Railways in Canada
Fire Large Numbers
of Workers in Shops

MoNTREi,r The Canadian unem-
ployment pl s,lem is being seriously
increased by the large number of
men now being laid off by the rail
ways. Four hundred shopmen have
been laid off here by the Canadian Ma
tional, while thruout central Canada
the number laid off by that railway
is stated to be nearly 1000. Several
thousand are also to be laid off by
the Canadian Pacific, the employees
having voted for reduction in staff
rather than in working time.
A new phase of the problem has
arisen by the appeal to the minister
of railways by the secretary of the
Canadian National federation Of rail
way employees asking him to take up
the question Of employment. The
federation has suggested that the re-
conditioning of engines and cars for
future use would provide more work.

And now the Standard Oil Company Of Indiana has
established DEATH BENEFIT plan for it's $4,000

The Standard Oil Company understands the import
of RIGHT labor policy. Did not Walter C.
Teage, chief Of the New Jersey wing of Standard,
rob developing strike of his workers both of it's
first and second wind by adrotIy using the Republic
Of Labor to throw oil on the troubled waters? TeagIe
said to his workers at the time that he sincerely
wished they would not strike because he needed their
cooperation to tide the company over "very critical
situation"
This Critical situation" afterwards discovered
to be the chng from the workers of the largest first
quarterly dividend since 1918.

adult male clerks is $3.50 and SIS for
adult females. Where females are EN-.
ployed in the same capacity as males

RUSS EMIGRES

Port Arthur Deal

WASHINGTON, Oct. g.
Russian emigres who have
found fashionable refuge in
Washington, are reminded of

LEGATION of a detailed account of
the agreement of the Japanese
imperial government to pay to
the late General StoesseI, who
surrendered Port Arthur to
Japan and thereby made Japan
a world power, the sum of TO-
100000 pounds sterling $780,
ooo,ooo.)
A copyrighted story from the
Paris bureau of the Chicago
Daily News, printed in the
Washington Star, gives them
the savory morsels of this affair
as set forth by a millionaire as
sociate of J. Pierpont Morgan,
who was asked by an English
man to buy share in the claim
of General Stoessel's widow
against the Japanese govern
ment.
For Tokyo did not pay for the "act
to be performed by Gen. Stoessel,"
mentioned in the agreement which
turned up in London after the world
war. 1t is explained that the Japanese
embassy officials in London agreed
that the document was genuine, but
inasmuch as Stoessel had died, and
no promise to pay his heirs was found
in the bargain, and no proof as to the
character of "act" was found, the
whole incident was closed.
Diplomatic Washington sees a nice
point in this deal. If only the Soviet
Union can be overturned, and Grand
Duke Cyril be restored to the throne
of the czars, then Nine. Stoessel's
claim can be put up to Japan as an
issue on which the diplomats and sol
diers can get new credit. And it gives
new cause for their anxiety lest Mos
COW and Tokyo make a treaty which
will wipe out all past claims, includ-
ing those based on treachery such as
this story seems to prove.

RICH PALMER ESTATE
STEALS S514,OOO FROM
CTTYS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The Board Of Education says:
"cut the teachers salaries, increase
the size of the classes, cut the
teaching staff to the minimum"
The teachers say: "stop tax-fx-
ing and tax-dodgIne."
Both the teachers and the bust
ness men and manufacturers on the
board Of education admit that there
is an alarming shortage of funds
with which to run the public
schools. The business men want to
make up the deficit by cutting SAL
airy rates, firing 1900 of the teach
ers, pIatoonine the schools to avoid
having to get more class rooms.
The teachers know that the
trouble lies with graft among the
ranks Of the school officiaIdom,
with the failure Of rich corporations
to pay their taxes, with the willing
ness of chlcago's city admInistra-
tion to let the tax-fixlna 90 on.

the immigration law. The charge was
that he had served time in the Unit

ed a year for participation in a tex
tile strike in Little Falls, N. Y, in
1913, but held that this section OF the
immigration law applied only TO Of

charge Notwithstanding. An appeal
