ciety to its active and sustaining members

the sustaining members to meet the active
members socially and to promote sociability
among the active members themselves. The
first rehearsal night after the Verdi Re-
QUEEN concert is taken for the purpose,
thus affording good opportunity for an
exchange of views in regard to it. The
sight singing class will be held as usual
from to p. m, after which an informal
reception will follow. and musical pro-
gram will be rendered at o p. M, followed
by dancing from 10 to IL. Among the solo,

AN EXPERT ON RAILWAYS.
Prof. JOhnson's Testimony Before the
Ind Sfri ial Con, i.s

In his testimony before the industrial
commission yesterday, DR.. E. r. johnson,
professor of transportation and commerce
in the University of Pennsylvania stated
that his Investigations had convinced him
that the railway brotherhoods were very
helpful by promoting the social and ma
terial welfare of organized labor. By COM
ing into competition with relief depart
ments established by railway companies
they were beneficial to employees and bet
tered the service of the corporations. DR..
Johnson favored the cooperation of rail-
ways and traffic associations and advocated
legislation permitting pooling rnder GER
tain restrictions. Regarding taxation of
railways, he favored license tax on gross
receipts instead of the present general
propery tax.

II Is easy to lay too much stress upon

So far almost everything on this subject
that has emanated from that city has

thing about the news received by the
Canada papers is that 1t is colored to
suit the appetite Of the American news
paper for sensations. In Canada people
would prefer TO have the simple facts,
and they care very little for the guesses
Of writer's who have no special means OF

those which obtain In the boundary
dispute such blur might accomplish

sition Of the contendant Is so weakly
founded. and the ends for which he

absardity for the United States to re-

Canada has no valid claim to anv Of
