It is rather unfortunate that an occa-| sioh intended for innocent merri- some ment should degenerate into an op portunity for disorder and destruc-: tion of property. : The Chief is to be commended for his foresight and caution and it is to be hoped that his announcement will serve as a warning. Hallowe'en may still be a time of merriment but there is no reason why it should be a time of rowdyism, Going to a Fire there were the days before permanent fire within walking or running distance In brigades everyone attended a fire as soon ag the alarm was given.

REPLY TO THE GLOBE (Buffalo Express) Discussing Premier Ferguson's liquor policy, which it 'says is "directly contrary to the best judg- ment of economists and business men," the Toronto Globe recalls that Professor Irving Fisher of Yale University 'told the United States sengte committee which investigat- ed fhe operations of the Volstead act that Prohibition had saved that country $6,000,000,000 yearly by reason of the increase in industrial efficiency." The Globe might also remind its readers of another re- marakble assertion by Professor Fisher, namely, that crime as some talk about it in the United States is "largely a myth."

RAY OF HOPE IN. | STRIKE SITUATION Miners Accept Either Lower Wages or Longer Hours But Want Agreement London, Oct. ~--Some hope of coal peace appears tomight after six months of the mining stoppage. After a day and a night of intricate negotiations involving the Govern ment, miners, owners and the Coun- cil of the Trade Union Congress, vhich represents all organized la- bor, the position appears as follows: The miners are tentatively pre- pared for the first time to accept lower wages or. longey..hours,~.- or even provided they both get a nation- 29 tions recently that' perha, 'ople's tempers are becoming a bit prasped.

This arrangement was made -pending-the e when the Free State should NS hs $538 1 up y 3 undertake its own coastal defence and naval defence. ' It was further provided that five years after the date of the treaty a conference should take place be- tween representatives of the Brit- ish and Irish Governments with a viewito the nndertaking by Irelend of a share in her own coastal defence. The five years will expire Dec. 6 noxt, and . there is therefore some speculation as to the future of Irish coastal defen¢e. There is no ques- tion 'of establishing an Irish navy.
