PEACE-IN-INDUSTRY NEGOTIATIONS TO BE DECIDED THIS WEEN Chairman of Trades Union Congress May Bring Dis- London, June 27.--The fate of the peacerin-industry negotiations be- tween the Trades Union Congress and the Sir Alfred Mond group of employers will be decided this week. A surprising development, it was stated Monday, was that George Hicks, chairman of the Trades Un- ion Congress, whose speech appealing for peace-in-industry was the first move in the present negotiations, was contemplating bringing the discus- sions to an end in accordance with the demands of Maxton, . Cook, Wheatley and other Labor leaders who object to the idea of their party acting in co-operation with capital, 'The council of the Trades Union Congress will have to handle the manifesto issued by Maxton and Cook protesting against Labor's new policy and Tuesday there was a special meeting of the council for hay urpose of frustrating what is called an attempt to wreck industrial peace negotiations.

It is understood that Hicks T---------------- Felt Bros. 7 he LEADING JEWELERS Established 1886 12 Simcoe St. South objection is that those associated with Sir Alired Mond in the present move cannot speak for all the em: ployers, and he is supported in this view by others. Strenuous efforts, nevertheless, are being made by moderate Labor lead- ers to prevent any break, and what the outcome will be no one at pres. ent will dare prophesy. The move launched by Maxton and Cook to revive the original fight be- tween capital and labor has caused much excitement throughout the party. Few support their efforts while there is much general condemnation because it is feared the work of these two men will threaten the un- ity of the party, Those who have been in negotiation with the Mond group, however, say that whether further negotiations take place or Reports will be presented to the council of the Trades Union Con- gress that questions relative to trade union recognition of victimization and other vital matters between la bor and. capital have been discussed with much satisfaction by the trade unions. In this connection it is urged that the negotiations must continue if the workers are to benefit. The first stage in the battle be- tween the Cook-Maxton group an others will be fought notwithstand- ing, and it undoubtedly will show de finitely which way Labor is- going. mE--_------------ ZERO IN SILENCE PRODUCED In a soundproof room at Utretcht, Holland, "sensitive instruments trem- ble slightly when a jazz band bursts into discord without, but the human occupants .hear no sound.

"Our visit will not take place until after we have been to Ire. land". Baron Von Huenefeld refused to go further into the details of the pro- posed visit, saying that he would telh more about it at the Steel Helmet demonstration. The Baron, with Capt. Keehl and Major Fitzmaurice, were guests on Sunday night of the former Crown Prince and his brother, Prinée Aug- ust Wilhelm, at Hiller's Restaurant in Unter Den Linden, which was fre« quented by nobility betore the war. Seemingly, the Baron learned of the publication of his acceptance of the Doorn invitation when he was shown the German newspaper which stated that it had received its information "irom Holland." The Baron was highly indignant over the sarcastic comment in "Die Welt am Montag," a Radical weekly, that his visit to Doorn would renew the confidence of the Steel Helmet in Von Huenefeld since that organ- ization was disturbed recently by the Baron's assertion that he would ac- cept an invitation from the Reich's Banner, the leading Republican so- ciety, if one was offered. YT will never let my private visits be prescribed," said the Baron, " am sure that my attitude will be respected by Americans." Nearly three times as many peo- ple are receiving outdoor relief in England as just before the World ly. War. --_------ J CHEVROLET | Come "along! ™ Join the car, Whatever your trade or you are . , You're missing a lot of y Your cash finds no better procession, Everyone's driving a profession , .

State- ments were tabulated by the Domin- ion Bureau of 'Statistics irom 6,563 firms with 943344 employees, as compared with 884,262 on May 1; this increase of 59,082 persons, or 6.7 per cent., brought the index num- ber to 1124, or nearly three points above the previous high level in the last Sigh years, recorded on Sept. 1, 1927. The increase on, the date under review involved more workers than that indicated in any other month of the record. Unusually large advances were re- gistered in manufacturing, construc- tion and transportation, while log-~ ging, trade, services, mining and communications also showed import- ant increases. ; Expansion was noted in all of the five economic areas, firms in Quebec aiid Ontario employing the greatest number of extra workers. ; Further improvement was noted in the Maritime Provinces, according to statistics received from 563 employ- ers with a combined working force of 70937 persons, as compared with 66,838 in the preceding month.

In Quebec, construction, manufac- turing and transportation recorded prongunced increases in personnel, and smaller gains were shown in log- ging, mining, services and trade; the gain in logging was due to river. drivers. Employment was in consid erably greater volume on the same date in any of the last seven years, the index being over three points higher than on June 1, 1927, when important advances had also been in- dicated. Statements were tabulated from 1416 firms employing 261,222 workers, or 18,497 more than in their last report. The situation in Ontario was better than in any other month of the years since 1920, the index standing at 108.5, as compared with 101.5 at the beginning of June, 1927, when the trend was also upward. The pay- rolls of the 3,001 co-operating estab- lishments aggregated 395,343 per- sons; on May 1, they had 376,864 employees, Manufacturing (particu- larly of iron and steel and lumber products), construction and transpor- tation registered the greatest expan- sion, but gains were also noted in mining, trade, logging and services, ee -------------- TWO KILLED, 60 ARE HURT BY LIGHTNING Helsingford, June 26. -- Two Lh ' AR ACY gt ' AN (A mn!
