$4,000 A YEAR ADVICE
ON FOOD FOR WORKERS

Toronto, Canada.-Gcncral Manager
Couzens, OF the Toronto Hydro Elec.
trio System, a govcrnmcnt-Owned util-
ity, has his own views ON the amount
OF food necessary to sustain a big-mus
clcd electrical worker. He believes, for
instance, a Saturday lunch for these
huskies should only consist OF boiled
rice, apple pie, bread, butter and tea.
For Mondays lunch he is quite sure a
potato salad, bread, Jelly and tea is SUI
fcient, while he would arrange Tues
days midday banquet as follows: Vegc-
table soup (without meaD, bread, but
ter, Jam and tea.
The general manager is paid a salary
OF $4,000 per year, which is more than
the chief justice or the premier OF Can
ada receives. The electrical workers
employed by the Hydro Electric Sys-
TEN are on strike because the commits
sioners i'll charge OF this public utility
have refused to accept an award given
by a board appointed under the in
dustrial disputes act OF Canada. This
law makes it illegal to call a strike or
enforce lockout in a public utility
until governmcnt-appoin board in
vcstgatc the dispute. In the present
case the board indorscd the workers
request for wage increases, and now the
Hydro Electric Commission refuses to
accept the award.

ploycs should not receive wage

Mrs Emma Ref O'Rourke must furnish further evidence of intolerable cruelty before she may obtain the d1- vorce she seeks from her husband, James s. OR burke, the baseball play CT. Judge William S. Williams in the suoerior court yesterday afternoon. heard Dr. F. J. Adams testify that he had treated Mrs. O'Rourke for a ner- vous trouble which the doctor said he believed was brought on, by the neg lect of her husband, pr. Adams said Mrs O'Rourke was in very ner- vous condition and this condition was brought about because her husband had neglected to write to her or visit her.
 MT. O'Rourke, who is now playing shortstop and sometimes second base with the Columbus team of the Amer ican league. lives in Baltimore when he is not playing ball. The couple were n1avrnates in childhood on the East Side and their marriage followed school day romance. They were married in New York. MT. O'Rourke played on the Yale university team during his college days and later with I the Bridgeport team of the Connec- ticut league.
 OsRourke alleges that her husband be- gan to treat her cruelty soon after their marriage and that he has not lived with her since 1914.
 Mrs O'Rourke, ,aNpretty woman, ap- peared in court yesterday styl1sn1y dressed During the time Dr. Adams gave his testffn ory, yesterday, she re- mained in one of the anterooms of the court. Attorney Merritt, who rep resented her. told the court the legal authorities held that it was not nee essary that a man beat or abuse his wife to establish intolerable. cruelty but that the very fact that he neg lected her, did not speak to, her Oi persistently remained away from her, was cruelty of q refined sort which the law held as intolerable.
 Judge Williams said he did not feel he could grant the decree on the evidence offered and continued the hearing in order that Attorney Mer- ritt might introduce more evidence.
