The present general unrest In Can

sive measured were 'rigidly enforced
measures far more stringent than
those employed In the United States.
It Is said that Labor leaders were ar

When Mr.. GOmpers went 10 Canada
he strongly supported the Govern
ment in these repressive measures and
so earned the distrpst -of Canadian
Labor Unions. As q result they sew
cred their connections with the Ameri-

While the situation Is becoming
critical It Is still but little Il. any,

February, when Lloyd George took
measures which restored the conf

Il is possible that these labor diff
culties will be settled without great
delay or serious results.

FIuME QUESTION SETTLED

The long controversy over Fiume
seems to be settled at last. Accord
| ing to the latest dispatches from
Paris, Fiume Is to be made an "inde-
pendent" city. This appears to be q
victory for Mr.. Wilson as against
Premier Orlando, who, with his col
league, Baron Sonnino, Quilted the
Peace Conference at the time Presi-
dent Wilson made his famous state
ment concerning Fiume and the Ad-
riatic coast. President Wilson seems
to have won in regard to his more gen.
eral demands also. This is Indicated
by the fact that not only Fiume but
the cities of lara and Sebenico will
not 60 to Italy. lara, the capital Of
Dalmatia, is a city Of $4,000, and is
thoroughly Italian in character. It has
a small harbor but active fisheries and
supports q brisk coastal trade. The
principal manufacturers are leather,
silk, linen, and the famous maraschine
wine. Sebenico lies at the mouth Of
the river Kerka, which flows into the
Adriatic sea about seventy miles
southeast Of Trieste; it has fine har-
Dor and carries an active trade. Be-
fore the war the population was 1O,-
100.
President Wilson's statement, which
at one time threatened to disrupt the
Peace Conference, at least as far as
Italy was concerned, was made as a
protest against the Treaty Of London
which Italy signed on entering the war
in behalf of the Allies. By the terms
of this treaty Itayl was to be ceded
Dalmatia but not Fiume. The claim
to Fiume originated later and was
it is reported, by the in
habitants Of the city itself, whose
is overwhelmingly italian.
However the surrounding country, in
GLIDING even the pOpulOus suburb Of
is predominantely Slav. The
United States has made promises to
the newly recognized JugO-Slav state |
which claimed Fiume as an outlet on
the Adriatic.
It is gratifying to learn that this
controversy has at last
been settled.

CANADIAN STRIKE
REACHES TORONTO

The wide spread strike in Canada
has spread to Toronto. The following
classes were excluded from the strike
order.
Workers in hotels, cafes, diaries
bakeries, gas houses, water-wOrks, ar
ti6cial limb works, picture aind theat-
er operators, policemen, firemen,
school teachers, professors, doctors,
hospital help and clergy. All other
workers were enjOined to quit at
once. This is the first general strike
in the history of Toronto and accord
ing to the latest reports 10000 men
have already responded. including
carpenters, machinists, cloak and gar
ment workers, shipbuilders and others.
The Central Strike Committee Of
Canada has sent the following mes
sage to Premier Borden:
1--WE wish to bring to your notice
that the Peace Conference, which you
attended, It was decided that labor
must be recognized, also collective
bargaining. Inasmuch as this is a
fact, why is common labor forced to
obtain what we understand was inter
nationally recognized"
The government, on the other hand,
has adopted policy in relation OF the
strike which insists on the maintain
ance Of law and order and the prOtec-
ton of life and property, and that EN-
ployees in the civil service shall not
join in strikes. It also is q part Of
the Governments policy to use its
best efforts to establish boards of con-
citation wherever possible.
Il is considered possible that the
strike may spread to Ottawa and Mon
treal. In Vancouver the Trades and
Labor Council has formulated seven
demands to be presented 10 the Gov
eminent at Ottawa and, If these de-
msnds are not yielded to, the Council
says, the Government will have to re-
sign and force . general election. The
seven points include the demands Of
the Winnipeg strikers, an additional
demand that soldiers get a minimum
grant Of 5000 for overseas service,
ipsistence on the national control Of
food shortage, and q demand for a
six hour day. Since Vancouver takes

DEMOCRACY REAL


i The German countersprcposals, TO

Germany BE- made Q member Of II.
League Of Nations. the disposition Of
Silesia be decided By plebiscite, thai
q definite sum be fixed for reparation
and that the proposed disposition Of
the Saare Valley Is utterly unjust 10
Germany.
In protesting against the provisions
Of the peace treaty concerning the
Saare Valley the German counter-prO-
pOsals say: 'The territory Of the
Saar, inhabited by 100000 persons. Is
10 be detached from the German En-
pire solely because Of claims upon its
coal" and II Is objected that for the
next fifteen years the treaty provides
for the control of the territory by q
commission ain the nomination Of
which the population has no voice."
Since the population Of the Saare
valley is largely German Il would
scarcely have been wise for the Allies
to allow the inhabitants Of the district
to choose the controlling Of the COM
mission. As to the claim concerning
the matter Of coal, It Is doubtless true.
However, France needs the Saare coal
in order to start and keep going the
industries paralyzed by the German
invasion. In recent speech delivered
before the Economic Club Of New
York, Mr.. Frank Vanderlip, President |
Of the National City Bank of New
York, painted an appealing picture Of |
the condition Of French industry, Of
the complete destruction Of French
cities in Northern France. In order TO
start the wheels Of industry going |
again coal is necessary and, by the
Saare valley provisions, France Is
merely making Germany pay for the
of industries she destroy
ID.
It is TO be noted that the plebiscite
which the Germans desire now viii
AXE place, by the terms Of the treaty,
n fifteen years. To insure fair pleb-
scite at that time, and to avoid the
that Frenchmen who may
ave migrated into the region in large
lumbers, will turn the balance In
avor of France, the treaty provides
hat only those shall be allowed to
'Ote who are living in the Saare val
ey at the time the treaty Is signed
nd are then. twenty years old or over.
)ne can scarcely imagine Germany
making q provision Of this sort had
he been the victor. One has only to
ecall her ruthless annexation Of Al
IN 1870. There was no
revision made then for plebiscite in
fteen years.

SAYS HINES, RETURNING
Embarkation Chief Finds Comfort
Provided for 10000 Men There
Awaiting Ships.

Brig. Gen. Frank T.. Hines chief
of embarkation. who arrived in
Washington yesterday and reported
to Secretary Baker, after a trip
abroad. said conditions at the em-
barkation camp at Brest had so i'm
proved that there was no longer any
cause for anxiety.
When he came through Brest, Gen.
Hines said, there were 10000 men
there awaiting ships, and all of these
were comfortably housed in perIna-
nent quarters. The continual rains.
which have proved the greatest
source of trouble. were still in evil
dence. but the improved drainage
system had removed much of the
discomfort previously experienced.
Gen. Hines while in New York met
with the leaders of the striking har-
Dor employees. He told Secretary
Baker yesterday that he had been
given the promise that should the
strike continue every effort would
be made to prevent interference with
movement of troops and Army sun
plies. So long as such movement 4.
not impaired. it was said yesterday,
neither the War nor Navy depart
ment will take any active interest
in the New York harbor situation.

ON BOARD U. S. S. GEORGE WASH
INGToN, March 8. (by wireless to the

gathered by those who have come into
contact with President Wilson is that
the opposition which has developed
to the league Of nations covenant has
not caused him to decide that any
radical changes are necessary. 1t is
recognized that changes in phraseo-
1ogy and minor particulars are pos
sible. but it is understood that Presi-
dent Wilson is not looking for any
fundamental alteration.
Thus far the President has given lit
tie consideration to these questions.
