References in the daily newspapers to the sugâ€" gestion that there might be a strike on the railâ€" ways unless some material part of. the reductions in wages is adjusted has made little impression on the people of Timmins and the North. Indeed, to many it will come as a surprise to learn thal voting is now taking place among several branches of the railway service on the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway. It may even be a shock to know that the vote promises to be fairly overâ€" whelming in favour of a strike unless the reasonâ€" able requests of the men are met. Sqo far as the North is concerned it is not an academic question. It is a very matter of life and death for the counâ€" try. It is well known toâ€"day thatâ€"both sides lose in every strike, and that the publicusually loses the sum total lost by both sides. This would be aspecially true in case of a strike of the railwayâ€" men on the T. N. O. In a week: the railway and the country would lose enough to pay the addiâ€" tional cost of meeting the requests of the men for at least part return of the slashes in wages made during the depression. In addition there would soon be actual suffering on the part of the people of the North for the need of the necessitiey of life. It has been learned that food suppties are. practicâ€" ally carried only from week to week. Eégxtralxza: tion of the railway service would bring ratxomng in a week or ten days and actual: want for the necessities of life in two or three weeks. Any proâ€" tracted strike would tie up the industries of the countryâ€"â€"meaning ruin instead of the prosperity that promises now. This country depends on the T. N. 0. in very complete way, and this is partiâ€" cularly true in the winter and early spring. Needless to say there must be no strike! The public will look to the T. N. 0. and the men of the service to see that there is no strike or,.the posâ€" sibility of a strike. The Advance does not believe there will be any strike. But it is the sort of thing that should not suddenly confront the country without warning. To mention the poasibust,y now should help to avert such a disaster, The people in The new Canadians who are studying English am other subjects in the night classes for qdulh conducted here by Mr. Transom and Mr. Kostel unâ€" der the auspiccs of the Dept. of Education, and vhose new Canadians who are roRowmg simila1 lings of study in the classes conducted by the Finâ€" nmh United Church are setting an example in gooc cmzenship to all Canadians. The classes are provâ€" ing unusually successful in every way.~ The dttenâ€" dance is large, and those who are giving their time to the study are finding the effort is well repaid indeed. The one regret is that more are not acecepting the opportunity given by these classes. The classes are proving one of the greatest forces for the betterment of citizenship, and for this rea~ son it would be well to see them include all. Talkâ€" ing recently to some of the new Canadians who have accepted the opportunity of these classes. The Advance fourd that while they recognize the material value of the classes, they are stiil more concerned with the social and citizenship benefits. "Every new Canadian should perfect himself so far as he can in the use of English, so that he will be a better citizen of this country that has given him so good a chance," said one new Canadian. "Just as a matter of gratitude for the liberty and opportunity under Canadian government," said another, "all new Canadians should seek to be as good citizens as possible of this new country." Still another said:â€"*"I know that these courses of study mean a chance for better jobs and better pay, as well as making life happier and easier, beâ€" cause of the wider field of opportunity and friendâ€" ship opened up, but there are other things even more important to be considered. For instance, there is the imatter of our children. The children all learn English, and then there is the danger of them growing away from their parents. Authority in the home tends to laxity, and we do not want our children to slip into wrong paths. We want to be upâ€"toâ€"date so that we can keep pace with the children, keep constantly in touch with them, and use our influence to have them develop into citiâ€" zens in whom Canada will take just pride. We cannot keep in full touch with them simply by teaching them our native language, but by learnâ€" ing English ourselves we will meet them on the same plane on which they have to face life in this country." In the old lands from which the new Canadians come there are traditions, romance, art, poetry, music, that may be brought to this country. The new land has given much and offers nruch to the new Canadians. The old lands may give much to the new. These courses of study form; the basis on which the greatest mutual benefit is posslble They are valuable beyond words, materially and spiritually, and the greater the advantage taken of them the better for the new Canadians and for Canada itself.

In regard to the general railway situation in ‘anada there may be question as to the possibility f ncceding to the requests of the men for a return to fuller employment and an approach to former rates of pay. The railways claim that they cannot afford the required increases at the present time. ut the men have a strong argument in the fact that increases have been granted to civil servants in general. Railwaymen accepted decreased pay and curtailed hours of employment during the deâ€" pression and did it all with good grace and good sportsmanship. Public men who have given spectâ€" ial study to the question express deep regret at the genuine hardships endured by thousands of railâ€" roaders during the depression. Little public notice has been given to this phase of the question but there is no doubt but that the railwaymen took their full share of the evils of the depression. With the improvement of conditions toâ€"dayâ€"an imâ€" provement that warrants increases in other lines, including the civil serviceâ€"the railwaymen are not unreasonable in looking for some measure of reâ€" turn to former wage scales. So far as the Temiskaming and Northern Onâ€" ‘tario Railway is concerned the men appear to have a perfect case. Reports from the railway itself suggest that the line is returning to former prosâ€" perity and profit. Costs of living in the North are returning to former scales; wages in other lines are also returning to older and better standpoints. The T. N. 0. staff has carried through the depression in creditable way. The same loyal and efficient service has been given as was the rule in more prosperous days. It would appear that the emâ€" ployees of the people‘s railway should be treated fairly and generously at this time and given a chance for returned prosperity and better living. Whatever may be the case in other parts of the country, the scale of wages for railwaymen in this North is not above the standard that would be won . by the same efficiency and loyalty in other lines of | industry. come k1 Cabinet under a Irishman 11 A gentleman who is attempting to be facetious, or else is hopelessly behind in keeping up with progress in Timmins, suggests the letters "T. P. A. A. A." may mean *‘Timmins Porcupine Advance Athletic Association," because he "sees so much mention of the T. P. A. A.A. in The Advance." The Advance would be proud to have such a worthy ind valuable institution as the "T. P. A . A . A." bear its name, but in case the gentlemen in quesâ€" tion is really ignorant of the facts, it may be well to note that the T. P. A. A. A. is the short form for referring to the "Timmins Police Amateur Athletic Association.‘"" The T. P. A. A . A. was founded with the idea â€"of â€"providing sports and games for the boys of the town, with the purpose of giving the lads wholesome and healthful recreation that would keep them out of any mischief, and at the same time establish a bond of confidence and friendship between the boys and the police that would be a mutual benefit and also of decided adâ€" vantage to the community. It may only be added that the T. P. A. A. A has been eminently successâ€" ful and has accomplished much for the boys and the town. ‘ spent on the Peae : March 1st the Dept. of promised pr repairing in Miss Agnes MacPhail, M.P., asked in the House of Commons last week "why sane murderers were hanged and insane killers left alive. What would Miss MacPhail do? Hang them both? Or place both kinds on a boat and sink the boat, like she suggested for the leading statesmen of Europe? Or, perhaps she would like to have the insane placed in the parliament buildings until such time as some foreign nation drops a bomb on that instiâ€" tution? Last Monday The Advance asked that something be done to stop the interference on the radio that had been so annoying to radio owners for weeks previous. Tuesday evening there was not a touch of interference. The radio came in perfectly Dozens of radio owners referred to the matter., One reader writing last week to The Advance sugâ€" gested that it certainly paid to advertise in The Advance. No doubt! But there is also something else suggested, and that is that interfence may be stopped by proper methods. There does not seem to be any reason why the interference that was stopped voluntarily last week should not be traced and stopped by due process of law the next time it develops into a general nuisance to radio owners. it mt P PA P lC P nÂ¥ GRAVEL AND S \NDâ€"â€"AND PLALLR; ttawa: Hon.
