Rave the next meeting of that organiza-

part OF january, at San Francisco No
objections were raised at that tine on
this selection, but in the last few
months there has been a lot of schem-

league leaders TO have the place of the
meeting changed. This is one of the
things apt 10 be taken up at the COM
Ing special meeting of the National As

However. the constitution Of the Ma

National Board of Arbitration has the
power TO make such proposed amend

be taken at the coming meeting which
would be antagOnistic to the class or

Immigration to Canada.

New England is likely to contribute
this year more freely than ever before
to the stream of immigration pouring
into the Canadian northwest. For some
years, says the Boston Transcript, the
western farmers have gone north and
exchanged their improved farms for .
prairie holding, but the easterner this
spring has caught the infection, and no.
week passes but several families from
Boston and its neighborhood apply for
the certificates of the Canadian govern
ment that entities them to transporta-
ton to the northwest at greatly reduced
rates. 1t would, however, be mistake
to consider them Americans in the full
sense Of the term Many of them hail
from Canada or England and have come
to the United States with no particular
success. To them Canada is not for.

If change there be, comes more natural
ly than to an American of several ger.
