CANADIANS EAGER TO FIGHT.
Enlistments Thus Far in 1916 Surpass
ANY Similar Period

Ottawa, Ont. May l9.-rhe Canadian
Parliament ended its session yesterday
afternoon. There is some comment on
the fact that the governor general, the
Duke of Connaught, did not ofiiciate, but
left the closing ceremonies to his deputy
Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, chief justice of
Canada. Assent was given to the legis-
lation which has been enacted by the
two Houses of Parliament since the ses-
sion opened last January.
The outstanding features of the ses-
sion have been the destruction by fire of
the Parliament building; vote of $23,
100000 to tide the new continental
railways, the Canadian Northern and the
Grand Trunk Pacific. over present fnan-
cial difficulties; the appropriation of
S25, 100000 for Canadian war operations
during the present year and the introduc-
tion of the question of French language
in Canadian schools into the federal
house when it had been confined TO pro-
yincial legislature heretofore.
The speech from the throne stated that
nearly 10000 Canadian troops have gone
over seas and that more than 100000 are
undergoing training in Canada. To sup
ply needed reinforcements men have Of
fered themselves in even greater numbers
during the first four months of this year
than in any similar period during the
war.
1t is understood that Parliament may
be called to meet again early in the
autumn to deal with the report of a
which will seek solution

Efforts to Retake Small Fort
on Northeast Slope of Hill
3O4 Were Repulsed, Ac-
cording to the French Of
fetal Statement, Which
Tells of Very Violent
Fighting

Paris, May l9.-Violent fighting on
large scale was resumed on the Nerdun
front last night. Two fresh divisions OF
German troops attacked French positions
at Avocourt wood and on Hill 304, west
of the Meuse. The war office announces
that the attacks in the main were ,insuc-
cessful, although the Germans obtained
a footing in small post south OF Hill
2S7 which lies east of Avocourt wood.
The Germans attempted to recapture
the small fort on the northeast slope OF
Hill 304 which the French troops took
on the proceeding day but the efforts
failed. Infantry fighting was confined
for the most part to the sector west OF
the Meuse river. East of the river and
in the Woevre district the artillery was
active. 4lhe official statement says that
the troops employed by the Germans had
recently arrived at the Verdun front.
Sub-Lieutenant Navarro, one of the
best known French aviators, who recent
ly engaged in fight with five German
aeroplanes, brought down his tenth ma
chine in an aerial combat at Dolante, in
the Argonne, yesterday.

Dissatisfied with the Wages
Paid and Claim Viola
tion of Promise
40 MEN ARE IDLE
ON MILESTONE
Employers Say T - Prom
ised One Dc s More
Than at j. lcord

Forty paving cutters on Milestone hill,
comprising practically every member of
that union in the Barre granite district,
were idle to-day, as the result of differ
ences between the employers and en-
ployes. Statements made by representa- :
tlVes OF the paving cutters union, which
is an organization separate from that of
the granite cutters, are at variance with
the statements made by those whos have
been employing paving cutters on the
hill. Differences between the two factors,
having been mooted for some time prior
to May l, an adjustment was reached in
the first week OF the month and the men
returned to work on the morning of May
is.
A disagreement over the price to be
paid per thousand for paving blocks is
said to have precipitated both strikes.
The paving cutters declare that the en-
ployers refused to abide by the agree
ment reached early in May and at a
meeting of the union members last night
it was decided not to work to-day. The
following statement OF the cutters case
was issued:
"A week ago dispute between the
paving cutters and their employers was
settled by compromise agreement and
already the dispute has been revived be-
cause the representative of the employers
declines to pay the price fixed by the
agreement Just signed. The reason given
is that another branch OF the paving cut
ters' union has made a slightly different
agreement from what he understood.
Last night the paving cutters met and
discussed the position taken by the rep
resentative of the employers. The de-
cision arrived at was that all paving cut
ters on the hin should cease work until
the new problem could be solved
Interviewed to-day, one who is closely
identified with paving cutting interests
on Milestone hill stated that the point in
concerned comparison of
wages paid in Barre and in Concord. Ac-
sording to him, when the Barre cutters
asked for an increase they cited Concord
,utters as receiving S24 per thousand.
the employers promised to
,ay S25 per thousand. After work was
'esumed May s, it was stated, members
If the cutters committee came to the
'tiplcNtIs representative sciQ tHtN
lad been in error in quoting the Concord
ill as providing for s24. The Concord
rice was $3.50, Nhereupon, the EN-
'loyers, it is said, decided to do better
han stand by their original agreement,
hat OF paying 81 per thousand more
han Concord by paying S24, instead of
23.5o. Alleged dissatisfaction, it is said,
ollowed the announcement of the en-
loyers.
In the stand they have taken, the EN-
lovers claim they are entirely within
heir rights. They point to the intense
ompetition in the New England paving
lock market and cite. locally, the fact
hat the freight rate from Milestone Hill
0 Barre and thence to the consignee
