PROPOSED CANADIAN LABOR
LEGISLATION
Tuesday,

A report from Ottawa, Canada,
states that unqualified approval
of the principle Of collective bar
gaining and an eight hour day,
together with other far-reaching
recommendations as to changes
in Canada's industrial system,
are included in a majority report
of the Commission on Industrial
Relations which was presented to
the House of Commons yesterday.
It appears that the commission
was appointed for the purpose Of
investigating the causes Of the
industrial unrest which has recent
ly manifested itself throughout
Canada. Following are the princi
pal recommendations made by
the report: An eight hour day; a
weekly rest of at least twenty
four hours; a minimum wage
especially for women, girls, and
unskilled labor; government ac-
ton to relieve unemployment thru
the erection Of public works; gov
eminent aid in the building of
workers homes restoration Of
full liberty Of speech and press !;
and the establishment of a bu-
reau for the promotion Of indus
trial councils to bring employers
and workers together. Recon-
mendation was also made in the
report for an inquiry by experts
as to the practicability Of estab-
fishing a system Of State insur-
anle against sickness, unemploy-
ment, and old age. The report
states that many employers agree
with the workers as to the need
Of changes in the basis of indus
try, but that there is difference
OF opinion as to the best meth
DDS for accomplishing the desir
ed end.

So says a friend Of ours named Velvet Joe.
And he just about hits the nail on the head.
Velvet is made for men who think there's
no smoke like real tobacco. If you are that
sort of man, listen
Velvet was born in old Kentucky, where
more than one good thing comes from. 1t was
raised as carefully as any other Kentucky
thoroughbred But the real secret of Velvers
friendly qualities is its slow natural ageing in
wooden hogsheads. Ageing in the wood
never hurt anything-=and least of all, tobacco.
And so we say Velvet is good tobacco
nothing more or less. t runs second to
none

Caught With Tho Good.

Thursday evening Jay Miller &C
companied by Cecil Jones, took his
fathers Franklin and went down the
creek fishing. Along the way man
by the name of Berry and two women
asked the boys for ride. Jay took
them down the road about four miles
and let them out. The boys left the
car by the road and went on to fish.
1t was not until the next morning
when Mr.. Miller was looking over his
car that he discovered that his gloves,
revolver and an inner tube were miss
ing. When questioned, Jay knew
nothing about the lost articles. Mr..
Miller Immediately started with Cecil
Jones after the thieves. He found
the man and women at the foot OF
the first hill beyond A. X. Stevens.
AS he drove up to them he noticed
one woman throw something into the
brush. He searched them but found
nothing. While Cecil went to phone
for the sheriff, Mr.. Miller discovered
his revolver among the sage brush.
Tho man then produced the gloves
and took Mr.. Miller across to Earl
Mullins store at lola. where he had
sold the inner tube for S1.50. As
they had no money. Mr.. Miller did
not order their arrest. A few days

The specific gravity OF water and

A body in the water is supported by
equal pressure at all points. 1t Is
