Conditions Are Average Peterboro.Labor conditions in Pe- terboro are very satisfactory and the which isthe average for this time of the year. The number of employ- crs who are seeking any help are very small, the greatest number be- ing among: the farmers who are want ing extra help with the crops that are maturing at this season. It is stated that the better class of men are employed and that the drifter is always present sceking a job which he never scems to find, There is a little spell of unemploy- ment among the carpenters of the city, This class is effected by the ups and downs of the trade and va- rious other causes which seem to be active at present, Either a revolving cutter or planer can be used with a new tool of Ger- man design that is operated by an electric motor through a flexible cable.

Heath, wealthy elevator engineer, last night said he would surrender to- morrow to federal authorities in connection with the presumed drowning to the officer. The prohibition agent, Richard J. Sandlands, has been the object of a quiet but intensive search by federal authorities since carly Saturday. Heath said he and Sandlands fell into the Detroit river after a struggle which occurred when the officer, without identifying himself, attempted to arrest him and his wife, Mrs. Maxine Heath, aboard their boat. Heath swam back to the boat, he said, but he never saw Sandlands again Sandlands and Inspector Milton Larson seized the 33-foot speed boat Maxine, shortly after midnight Friday, The boat was taken to the Detroit Edison company dock and Larson went to telephone the patrol base of the seizure. He said he left Sandlands guarding the boat and the man and woman who were in it. When he. returned to the dock, Sandlands, the couple and the boat were gone. He said the couple had been drinking. Two fishermen told him they had seen three persons get into the boat and head out into the river. After they left the dock all the lights were turned out, they added. The Maxine was again sighted off Port Lambton on - Saturday night, fishermen re: ported. Petty confirmed the report of the missing man after an unidentified man telephoned a Detroit news- paper: "A dry agent probably was knocked off last Friday and his body can be found in a boat well on the east side" The wells were scarched but without result, Islands in' Lake Huron were being searched today for possible traces of Sandlands and the couple with whom he disappeared. Petty has asked the assistance of the Detroit and Canadian police. Sandlands, who is 24 years old, You Poor Kid, Why Are You So Skinny?

J. R. Cooke, Acting Chairman of the Ontario Hydro- Electric Power Commission, that a $15,000,000 melon, representing physical assets and reserves of the Commission, is ready to. be split among the municipalities of the Central Ontario System, the mo- ment the 14 or 15 municipalities of this system still outside the fold line up with the Hydro policy and purchase their own electrical dis- tributing systems, Under the legislation which Pre- mier Ferguson has promised, to validate such procedure, each of the municipalities will share 'in the $15,000,000, according to the size and earnings of its total sys- tem, Last night's announcement came at a public meeting addressed by Mr. Cooke in connection with the vote by which Belleville next Thursday will decide whether they will buy their distributing system at the Hydro's book price of §1886,- 000, and by so doing line up with Lindsay, Peterboro and Oshawa municipalities which have hought their systems in the gradual '"'un- scrambling" of the whole Central Ontario system. Belleville Won Over From the tone of last night's meeting it is fairly evident that Belleville has been won over to the Hydro fold. If the vote next Thursday is as the Hydro Commis- sion expects it will be, Cobourg, Trenton, Picton, Napanee and oth- er places will shortly pursue the course. With the completes *"'un- scrambling" of the Central Ontario zone the Hydro will be abs to point to more than 500 municipal- ities in the Province that own and operate their own distribution sys- tems. F. A. Gaby, Chief Engineer of the Hydro Commission and W. W, Pope, Secretary, addressed the ga- thering--the former on the matter of financing involved in the trans- fer of the Belleville system, and the latter on the question of bene- fits to accrue to the city once it had taken the step that Lindsay. and more recently Oshawa, had done.

NEXT THE POST OFFI TINO ARE FIRM AGAINST WAGE CUT Cotton Operatives Willing to Negotiate Only on That Basis Manchester, England, Aug. 6. -- A deadlock prevails as the great cot- ton strike enters « its second week. The situation, with 500,000 operatives in 1,500 Lancashire cotton mills re- fusing to start work at the reduction proposed by the owners, is rapidly reaching an omin- ous position, The workers and their families lost altogether about five million dollars in wages last week. | The scanty unemployment insurance affords a bare subsistence, in the best of cases. "The Lancashire Suicide club," a cartoon by the famous Low of the Evening Standard, aptly sums up the situation. It shows the principals of the "Muddle and Mug Cotton Mills, Ltd." seated in swing chairs in their office, with a rope around their necks and the other end tied to the candela- bra. French, German and Japanese commercial travellers are depicted seizing orders back off the desk and ramming them into their bags, telling "Muddle" and "Mug" --""Well, if you are really determined to commit sui- cide, you won't mind if we take our heritage now." Deny Negotiations Report A statement that cardroom workers have decided to negotiate with the employers on the basis of some reduc- tion in wages is emphatically denied by the secretary of the amalgamated association of cardblowing and ring- room operatives. Delegates by 30 votes to 25, refused to grant the un- ion power to negotiate on the ques- tion and consequently the deadlock remained, with no immediate prospect of settlement, according to this offi- cia Prayers were offered in Lancashire churches Sunday for an early settle- ment of the dispute. Though the may- ors of 10 Lancashire cities have of- fered to mediate, there are no signs of settlement. The employers say they are ready to negotiate on the basis of a wage reduction, and the workers say they they are ready to negotiate so long as there is no suggestion of reducing wages. Meanwhile the half-million workers involved are making the most of their enforced holiday, while their money lasts, Signs are indeed not wanting that Lancashire's competitors in the cot- ton trade abroad are ready to take the utmost advantage of the great opportunity offered them. This was brought home by the announcement that' several Nottingham lace manu- facturers have already placed big orders for cotton yarn with foreign firms, Whether or not there will be any early move for re-opening negotia- tions between employers and workers depends largely on the meetings of delegates of the amalgamtion of spinners and operatives. The district associations of this union have been busy during the weck-end discussing the recommendation of the executive council that the question of settle- ment should be left in the hands of the council, and that it should be given power to negotiate in an effort to obtain the best possible terms pending ratification by the whole membership. The views and votes of these dis- trict meetings will be reported to to- morrow's gathering. Reports of these district meetings up to late to-night afforded no reliable indication as to the way the voting at the general meeting will turn. KILLED IN CONVENT Nuns Struggle to Rescue Rescuer From Electro- v cution Montreal, Aug, 6--An electric shock caused by a short circuit, in- stantly killed one man yesterday and nearly caused the death of a would-be rescuer, when he tried to pull the body away from the live wire, The dead man was Damien Leclerc, '27 of this city, an employe of the convent of the Holy Name of Jesus and Mary. His companion who was working with him at the convent when the accident occurred was B. MacDonald, 26, also of Montreal, MacDonald, when he saw Damien fall with sparks and flames around his body, rushed up and tried to pull him away from the wire with his bare hands. He also received the shock but several nuns managed to turn off the current and get him away from the wire. First-aid immediately applied revived Mac- Donald and after being taken to the hospital for further treatment he was able to vetury fo h return fo lis ho home. WOMAN DROWNED NOT LOST, THEORY Detectives Believe Irene La- mont's Body Will Be Found in Lake Aug. 6--After investigat- ing the circumstances surrounding the tragedy at Houder's lake ten days ago, Detective Arthur Malo of the Quebec provincial police depart- ment has decided Miss Irene Lamont was accidentally drowned at the same time that her three compan- ions, Mrs. J. J. Hisgrove and her nine-year-old son, Denis of Ottawa, and Miss Mamie Taeger of Hull, lost their lives. Detective Malo went to Houder's lake on Saturday = and spent the week-end investigating the case. In a report which he forwarded last night to the Quebec provincial authorities he expresses the opinion that Miss Lamont's body will be found in the lake and asks that a diver be sent to the scene. He be- lieves all the evidence points con- clusively to the tragedy being acci- dental and that the theory that Miss Lamont may have been lost in the woods near the lake is no longer tenable. Detective Ottawa, Malo believes further that one or more members of the camping party got into difficulties in the water and the others perished in a futile attempt to save them, AS CIRCUITS CROSS| Shift them onto us. | We are prepared to smooth the path on moving day at mod- erate cost.
