TWO THOUSAND PRINTERS STRIKE IN TORONTO FOR 44-HOUR WEEK Strike Effects Nearly One Hundred Job Shops and Includes Printers, Pressmen and Bookbinders Increase ty in Wages Also Demanded. A despatch from Toronto says: . Rejecting a final offer from employing j printers of the Toronto Typothetae of a minimum wage of $36 for a 48-hour week or $33 for a 44-hour week, 2,000 union employees of the printing indus- try, job section, decided to go on strike on June 1. At the meeting of Local 91, International Typographical Union, the National Pressmen's andj Press Assistants' Union, and the Bookbinders' and Bindery Women's i Union, the report of negotiating com-] mittees of the unions that the offer of employers be rejected was unanimous- j ly endorsed*. The strike is likely to prove a pro- 1 tracted affair. Employers state, [ through Treasurer F. M. Kimbark of i the Toronto Typothetae, that it is im-! possible for them to meet the demands' of the unions, and union officials de- ! clare that their members are insistent ! In the demand for the 44-hour week ! without a reduction In wages at least, if not with an increased wage. Employers and unions are provided, with large funds to carry on the fight. ; Some time ago the Typothetae an-} nounced an assessment of three months' payroll and overhead expenses to meet expense its members incur by a strike, and later the union levied a 10 per cent weekly wage as- sessment on its members. The To- ronto printers will likely receive $17 a week strike allowance for single men and $22 a week for married men, which is what is now being paid to the Hamilton strikers. According to union officials, there the 102 members in the Toronto Ty- pothetae. President Andrew Gerrard of the printers' union, claimed that some of these concerns' hid agreed to give the 44-hour week with present wages, pending a settlement, and in these shops men would be permitted to work. Among the latter is the Wilson Pub- lishing Company, a large newspaper distributing concern, the closing down of which would have had a serious ef- fect upon publications throughout the country. Some officials of the Typographical Union claim that the National Press- men's and Press Assistants' Union may come out of the strike /!th bet- ter agreements than other organiza- tions. The pressmen are insisting upon $42 a week and the 44-hour week, and have been able to secure the sign- atures of some employers to an agree- ment to this effect. THIRTY PERISH IN TULSA RIOTS Racial Fight Between Whites and Negroes Results in $1,500,000 Loss. A despatch from Tulsa. Okla., says:: Martial law prevailed in bul- let-swept Tulaa Wednesday afternoon, with order restored under the grim threait of four companies of war- manned State troops. Twenty hours of desperate race rioting had destroy- ed over a million dollars' worth of property and razed the entire negro section. The city, blood-drenched and black- ened by incendiary fires, was begin- ning to care for its dead. According to the hitest authentic report, nine whites and twenty-one negroes are known to have been killed during the race clash. An estimate places property damage at $1,500,000. AH this, according to Gen. C. F. Bar- rett, commanding the State troops, called here to maintain martial law. was incited by "an impudent negro, a hysterical girl and a yellow journal reporter." Representative citizens of Tulsa met on Thursday and condemned the city and county law enforcement officials, holding them responsible for the dis- astrous outbreak. In addressing this meeting Gen. Barrett stated that, while he was ordering the withdrawal of the National Guard from Tulsa, there was no intention to remove the martial law edict until such time as it was shown the city could care for itself. A committee, in whii-h Mayor T. D. Evans was denied a place, was appointed to care for the helpless ne- groes, estimated to number more than 3.000, and to expedite the work of re- building the burned negro quarter. "Most of this damage was done by white criminals, who should have been shot and killed," E. J. Martin, former Mayor, said, after he was selected Chairman of the Emergency Uvmmit- tee. University Standards. Entance requirements in several Faculties of the Provincial University have recently been raised and an- nouncement is made that, in some cases, a still further increase will soon oeur. Intelligently considered, this action is seen to be unquestionably in the best interests of the parents of the youth of Ontario-. To study for an additional year In the local collegiate institute or high rchool before beginning a university course is not a hardship to any boy or girl. Quite the contrary. It means an- other year at home under parental care and influence; it menns also saving in money. Success in a university course depends very largely upon two condi- tions, viz., a good educational founda- tion which enables one to grasp read- ily what is taught and a maturity and stability of character which prompt* one to study dilligently even when away from parental oversight. The attainment of both these necessary qualifications is made easier by more rigid university entrance require- ments. In raising its standard the Univer- sity of Toronto is acting solely in the interests of prospective students and their parents, is carrying out its well known democratic policy, and is aug- menting its right to its position as "the poor man's college."

Says Business Depression of 1921 Has Passed A despatch from New York says: ' The business depression of 1921 has definitely passed and the financial con- dition of the United States is such now that it should inspire only optim- ism, W. P. G. Harding, Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, declared in an address before the annual meet- ing of the National Automobile Cham- ber of Commerce. "The public has a lot of buying power left. We want to get the people out of the idea that prices are going lower and lower," he asserted. The Chinese usually open a corrver- witnon with "How old are you?"- UK tead of "How do you do?" Probably the first feeling most of us have in reading of the beginning! of the trial of Germans for maltreat- 1 ing war prisoners is one of regret that the dragnet could not have brought in some of the more consider- able offenders instead of such small fry as non-commissioned officers. One of the chief industries in Ger- many of late has been the production j of alibis. The men who did the things, that outraged the civilized conscience! in the war are now anxious to keep mum and lie hid. They are eager to let the dead past He buried. When they perpetrated the cruelties upon their prisoners they laughed at any threat of punishment in days to come. Verily,! the tribunal that now sits upon their deeds has taken a long time to <ts- semble. It is true that time has cooled passion and made a truer perspective possible. It is also true that the per- iod that has elapsed has enabled many culprits to evade a proper penalty. It will be no great satisfaction to any one to have a few underlings put in jail, while the men higher up are at large and at leisure to compile their apologetic memoirs. The prospect isj that whatever punishment is meted j out will go no further than to settle a few inconspicuous grudges; it will not satisfy the long and heavy-laden account of all humanity against Ger- man militarism. + + -f BOUNDARY LINE OF THE PLEBISCITE AREA HULTSCHIN OISTRICTGIVEN TO C2ECHO- SIOVAKIA BY 1 HE.
