CANADA CROPS
WELCOME RAIN

The Bank of Montreal crop re.
port states that in the Canadian
prairie provinces during the past
week rains varying from light
showers to torrential downpours
have been received over most of
Alberta and in many points in
Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
AS a consequence crop prospects
have improved in some sections Of
Alberta and the moisture should
relieve the feed situation in parts
of Saskatchewan In Manitoba
wheat is headed and filling rap
idly.
In Quebec good yields of the
staple crops are in prospect, eli
matte conditions continuing to be
favorable to growth and moisture
plentiful. In Ontario crops in
general have made satisfactory
progress to date, and harvesting of
a good average crop of fall wheat
is now general.
In the maritime provinces fine
and moderately warm weather
has continued during the past
week and conditions generally are
favorable to growing crops. In
British Columbia crops generally
are doing we'll, there having been
a continuance of favorable wealth

ations for seasonal reasons, bust
ness is now approaching the dull

to the Standard Statistics Com

Earlier forecasts of a sub

result in a highly satisfactory

STRIKES SEEN
EDUCATIONAL

Until now, the average citizen
has had little understanding OF
the differences between industrial
unionisn and craft unionism, &C
cording to Poor'S stock reports
Neither did he see the political
significance which the labor move
ment might play in the country's
subsequent political development
the report said, adding:
"The repeated and widespread
strikes in the automobile and
steel industries have served to
awaken the general public to
the fact that the labor situation
may have far.reaching effects
on our economic, social and pO-
liticaI life. Although it seems
probable that the C. /. o. has
suffered some loss Of public SYM
pathy in the recent steel strikes,
it is evident that this movement
possesses some far.reaching pO-
litical implications. For exam
pie, from many quarters is heard
the opinion that the C. I. o. as
much a political movement as q
union movement. The present
excuses on both sides during the
recent strikes are characteristic
of important industrial disputes,
where feeling runs high, and
should not cloud the significance
of the present labor movement.
Organized labor played an
important part in the 1886 preSi'
Dental campaign, when COM
pared with the 1882 campaign,
and it appears probable that 1t
will assume a more significant
role in 194O."
The security markets appear to
have discounted any adverse Ell
fects which industrial conflicts
may have over the near term, the
report adds. Some recurrence OF
strikes appears accepted as nee
essary evil in conjunction with the
present labor movement to pro
mote unionization. Over the longer
term, the situation should become
stabilized, according to the study
without development Of Commu
nism.

When q diamond was opened, it
looked as though a trick each in clubs
and diamonds would have to be con-
ceded. Mr.. Schenken, asking himself
what possible distribution Of cards
could give him his contract, decided
that If one opponent (probably West)
held four spades and three or more
trumps, the hand could be won. He
therefore decided to proceed on the
theory that West held four spades and
three trumps. Nov, while Vests four
spades might not include the Jack, the
odds were all in favor Of it. And 80,
after drawing two rounds of trumps.
Mr.. Schenken nnessed dummy's nine
Of spades.
OF course, it was still quite possible
that East held the third trump and
would trump one Of the spade leads
and set the contract two. But the ex-
ira 100 points was negligible when
compared with the possible slam. A
glance at the four hands will show
that the cards were exactly as Mr..
Schenken had hoped they would be,
and he was able to discard dummy's
losing diamond on the fourth spade,
trump diamond in dummy and hold
his loss to only one club trick.

TO BE an ''idealist" at bridge does
not mean that you think your
partner, the opponents and all the
kibitzers are perfect. It simply means
that when you are playing a hand
that looks impossible, you should try
to figure out some possible distribution
which will allow Of fulfillment and
then play accordingly. In this hand
Howard Schenken made a six-heart
bid which he admitted was very opti-
mistic and, while the hand looked
impossible, his "idealism" enabled him
to fulfill his contract.

State Merchants
Reconciled To Tax
CONTINUED from Page 0nel


nave maintained chat as long as the
sales tax was on the law books. every
merchant should be compelled to pay
1t, regardless of whether he liked the
ak or not. So what Commissioner
Maxwell had to say about "cracking
down" on chislers was music to the
ears of most of the merchants at the
convention-so much so that they
gave Mr.. Maxwell a rising vote of
thanks at the conclusion of his adj
dress.
The thing that indicates that the
merchants have about made up their
minds to accept the sales tax and quit
fighting it, according to most obser-
vers at the convention, is the fact
that the resolutions committee at first
refused to approve the anti-sales tax
resolution which would have put the
merchants on record to oppose all po-
litical candidates who favored the
sales tax. 1t was only when Execu-
tive Secretary Willard l.. Dowell. of
the association, did some quick work
on the flying trapeze and managed
to get a less drastic anti-sales tax
section inserted in the resolutions.
that they were adopted.
There is no doubt that Commission
er Maxwell and the merchants of the
State are getting to be more and
more friendly enemies, that the mer-
chants are not opposed to the sales
tax as much as they formerly were.
observers agree.
