Labor Difference Small

'The tables show. however. that the Canadian labor cost per ton Of news print paper Is only slightly lower on the aver age That 4.5 per cent of the tonnage re- ported in the United States carries a man ufacturing labor cost of less than s3 per ton, while SAT per cent in Canada falls under S. The total average for the United States is s3.27, as against s3.19 in Canada, notwithstanding Canada's ad- vantage in average equipment This indi- oates that there is gerater efficiency and experience in the first class mills of the United States
 with the exception of the machine tenders the labor employed in Canada mills is French Canadian. The mass of French Canadians have been workers on the farm and in the forests and almost entirely out of touch with industrial life In shops. mills and factories"
 Regarding American labor the report says
 'The wages in the groups of occupa- ton in which the proportion of skilled employees is large-as for example, occu- pations in news print paper mills are shown to be higher in Canada than in the Lake states, while the contrary Is true of the wages in the groups of occu- pations in which most of the employees do work requiring little skill or. training This probably is due to relative scarcity in Canada of skilled workers. The rep resentatives of the tariff board found that in the Canadian mills visited most of the unskilled workers were Canadians of French descent On the other hand. nearly all of the employees in the better paid occupations were of the English speaking races Many of these men were of American birth or had worked in paper mills in the United States and had been drawn to Canada by advantageous offers of employment
 The boards report makes no attempt to go into the subject of profits of news print paper mills. but it refers to 1t in treating of depreciation.
 "The high cost of plant and equipment in the paper industry" 1t says, makes the depreciation charge per ton figure as a high percentage of the cost of product if entered as a cost item.
 'If the investment cost per ton per day be taken at $15.000, the total investment for 100 ton plant would be $1,5o0,OOo and a 3 per cent deprecation charge would amount to $1 45 per ton.
 Tt is not the problem of board of n- quiry to consider what is reasonable price or a reasonable profit

Great Principle Assumes Vitality When Secretary
 Knox Drafts Treaty
TAKEN UP WITH BOTH FRANCE AND ENGLAEn
Secretary Knox Issues Statement Giving General Features of Plan. War Is Praticaf1y Made Im-
 possible

Washington. May 1.-The principle of arbitration of practically all disputes be- tween nations, including even questions of vital interest and national honor. as sumed vitality today when Secretary of State Knox submitted to the British and French ambassadors at Washington the draft of a convention to serve as a basis of negotiations. The fact that this world movement would be inaugurated with France as well as Great Britain came as a surprise, as it was generally understood only the United States and Englsnd were concerned in the initial steps
 Secretary Knox has evolved a docu- ment. which has received the approval of the President and other members of his cabinet providing that all differences which are internationally justhable shall be submitted to arbitration. It ex- bands the scope of the existing arbitra- tion treaties by eliminating the exeep- tions referring to questions of vital in- terest and national honor" This elim- ination Is the real accomplishment of the proposed treaty. The exceptions mentioned are found in arbitration treat ies the world over. and have constituted the chief obstacle to the application of the arbitration principle, for it is hard to conceive of a problem which in it's essence cannot be regarded as having a controlling bearing upon national hon. or.'' or vital interest"
 Recognizing that there may be ques- tions of policy and other matters likely to force nations to the brink of war. but which no people would he willing to arbitrate, the tentative draft of the treaty provides that differences that either party consider within this cate gory shall be referred to a commission Of inquiry empowered to make recom- mendations for their settlement. In this connection the treaty will take another advanced step by binding the dsputants to arbitration in case the commission ot l irullitry declares that the controversy shall be arbitrated.
