After prolonged negotiations be- tween the representatives of labour and the Government, the futility of all hope for a peaceful settlement was abandoned on Sunday. A general strike order was issued by the labour leaders to five million men. Only :about one half of these have respond- 'ed with the required action. but the miners, all shipbuilders and repair- Never yet was there an industrial strike of any importance that did not mean hardship. hunger, poverty, loss and even death to some. Capital and labour alike suffer from strikes. There are no winners. The general public always hears its share of the burden, and the burden is always a heavy one. There have been few strikes. however, promising such wide- spread injury as the one commencing this week in Britain. With two and a half million men on strike, with hundreds of industrial activities susâ€" pended, with business paralyzed.and the whole course of everyday life han- dicapped and upset, Great Britain faces a situation that'wonld daunt the boldest spirit. Yet there will be a general faith that Britain will “mud- dle through” and this danger to the national life will pass. lik‘e so many other former perils, to leave (_)ld Briâ€" tain poorer for the day in pocket, but richer for a 1 time in experience. and winning from the testing time a fur- ther progress and stability and one more advance to better thing's for the people. It is the British way to “muddle through,” and turn the ap- parent losses into actual gains. The world has become so small that the strike in Britain is of special in- terest and importance to' Canada,â€" to the North Land,â€"-â€"to the Porcup- pine. Without the strike there was a practical certainty that considerable British capital would come to this country this year, especially for in- vestment in mining: ventures. The strike may prevent the expected in- vestments here, yet, on the othen' hand, there may be a tendency for British capital to seek a country where the danger of paralyzing strikes is less apparent than in the homeland. In such a case there may be special impetus given to British investments in Canada. The exact efiect of the strike on British capital coming to Canada is thus difficult to forecast with any assurance, though it may be taken for granted that the effect will be noteworthy one way or the other. The world is so small that upheavals in London, England, are felt through- out the globe, either as shocks that disturb or ripples that thrill.

Residence 70. $2.00 year $3.00 yea: ONTARIO \Vhile Govermnent and Labour have argued the matte' at issue, the general public have been organizing in self-protection. At 115 centres there are said to be effective organi~ zations ready to carry on the main- tenance of food supplies and the transportation system. The Govern- ment has also been organizing and preparing for the battle. It looks like a bitter fight, with losses all round. It is to be hoped that from it all there will be material gains for the people. Both ‘sides have the advan- tage of clever leaders. Both sides have given great study to the situa- tion. Both sides have no doubt weighed the costs and judged the principles at stake. At this safe dis- tance it may be easy to give a snap judgment on which side is right and which is wrong. Such a decision, however, is of no avail, and no more than an opinion swayed in most cases more by prejudiee than by knowledge. The truth is that about the best that the average man in Canada can do is to sincerely trust that the two con- tending parties may soon reach a com- promise that will remove the possibil- ity of further civil war and assure same way or other an advance in the prosperity and safety of all the people. While They Last The situation has arisen from the proposal of the coal mine owners to lower wages from the war-time rates and to increase the hours from the scales obtaining after 1914. Last summer a strike was averted by the granting of Government subsidies to the coal mines. At the same time the Government had a commission investigate the whole coal mining sit- uation and report on the best methods of adjustment. [t was believed by the Government that both sides would accept the findings of the commission. The commission reported against a continuation of the subsidies. which have already cost the country $1.15.- tNHLUOtHH} in cash direct. The Gov- ernment viewed with dist'avour the prOposal for the taking over of the coal mines by the nation. To accept the report of the commission meant a reduction of wages and some in- crease in hours of labour. This the men would not consider, their motto being: “Not a penny ot't’ wages, nor a minute on working hours." From the standpoint of the men, their case is a strong one. They are simply lighting for the principle of a living wage. Their contention is that under the plans rejected many men with families would be earning no more than five dollars a week. Yet the commission came to the definite and considered conclusion that “costs of production with present hours and wages are more than the industry can hear.” The commission’s report showed that fully 70 per cent. of all the present coal mines in Great Bri- tain are unprofitable. ers. seamen, dock and waterfront workers, steel and tin trades. rail- ways and engineering trades, iron workers, construction men of various kinds, and a long list of allied trades are now on definite and determined strike. \Vzith the coal mines pri- marily concerned, the strike has be- come general. It is a situation along the line of the One Big Union plan at \Vinnipeg some years ago, but the British strike is much better organ- ized and controlled, and infinitely wider in its arrangement and effect. $2.35 Value ---- for only $1.45 A 6 qt.
