st wishes to the strikers.This firm, it was announced, has no longer the right to use the union label on their products.Delegates Arbogast and Geo.Duval j asked the co-operation of all workers with those of the shoe trade, now on! strike.Delegate J.T.Foster made a strong ! pica for hotter co-operation amongst | workers.He cited the case of the Amos-IIoldeu-MeCready !Oo.who had made I most of their success out of the working | classes, and by the use of the union j label and this meant Organized Labor, who bought union shoes.Typical of the ; class after having made their business strong, they now wish to turn down the ladder by which they rose to success, using as a smoke screen the claim that ' they are not going to be dictated to by foreign organizations, forgetting that ! their own company is under tlie supervision of a foreigner.Mr.Wright, of the Canadian Mumci-pal Journal, was allowed to speak and lit-made a strong plea for the building of homes, pointing out how small a per ! ccntnge of men owned their homes in | Montreal, when compared with cities and I towns of similar size in Ontario and other Provinces.Ho cited tho efforts being made to interest in home building, the Federal, Provincial and Municipal Authorities, but without result.He felt that it was now, up to the citizens themselves io put their shoulders to the wheel and see what could be done.He in vit oil the Trades Council to send delegates to attend a mo'ting whine this subject weald be discussed by several competent and experienced men.Delegate Buliay, on behalf of the Cloak and Skirt Workers, informed the Council that the workers in that industry were on a g.neral strike, because of the action of tin- mployers in changing to piece work and at tlie same time increasing the hours of working.He further explained that they had enjoyed the 41-hour week system for a number of years, and they did not intend to allow anyone to rob tin m of the rights for which they had fought hard.An injunction was being brought against them to prevent picket!big, and a law suit to the amount of $11'.olio was (involved against the union lor alleged damages done to employers.The manufacturers wanted an open shop and the workers wanted a closed shop, so the fight was on to the death.They must win or go down ingloriously.Delegate La force, of the same union, spoke similarly in French.Delegate Blais presented his report on the differences that had arisen between the Carpenters’ Union and tho (Musicians’ Union, and the efforts the committee had made to settle the difficulties.lie complained very bitterly against the vote of censure passed by the Council .against him and delegate Griffard, at the last meeting, claiming that tho vote taken was without the full knowledge of facts.As he was sick that night lie was unable to attend the meeting, and still that was no reason for the vote of censure.Delegate Foster, on behalf of tho new committee, presented a

minutes.-:o :- INEQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW ! When working people go on strike ] against a reduction of wages, injune- | tion judges quickly issue restraining j orders to prevent such working people j from making their strike effective, ' but when employers arbitrarily announce a reduction of wages or an increase of hours anil lock out all workers who refuse to accept the reduction or lo work tho increased hours, no injunction judge will issue any restraining order against tho employer.When a working man on strike urges other working mon to join with him in an effort to secure improved working conditions or to prevent a reduction of wages, injunction judges issue arbitrary restraining orders forbidding the striker from urging others to join with him, but when an employer urges working men to desert their brothers on strike, to quit tho union, and thus to help the employer in his fight against tho strikers, no injunction judge will interfere with the employer.During industrial controversies the injunction judge restrains all strikers nud their sympathizers or friends from exorcising tho constitutional rights of free speech and freo press, but tho sarno judge always refuses to issue injunctions of any kind against the employers under similar circumstances.In Southern and insular Italy 750 schools have been established by tlie Commissioner-Gteaeral of Emigration to teach the languages and customs of the country for which the emigrants express preference as locations.These schools havo been attended by 32,000 prospective emigrants, and since January 1, 1921, upward of 20,000 have received certificates of literacy in the languages of the countries of their choice.—Dairymen are on strike in Palcr-iiio, to increase the price of cow milk 20 per cent and to obliterate the maximum price of goat milk.The lacteal product of goats brings ordinarily 10 per cent more in the market than cow milk.Early in the month 02 dairymen were nrrested by tho government and all the milk and cheese which could be found was sequestered to supply hospitals in the oity.—No settlement has beon reached at tho Oantiere Nevalc, largest shipyard, where tho workmen aro still locked out.—No newspapers were issued for the first three days of Ooctober in Palmero on account of a strike of tho typesetters for increased wages.Tho strike continues.—J n Berlin, seventy-seven commodities, including clothing, shoes and coal, have increased in price upon an average of 18 points from September 3 to October 1, which indicates an increase in the cost of living since January 1, 1921, of 84 per cent.The reason ascribed to this is the depreciation of the value of the mark through international exchange in purchasing raw materials.—-A singular plan for the regulation of rentals by taxation is in vogue in Danzig.When one person occupies more than two rooms ia a dwelling he falls under the ban of the luxury tax, which is 310 marks a year for one unnecessary room; 900 marks for two; 1800 marks for three; 3000 marks for four; 5000 marks for five; and 2000 marks for every additional room over five.Twenty per cent is assessed against occupants of buildings completed before July 1, 1918.All raises in rents are taxed 10 per cent.Proceeds of this taxation are entirely invested in encouragement to house building, which must bo done under government supervision.Possession is given to workmen upon time payments.One and itwo-room dwellings are exempt from taxation provided they are occupied by three or six persons respectively.-:o :- THE TRADE UNION SLACKER Tho word “slacker” was one which received a considerable amount of prominence during the late war, but slackers did not disappear when tho war came to an end.The kind of slacker which the Labor movement is particularly interested in is the trade union slacker.He is the fellow who receives all the benefits accruing from trade unionism, lie receives higher wages, shorter hours, and better working conditions because of tho efforts put forth by the organization of which he is, or should be, a member.He is the man who, in some cases, refuses altogether to link himself up with the movement of Labor.In other cases, he is the one who, while uominallyc,a member of his organization, is still a slacker in that lie displays littlo or no interest, and in some cases refuses even to pay his share of the cost of operation.We do not know of any slacker who is more deserviug of tho name than tho trade union slacker.Unions that are fortunate enough to have the closed-shop as part of the conditions obtained through organization, do not find it so hard to keep the dues slacker up to date.In such a case BRAINS vs BRAWN SERIS $100.Invested Now — Will Bring a $100 First Mortgage, Two Year, Gold Bond, and $500 Common Stock, which should pay 20c/( within a year in a Company M AN AGED by MEN who have MADE MILLIONS for OTHERS and ONE UNIT in the “ I’ndorwriting Syndicate”, which should pay at least 750% in Cash and Stock.The Bonds are secured l>v a Sinking Fund, and are a FIRST MORTGAGE upon property appraised at millions.The stock should pay 20% within a Year.This series of advertising is being Printed in LABOR PAPERS ONLY, by a former Labor Editor —who believes in ‘‘Organized Dollars”, as wtlPas Organized Labor.Free—It doesn't cost anything to investigate—Free.NATIONAL-MUTUAL Without obligation on my part please send full information regarding the above offer.Nuiih* .AddresM THRIFT LEAGUE I.A.UAHDXKR, Treasurer.933 Marbridge Building 1328 BROADWAY New York City he pays his dues or doesn’t work,I whichever ho chooses, but in the j unions where a closed-shop has not' been obtained the dues dodger gets in! bis fine work, and here it is that those who are so lacking in sportsmanship | and honor that they do not intend to ' pay or bear their lair share of the burden, are harder to deal with.In such a case the burden of tho willing! workers is made that much harder and sometimes harder than the Labor! News thinks is necessary.Dues-paying members should not bo backward in lotting the slackers know their feelings in the matter, and it seems to ua that some effective, moral suasion along this lino would bring some results.Thoso who will not hold up their end should be given to understand that their action, or lack of action, meets with the displeasure of their associates.The honorable members of a trade union do not need to be chased for their dues.—Alberta L -bor News.Great Clearance Sale of 100,000 Good Story Books at iialf Price 6 Volumes of Splendid Stories for only $1.00 Stories of Love, Adventure, Mystery, Dramatic, Vital, Thrilling Stories as originally Issued l»y tlie celebrated "House of Cassell" in their famous "Story J eller,” a collection of Fascinating Fiction by World Famous Writers, which is now sold throughout Canada at doe.per volume The.se books were printed before the present high rust of paper and labor prevailed, and we are clearing them ut less than one-half present retail prices.While they last we will send 6 SJSviro mon 6x9,N- 04 SHORT ^complete r-v dM .00 post ü BOOKS IvUU PAGES « STORIES ^ NOVELETTES • °r JJJ> | paid Sample Book, 25c.; d lor 00c.,0 for $1.00, or 12 books, all different, for SIMM), postpaid to any address.Not more than 1*2 to a customer.With each order for Ü or more books we will send a 20e.copy of the CANADIAN HOME «lOl’KNAE I It ME.Canada’s leading Magazine for the Canadian Woman and her entire household.We know you will subscribe.Only $2.00 per year.Whether on o sliver screen or in plain print, no matter when, or in what form published, printed to-day or twenty years since, a good story is a good story, about as enjoyable a tiling as there is in the world—never out of dale and always a source of genuine pleasure.Many of the best short stories published appear in the collection we offer.“E\ KltSIlAKP," the Perfect Pencil.Its IK Inches of lead writes a quarter million perfect pointed words, und then replenished for 25c.Never requires sharpening.A thing of Inanity mnl of use forever.Our slumlord No.20 silver-plated “liversharp” with eraser am! clip mmplele, sent tor only *1.00.Other styles mol finishes up lo fcitl.OO.Complete list, with prices, sent on request.Semi Your Order To-da.v and make sure of getting your share of these ge-ii ii i ii o Stor.y Book Bargains.A \ crituhlc Library of Fascinating Fiction by world rainons writers lor $1.00.Don t overlook the "Kversliarp” for personal use or a** a Christmas Present to a friend.Catalog listing 1.000 Books free with your order.Nothing like Books lor Christmas Presents.Address, naming this paper, DIRECT SALES SERVICE (Book Department) TORONTO, Ont.% Children !

He answers the question: “By tliis time the courts would be so choked that either the trials would have to be indefinitely postponed or the whole machinery of the law devoted to handling the single type of lawbreaking.Consider the paralytic effect of 109,000 Volstead arrests in Greater New York.Yet if the law wore rigidly, impartially, and comprehensively enforced, that would be a ridiculously" moderate estimate.Months ago it was reckoned that jurymen would have to be drawn at the rate of IS,000 per day to keep up with the rate of arrests then being made.A simple mathematical calculation will show that with anything like a comprehensive enforcement, every qualified citizen of New York, not under arrest, would be required for jury duty, and the other activities of the metropolis would simply stop.This sounds absurd.I their I It is absurd.| “It is a very dangerous and wholly workers !
