Canadian conscription.

Ottawa. Ont. June 11.-A bill for
compulsory military service by Cana
dians between the age of 20 and Al
years was presented in the house of
commons today by Sir Robert Bor-
den.
II will not shrink" he declared
from the determination to support
and maintain the Canadian troops at
the front. They went forth splendid in
their youth. They will come back from
the front grim, determined men. II
what is left of 100000 such men come
back to Canada with fierce resentment
in their hearts. conscious that they
have been deserted and betrayed, how
shall we face them when they ask the
reason? l am not so much concerned
for the day when this bill becomes law
as for the day when these mon re-
turn, il it Is denied"

The general public is also elated
over the victory for organized labor.
No body of workingmen has been so
widely misrepresented as the railroad
men. Through the publicity methods
of the railroad managers the public
was led to believe that the men in
volved in the controversy were the
best paid workmen in the country,
while as q matter Of fact their pay is
far below the average.
A railroad brakeman on a freight
train is paid at the rate of $0.2S2 an
hour, or about the came rate as is
paid street railway motormen and
conductors. A brakeman to earn
$125 in a month must put in IS ten
hour work days. AS there are only
80 days in month 1t is necessary
for him to work Is hours day every
day in the months to get $125 in his
pay envelope. The engineer on the
same train operating a standard en-
CINE is paid at the rate Of A cents an
hour. A Duluth plumber is paid at
the rate Of 62h cents an hour.
Two neighbors, one a. plumber and
the other railroad engineer, leaving
. their homes at the same hour, both
starting work at o'clock in the
morning, close the day with the fol-
lowing earnings: , The plumber COM
pletes his hours and returns to his
home in the evening earning IS. The
engineer works two hours longer and
is paid for his ten-1lour day, $40.
The plumber is home and the engt-
neer is 100 miles from home with
additional expenses to meet. If the
plumber was called upon to work
overtime two hours he would be paid
therefor at the rate of double time,
so while the engineer is earning but
$40 for ten hours work, the plum
Der would be paid $3.50 for the same
time.
What is true of the engineers and
brakemen is also true with regard to
conductors and firemen, and there is
the same difference in their pay. A
city hod corrier is paid more money
for his labor every hour than is paid
to a railroad brakeman or fireman.
Considering the hazard of their en-
ployment the railroad engineers, fire.
men, conductors and brakemen are
considerably uhderpaid, when. their

| to workingmen in other occupations.
The eight-hour victory was de-
! served. It marks g. new era for
American workingmen, and now it is
every PERSONS duty to assist the un-
| derpaid sectionmen, car repairers,
shopmen and other such workmen to
| get a decent wage, and a. basic eight
