WATERWAY PLANS REMAIN UNKNOWN Canada's Proposals Are Kept Secret in Wash- ington Washington, Mar. 29.--Rumors from Canada that tariff and power matiers as well as the Chicago di- version question will be made con- ditions to the completion of the St. Lawrence joint waterway treaty have caused considerable interest here. The exact nature of Can- ada's proposals is not known. The interchange of notes between Ot- tawa and Washington now going on apparently is for the: purpose of exchanging reports and appen- dices of -the respective advisory boards of engineers whiel are pre- paring data for the respective gov- ernments. Both Washington and Ottawa have denied that tariff and pow- er matters were laid down as re- quisite conditions to negotiation of a treaty. Nevertheless it is generally understood that these matters were referred to in Can- ada's note of January. It is ru- mored that the Canadian Govern- ment pointed out that Canadians were anxious to know where the United States Government stood on the question of diversion of water from the Great. Lakes hy the Chi- cago' sanitary district, It is atso rumored that the note set forth that Canadians wer apeful that something definite "1 he laid down on the subj cl of aholition of United States duties on cattle and fish, and other agricultural products. Certain limitations to long term contracts for the export of hyd 'ectric power from the propn Tavelopment of the St. Lawre "1350 would be necessary the nn ; orth. ~-ank Disapproval Unti nada agrees 'on simul- taneous publication, the State De- partment here refuses to discuss the note at all. The note has passed through many hands, how- ever, in the course of technical ey- amination into its proposals and by this time interested parties on Capitol Hill appear to have some knowledge of its provisions. In these latteer circles frank disap- pro-al is expressed of any attempt to tie up the tariff question with that of the St. Lawrence water- way. Any reduction in the tariff on farm products would be impos- sible at present. The same group in the western states, which sup- port the St. Lawrence development, are emphatic in their desire for high tariffs on farm products. LOST FLIER'S WIFE IS LEFT PENNILESS London, March 28.--The prob- lem of providing for the future of Mrs. Walter Hinchcliffe will prob- ably be placed before Lord Inech- cape, father of Miss Elsie Mackay, when he returns to London from his Egyptian trip. According to The Evening Standard, it had been assumed before Captain Hincheliffe started that Mrs. Hincheliffe had been amply provided for by insur- ance in case of disaster. Now it is learned, the aviator's wife was not provided for in any such manner and she is in a serious finapeia! position. The present tangle is attributed partly to Mids Elsie Mackay's bub- bling enthusiasm for aviation, which led her to give Captain Hincheliffe a free hand in buying whatever he thought necessary for the flight. Not only was Captain Hincheliffe paid $500 monthly by Miss Mac:ay as salary, but she allowed 'ga $25,000 to buy the machine. > also took out insur- ance of $70.000, which Hinchcliffe undoubtedly thought would apply tothe Atlantic flight. Now it is found that his was only in case of disaster on the test flight, and that when Hinchcliffe took off silently and secretly from Nornwell he did not realize that his wife and chil- dren were utterly unprotected in that flight. NEWFOUNDLAND SEAI, CATCH AGGREGATES ABOUT 158,000 St. John's, Nfld.,, Mar. 29.-- The catches reported to date from the Newfoundland sealing fleet ag- gregate about 158,000, of which 143,300 are on board. The Nep- tune, in the Gulf has 33,000 and the Terra Nova 17,000 stowed and 2,000 on the ice. he high liner on the north coast is the Ungava, with 17.000. The kill for the eor- responding period last year was 164.000, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1928 (Chapter XXII oe) Giving the workman opportunity for no more than an occasional monosyllable in reply he poured forth a flood of information about his estate: The architectural feat- ures of his house--the cost; the loveliness of his trees--the cost; the coloring of his flowers--the cost; the magnificence of his view. And all the while he studied his caller's, face with sharp, furtive glances, trying to find gome clew to the purpose of the workman's visit. Peter Martin's steady eyes, save for occasional glances at the ob- jects of Adam's interest as Adam pointed them out, were fixed on the Mill owners with a hall:wondaring, half-pitying expression. Adam's evident nervoueness increased. He talked of his Mill how he had built it up from noth- 19g almost, to its present magni- tude--of the city and what he had done for the people. Thi old workman listened with- out comment. At last. apparently unable to endure the suspense a moment longer, Adam Ward said, nervous- ly, "Well, Peter, out with it! What do you want? I can guess what you are here for, We might as well get done with it." In his slow, thoughtful manner of speech that was so different from the Mill owner's agitated expres- sions, the old workman said, "I have wanted for nothing, Adam. We have been contented and hap- py in our little home. But now," he paused as if his thoughts were loath to form themselves into words, The last vestige of pretense left Adam Wrad's face as suddenly as if he had literally dropped a mask, "It's a good thing you have heen satisfied," he eaid. coldly. "You had better continue to be. You know that you owe everything you nave in the world to me. You nned not expect anything more," "Have you not made a big pro- fit on every hour's work that I have done in your Mill, Adam?" "Whatever profit I have or have not made on your work is none of your business, sir," retorted Adam. "I have given you a job all these years, I could have thrown you out. You haven't a thing on earth that you did not buy with the checks you received from me, I have worn myself out--made an invalid of myself--building up the business that has enabled you and the rest.of my employers to make a living. Every cent that I ever received from that new process I put back into the Mill, You have had more out of it than I ever did." Peter Martin looked slowly about at the evidence of Adam Ward's wealth, w hen he again faced the owner of the estate he spoke as :f doubting that he had heard him clearly, "But the Mill is yours, Adam?" he said, at last. "And all this is yours, How--where did it come from?" 'Certainly the Mill is mine. Did- n't I make it what it is? As for the place here--it came from the profits of my business, of course. You know I was nothing but a common workman when I started out," "I know," returned Peter, "And I was the new process that enabled you to get control of the Mill-- to buy it and build it up--wasn't it? If you hadn't happened to have had the process the Mill would have made all this for some one else, wouldn't it? We never dreamed that the process would grow into such a big thing for anybody when we used to talk it over in the old lays, did we, Adam? Adam Ward looked cautiously around at the shrubbery that encirc led the bit of lawn. There was no one to be seen within hearing dis- tance, When he faced his companion again the Mill owners eyes were blazipg, but he controlled his voice by a supreme effort of will. "Look here, Peter, I am not going to discuss the matter with you: [I have kept you on at the Mill and taken care of you all these years because of our old friendship and because I was sorry for you. But it you don't appreciate what I have done for you, if you attempt to start any talk or anything I'll throw you and Charlie out of your jobs tomorrow. And I'll fix it, too. 50 you will never either of you get another days' work in Millsburgh. That process is my property, No one has any interest in the patents in any way. I have it tied up so tight that all the courts in the world couldn't take it away from me. Law is law and I propose to keep what the law says is mine. I haye thousands of dollars to spend in defense of my rights where you have dimes. You needn't whine of moral obligations either. The only obligations that are of any force in business are legal! If you have- n't brains enough to look after your one else to look after them for you." When Adam Ward finished his countenance was distorted with bate and fear. Before this simple, kindly old workman in whose hon- est soul there was no shadow of a wish to harm any one in any way, the MNsill ownor was like a creature of evil at bay. "I did not come to talk of the past, Adam Ward," said Pete, sad- ly. "And I didn't come to threat- eB yon or to ask apything for my- self." At the gentle sadness of his old friend's manner and words, Adam's eyes gleamed with vicious triumph, "Well, out with it!" he demanded, harshly. "What are you herg for?" "Your boy and my girl love each other, Adam." An ugly grin twisted the gray lips of Pete's employer. But Mary's father went on as though he had not seen. "The child- ren were raised together, Adam, I have always thought of John almost as if he were my own son. It secs exactly right that he should want Mary and that she ebould want him. There is no man in the world 1 would rather it would be." Adam listened, still grinning, as the old workman ontinued im his slow, quiet speech. "I never cared before for 'all that the new process made for you. You wanted money--I1 didn't. But it don't seem right that what you have --considering how you got it-- Ishould stand in the way of Mary's happiness. I understand that there is nothing 1 can do about it. but I thought that, considering ev- erything, you might be willing to " Adam Ward laughed aloud-- laughed until the tears of his insane glee filled his eyos. "So that's your game," he said, at last, when he could speak. "You hadn't brains enough to protet yourself to start out with and you have found that you haven't a chance in the world against me in the courts. So you try to make it by setting your girl up to catch John." * "You must stop that sort of talk. Adam Ward." Peter Martin was on his feet, and there was that in his usually stolid countenance which made the Mill owner shrink back. "1 wae a fool, as you say. But my mistake was that I trusted you, 1 believed in your pretended friend- ship for me. I thought you were as honest and honorable as you seemed to be. 1 didn't know that your religion was all such a rotten sham. I have never cared that you grew rich while I remained poor. All thase years I have been sorry for you because I have had 60 much of the happiness and con- tentment and peace that you have lost. But you must understand, sir, that there are some things that I will do in defense of my child- ren that IT would not do in defense of myself." Adam, white and trembling drew still farthor away. "Be careful," he cried, "I can call hall a dozen men before you can move." Pete continued as if the other had not spoken, 'There is no rea son in the world why John and Mary should not marry." Adam Ward's insane hatred for the workman and his evil joy over this opportunity to make his old comrade suffer was stronger even than his fear. Wth another snarl ing laugh he retorted, viciously, "There is the hest reason in the world why they should not marry. I am the reason, Pete Martin! And I'd like to see you try to do any- thing ahout it." Marys father answered softly "I do not understand your hatred for me, Adam, All these years | have been loyal to you. I hays never talked of our affairs tq an " one----- Adam interrupted him with a burst of uncontrollable rage, "Talk, you fool! Talk all you please. Who will believe you? You will got yourself laughed at for be.ag the short-sighted idiot you were That process is patented in my rame. Iownit.. You don't need to keep still on my account, but I tell you again that if you do try to start anything I'll ruin you and I'll ruin your children." Suddenly, as if in fear that his rage would carry him too far His manner chang ed and he spoke with enforced eold- ness. "I am sorry that I cannot continue this Interview, Pete. You have all that you will ever get from me--children or no children, Go on ahout your business as usual and you may hn'd your job in the Mill as long as you are able to do your work. I bad thought that I might give you a sort of a little penslon when you got too old to keep up your ond with the rest of the men." And then Adam Ward added the crowning insolent expression of hi: insane and arrogant egotism With a pious Bmirk of his gray. twitching face, he said, "I want you to know, too, Peter, that you can approach me at any time with: out any feeling of humiliation." He turned abruptly away and a moment later the old workman, saw him disappear behind some tall bushes. As Pete Martin went slowly back to the entrance gate he did not |know that the owner of the estate was watching him. From bush to bush Adam crept with the stealthy care of 'a wild creature, following its prey--spever taking his eyes from his victim, save for quick glances here and there to see that he himself was not observed. Not until Pete had passed from sight down the hill road did Adam appear openly. Then, going to the watch- man at the gate, he berated him for admitting the old workman and threatened him with the loss of his position if he so offered again. When Peter Martin arrived home he found Jake Vodell and Charlie discussing the industrial situation. The strike loader had come once more to try to enlist the support of the old workman and his son in his war against the employer class. (To be continued.) THAT ARRAN TWP. CASE (Collingwood Bulletin) Gradually the authority of the municipalities has been reduced A case in point comes from the township of Arran in Bruce county where the township council decided in its wisdom or otherwise to make a change in the road superinten- dent. Their action however is not approved by the Provincial Depart- ment of Highways which pays one half of the salary. Like the Mea- ford Mirror we know nothing of the situation in Arran but we are in accord with it that "it should be 2 principle in the mater of appoint- ments that one body and only one has the sole jurisdiction. "No man canserve two masters." If two bo- dies have equa] right in appoint- ments there will always be clashes. Either the department or the town- ship should have the final word in the matter and then there would be no deadlockd."
