years.It stood, he declared, for the uplifting of mankind.The convention went on record during the session as jn favor of proportional representation and of continued government control and operation

on the canal work, were read agsin, and Mr.Bruce.read a telegram from a business agent on the job in reply.This message said ail employess had heen cut 10 percerit\u2019 on\u2019 seétlon thrée; that the machinists\u2019 rate now was $5 cents; carpenters had been forced to work last Sunday on straight tithes; laborers received 80 cents per hour on section \u2018one: a sub-oontrac- tor on section three was working his staff twelve hours and paying lahorera 25 cents.; The attitude of Congress towards the establishment of councils of industry was expressed in the endorsa.tion of à letter from President Moore to the Department of Labor containing the following sentence: Organ- .ised labor is opposed to the formation of any council which will op- poss or even ignore the existence of labor organisations and their elected reprenentatives.The bellef Was ez- pressed that employers wyre inclined to uss such councils for their own purposes and that the workers suffered unless the councile

Justice, in the matter of what was called peaceful picketing.A memorandum credited to Mr.Doherty declared that all experience and evidence went to show that \u201cwatching and besetting for the purpose of peaceful picketing is really a contradiction in terms.\u201d Picketing, however, conducted must savor of compulsion, said the memorandum, \u201cand action which will Jegalise or sanction, under the guise of description of \u2018peace- tul picketing,\u2019 a practice which has come to mean seeking to compel a man by terrorism to abstain from doing that which he has a legal right to do, could not be advised.\u201d \u201cPeaceful picketing is legal In England directly and solely as the result of the political influence of organised Jaber,\u201d commented J.W.Wilkinson, Edmonton, in moving the protest, \u2018and until the seme condition le brought about in thie country labor will have to put up with this sort of thing.\" In a brief evening session, the convention disposed of considerable business without much argument.Beveral delegates denid the suggestion of President Mosher of the Brotherhood of Railroad Employees, that the adverse vote against his organization had been influenced by the United MBtates headquarters of International organisations The Congress approved its continued affiliation with the International Federation.of Trades Unions; gave its

Letter Dublin, Aug.35.\u2014Thé Dail Birean \u201ccabinet\u201d has replisd te the letter which Premier Lloyd George sent to Eamon de Valera, the Irieh Republican leader, on August 13.It was in this letter that the British Prime Minister informed Mr.De Valera hat there could be no compromise on the question of the right of Ireland to secede and also attempted to make clear the cendi- tions of the proposed peace pettile- ment.While the text of the Republiean letter will not be published until an agresd joint communique is lssued, it is understood that it makes no Lioyd George's 2.| mention of a Republic, but enundi- ates the principle of independence and expresses aversion to & resumption of warfare.Thus, it és considered there still is & wide opening for & continuation of the peace negotiations, a fact which has caus- od widespread satisfaction and & general feeling of optimism.At a public meeting of the Dail Bireann to-morrow Mr.De Valera will explain the motives which led the deputies to take the decision they have.Publication of the joint communique both at London and Dublin is «also looked for to-morrow.To-night's fesue of the Triah Bulletin, official Dall Eireann organ going into a detailed discussion of what it says the Government has denied Ireland, declares Mr.Lloyd George's \u201cofter\u201d does not actually propose what it professes to propose; what # does actually propose is something no nation could adopt without dis- henor.\u201d Comparing the offer of the British Prime Minister with the form of governments granted ta Canada and South Africa, the Bulletin asserts that these Dominions aré allowed to compose their demestic dit- feronass Withaut interference fem atntaide; and -coociptent- - _ \u201cThere could be free negotiations tu many matters in the Premier's iz conditions and amicable arrange- nents arrived at to the common in.tarests of both countries.But the basis must be one of freedom.\u2019 \u2018These words are taken as inditat- ing the intention of leaving room for detailed negotiations on almost every point of the peace pronosals.Viscount Fitzsalan.Lord Lieutenant and Governor-General of Ireland was summoned te London tonight

that both will be read to the session of the Irish Republican \u201cParliament\u201d in Dublin to-morrnw and meantime both sides have agreed to obeerve strict secrecy.The British Cabinet aproved Mr.Lloyd George's response, it le learn- od, and ft ls understood that the negotiations will continue.\u2014 PURGHASE PAIGE OF TORONTO AY.City Will Pay Million To Company And $500,000.In Court

Islands, touching at Tadousac.Godbout, ete.on the North dhore; Considering that the projeet in question would be a very practical experiment of winter navigation, so much desired and needed in the Lower St.Lawrence, and moreover would be in the interest of the important establishments of the North Shore which could thus rely twice js month on & regular mail service, and on easy and efficient communications: Having moreover.the utmost confidence in the experience and ability of Capt.Bernier.without doubt one of our ablest seamen.whe would be in charge of the steamer to be used for that

during the winter, said: \u201cThe big manufactur fing interests along the North Bhore are badly handicapped in their operations by the length of time they are cut off from all communi- vation during the winter months.During this period they have to depend upon dog (rain servics, which is not only slow but has outgrown the demand.a situation that a winter ateamship service would remedy.The Quebec North Shore Service Reg'd.has placed their proposition before the Government and sent in tenders to the Postmaster-General for the carrying of wails to all points along the North Shore in the lower St.Lawrence from Murray May to Clark City.à distance of 260 niles.\u201d The Quebec North Shore Service Reg'd.have in mind the sequisition of the steamer Champlain or à sim- iar ice-breaker for the service.The intermediate ports Lo be called at will be, starting from Murray Bay: Tadousac, Cilbault, Shelter Bay, Pointe des Monts, Franklyn River, the Brown Corporation interests at Trinity Bay,
