SEEK FOR BURIED TREASURE
Canadians Believe They Have a De,
vice That Will UnfaiIingIy Dis
close Concealed -Hoards.

Pinning their faith on the powers
Of a newly-invented device for the
detection of gold deposits, Andrew
Cullins, a well-knOwn prospectOr Of
Haileybury Canada, and Rev. Father
Theriault of the same town plan a
trip to the South Pacific islands to
search for buried treasure, according
to a joint statement they made recent
ly in Ottawa. 1t was said that the
trip was being financed by New York
capitalist, whose name was not dis
closed, and the fortune seekers were
to confer with him before setting off
on the long hunt.
A test of the machine was said to
have been made recently in Toronto
by hiding gold coins in house, and
the device indicated the presence of
the money.
According to the report of friends
of Mr.. Cullins, the invention, if it
proves successful, will be of more
value in a search such as is planned
than in indicating gold locations in
the mining districts, because in search
ing for gold-bearing veins it will not
determine the quantities or depth at
which the metal would be found, and
therefore the operators would not
know whether it would be in sufficient
quantities to justify development
This is given as the reason of the
inventor in searching for hidden treas
ure from foundered ships or buried by
pirates in the South Sea islands.

Must Insure Workers

The New York state industrial COM
mission gave warning that it would
prosecute employers who ignored the
wOrkmen's compensation law and
failed to take out insurance for their
employees. Conviction may carry a
years Imprisonment or a fine Of
$1,000, or both.
"a large number of awards to in
jured workmen and to widows and
orphans cannot be collected" said Ber-
nard L. Shientag, counsel to the com
mission, because employers have neg
lected to carry compensation insur-
ance and in many cases are financially
unable themselves to make payment"

A campaign against the beluga, or
white whale, was recently started
from Douarnenez to Concarneau, in
Brittany, by the French Oceanographic
society, in which nets and poison
tubes were used. The beluga, pest Of
the fisherman, is generally cream
white in color, feeds mainly on marine
fish and commits ravages among the
shoals. The average length of the
adult male is about eighteen or twenty
feet. To hunt down the white whale
net 100 yards long was set up at
Douarnenez, while another was placed
in a suitable position by the fishermen
at Concarneau. Furthermore, the skip
pers of the sardine boats used 1900
Yves Delage poison tubes against the
belugas.

GOmpers Explains LabOr's Stand
on Question Long in
Dispute.
WORKERS RIGHT TO BARGAIN
in Union shop, Says Head Of AmerI-
can Federation, the Employees Are
Free Men, While the Reverse Is
True Where the Right Of organlza-
tlon Is Denied.

''The symposium for union shop
and 'nOn-uniOn shop respectively, are
democracy and 'autocracy,'" accord
ing to President Samuel Gompers Of
the American Federation of Labor, in
an editorial column of the Federation
ist, official organ of the federation,
making public the stand of labor on
the "Open" shop proposition, which
was Endorsed recently after a refer
endum by the United States cham
Der Of commerce.
'In the union shop" writes Mr..
Gompers, ''the workers are free men.
They have the right Of organizing in
trade unions and for bargaining col
lectively with their employers
through Representatives of their own
choosing.
Employees in the non-union shop
are like dogs in a machine. They
have nothing to say as to the condi-
tions under which they will work, but
must accept any wages, hours and
working conditions that may be fixed
arbitrarily by the employer.
"a non-union man who accepts en-
ployment in a union shop has the
privilege of joining the union, which
has a voice in determining with en-
plOyers the wages, hours and condi-
tions of work. He is given time in
which to make application, If he so
desires.
'Not union man, If known, is per-
mitted by the employers to work in
non-union shop.
'MOst relentless propaganda has
been used to discredit the union shop
and to hold up to the public the great
benefits of the non-uniOn shop. No
more malicious misrepresentation Of
desirable condition in industry was
ever launched. 1t began in the early
1905 when a number Of asso-
Citations were formed to destroy
the trade union movement. Law
yers were employed to travel the
country, delivering addresses, all of
which were confined to denunciatiOn
of labor organizations. The most
venomous charges were made against
them.
"When labor sought the enactment
Of laws providing for compulsory
education, it was such men who
fought them most viciously. The lat
ter believed If the children of the
workers were permitted to go to
school that when they grew older
they would demand better conditions
of employment than their fathers. It
\ Ms for the same reason they have been
and are now demanding the non-union
shop"

British Labor Takes New Stand.

The British labor council seems to
be toning down its stand with regard
to soviet Russia. The body has an
nounced that it never had intended
to call a general strike as demon
stration against war with Russia. This
attitude is believed to be due to the
many protests received by the coun-
Gil from trade unions against being
involved in any political strike. 1t is
predicted that, having shot its bolt,
the council now will be allowed gradu,
ally to fade away.

nIann Union Refused charter.


No charter has been issued the Ha-
waiian Federation of Labor, which
called the strike early this year Of la
borers on the sugar plantations Of
the island of Oahu, nor is it intended
to issue one, says letter which has
been received by the Honolulu local
of the Marine Engineers Beneficial
association from Frank Morrison, ma
tional secretary of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Recently the Homo
lulu branch of the Marine Engineers
association passed a resolution pro-
testing against the issuance of a
charter to the Japanese labor organ
ization by the national body at Wash
ington. The resolution pointed out
that the federation is an alien one,
and that it is controlled by Jap
anese.
