persons seriously injured IN a fierce
| pitched battle. Twelve of the in
jured were officers. one was a

The battle, precipitated when
strikers disrcgarded Mayor Banna-
tyne's orders not to parade, was
the most serious labor outbreak in
all Canada since the Winnipeg
strike of 1919.
Mine operators. against whom the
miners struck two weeks ago 70"

was caused by Communists.
The mirers assembled late yester-
day outside the city, organized into
parade formation, and, with women

ment. started the march which the
mayor had ordered them not to
make.

Hoover Certain
OF Nomination
Continued from page y
was Coolidge. That is removed.
Almost all politicians in both
parties now regard Mr.. Hoover's
denomination as certain.

Almost all politicians in both
parties now regard Mr.. Hoovcr's
denomination as certain.
This tearing away of an under
brush Of whispered conjecture came
at the most beneficial time for
President Hoover. 1t enables his
party organization to start work on
the campaign with less sapping at
its loyalty. More important, it gives
momentum to the rising conf
dence, which, so long in eclipse. is
beginning to stiffen the backbone
of President Hoover.
Dispute Assertion
1nsurgent Republicans, however,
dispute Coolidge's assertion that
harmful results come from faction
al criticism of administration lead
ership. They regard it as a healthy
check on the tremendous power Of
the White House. As outstanding
examples of its value, they cite the
Teapot Dome and department Of
justice disclosures in the Harding
administration.
In this respect the Coolidge
article stirs up the Republican
insurgents rather than brings
them into line, They regard the
connivlnce of Republican ma
ticnal committee officials in
secretly trying TO prevent the
reelection of Senator George w.
Norris, Republican of Nebraska,
last year as having broken down
the last vestiges of party loyal
ty which might have been
claimed from them.
They are preparing a program Of
practically complete opposition to
that which Mr. Hoover will sponsor
regarding unemployment relief and
taxes.
There are many signs that Mr..
Hoover is rolling up his sleeves for
struggle this winter the like OF
which has not been seen since
Woodrow Wilson fought the senate
over the League of Nations
The President has been through
an ordeal which would break both
the spirit and the body Of MANY
men. Anonymous books and maga-
zine articles broadcast picture OF
indecision, futility and bewilder-
ment which expressed sensationally
the more charitable uneasiness OF
some of his closest friends.
Now they are hopfully beginning
TO believe Mr.. Hoover is trying new
tactics. He gained confidence from
the cheer which went up over his
German moratorium stroke. Next
came his dramatic appearance be-
fore the American Legion conVen-
ton when he bluntly asked the vet
erans to forgoc their demand Tor a
cash bonus.

Increased protection for school

lowing the announcement of the
membership of the committee by

tendent of schools.
With statistics showing the de-
cline of child casualties in auto
mobile accidents, Mr.. Ely de-
clared that the presence of the
patrols in the vicinity of the
school buildings has a psychologi'
cal influence on both motorists
and children which prevents acci
dents.
Mr.. Ely pointed out that in
three years, there has been no
death or any serious injury to
school children in the patrol area.
The Police Department and the
A.A.A. has furnished 100 per
cent cooperation" with the school
system, Mr.. Ely said.
