tain's triple alliance of labor will

railway mems union said after this
mornings meeting.
THE walkout," he declared. will

services essential to the life of the
community.
I'm anv settlement which may be
reached the government will give
support in securing that the posi-
ton of such workers shall not be
preiudiced as compared with their
position before the stoppage."

strike announcement Premier Lloyd
George stated in the house of COM
mons that the situation thus created
was of great and increasing grav-
ity" but he still hopes that wiser
counsels might prevail.

Say at Busy Session.

Joint Sewer.
OLD TAX ELIMINATED

There was more the atmosphere
pf a court than of a health depart
ment at the regular meeting OF the
Board Of Health last night when at
torneys, plaintiffs and defendants all
had their say and the board rendered
a decision to the limit of its power.
Perhaps the most important action
was the eliminating of the twenty
five cent tax which was levied sew
eral years ago and which has been
paid ever since on each head of live
stock slaughtered at the abbatoir.
Some time ago. the board received
a petition signed by several butchers
of this city, asking that this tax be
discontinued since which time. the
matter has been receiving considera.
ton. 1t was claimed at the time OF
the presentation of the petition. that
the tax was illegal and that this was
no. challenged last night when the
decision of discontinuance was made.
The revenue from this tax. however,
vert toward the cost for covering
the inspection at the slaughter house
and will be considered by the board.
Residents of sos and 597 Charles
street, were out in full force at the
meeting continuing the case of the
Joint sewer which has been used
by both parties and which has been
rendered a decision three times In
the local court within the past few
years. Upon explanation. it devolv-
ed that sos and 597. neighbors. each
had a sewer pipe which flowed into
a common pipe in the alley and
thence to the main line on the street.
From all indications. 597, as the re-
suit of family feud of some kind,
stopped up 595's pipe at its connec-
ton with the common main, claim
ing that the latter was entirely upon
their own property. The result has
been a very unsanitary condition be-
