SENATOR PLUME says he supports all
measures for shortening the hours of labor
of government employees, but that he does
so with some misgiving In view OF the
fact that majority of the people of his
state are farmers who are Obliged to labor
twelve hours day or more to make q de-
cent living. That class of laborers should
certainly have some consideration, but
the current schemes of labor reform ignore
them altogether. Unfortunately they can
not strike, aud so are unable to compel
that measure OF attention which they Just
~ and fairly deserve. Their turn may
come some time, as Mr.. Plumb suggests,
but at present they do not seem to be In
favor with the philanthropists who are en-
gagged In the business of amelIorsting the

THE starvation and suffering in Labra-
dor is said to be growing worse day by
day. A White Bay dispatch states, what
whalers report, that Hudson bay strait is
again frozen over, which is an unpreced-
ented occurrence at this season. The re-
port that the temperature Is degree be-
low zero is, however, denied. 1t has NOT
gone lower than 10 degrees above. The
cold results from immense masses of Arctic
ice along the coast, and it does not extend
beyond 200 miles from the sea. Up to
date the number that have died is esti.
mated at $500. Since Saturday an east
wind has blown of the banks, increasing
the f1rmness of the coast ice.
