CITY UNABLE TO FLOOD
PARK FOR SKATING FANS

It begins 10 look as though it is i'm
possible to make a skating rink out
of the east end Of Allen Park, as was
decided on by commissioner p. j.
Mcagher and the park commissioners
Attempts to flood the low place that
has been walled up by a small EN-.
bankment have not materiali2ed. It
is thought that the park is gravel
bed with but a foot or Two of soil on
top, as the water soals into the ground
as FAST as it is flooded in.
Flooding Of the parks on top Of the
bill is considered to be impractical. as
the parks are higher than the side
walks. No low lots are available as
far as can be learned.
Some of the Fairgrounds surround
ing few of the city schools have
been flooded to afford skating for the

at The Lincoln school has been flooded
but the surface did not freeze smooth

Ottawa newspapers are being issued

biographical Union, which went into
effect last night at 11:00, without
previous notice to the publishers.

Der and corresponding increase fcp
work that is done by the piece. The
members of the Union took the posi-
tion that the increase in the working
scale was necessitated by the high
cost of living, and the employing prin-
ters on the other hand contended the
high cost Of living affected them just
as much as the employees, and that all
grades of paper used in commercial
printing and print paper used for the
newspaper had increased from 100 per
cent in some instances, and to 200
per cent. and 800 per cent in others.
The employers also claimed that
they have recently spent thousands
OF dollars in improving their plants
and making working conditions better
for their employees, and that raise at
this time was unfair and inopportune.
Notwithstanding, however, an offer
Of twenty per cent. increase in the
working scale was made by the enl-
p!oyers. but the committee from the

no authority to make any compromise
