For the equivalent of eight cents the poor were entitled to half a litre of wine and to pass the night on a bench. The business has heen sold by the daughter of the found- er. The place was known to many wealthy tourists who, under the impression that the Grappe Door was a cabaret, have driven up to the building only to turn away un- able to stand the firmes of wine and the stench of stale tobacco.

AMUSING FEATURES OF OLD WOODEUTS Life and Fashions of Fifty Years Ago Are Depicted St. Johns, Nfid.,, May 16.--The Evening Telegram of this city re- cently issued a special edition com- memorating its golden jubilee, in which the progress and prosperity of the oldest colony was adequate- ly outlined. An amusing feature was a page of old-fashioned wooa- cuts descriptive of life and fashions of 60 years ago, "when everybody went to church, mostly walking; the young ladies dressed up to go to prayer meeting; Puffing Billy snorted up Rennie's Valley at the breakneck speed of nine miles an hour; young spendthrifts would spend a dollar and a half every fine Sunday afternoon; and the tired business man taking in the sights on a week-end 'walk did not have to worry about traffic signals." PLASTERERS GET FIVE-DAY WEEK Wages Increase 7, Cents-- Expect Lathers Back Soon Toronto, May 15--Four hundred and fifty plasterers and their help- ers returned to their work yesterday. Negotiations were concluded on Tues- day to the satisfaction of both par- ties, union officials announced. Everything now hinges on the ne- gotiations being carried out by the lathers, it was pointed out, as the lathers do their work before the plasters. Unless there is a settlement of the lathers' dispute immediately, work will be curtailed, but as the contractors who have assented to the plasterers' demands also deal with the lathers, indications point to an early settlement, Union plasterers will now receive an increase of seven and a half cents an hour to 1.32 1-2 for this year. Next year they will receive a further five- sent increase to $1.37 1-2 with the same rate prevailing until April 30, 1933, when the three-year agreement terminates, They were not so much concerned with the increase in wages as the retention of the five-day week which they have secured, This was perceptible when the contractors of- fered them an immediate increase of 12 1-2 cents an hour if they would revert to the 40-hour week, which they unanimously rejected. The union officials are perfectly satisfied that they have made a gain. "We wen completely," stated Jack Sim, busifiess agent, "and we have made sure of the five-day week for the next three years, We also were granted a fair increase in wages. Wotk will start at once on the Royal York hotel and other structures. We were negotiating for a 25-cent in- crease but we are satisfied." ] ADVOCATE RAILWAY VIA PEACE PASS General McRae Claims Only Economic Outlet For District (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, Ont, May 16.--Construc- tion of railway outlet for the Peace River Country from the Mackenzie river to Vancouver, through Peace Pass, which he claimed would in- crease the present season on the Ma- ckenzie to the Arctic from two and one half to four and one half months, mons by General A, D.

He was speaking when. the House was in committee on the bill to in- corporate the Northern Alberta Rail- ways Company, These railways are to be taken over jointly by the Can- adian National and Canadian Pacific Railways.

PULPWOOD CARRIER UNIQUE INVENTION Collapsible Sides Permitting Instantaneous Discharge of Pulpwood St, John's Nfid,, May 16.--A model of a novel vessel to be known as the Balfour-Fish Dump Barge, intended to handle pulpwood more effectively, J has been designed by two residents of Corner Brook. The craft will have collapsible sides, permitting, it is hoped, the instantaneous discharge of pulpwood without the laborious process of unloading by winches and slings, Walter Balfour and Fisher are the designers, A company has been formed to back the pro- ect and construction of two of the arges is expected to be completed by mid-summer. If the vessels work successfully, it is believed the inven- tion may revolutionize the carrying and unloading of pulpwood on' the North American continent. An esti- mated saving of $1.50 per cord, as compared with the steamer cost of loading and unloading, is expected. Another feature of the barge will be its shallow draught, doing away with the Tong tows from steamers to shore, REVIEWS U.5. AND JAPAN'S RELATIONS Ambassador to Washington Says Difficulties Will Be Overcome Columbia, Mo., May'16.--Such differences as exist between the United States and Japan eventual- ly will yield to mutual respect and concession, Catsuji Debuchi, Japan- ese ambassador at Washington, predicted in a speech at the jour- nalism week banquet at the Uni- versity of Missouri. The ambassador made no direct reference to the exclusion of Japan- ese immigrants from the United States, the outstanding problem in Japanese American relations since the immigration law of 1924 wus enacted. "It would be neither candid nor true to say that there have been no disagreements between Japan and America," the ambassador said.
