jail last week for reckless driving
while drunk. His sentence was sus-
pended on account of his age.
"Let's Drive Carefully" is the slo-
gan which should be adopted by every
car owner in the valley. There
would be fewer accidents, less repair
bills and cars would look better and
last longer.

MONTREAL SH|Pbu|LEDRS
WIN after HOT CONTEST

MONTREAL, Can, Aug. 2s.-Strik-
ing employees at the Canadian Wick
ers shipbuilding plant have won
big victory over this concern, which
has been vigorous in it's opposition
to organized labor. Wages of the
basic trades are advanced Z cents
an hour, making a 75-cent mini
mum. Laborers are advanced from
IS cents an hour to Ascent mini
mum and the 47-hour work week
has been established.
The company spent large sums of
money to defeat the strikers, and
when the latter won the local press
made sparse mention Of the incident.

march separately.
rs not their purpose clear?
They succeeded in having the
whites and negroes separated into two
parades, instead of letting them
march together. This was done, but
the marchers in the two parades
merged into one audience at the play
ground to hear the speakers. And
there they fraternized peacefully and
cordially-united workers.
AT every opportunity the packers
and their hirelings famed the fires Of
race prejudice and the fires Of
prejudice between strikebreakers and
organized workers. hoping for the day
to arrive when union white men would
refuse to work beside unorganized
colored men, so that the union men,
white and black, could be discharged
and nonunion workers, white and
black, put in their places, until the
spark came that ignited the finder
piled by the packers and the race riots
ensued.

1T stands to the credit of the union
workers of Chicago that neither black
nor white union men participated in
the rioting, despite the lying accounts
published daily by the kept press,
bought body and soul by the adver-
tisements Of the packers and other
crooks of big business.

packers. The colored union men also

1T is perfectly obvious that the

inflame the Polish and Lithuanian

To support their charges, these or

London, Jan. 24.--"Lord French is
today the absolute ruler of Ireland,
which practically has been turned into
a crown colony" says the Dublin cor
respondent of the Daily News.
Two very serious changes affecting
nationalist Ireland are said TO be in
contemplation If they have not been
actually settled upon. They are the
abolition of the honorary magistraCy,
with the placing of the entire admins
tration of summary justice in the
hands of salaried magistrates, and the
enforcement of the oath of loyalty
upon all persons receiving emoluments
from government funds.
AT present the oath of loyalty is
demanded only from civil servants
other than postoffice servants, but the
enforcement of the new proposal
would bring in such men as university
professors. This of course, if it is at
tempted, will be most bitterly resent
ed and resisted. Niceroy French how
ever, is credited with favoring it, his
view being that almost anything can
be tolerated except disoyalty to the
crown.

liberal continental laws relating to the

advantage has been taken of their
absence to impose arbitrarily unnec-

reasonable privileges enjoyed by
the people of European countries.
Leaders in the bone dry movement in
congress and state political organiza-

political chastisement upon the return

Delegations of drys seeking to en-

make for temperance though not pro-

Delegates to Action,

Paris, Jan. Responsive to de-
mands in the United States which are
echoed in Germany, for an immediate
conclusion of the peace treaty, efforts
are being made to hasten the adop-
ton of Il plan for a league of nations
1t is declared to be the conviction of
the peace delegates that no permanent
peace can be made until certain prin-
ciples to govern the relations between
the states have been accepted by the
peace conference.
such questions as the rcarrange-
ment Of boundaries, the assumption of
indemnitieS and separations and the
creation of constituted authorities are
regarded as the very basis of the trea-
~ of peace and not only the Ameri-
can delegates, but also the British and
French delegates are understood to
be of the opinion that these things
cannot be safely composed in special
peace treaties. but must be founded
upon the general principles forming
the basis of league of nations
Another consideration is the lkeli-
hood that If the treaty of peace is
signed first thcre will be little DISPOSE
ton among the delegates to linger in
