For the 1916 crop the producers
probably received less than two cents
a pound. In midwinter many OF these
onions were sold to retailers and
through them to consumers at 10 to
10 cents a pound. It is claimed by
the government that this tremendous
margin between the price accruing to
the producer and the price paid by
the consumer was largely due to the

SIR MAX ATTKEN

There was a time in British history
when young men played leading roles
in the drama of world destiny-that
period when Pit and Fox, neither of
them much older than most college
graduates today, fired parliament
with their eloquence. Today, how
ever, most of the successful statesmen
in England as well as in the United
States are men at least of middle age,
and, particularly at the present time,
maturity and experience in states
manship are looked for. One of the
few exceptions in Englands case is
Sir Max Aitken, formerly Canadian
member of Britain's parliament and
since the war began one of the most
industrious workers for the victory OF
the empire. Sir Max is without a
doubt one of the most remarkable
young men Canada has ever produ-
ced. He is today celebrating his thir.
ty-ninth birthday. From comparative
! poverty he has risen to prominence in
the financial world, the dignity OF
parliamentary servic~, and the honor
| of knighthood. William Maxwell Ait.
ken was born at Newcastle, a lumber.

New Brunswick on May 25, 1879. Hi.

RUSSIA, THE GREAT ENIGMA.

If you could inquire personally to-
day among the statesmen who are
guiding the affairs Of the Allies, in
Guiding, of course, the United States,
as to what phase of the war situa-
ton constituted the greatest source
of worry, you would undoubtedly be
told Russia. What is Russia going to
do?. What can Russia do? What is
the real situation in that vast coun-
try with its millions of inhabitants,
who have for the first time tasted the
fruits of freedom? The fact Is, no one
knows. Missions from the United
States and other countries are on
their way to- Petrograd to persuade,
perhaps, and to look into the situa-
ton. But who knows the situation
even in Russia. An< whom is there
to persuade? Factions are tearing at
1.-The heart of Russia. The socialists
want one thing, the Committee OF
Workmen and Soldiers wants another

Trade Union To
Assist Government

London, May 25.-It is understood
that an important change in the re-

trade unions is contemplated, the
movement probably being an out
growth of the many labor difficulties
that have arisen during the war. Pro-
posals are being advanced, it is said,
with view to making better use of
the assistance of the trade union lead
, ers in Strengthening the ministry of
labor and co-ordinating it's work with
various government departments,
such as the admiralty, the war office,
! the ministry of munitions and the

all have direct relations with the

Eighty Seven Indicted BY
Grand Jury at

Boston. May 25-Eighty-seven corr
porations and individuals were indict-
ed by the Federal Grand Jury here
yesterday for conspiring to monopo-
lie interstate commerce in onionsI
The indictments, which were re-
turned as a result of a nationwide in
quiry into the cost of food conducted
ltst winter by United States Attorney
George w. Anderson of this city, al
lege that the defendants divided up
the territory of the country between
them. for the purpose of eliminating
competition. that maximum prices
were fixed for the purchase of onions
and that the supply was boarded in
order toSincrease prices.
Mr.. Anderson estimated that the
annual crop of onions amounted to
200, 100000 pounds, three-fourths of
which he said was alleged to have
been controlled by the defendants In
outlining the case Mr.. Anderson said:
THE gist of the charge is that the
defendants have maintained a ma
tional onion association, composed of
large onion dealers, who buy up the
hulk of the onions of the Northern
States during the summer and early
fall, storing them in warehouses own
ed or controlled by the various mem
bers and putting them upon the mar
ket from September to April. The
government charges that this associa-
ton has had a dominating and illegal
control of the onion trade for the past
three years
THE government expects to show
that as early as September, 1916, al
