Some parts of the world are changing
their positions
Perhaps the most interesting case is
that Of Greenland Two Danish scien-
lists have been investigating and their
results show that the country is NOV
ing TO the west at the rate of about
twenty yards year Two other OBJ
servations, one taken in 1870 and the
other In 1907, showed difference of
roughly 1910 yards.
Another portion of the globe which Is
altering It's position Is the North pole
Owing to the small area OF the pole
1t Is about the size of tennis court
observation Is difficult, but two OBJ
servatories have reported that II is
moving slowly to the north. 1t Is also
stated that the coast of Labrador is ris-
ing from the sea-.
Many authorities declare that both
the poles are moving, and that this al
teration to the worlds axis will mean
In time that regions which are now
frozen will become warm and habita-

COMPANY "UNION"
Criticised BY National Cath
Olic Welfare Council

Washington-Bec labor unions
are substituted for company unions"
in the industrial peace" plan of Col
lier's Weekly, this scheme is criti-
cised by the national department of
social action, national Catholic well
fare council
Golfers Weekly prepared the pro-
gram with the help of its readers.
According to its planks the workers
should get living wage and contin-
uous employment and their working
rules should encourage greater pro-
duction, which will make for higher
wages, according to the authors. To
secure this, the workers of each plant,
district or industrial unit should meet
the managers to confer about wages,
working and business conditions and
production Business facts are to be
made public and arbitration will settle
disputes.
All this is to be based on the rule
of service. The managers, owners AMI
money lenders are not to profiteer,
cut wages or reduce production.
Neither are they to gamble
on production and they are to remove
waste in their business.
The department of social action is
not impressed with this program. The
church men say:
"The platform disregards the labor
union and puts all the stress on either
local or company unions as the means
the workers are to use to get decent
wages and continuous employment.
This puts them at a disadvantage,
since they would not be strengthened
by the help of the others in their trade
and industry, and they would not have
skilled and independent bargainers to
speak for them They could not bring
enough pressure to get decent wages
and continuous employment"

REAL ESTATE BOARD
Makes Tour of Inspection
Through Ford Plant

The Hamilton Real Estate Board
mas mapped out program of educa-
tion for its members which it is now
carrying out. The purpose is to ac-
quaint the members thoroughly in
everything pertaining to and concern
ing Hamilton. The educational pro-
gram includes series of trips
through all the city's principal indus
trial plants so that members will be
conversant with the industrial situa-
tion and just exactly what the city
produces, and in that manner be in
position to talk intelligently on the
subject when discussing it, especially
with strangers with whom members
of the board come in contact often in
the handling of real estate. AS one
member said: at is we'll to know
your own town first and know it so
well that you know what you are talk
ing about when approaching the other
fellow, and that's the purpose of our
campaign-a campaign of education"
Following out the program, on We'd
nesday following the regular weekly
meeting held at the Y. M. c. A,
about forty members and friends pill
ed into automobiles and made the trip
to the Ford plant The party was met
at the plant by Mr. O. F. Anderson,
general manager of the local Ford
plant. Mr.. Anderson gave the real
estators warm welcome, and after all
piled up their overcoats, started with
Mr.. Anderson in the lead on thorough
tour of inspection of the immense
big plant. Mr. Anderson went to
great pains to explain explicitly to the
visitors the workings of this most
wonderful modern Ford plant.
One hears much of the Ford plants
throughout the country, but to appre-
ciate them correctly they must be
seen. The processes in the model
local plant are most interesting.
over l0UU men are now employed
there and more are being added
daily Mr.. Anderson stated that
more than 100 of the many parts
entering into the manufacture of Ford
cars are made in Hamilton and ship
ped to all parts of the world.
The trip through the plant took
nearly two hours. After thanking
Mr.. Anderson for the courtesies shown
the visitors left feeling richly reward
ed for the time spent in making the
trip.
The committee in charge of the trip
for the realtors were T. NJ Regan,
William Rigling and Charles Sloneker.

PULLED C0MRADE TO SAFETY
cued His Playmate From Wheels
OF Speeding Train.

The Airedale who saved the life of
his mate, large setter, by snatching
him off the railway tracks near Gin
cinnati only an instant before B. &
o. train whizZed over the spot, per-
formed very remarkable and heroic
act. There can be no question about
this, says Our Dumb Animals. There
were at least two reliable witnesses of
the rescue who reported the facts,
which were substantially as follows:
Both dogs belonged TO one owner.
They had been inseparable compan-
ions. The setter was subject to fits,
and when the locomotive gave its
warning whistle he was suddenly
stricken and dropped between the
rails paralyzed. The Airedale was q
smaller dog, but quick and wiry. All
of his breed are fast workers. The
Airedale grasped the situation instinc-
lively, If you must have 1t SO, but with
every indication of rapid reasoning
His mental processes prompted him to

over the rail, not a second too soon,
and then down the decliviry TO safe
place; there to revive him from coma
by licking him with his tongue. The
account Of this rescue at once stirred
up the old controversy of instinct
versus reason in the dog among psy
biologists and dog fanciers. 1t is our
opinion that one need not be either Of
these to discern and determine intelli-
gence and reason in the animal that
has associated himself closest with
