 This unfortunate tradition recognized to be dead quite some decades ago.

LABOR NEUTRALITY

Reports from Canada that strike of workmen in that country against General Motors may spread to the United States will most Americans to ask the natural question-why?
 It will be little hard for most of us to under stand why affairs of Canadian workmen have any thing to do with American workmen, even if the trouble is with an American company. Perhaps it is little hard for Homer Martin, President of the United Automobile Workers of America, to grasp the point too. At any rate. yesterday he declined to comment on the advisioilty of a series of strikes against General Motors in this country as result of the Canadian trouble.
 Of course MT Martin is cognizant of the fact that his organization is the United Automobile Work of America and not the United Automobile Workers of Canada In other words, it is Ameri- can organization for American workmen. It is as sumed that its purpose is to better conditions of the American workingmen who make up its member ship Like national defense units, it proposes we are given t, understand, to protect the rights and privileges of American labor the Army and Navy protects the rights and privileges of the United States. Not the rights and privileges of some other country.
 American labor has made great strides toward it's goal in the last few years. It has had sympathetic public, friendly government; in many instances, 8 laudable If it expects to hold the ground f has gained it will stick to American standards and American workmen, and not dabbe in the affairs of workmen in other countries.
 the years since the World War, and particularly in the last three years, have heard much about neutrality. The bitter experience of the World War convinced the majority of that an excellent thing to do is take care of the United States and let for eign countries take care of themselves. Neutrality laws have been passed to that end. The point is not to get fingers burned with something that is of affairs.
 The United Automobile Workers of America profit by that example Or it get its fingers burned by showing them into Canadian fires.

 Three well-defined trends have been shown since 1922 In that year failures were heavy at 3,925. decline was noted until 1926 when the number of business fatalities l,773, when the trend was re- versed and in 1892 casualties 2420 During the four years however progressive declines have been recorded and 1936 showed a considerable improve ment in this respect 1885, in which year the failures were less than in any of the previous i4 years.
 Failures numbered 1198 in 1936 as against 1914 in the preceding year Defaulted liabilities at S15,l45, coo were less than any year since 1922 and showed a marked decrease from 1885.
 British Columbia did not fare so well with respect to number of failures during the year, the total of 37 being increase of nine 1885.
