Washington. Nov. A.-Consideration OF
the draf. convention proposed by the
committee to limit the hours of wors
ir industry to eight hours a day and q
hours a week. was begun today By the
international labor conference, and
enough progress made to Indicate its
adoption probably tomorrow.
The conference adopted the clause de-
fining the industrial undertaking. to
which the agreement would apply with
an amendment which provided that
questions relating to navigation on in
ternational and waterways be offered to
a special conference.
Opposition to the convention n q
whole was expressed by s. r. Parsons,
employers delegate from Canada, who
insisted the general application Of the
shorter working day would. according
to actual experience. greatly lessen pro-
duction"
Newton W. Rowell. the government
delegate from Canada. disagreed with
Mr.. Parsons. saying he feared" the
position Of Canada misht be misunder-
SkVOu oo y IcSuit VI al SOHS Tc-
marks. He announced that he and the
other Canadian government representa-
tives would vote for the convention.
Mr.. Rowell pointed out that the Ca
madam Parliament already had approv-
ed the treaty containing the labor
clause and the league Of nations cove
nant and that since it had approved
them the government of Canada would
''carry out the obligations it assumed
in the treaty. in spirit as we'll as in
letter.
Leon Jouhaux. the French labor lead
er. declared that in voting for the con-
vention the workers had no idea of
waving any of their. aspirations. but
that they would vote for it because It
was the first time. Internationally tn.
principle Of the eight-hour and the lS-
hour week had been affirmed in an as
semtly where government. delegates
were present.
I'VE shall vote for this convention" !"
he said, 'because II IL the first mani
festation on the part Of the league OF
nations in favor Of international legis-
lation.'
The conference admitted Luxumberg
to membership.

A CLOSEUP
'Continued from PAGE one)

There is other mystery in Jackman
these days. one feels it in the pres
ence Of the people. it is suggested
by the restraint in their converse
tion. 1t has been so since the mu-.
der OF Nelson W. BARLEY, Oct. 18th.
He was man with many friends.
and presumably some enemies. He
was foully murdered if we may Judge
from incomplete evidence, done 70
death and thrown into. a hole made
by the uprooting Of a big tree. an

stretch Of woods growing between
the road and the shore Of the lake.
Nor was this for the purpose Of rob

contained valuables. And then. as
readers Of the Journal will recall
there was the other mystery WHY
Bartley's associate and supposed
friend. ex-Deputy Sheriff Burke,
was shot in the leg. by Barley that
same night. as Burke claims

mysterious circumstances are cur.

1t is but fair to state by no means

There was selling OF liquor and the
procuring Of it for sale, all not ac-

there were jealousies. for the rnvs-

ENGLISH PRINCE BIDS
FAREWELL TO CANADA

Halifax, \. S. Nov. 2tThe Prince
of Wales was cheered when he told
the guests at dinner at the Halifax
club tonight that he was intensely
Canadian" and that he hoped to re-
turn to Canada often and Ito travel
as a Canadian in his own country
Sir Robert Borden. Premier Of Can
ada. presided at the dinner. Among
the 90 guests were the Duke of Dev-
onshire. Governor General Of Canada.
the lieutenant governors of Nova
Scotia. New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island and the premiers OF
the eastern provinces.
After the dinner the Prince and his
suite attended a state ball at the
Government House.
In his address at the dinner the
Prince said:
1T is with the greatest regret that
bid a temporary farewell to Canada
tonight after three-months' tour
which 1 can never forget. This. my
first visit TO Canada, has done two
things for me. which will influence
the whole of my life.
"In the first place, Canada has
given me such wonderful welcomes
throughout my travels all the way
across the dominion from Halifax -
Vancouver and back. she has shown,
me such kindness and hospitality. she
has in fact so thoroughly spoiled me
that l have been feeling more and
more at home all the time. The re-
cult ia fEat 1ntsy int
Canadian now. but that shall feel a
Canadian all the rest of my life, AMI
snail never be happy il too many
months elapse without a visit to my
home on this side of the Atlantic.
The other great thing which this
first visit has done for me Is to give
me thorough understa nding of all
that Canada stands for on the North
American continent. I realized that
pretty fully before I left Ottawa a
fortnight ago. but / realize it even
more fully now since my visit to the
United States.
You are the guardians of British
institutions upon this continent and
your development az a nation on in
creasing power and influence win be
one of the most important factors
in determining relations between the
British Empire if all nations main
tain this intercourse and understand
each others standpoint.
You will notice that I have not
used the word goodbye and I do
not intend to use 1t, because I hope
to return to Canada soon and to re-
turn often. But 1 mean my future
visits to be less formal. / want to
travel as a Canadian In his own
country. and not as an extra special
visitor who may never turn up again.
/ hope that you may reciprocate in
some degree my strong desire to be
In Canada again soon and a. often ~
possible.

The paper quoted report published
in Puetla newspaper regarding the
Jenkins case. Il included an interview
with Governor Cabrera of Puebla, who
expressed the opinion that ''the case
does not warrant fear Of International
complications

When the coal situation comes be-
fore the cabinet tomorrow. sharp dif-
ferences of opinion between some
members is expected. Representatives
Of the operators have made the
claim repeatedly that the proposals
Of Secretary Wilson for wage
advance Of 81 per cent did not have
the approval Of a majority. of the
cabinet, bot 1t was admitted that Mr..
Wilson would have the support OF
some who were willing to give the
miners whatever they asked in Or

Other cabinet members, II was
said. feared the eject a big wagee
advance might have on the efforts Of
the government TO reduce the cost OF
living. Granting OF the miners re-
quest would strengthen the demands
OF railroad employees and other work
ers for more pay. and in many ways
disturbe the Industrial situation. ac-
cording to one view Two new orders
were issued today by the fuel ad-
ministration. Coal dumped into
barges. scows. boats and other Ses-
sels on lakes. rivers and other inter-
national and waterways, was made
subject to diversion by the railroad
administration in the same way as
bituminous coal loaded in railway
cars. The second order turned over
to the director general Of railroads
the authority to restrict or prohibit
the use Of bituminous coal for the
purpose Of producing or manufactur-
ing coke in beehive ovens.
