OPEN SHOP DRIVE
 BELIEVED MANNING
Photo-engraYers' Union Speaker
 Makes Declaration

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 15.-Belief that
 he movement of American capital to- ward return to open shop condi-
 | tions is on the wane was expressed
 by Matthew Woll, president of the
 photo -engravers union in an address
 opening the unions annual convention
 here today. 4
 President Woll declared that the open shop movement, together with
 the campaign for reduction of wages,
 had materially intensified the present industrial depression by adding to the instability of general conditions. He expressed confidence, however, that the near future would bring harmon ious relations between employers and employees. Both factions, he declared, were at present sincere in their de- sire to co-operate towards evolving working agreements that would be fair in the light of changed condi- tions.
 Wage reductions, he said. could play but a small part in securing any understanding between the two par ties ds they involved the admission that remuneration of workers should fiuctuate about the cost of living 2 doctrine to which labor could not assent.
 Organized labor" said MT. Woll, stands for harmonious cooperation between employing and employed in- terests and repudiates the doctrine of class hatred. But it does not admit that profits should accrue merely to the one class and a bare existence be Returned to the other.' Indications pointing to an adjust ment of labor dissensions were plen- tiful MT. WoH continued. The em p1oyer. harrassed by trade depression Lad not he said, been the most com pliant person with which to negotiate. Now, however, he had found that the worker was not to be led into ac- cepting shop councils and compulsory arbitration schemes and was willing to negotiate with the unions for the establishment of as fair a basis as lifficult conditions would admit. The worker too, he declared, was anxious to do all in his power towards assisting the recovery of business conditions and would be found ractable party to agreements that would allow him to retain the rela- l tive advances made during the past years
 Mr. Woll scored some American publishers who, he declared, were at tempting to enforce the AS hour week m spite of their A hour agreements. He urged that the engravers support the printers in their A hour fight. During the war;" he said, the printers had the opportunity of re- ,udiating. their agreements and de- manding wage increases, but they did | lid not do so. Now, however, the employers are teaching the men that T contract means nothing"

GERMANY's DISARMAMENT.

The report comes from alleged au- thoratative sources, that Germany has practically finished disarming The French and Belgians object to the ceasing of the Inter-al1ied commits sion, saying that the good results ac- complisfed would be lost if perman- ent control is not continued.
 The English and italians believe that safety would be assured if now left to the League of Ma tions, while the Bremen feel that the far-distant nations and the neutral nations might prevent the arrange rnents that they and the Belgians con- sider necessary to their safety.
 The situation is quite a natural one. It will be many years before France and Belgium, the greatest sufferers from the war, will feel safe because of their locations, no matter what precautions are taken. People of those countries will feel always that there, in Germany, lies hidden power which may spring forth at any time with unlocked for vigor to de- vour them.
 It would seem that the obedience of Germany to the commands to dis arm. and the apparent belief of dis iuterssted military observers in Ger

"BLOCk DANCES"

On the authority of police woman it may be said that block parties. with thousands dancing on the streets inn prove the reputation of dancing.
 Whether or not dancing has any sort of reputation" good or bad whether the word may be used in this sense-is quite /beside the question. The meaning is clear. Moreover it would seem that the esteemed police woman was right.
 While in no sense may block parties be called neighborhood affairs, they do make toward friendliness and under proper arrangements. should Do made into an enjoyable means of pleasure for young people.
 While by no means advocating a dignified aloofness, 1t is well for a crowd of young people well acquaint- ed with each other, to attend such affairs in body, and their dancing is apt to be among those they know. This city is a bit too large to permit of indescriminate dancing,A and the dancers are aware of that fact. At a time when expense of good clothes must be considered, they should become more popular and, as they do become popular, great care should be taken that they are the sort of block parties which will improve i the "reputation' of dancing, and not harm the reputation of those who dance. A young chap does not mind dancing at a block party even though he has not been able to secure the most smart suit at the special time | of year when it is held. Similarly, it is to be presumed, with a girl.
 Although we are looking ahead fol the good times that are sure to come nevertheless, it will be quite a whil
 before we will be able to spend none. as 1avishly as formerly. Amusem ent which are free or which cost littl
 will be popular, therefore, and no on
 should be ashamed to admit this caus
 of their popularity. The best thing t do, in such a case, is to make thos free or inexpensive entertainments a
 enjoyable and as decent as possible
 Smile and have a good time. and cul
 tivate the feeling that the measur
 of the good time need not be made i dollars and cents.

GUEST RUMINATIN'
(RObert Russell)

If a man is allus frownin' when you meet him on the street; don't judge too, quick He may have some awful bun ions on his worn out, wearied feet; he may be sick. It is true he ought to grin an bear Lis physical defects; bu: nc'erthelesa
 It is possible his troubles are the sort hia frown reflects you'd never guess
 How much worse tho awful worries O. another seems to him, than those you've got; He may even be a-strugglin' on with artificial limbs = which you have not. So it isn't any reason, cause the men you meet may frown, you do the same; For the woman dressed in smilin' silk or canton crepe smart gown may play the game,

JUDGE CRITICISES
 RAILWAY EXPRESS
filling Charges Use of Court As
 Collection Agency

At a hearing on the theft charges preferred against James Ministigan by the American Railway Express com pany before Judge B.. w. filling to- day in police court, the judge had oc- casion to censure the express com pany for what he claimed was an ef- fort to use the criminal side of the court as collection agency.
 Evidence presented to support the allegation that Ministigan had taken a package of coffee valued at $10.25 disclosed that representative of the company had agreed to accept pay ment from Ministigan in lieu of his arrest. This procedure, Road Agent R. Francis said, was the common practice, three such proposals being made in each case.
 After accepting a motion for dis charge made by Lawyer David L. Nair who represented the accused, Judge filling remarked:
 II dislike very much the whole ap- pearance of this case. The railway man goes to work and says: Pay for the coffee or you'll be arrested I don't like to see the criminal side of this court used as a collection agency as is here attempted.
 The accused was employed up to last November as driver for the company. In September a shipment of coffee was received from the Quinn by company of Boston, George Sat- alino who conducts a store at 61S East street, being the consignee. Rec ords tt the Pittsfield office show the delivery papers signed with the name of Satalino. The storeman, however, claims that he never received the goods. AS a result an investigation was instituted.
 Ministigan was approached by Agent Francis and MT. Trouette of the local office. The matter of pay ing for the claims already settled by the company was preached and upon his refusal to settls he was arrest ed. The accused maintained that he had delivered the goods to the store and in the absence of the owner had personally signed the delivery sheet at the request of Satalino's daughter.

CARUSO AND "MATTY."


 In every civilized country on the earth the death of Caruso was mourn ed-is still being mourned-by those who had heard him. And few there were claiming any cultivation at all, who had not heard of the greatest singer of his time, the greatest of all time, perhaps.
 Possibly there were more people in this country than III any other who felt deeply their loss and the loss to the world when silence came to his well-nigh immortal voice. For long time the mechanical records of his voice will be in demand and wierd, sentimental interest in them will be added to the actual value of those lit tie disks which are all that remain to bring to us vividly the tones of his human, powerful expression.
 But there lives a man of America ', who has been seen-not heard--by millions of people. Most Of them know him only by his art as e has shown it to them, and by the fair, sportsmanlike manner of his conduct when in and out of the public eye He is man to whom those interested in sports-those interested in upright ness m any sphere of life - point to as a model.
 Christopher Mathewson, one of the greatest of all baseball pitchers has been near the point of death in his retreat among tha mountains. At first came the reports of his sickness that shocked all, then a. few semi hopeful, semi depressing stories-then silence.
 For long time there has been silence and many have wondered.
 Now comes the report that Chris ty's' forty-flrst birthday was one of the happiest days of his life. He seems to be on the road to recovery. He, his wife and child, spent the day together-and were happy in the faith they held in his chance of living.
 From small lad to old man, there will be rejoicing in this country. The millions who have seen and know him or who know of him-each feels that 'Matty," Big Six belongs to him that he is one he knows intimately the sort he could talk to and to whom he could be friend. His art was in his physical skill-his fine traits of character were apart from his profes- sion, but a real part of the great pitcher.
 Fine as Caruso may have been as a man, he is popularly thought of as the possessor of the wonderful voice -as the singer he is mourned
 There is joy over the evidences of improved conditions of the health of Mathewson not only because he was the great pitcher - for his pitching days are over no matter to what de- gree his health returns-but because of the fine, straight, clean life he not realize it, he is loved Because of that he holds an enviable place in the hearts of the people who remem- Der him on the diamond, on the coacher's bench.
 Had Caruso come in contact with the American people in the same way as did Mathewson, that same love might have been for him-tIie love of the people who could understand Mathewson. but to whom Caruso was mystery.
 All will watch for a continuation ir the improvement of Big Six" and fol mOurned.
