LABOR'S FIELD

The police and fremen's strike at
Quebec, Canada, was settled on the
citys terms. These include $1-a-
week increase to police and 70 cents
for firemen. The strikers agreed to
return to work at once.
The British Trades Union congress
declared that unemployment should
be direct charge on the industry
affected and that the responsibility
for unemployment should be borne
by industry.
The national committee Of the Span

At Montreal, several hundred union
job printers refused to renew their
contract expiring June 80, which calls
for $32 plus a 81 bonus for 48-hour
week. They demanded a 44-hour
week and straight $40 wage.
Unemployment is being gradually
reduced throughout Germany. The
number Of persons supported by the
state fell off 10000 in May to $4,000,
while partial support was being given
to 100000, according to official figures.
The federal house Of representa-

Thousands of unemployed Berlin
workmen entered the Labor Union as

The president Of the Labor Union as

ANNOUNCE DEEP SALARY CUTS
Independent Steel Companies VIII
Reduce Officials In Accordance With
Policy Of Retrenchment.

Announcement of deep salary cuts
was made by large Independent steel
companies In the Pittsburgh and
Youngstown districts, and according to
trustworthy information more drastic
slashes will be made at an early date.
These two reductions present the most
drastic action yet undertaken In the
steel industry In the policy of re-
trenchment, and offer fresh evidence
of the depression prevalent in the
trade.
The Brier Hill Steel company Of
Youngstown announced a Is per cent
reduction In the salaries Of all officials
and employees. The Jones and Laughlin
Steel company Of Pittsburgh abolished
all overtime, being the last Of the in
dependent steel companies to make
this change In working conditions.
Several weeks ago the payment Of
time and one-half for overtime was
eliminated by the Cambria Steel COM
pany, Youngstown Sheet & Tube COM
pany. Midvale Steel & Ordnance COM
pany and virtually all Of the other
Independent manufacturers. Most Of
them have also reduced salaries 10 to
Is per cent. James A. Campbell, presi-
dent Of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube
company, announced that no further
bonuses would be paid to officials Of
his company and added: salaries
also must be reduced. In view Of the
fact that they never were increased
in the same proportion as wages, the
cut necessarily will be felt more
severely"

THERE were also = numbe-per-
haps a goodly number, to employ a
phrase which has q high degree Of
popularity and currency-who were
not illustrious in the annals Of Merrie
England. They were not born in
castles. wore neither chain nor plate
armor nor slashed doublet of rare
velvet. They did not have armorial
calling list Of the College Of Heralds
and did not have their coat of arms
painted on the side of their new
automobile. III fact, to tell the dis
agreeable truth. they were not in
society. The Rambler does not feel
like jumping on them because OF
and a pedigree that would place
them on terms Of equality with a
pri3e-winning terrier. bull pup or
rabbit hound. He rather feels that
some Of these poor and lowly chaps
may. have been very good and useful
and that there Is a possibility. though
the Rambler will not commit himself
to this as fact, that some of these
poor fellows may have taken to
themselves charming and graceful
wives and have been blessed with
bright and pretty children. But they
did not have that thing which we
call a family" and that is a defect
which many, many thousands OF
American citizens, believing In Chris.
(tianity, democracy. republicanism and
liberty, equality and fraternity as we
do. can mover, never forgive.
Some Of those who came to Mary
land in the flrst two ships were very

which at this time amounted to about
six pounds sterling. entered into an
agreement or indenture to work out
their passage by service in the prov

became thus bound was four years
