there is no doubt that the citizens,

The Vancouver Sun" observes:
Senator Gideon Robertson is a man
whose sympathies with the cause of
organized labor are beyond question.
For that reason his condemnation of
those responsible for the Winnipeg
strike comes with great force When
he declares the outbreak to be without
justification, the argument IS closed.
The Senator puts q precise finger
on the root of the trouble when he at

There is no occasion for any great

~ radical forces have met
some severe setbacks dur
ing the week and the effort to unite
labor into Zone Big Union" has
largely failed.
Canadian opinion has come gen
orally to the view that the whole
effort, however lacking in disorder
as compared with many previous
strikes, is a demonstration of the
Red forces seeking to undermine
union labor in the Dominion.
While the strikes in some of the
affected centres, especially Winni-
peg, continue in desperation, the
movement has lost much of its first
enthusiasm. In Toronto the strik-
ing labor unions have accepted the
proposal of the Metal Trades Coun-
Gil to return to work. The strike
movement never was as extensive
there as at Winnipeg, and the soil
darity relied upon by the leaders
proved to be non-existent
The outstanding events of the
week are:
The Toronto strike has ended.
1T Winnipeg
Premier Norris of Manitoba and
his Cabinet were requested to re-
sign by speakers of the delegation
Of returned soldiers, strikers and
strike sympathizers, who took pos
session Of the Provincial Legislative
Chamber at Winnipeg for the third
time. Premier Norris told the
crowd that he would not give up
the office, but that he would use
every effort to obtain legislation
which might tend to improve indus
trial conditions in Manitoba.
Hundreds of strike sympathizers
and strikers, parading the down
town streets of Winnipeg. tore q

mittee from the Board of Trade
building. Policemen and detectives
prevented the crowd from forcing
its way into the building
Executives of the three war vet
Grams associations issued state
ments, "deploring, regulating and
condemning' the acts Of returned
! soldiers who participated in parades
OH two days previous, and who fig
ured in demonstrations in the Pro
: vincial Parliament and the City
Council Chamber. The soldier
marchers were referred to as 'eX-

Some of the commercial teleg-

Winnipeg, returned to work without

Outnumbering the soldiers in a
parade and demonstration at Winri-
peg on Tuesday were the alien and
obviously foreign element Of the
city, but they were less demonsrra-
tive than the men Of English and
Canadian origin.
The Winnipeg police voted unani-
mously to sign the modified terms
contained in the ultimatum pre-
scented to the Police Commission
providing that the police must not
participate in the sympathetic
strike. A resolution was passed to
support constituted authority at all
times in maintaining law and order

''Cleor the Decks

The conservative forces in the
Socialist party, represented by THE
New York Call accuse the left
wingers of apng the Russians. In
an article in "The CALI by Morris
Hillquit declaring the Socialists
must "clear the decks,' the issue
was thus defined:
THE Left Wing movement. as see
it, is a purely emotional reflex of the
situation in Russia. The cardinal vice
Of the movement is that it started as
wing i. c., as a schismatic and dis
migrating movement. The Left
Wing movement is a sort of burlesque
Oh the Russian revolution. Its leaders
do not want to convert their COM
rades in the party. They must capt
ure' and establish a sort of Dictator
ship Of the proletariat % within the
party. Hence the creation of their
dual organization as kind Of Soviet
and their refusal to cooperate with the
aforesaid stage 'Centralists' and Right
WinRcrs.'
"But the performance is too sad to
be amusing. 1t seems perfectly clear
that, so long aS this movement per-
sists in the party, the latter's activity
will be wholly taken up by mutual
quarrcls and denominations. Neither
wing will have any time for the propa-
ganda Of Socialism. There is, as far as
can see, but one remedy. 1t would
be futile to preach reconciliation and
union where antagonism runs so high

Eight days ago the general strike

to be growing and the secretary of

as saying: Il think we Will spring a

business. Jesus thought 1t best for
those who we're called to preach
shrould leave their usual pursuits, and
give all the time to this special work.
Again we find in Jesus training the
twelve that call to preach is a call
to prepare. He took charge of this
company Of chosen men and kept them
with him during the remainder of his
life teaching them and exercising
them In active work. This again is
ideal The church Is coming more
and more to the idea of trained relig-
ious workers. Laymen and laywomen
are being called together for training
in schools organized for that purpose.
The training of Sunday School teach
ers has become the prominent work
of the church. Both wisdom and pow
er is needed for winning souls. First
the person must find Christ, be trans
formed by the Holy Spirit into his i'm
age, then taught in the scriptures and
in methods of reaching men; and dur
ing this process he should be exercis-
ing himself and in winning souls. We
learn by doing, and in nothing Is this
more true than In bringing men to
God. 1t should be the highest inspira-
ton Of every Christian, young and old
to equip himself for the great work OF
saving men. This is the greatest work
in which human being can engage

the greatest thing that Jesus did fol
| the world was "the training Of the
twelve" His discourses we're largely
for their benefit. They were the de-
positories and the deositories Of the
gospel. The word of God should be
studied in every home and from child
hood its great truths lodged in the
mind, preparatory for the life work. Il
parents expect their children to be
winners of souls they must begin II
early life to train them for that pur'
pose. There needs to be great awak
ening on this subject. We are making
slow progress in bringing the world t.
Christ because we are not teaching thu
children that this Is their business ant
then failing to prepare them by train
ing to do the work.

Last Sundays lesson gave an ac-
count of the Conversion to Christ of
Andrew, John and Peter. This was
Just after the temptation in the Wild
erness. Jesus remained in Judea for
a season and when John, the Baptist,
was cast into prison he departed for
Gallilee. We meet him today on the
banks of the Sea of Gallilee where
he finds James, John, Peter and An
drew fishing. He now calls them to
leave their nets and follow him. Here
we have a concrete case of call to
the ministry. God called the prophets
for their specific work, Jesus called
the twelve and the seventy. We be-
lieve that God still calls men to preach
the gospel 1t is great privilege and
a great honor to be thus designated.
These were laboring men, plain toll
ers.
Moses was called from keeping his
father-in-law's sheep; Saul was called
to be King from searching from his
fathers fiocks; Amos called from the
herds of Takoa; the birth Of Christ
was announced to the shepherds of
Bethlehem. Many of the greatest min
listers of the gospel, all down the ages
have come from the ranks of the COM
mon people. 1t seems to be Gods
way. God always has reasons for what
he does whether he divulges 1t or not.
Jesus at once gave these men an OBJ
ject lesson in preaching or as he call
ed it, fishing. for men. He sat in one
of the boats and preached to the peo-
pie on the shore. Jesus was what we
call today street preacher as well as
a Synagogue preacher. The salvation
of men seemed to be always on his
mind, and he was speaking of the
Kingdom wherever he went. The
ideal minister is like the Master in
this as we'll as in all other respects.
Our failure as ministers, today, is
doubtless attributable to our failure to
be so impressed with our mission that
we be always seeking the lost. II we
succeed we must be about our Masters

WOODS FINDS LABOR
OUTLOOK IMPROVED
Many Discharged Soldiers
Not Trying to Get Jobs.

WASHINGTON, March Material i'm
provement In the unemployment situa-
ton over the country is indicated by
labor reports received by Arthur Woods,
special assistant to Secretary Baker.
Mr.. Woods expressed the belief to-day
that this Improvement would continue.
While confessing that his task of re-
placing discharged soldiers in industry
had rather awed him, Mr.. Woods said
he did not view the problem as serious.
A majority of the discharged soldiers
are finding positions for themselves. but
a large proportion have made small eff
fort to obtain Jobs.
new and important element In ind
ing employment for the fighting men,
Mr.. Woods continued, is the decided i'm
provement wrought in each individual
as a result of his military experience
To ask these men to take their old jobs
he declared, would be to require step
backward for them. Government en-
ployment agencies will place such men
on preferred lists.
Mr.. Woods said that in finding jobs
for soldiers every effort would be made
to prevent the discharge OF workmer
now employed He added that no dis
elimination would be made in the cases
Of women workers, but that cognizanct
would be taken OF special cases where
women did not need employment.
