Opinions Differ 6s To Fire Causes.
 VANCOUVER. B C., May Re garding the causes of the fires which destroyed one of Vancouver's costly bridges Thursday and which damaged another there is a wide diversity Of opinion. chleGof-Police McLennan thinks it a mere coincidence that the two bridges caught on fire the same day, and scouts the theory Of incen- diarism. He admits that it was pe- culiar coincidence that fires should start about the same hour in two pub lie works of similar character but says there is no evidence of foul play
 Chief of the Fire Department Thompson, on tho other hand thinks both fires due to iucendiarism, though he admits that there is nothing to show whether the fires were due to an alien enemy or a crazy man.
 It was stated that the arrest of Germans yesterday, includ- ing Baron Luttowitz. who claims to be a friend of the Kaiser, was not the re- suit of suspicion that they had any thing to do with the bridge fires, but because they had been making too much noise at a home celebration Sunday evening when the remainder of the city was in mourning the re- ceipts of the long lists of casualties among Vancouver men in the fighting Of the Thursday Friday and Saturday previous in Belgium.
 The arrested Germans will probably be sent to the detention camp at Ma. naimo

PEOPLE sHoULD CONTROL

San Francisco-The people should
control labor exchanges, declared
Secretary of Labor Wilson in a
speech before the labor exchange con-
ference, which included federals,
state, and municipal officials.
The cabinet official said:
''The need for labor exchanges has
been clearly demonstrated. Private
labor exchanges came into existence
because there was a need for clearing
houses for labor There never would
have been a need for municipal labor
exchanges had it not been for the fact
that the private exchanges had been
abused.
THE suspicion which exists on the
part of labor organizations is due to
the fact that in many instances these
private labor exchanges have feeced
the workingmen and furnished strike
breakers, wage-breakers and hour-in-
creasers to private concerns. 1t is
within the power of the peope to con-
troll municipal labor exchanges, and
thus controlled, they can never be
used for any other purposes than
those for which they are designed"

AGAINST IMMIGRATION

WSan FranciSco.-At the information
immigration congress, trade union
Hts declared present methods of in
ducing immigration were criminal.
Editor Mullen OF the Labor Clarion
said: "The American worker is not
going to permit his liberties to be
filched from him by holding out false
hopes to the oppressed of other lands
merely to satisfy the greed-crazed
elements of our social structure"
Robert N. Lynch, manager OF the To-
cal chamber of commerce, was not
alarmed at the PROJECTS of large num-
bers of immigrants coming to the
Pacific canal. Mr. Lynch said the OPP
portunities are not here. He seemed
to overlook the fact that steamship
companies, railroads and corporations
interested in flooding the labor mar
ket pay no attention to emporium
tiles" for immigrants.

BIG LABOR EXPLOITATION
SCHEME IS BLOCKED

San Antonio, Texan attempt to
exploit labor and Mexicanize West
Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio mines
has been blocked by state officials
and federal immigration inspectors
These officials notified labor agency
IN this city that was advertising for
$4,000 Mexicans to work in various
eastern mines, that it must qualify
under the Texas law governing en-
ployment agencies. A refusal to quail
lily was followed by arrests. One of
the promoters committed suicide.
Several hundred Mexica-s lost 81
apiece. The offer attracted German
sailors who have been interned since
last spring, but these workers were
suspicious and they conferred with
trade unionists.
The contract Mexicans were called
upon to sign provided that each signer
should work for the company that
advances the transportation until such
transportation and all other expenses
connected Herewith are paid in full. I"
1t was further agreed that the work
er should pay the labor agency S per
cent OF his earnings for a period
of II months, this money to be taken
from the envelope of the worker and
forwarded every month to the agent
The collapse of the scheme has re-
suited in several hundred Mexicans
being left destitute in this city.

Ohicago.-lllinois has rejected the
ancient doctrine that when a woman
does work equal with a man she is
not entitled to equal pay.
The state board of administration,
controlling 81 state charitable institu-
tons and $500 employees, has accepted
the theory of equal pay for equal
work, regardless of sex, so persistent
~ urged by the trade union movement.
and starting September the new rule
will become effective.
This decision was made at meet
ing of the board, which was attended
by trade union representatives, includ-
ing officials of the Hospital Nurses
and Attendants union, affiliated to the
American Federation Of Labor. llli-
nois has the distinction of being the
only state in which these workers are
organized and the boards ruling is
another illustration of trade union
ism's power to overthrow century
old dogma.
President Kern of the state board
of administration explains the order
as follows:
"The minimum wages for men and
women in all the state institutions to
be the same for the same class of
work
CAN employees to be given one day
of rest in seven. in addition to the
two weeks vacation annually. Under
the old system they had the two
weeks vacation, but worked seven
days a week.
"a promotional wage scale whereby
all employees will automatically re-
ceive higher wages as their term of
service lengthens.
1.-THE change from night to day
service to be made hereafter each
week instead of monthly.
"There is no reason" said President
Kern, "why a nurse in these state in
stitutions should not receive as high
wages as the men attendants for the
same class of work. 1t should have
been recognized long ago. We believe
that we are establishing the right
standard this time and that it will tend
to increase efficiency in all the in
situations.
1--WE are working out the promo
tional wage scale, which we believe
to be another step in the right direc-
ton. Instead of leaving the question
of wages to the superintendent we
believe this plan will work much bet
ter as the employees will always have
an incentive, for the longer they work,
provided they are faithful and effci-
ent, the higher will be their wages"
