WOULD "FIRE" THOMAS FROM BRITISH CABINET Radical Labor Resolution Passed by Gathering in East Side of London. suppress London, Aug. 18.--"In view of Mr. Thomas' general behavior it is resolved that he should be excluded from the cabinet." This is the text of resolution d yesterday by a Labor ga- thering in the 'east side of London. The resolution is to be presented to the conference of-Labor in October. The "gen- eral behavior" complained of seemingly refers to the particu- lar behavior on the part of J. H. Thomas, colonial secretary, in constantly interposing snags to communist activities. Another resolution to come before the conference proposes that recruits for the army should be given an opportunity of refusing to aid the civil pow- er in conection with industrial disputes. Further resolutions to be dealt with condemn min- isters of the Labor Government for attending court and social functions wearing court dress. Such action is stigmatized as "foolish and ridiculous." NUCH INDIGNATION AT CAPE VINCENT Over Seizure of Boats for Using Nets Over the Canadian Border. Cape Vincent, N.Y., Aug. 18, -- Considerable feeling has developed between fishermen on the Canadian and American sides of Lake Onta- rio and the St. Lawrence river as a result of the seizure by Canadian authorities of three American fish- ing boats. south of Wolfe Island last Tuesday afternoon and the ar- rest of the.occupants, The fishing boats were all owned and operated | by Cape Vincent fishermen. "The arrest was made on 'the grounds that the fishermen were us- ing illegal nets In Canadian terri- tory. The Cape Vincent men say that they were on the American side of the boundary line in Lake Onta- rio. It is claimed that Gault's boat was far on the American side of the line. In Cape Vincent, among the fish- ermen there is a good deal of in- dignation over the case. Fishermen all along the lake and on the river are expressing dissatisfaction 'over the affair, There has always been an unwritten agreement it is claim- ed between the Capadiacs and Americans that fishing by Ameri- cans or Canadians on the wrong side of the line would be tolerated il the trespassing was done uninten- tionally. A short time ago a Cana- dian was taken at Ogdensburg for fishing in American water and it is thought that this has aroused certain Canadian fishermen and that Americans who cross the line with P * +4 KILLED IN OOLLISION © OF GASOLINE JIGGERS & -- + Winnipeg, Aug. 18, -- Twq < men, not yet identified, were + killed in the collision of gaso- < line *"jiggers" on the Canadian 4 National Railway near Sioux < Look-Out, Ontario, late Satur- #.day night.

This, Premier King, told the great gathering al Markham Saturday, was the attitude of his government on such occasions as the halibut treaty. "We have maintained," he said, "that the day is past when Canada should, in her relations with other parts of the empire, not excepting Great Britain herself, take the pos!- tion of a colony, subordinate in posi- tion and inferior in status. While we have not claimed that our in- terests or our powers are in any de- gree comparable to those of the mother land, we have considered that to the extent of our interests in in- ter-imperial, as in all partnership ar- rangements, we are entitled to have our voice heard, and that in matters of foreign policy no less than of domestic concern, there should not be taxation without representation." Defends Tariff Reduction. Premier King defended his atti- tude in lowering the tariff on cer- tain commodities during the past session of parliament, his attitude being that it was a step in the dir- ection of decreasicg the cost of liv. ing. Mr. King referred to the govern- ment's fiscal poMcy, which he claimed would result in "increase of pro- duction and decrease in the cost of living," as the "most important of all the constructive efforts of our ad- ministration." The effort of the government - was ~to--develop- the natural resources of the Dominion with a view to stimulating industry in all its branches and to reduce the cost of living for the great body of men and women throughout the country. Only by the increase of wealth extracted from the natural resources of the country could the pubiic debt be lessened. Only in this way was taxation to be décreased, the railway problem solved and immi- grants attractéd to the country. a To Help Farmers. Premier King explained that when the government came into office.in 1921 there was little time to prepare any far-reaching tariff changes prior to the first session in the following spring. Even in the second year, though rigid, economy had been practised, the government was un- able to make any considerable tariff reductions. However, last year, the government foresaw the prospect of a surplus and felt justified in bring- ing in the reductions contained in the 1924 budget, Mr. King said that he would not go into detail in enumer- ating the reductions affected. For the most part the changes were the total elimination in some instances, material reductions in others on the customs duties on the implements of production used in agriculture, mining, lumbering and fishing. The result would be beneficial to the whole industrial, commercial and fin- ancial life of Canada. Party politics and petty acrimonies were forgotten, and the whole con- stituency turned out to honor not the head of the Liberal party, but as one of the many placards put it, "The uncrowned king of a united Cana ADMIRAL BRIDGE DEAD.

THE QUEEN MOTHER TO SEE LONDON AGAIN Expresses Wish for "Just One More Look at My Dear Londoners." London, Aug. 18.--Queen Alexan- dra, mother of King George, who is eighty years old intends to make one more visit to Marlborough House, her London Palace, she announced to one of her ladies-in-waiting. The visit will be made in October. "I want to have just one more look at my dear Londoners,' was the way the aged Queen Mother express- ed herself rather pathetically. Queen Alexandra is now coming to collect her dearest treasures and take them back to Sandringham which she probably will never leave again.

"There is this to be said," said Sir Frederick, "that per- sistency of type is something to 'be reckoned with. When you have weather of a certain char- acter it is more likely to con- tinue than to change suddenly. But," he concluded, "the type may change and we may yet have hot weather."

ALLIES AGREE. WITH GERMANS That Rubr Wil § Be Evacuated on August 15th, 1925. 10 SHOW_GOOD-WILL The French Troops Will Leave the Dortumd Area in Two Weeks Time. London, Aug. 18.--The French and Germans finally have settled their long controversy over the mili- tary evacuation of the Ruhr and agree to the principle that Aug. 15th of next year be mnxed as the final date when the French and Belgian troops must . completely evaguate the Ruhr territory. ey have also agreed that a par- tial evacuation will begin on August 30th qt this year when the foreign soldiers will leave Dortmund and the cities and places outside of the Ruhr which were not occupied in accordance with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The Belgians join with the French in the letters covering these points. Both the French and Germans, in their letters, insist that they have not altered their opinions about the legal question involved in the oce cupation of the Ruhr, The French insist that the occu- pations were justified by the Treaty of Versailles, while the Germans de- clare that the sanctions were illegal and voice the expectation that-the-.a evacuation will be finished earlier than next August, British Premier's Statemeng. Prime Minister MacDonald is alse preparing a letter in which he will deny charges that he coerced the Germans into acceptance of the French demand that the Ruhr octu= pation continue for one year longer. It is also expected that he will issue a statement, expressing the hope that the evacuation may be"even speed fer than the agreement provides. The French and Belgian prime ministers made a joint statement d claring it was obvious that the. tire 'ag 'the FW troops left the Ruhr, in other that the military evacuation w be absolutely complete next Aug. 15. To this Mr. MacDonald gave his approval, thus binding the British slong with the French and the Ger- mans to the absolute fultililment of the agreement on condition that the Germans live up to the provisions of the Dawes' plan. The Germans and Allied delegates at a plenary session of the interna- tional conference Saturday night initialled the agreements on the exe- cution of the Dawes plan. Until the German Reichstag and the French chamber of deputies en- dorse the action of the London Con- terence it will not be possible to have final signatures to the agree- ment. Flooded With Claims On Pension Appeals Ottawa, Aug. 18.--Claims for dis- ability pensions are coming to the - Dominion command of the Gres: War Veterans' Association here in large numbers as a result of the recent © warning that such claims would be outlawed unless presented before Aug. 31st. The G. W. V.

Some confusion has arisen as be- tween the time limit for applying for pensions and the time Umit for entering appeals from pension and treatment decisions. The latter time limit was extended for one, year at the last session of parliament, but the time limit for new pension ap- lications is three years after the official declaration of peace which was Aug. 31st, 1921.
