INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS REPORT
AT LIBRARY

A copy Of the Industrial Relations
Commission Report and evidence has
been sent to the local library by Rep
resentative Lindbergh, where it may
be seen by those who wish. MI.
Lindbergh's allotment, according to a
letter written to the Herald, was but
sixteen copies and in order to get
them evenly distributed throughout the
district he decided that the only way
that he could give satisfaction was to
send copies to the libraries in the prin-
cipal places.

XMAS SHOPPERS ARE
BUSY DESPITE WAR
Thousands Seeking Presents. of Va
rious Sorts in District.

Washington n is shopping early.
Doubtless 1t will shop late also, but
thousands are on the Job and many
have their gifts wrapped up in tissue
paper and tied with gay ribbons
awaiting the day when the swapping
will begin.
Although the war has given a great
impetus to the ''spug'' movement, it
Is not by any means going to be a
''giftless Christmas" The shops are
crowded, and from every visible evil
dence, there will be few who Will de-
part from the good old fashion of
giving material things and adopt the
newer style OF sending an engraved
card of greeting.
The shops offer an infinite variety
OF gifts, and while for the most part
purchasers are selecting useful pres
ents, there is still the inevitable sup
ply of nicknacks and jimcracks which
persist in hanging about the house
until the next Christmas comes
around and you get still another sup
ply.
The war spirit pervades the shop
ping district. There is everything for
the soldier boy, from a silk cravat ex-
actly the shade OF the uniform, to
comfort kits complete in every pos
sible detail. And for miIady there is
an endless variety of war time gifts.
Mars has also had his inning with
the kiddies, Santa Claus, and the bell
igerently inclined youngster may have
anything from. a miniature ''tank'' on
down. Sister may have a nurse cos
tune. and there are machine guns
and tin soldiers galore.
Altogether. Washington is promised
a Christmas just as Christmasy as
any 1t has ever known, and Santa
Claus will be just as much on the
job.

The situation is unparallel in Wash

other function that has to do with
distribution. The situation affects
every individual. A solution must be
found.
Most any individual or corporation
is apt to slip a cog now and then,
but We have been slipping so many

Position of LaurIer.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is not wholly
opposed to conscription. but he de-

the smallness of the quota sent by
French-Canada to the fighting lines,
to the quality of the recruiting

Borden government.
Canada has sent 10000 fighting men
