Q.-Does organized labor sympa-
thize with the movement for a five
day work week?
Ayes. Union painters, uphol-

tabIished the five-day week in sever
al cities. In stating its stand on the
Saturday half holiday, the 1919 con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor said: "The A. +. of l.. believes
that eight hours should be a maximum
workday so that with a five and one
half day week of "A hours. the Sat
urday half holiday would be a most
desirable achievement. In cases where
the work week can be reduced to less
than Al hours the A. F. of l.. be-
lieves it would be of advantage to the
worker to so have these hours dlstn-
buted as to provide for full Saturday
holiday, making the work week five
day week, still with maximum eight
hour day"

CALLING SEASON
 FOR BULL MOOSE
Mating Time Holds Forth From
 September to October
lBy Morris Ackermanl


 This Is the calling season for sthe bull moose.
 From about the tenth of Septem- Der until the tenth to fifteenth of October the mating season holds forth. At that time of the year the bull moose is listening intently for the feminine call.
 The Indian and his birch bark horn take full advantage of the op- portunity to lure the male to bog, barren or waters edge. Now is the "easy time" of moose hunting. For during the rut the woodland mon- arch casts discretion to the four winds.
 l, like many other moose hunters. have hunted far and wide. In the lowlands of Nova Scotia or along the timber lines of British Coum- bia there come some 30 days of the year where the wilderness lord is ever ready to answer the call. That time is now.
 have heard many callers, In- dians, whites and breeds. No two of them call alike. But in coun- try where moose are plentiful the results are the same. He will come to the call.
 Personally think that moose hunting during the calling season should be abolished by law. The big animal is shot under extremely unfair circumstances.
 However, the moose season is open in most Canadian provinces at least during part of the calling season. There is no doubt of certain thrill on the part of the hunter when the call is answered.
 From the time your guide re- ceives the first faint answer until the big bull, with massive horns, comes scraping through the bush into the open, this thrill is main- tained. It is a never-to- be forgotten moment, especially for the beginner.
 Your next trip after the calling season will be one of still-hunting, when the element of trickery is less pronounced.
 Then will come the hunt Of all hunts-over snow covered ridge and across frozen lake.
 But if it's the calling season you Want-now is the time.
