and promised non-interference with
hospitals. .,
There was much discussion be-
tween Mr.. Pitblado, for the prosecu-
ton, and Mr.. Cassidy, for the de-
Tense, on the question of allowing
incendiary documents in the posses
sion OF the accused as evidence, but
the judge allowed their admission.
The principal one Of these was the
pamphlet describing the Seattle
strike, with statements from radical
leaders there. Cassidy urged that
there was nothing illegal in this, but
the judge insisted that attempts to
set one class against another were
contrary to law.
Two days later the question came
up Of the treatment Of the women
who had been involved in the strike.
but Justice Metcalfe ruled that thew
were liable to the same treatment az
the men, stating:
I'm these days, when women are
taking up special obligations and as
suming equal privileges with men, it
may be as well for me to state now
that women are just as liable as men
to ill-treatment in riot. They can
claim no special protection and are
entitled to no sympathy, and il they
stand and resist officers Of the law,
they are liable to be cut down."
On the 18th the Crown drew near
the end Of. its case. The first wit
ness was E. A. Mott, director Of
the Winnipeg General Hospital, who
told how Russell boasted Of the
strikers control over the industries
Of the city and the enforced suspen-
sion Of the press. The hospital, how
ever, was to get it's milk supply and
central depots opened for the sick
and babies. McMurray questioned
Mott about his connection With
the anti-striks citizens committee,
which he charged with publishing

~ trial r. B. Russell, the
chief of the leaders In the
general strike at Winni-
peg last May, was convicted there on
December "a. He was found guilty
on all the seven counts Of the indict
ment, tho first, charging "seditious
conspiracy; the next five various
overt acts, and the seventh "com-
hitting common nuisance"
This decision has established manv
important legal points relating to
strikes in Canada, according to JUS
ttce Metcalfs, who conducted the
trial: that it Is illegal to hold svm-
pathetic strikes; that 1t is Illegal to
commit acts that would endanger
citizens In general; that intimida-
tion during strike is illegal; also
picketing, under Canadian law.
The trial was conducted with re-
markable speed, and at first three
sessions Of court day were held.

Der 3, however, the night sessions

TRAVELLERS returning from Eu-

World In pre-war times Invariably
complain Of the marked deteriora-
ton Of public manners as compared
with those Of five years ago. The
phenomenon is observable every
where in England and France, az
well as In Germany and in the
smaller countries; but it is espe-
cially striking in the better restau-
rants, hotels and stores Of Paris
and London, where formerly the
very highest standards of courtesy
prevailed. Various explanations.
mostly interconnected,. have been

London championship in feminine

London championship in feminine
bad looks.
The contest, perhaps the first Of
it's kind in history, was recently held
under the auspices of one Mr.. De
Biere, theatrical manager, who
needed particularly homely per-
son for new production. And such
is the fascination Of fame and the
attraction Of a possible stage ca
reer that not less than thirty women
entered the ,lists-to be sure, by
mailed application. However, when
the applicants had to face jury
Of newspaper men why these
should be better judges Of home
liness than any other professionals
is not explained-only eight Of the
original number mustered the pluck
to appear. Whether their motive
was excessive vanity or an excessive
lack of it should be left for the
psychologist to decide. The facts
of the case are. reported in sThe
London Daily News" as follows:
"The remarkable fact was that
only three Of the eight received any
votes, and one Of the competitors
was actually offered position IN
the beauty chorus by Mr.. De Biere,
who has been advertising for the
ugliest woman in London to assist
him in a new production.

"Then there are 'in-laws' of both
sexes living in rooms in, town. They
make a. point of coming to see us
regularly. We are glad to see them.
: Make no mistake about that. We

it never seems to strike them that
even the modest way in which we en-
terrain costs money. They must be
hard up, too, for it never occurs to
them to ask myself and my wife to
little dinner in town, which would
vary the monotony and relieve the
financial strain of being popular at

the defense, summed up his case.
speaking abou. three hours and a
half, often getting into clashes with
the Judge. He denied the Crowns
charges, claiming that the evidence
proved that it was "outrageouslv
absurd" to say that there was a sedi-
tious conspiracy. He maintained
that a general sympathetic strike
was perfectly legal, but that made
no difference in this case, as Russell
had only acted as the agent Of the
unions that had voted it.
( A. ]. Andrews, senior counsel for
the prosecution, began his summary
on the morning of the 23d. He be-
gan by stating that there was no
question as to the legality of the in
dictment, as the Judge had upheld it.
Words are seditious when they tend
to provoke breach of the peace, he
asserted. Russell had not been
charged with trying to overthrow
the government, but with trying to
bring about unrest which might ulti-
mately cause this. AS for the COM
mission Of a common nuisance, this
lis defined in the criminal code as
anything that "endangers the life,
health, or safety Of the public" AS
for public utilities striking, it was
criminal to break a contract while
knowing that the breaking might
endanger human life.

masters" With the Socialist
party's hints at violence, without
any mention< Of the ballot, it was
foolish to urge that their propaganda
was purely political. Sowing hatred
among employees against their en-
ployers was like the PAM German
policy of inflaming hate against
England long before "The Day"
The Socialist manifestoes openly
urged abolition of the bourgeois
family system" along with the rise
Of class consciousness, although no
better families could be found than
those Of Canadian wprkingmen.
Russell andfhis friends advocated all
this in order to become the Lenines
and Trotzkys Of Canada.
In his charge to the jury Justice
Metcalfe said it was albright to SYM
pathize with it, but not to advocate
its introduction into Canada. If the
Jury thought an attempt to intro
duce it would mean breach of the
peace, it. would be- seditious con-
piracy. Attempts to introduce col
lective bargaining were illegal if
.lsed to make it. easier for, those. un-
'awfully controlling labor to tie up
che country from coast to coast.
Russell was found guilty on all the
seven counts charged, but was. not
sent to prison, being set free until
sentence should be pronoupeed, ON
gassidy's request, seconded by An
tlrews.
The defense decided to appeal, on
the ground of flaws in. the indict-
n1ent, objections to challenges in Sc
Letting the jury and admission Of
evidence. Justice Metcalfe and Mr..
Andrews volunteered every assist
ance to. bring the case up. to the
Court OF Appeals. The case prob
ably will be considered by the Mani
toba Court Of Appeals soon. The
other seven leaders will not be tried
individually, a IA Russell's cass, but
