VANCOUVER
Warns JObless 1t Has No
Work For Them

Vancouver, B. c., U. L. N. So
The Vancouver city council has voted
money to send IAN official through the
prairie provinces and arrange for
the display of posters bearing such
warnings as:
Keep away from Vancouver: no
work there" Vancouver has enough
unemployed: the city will not grant
relief to unemployed coming from
other places"
Such was the reaction of the city
council to the Baldwin government
scheme to send 10000 idle British min
ers to Canada to work at the harvest
ing, scheme to which the Dominion
Government consented in the under
standing that the British government
would guarantee the return to Britain
of any of these miners left stranded
after the harvest. The provincial gov
ernments declined any responsibility
for these immigrants after the har-
vest.
The tragedy of the unemployed sit
uation in England is illustrated by the
case of one miner who arrived in Can
ada in borrowed suit of clothes and
sc cents in his pockets, 55 of which
he made by betting on boxing matches
during the passage.

LABOR DAY OUTING
Draws Record Breaking Crowd and Stamps Thirtysxth
Annual Celebration Most Successful in History
Committee Praised For Good Work

Organized labor's thirty-sixth an
nual Labor Day celebration and out
ing at the fairgrounds last Monday,
under the auspices of the Hamilton
COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, goes on record as one of the most
successful of any in the long history
of the local trade union movement.
The weather, though fair and
clear, was just a little bit too cool
for picnic service, especially so for
the drink and ice cream stands,
though it seemed to put lots of pep
in the people making up the huge
crowd present. Though there is
never much doing in the morning
hours, they started coming early, and
in all kinds of vehicles and convey
ances and afoot until during the
afternoon it was estimated one of
the largest crowds ever on the ground
during the daytime was present. The
ten big running races on the track
in the program of the Hamilton
Jockey Club proved wonderful at
traction, bringing thousands of visit
ors from Middletown, Dayton, Cincin-
natl and the surrounding territory.
And despite the many other at
fractions of the day outside the fair
grounds there was an enormous
crowd on the grounds in the evening

well as all branches of labor under A.

The charter takes in employees of
theatres, circuses, carnivals, operas,
lectures, athletic exhibitions and other
forms of amusement.
The nucleus of it's membership was
group of about seventy who split off
from the Theatrical Press Representa-
tives of America after that body had
voted down proposal to seek an A.
F. of L. charter and demand a con-
tract from producers. The older or
ganization had a membership of about
1875, it is said, which means that many
members were won over to the union
idea after the vote was taken.

new PRESS AGENTS.
Union Makes Theatre 100
Per Cent Organized

New York City, Ct. L. N. S.).-With
the organization of a press agents
union, the theatrical folk are now 100
per cent organized.
The new union is the Association of
Theatrical Agents and Managers of
the United States and Canada. 1t has
just been granted charter by the
American Federation of Labor through
Hugh Frayne, organizer for this dis
trict.
Frank Gilmore, executive secretary
of the Actors Equity Association, and
Joseph N. Weber, president of the
American Federation of Musicians,
helped the press agents in getting
their union started
One aim of the organization is to
stamp out the fake stories which are
usually associated with theatrical
press-agentry. The association was
formed, according to Theodore Nit
chell, chairman of the board of di-
rectors, partly as protection against
fly-by by-night publicity grabbers who
are responsible for most of the fake
stunts concocted to get a dancer or
night club proprietor first page posi-
tion in the dailies." These men
'1eave bad taste in the mouth of the
editor who falls for them," Mitchell
