Since May, 1020, when this class of labor was receiving forty cents per hour, there have hren a number of cuts until the men 'vere on a thirty cents per hour basis. The new rate is thirty-six cents, The importance of the move is the belief that it pre- snges the arrival, beyond question, of the prosperity which has been slowly retracing its steps to this con- tinent, Wall Street opinion, indeed, is that one reason for the hoost is to protect the United States Steel Cor- poration against a possible shortage of labor, The further opinion is ex- pressed that this prospective is not merely temporary--as for instance due to the rush of harvesting--but that it marks a permanent and def- inite renewal of the demand for workers in all the industrial cen- tres, Such indications in the face BIG WORLD THEIR SIG William Banks. a IFICANCE. ° fraud, sentenced to a term of penal servitude, and expelled from the Commons. His opponent at the gen- eral elections was a Coalition-Liberal, While the Government may be said to have gained in a sense--though Bottomley's support was frequently accorded its measures--the point for its consideration is the great strength shown by the Labor vote, This was almost triumphant in Hack- ney, as it has heen in some recent hy- elections, In a general election it would probably go over the top in many more constituencies than are now represented by Labor in Parlia- ment, Unless all signs fail British Labor will make a great showing in the next House of Commons.

A number of ambushes partaking more of the na- ture of murder than military opera- tions have been pulled off of late, and Free State men of note have suf- fered. It is feared that reprisals will follow in spite of the efforts of the calmer heads to prevent them. So far as the action in New York is con- cerned it is difficult it would be illegal to allow money collected in the United States to be used in financing rebellion and dis- order in a friendly country. Both national and international law would be violated should handed over to those who are clearly intending to use it for campaigns of violence. There may be many stiff legal encounters over the matter, but the chances are that in the end the Free State will be upheld. Premier Lloyd George and his sup- porters in the Commons are probably doing some hard thinking at times over the vote in the South Hackney (London) by-election.

SUNDAY, SEPT The Pattern of Jrd 11 am.--Subject Service", Some interesting statistics were | brought out at an international in-!| surance convention recontly held 'in Torunto. Some of these are worth pondering over. A significant item was that residents on this continent endure double the hazard of death by accident that hangs over the resi- | dents of Britain. The practical elim- ination of railway grade crossings motor cars in Britain, have much to do with the discrepancy. "Safety First" will need to be a slogan on this continent until thees removable causes of danger are under proper control. 'It was also shown that the aggregate of insurance premiunis! paid in the United States and Canada approximates three million dollars, annually, and that claims of all kinds paid out in the two countries last year totalled one hillion. seven- ty-two million and seven hundred | and twenty-two thousand dollars. | "big business" in truth. An- | other interesting item was fhe pres- | entation of figures compiled by the | United States government showing | that the total of insurance policies in | force is increasing eight times more | (rapidly than the population. One | does not need to advance any argu-| to insurance. This | pass- | ed the stage when every time insur-| ance is mentioned some people re- | gard the mentioner as ist. Insurance has come to stay and to grow as one of the essentials of a civilization that of itself must grow or wither. There are no half way measures for either. Recently issued official figures | show that the British people are re-| covering their "life-power." in other | words that the ravages of war on the) population is being made good. Im | the last year for which the figures {are now available, 1920. the mar- riage rate was the highest recorded, | being slightly over twenty per 1.000. The birth rate, 255 per thousand was the highest since 1909. The death rate was the lowest since fig- ures have been kept, namely 12.4 per thousand. The unsatisfactory side was presented in the figures showing that women outnumber the men by one million, seven hundred and eighty-four thousand in a total pop- ulation of about thirty-eight million: illegitimate births show an increase, and the number of divorces im 1920 was nearly double that of the pre- vious year. Returning travellers of observant habits are telling Cana- dians that despite all her burdens and much unemployment, Britain is distinctly on the upgrade in respect to industry.
