CITES U. S. SUCCESS
AS CANADA EXAMPLE

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 1~5.-Success of
the former United States war labor
board in handling 1,245 controversies
and bringing about many adjustments
between employers and workers, was
cited by w. Jett Lauck, its secretary,
at the National Industrial conference Of
Canada, here today, as a reason for
the formation OF a similar body to han
die postwar labor and industrial prob
lens.
Maintenance Of a national labor board
and its staff by joint contributions OF
employers and employees when capital
and labor ave become more complete
ly organized" was advocated by the
speaker, who said such a body would
help to "democratize industry"
Mr., Lauck recommended the adop-
ton of a program, including a national
industrial conference or congress sim
liar to the present one; the creation
Of a national labor board as a court
of last resort" in controversies involv-
ing principles of policies and similar
district and local boards in basic in
dustries with final jurisdiction as to
wages or working conditions" and
finally. of boards Of production in
each industry ito formulate and agree
upon proper methods Of increasing pro-
duction and decreasing labor costs"

BOTH SIDES IN BRITISH STRIKE
 STANDING FIRM
By Associated Press

London, September 30.--The fourth day of the railway strike closes with the position of the struggle unchanged. Neither side has made any approach toward the resumption of negotiations, both are showing an equal determine ton not to yield.
 There has been no extension of the strike to other industries. but James Henry Thomas, secretary of the union. has announced his readiness to accept help from other trades unions and a manifesto was issued from the trans port federation tonight which foreshad- owed to probable decision to call q strike tomorrow on the ground that the government action is an attack on the principles of trade unionism. which il is imperative the workers should pro. tect
 There is evidence of unrest and irri tation among the eleetrical workers a the success of the amateurs and volun l teers working in the large power sta ton in London whereby part of th' underground electric railways was en abled to start operation and there Ii some apprehension that the eiectrica workers may be called out.
 After a joint meeting of the executives of the national union of railwaymen and transport workers federation, the latter organization issued an official statement to the effect that reports from 3S unions comprised in the federation show taa' 100, 900 members of the federation are al ready affected by the railroad strike and that therefore the position is rapidly oa' coming untenable.
 The executive realizes, the statement adds, the impossibility of restraining -he members from drastic strike action 1T support of the railway men and that they will stop at nothing in order to defend the long established principles of trfde unionism and the right to defend wages constitutionally secured.
 I've have arranged meeting of the unions concerned for tomorrow the statement continues.
