The report was based on a study

during the last IS years, which was
made to learn whether similar act
can be applied TO labor controversies
in the United States.
The Canadian act prohibits declara-
ton of strike or lockout in mines,
transportation systems or other public
utility industries until a report on the
dispute has been made by a board of
conciliation and investigation.
The report shows that in 536 dis
putes handled under the act 400
strikes were ended or averted, while
during the 1S-year period there were
425 strikes in which the act was COM
pletely ignored. On Canadian rail-

policy of coercion pursued by govern

similar laws. The Canadian expert

Wicked Age" The play is said to
be of Miss Vests writing. and it is
billed as a 'comedy-drama in three

Perhaps it would have been better
to have called the thing a comic

might be expected next. Resorting
frequently to the vulgar, often both
ordinary and cheap. it has. neverthe'

wit. 1t is much more difficult to tell
what the play is all about than to
suggest remedies.
