method of settling disputes the municipal world points out the foolishness of strikes and the better method of settling disputes between capital and labor the frequency with which strikes have been threaten ing and have actually occurred both in this country and in the united states in recent months must have raised a question in the minds of many nonunion people as to why this method of bringing pressure to bear is tolerated and why all labor disputes cannot be settled by arbitration by an arbitrator or arbitrators approved by both parties to the dispute- r i the disorganization of essential services and the re sulting hardship which- the public suffers through some strikes should not be tolerated in a civilized state whose people over a period of several centuries have learned to settle all their other civil disputesand criminal cases in an orderly way through the courts and with little or no loss of time money or inconvenience to anyone except the parties concerned labor may say that the strike is the only way open to them to obtain recognition of their rights or to establish an alleged right but when all other legal rights are defined by statute or agreement and any infringement of those rights has a remedy through the orderly processes of the law- we see no reason whythesame orderly practices should i not apply to industrial disputes the present picture of unions wielding the big stick through strikes savors of feudal times when feudal lords took the settlement of disputes into their own hands and successed usually according to the measure of manpower they were able to control in support of theirclaims finally however the power to control all other lords and their re tainers becanre vesetad in the king and in place of recurrent strife disorder and confusion an orderly system of laws and court procedure was evolved backed by the whole force of the state it we are prepared to recognize strikes as a legal method to be employed toward the settlement of disputes well and good but because the increasing power of the unions appears as a threat to duly constituted governments dominion provincial and municipal and to the peace order and welfare of his majestys subjects it appears to be a situation which requires to be squarely faced and a solution worked out which will bring order out of chaos and outlaw strikes as a method of

york city de partment of health says in an article in a recent issue of hygeia the health magazine of the american medical association i poor health depressed metal attitude and bad posture seem to go together dr peterson says bad posture will throw the body out of alignment and may do serious damage to the internal organs as a result of unnatural compression the writers formula for improving the posture is stand correctly stand as tall as possible without ris ing on your toes get your feet a few inches apart and point your toes forward hold your head up bring your chin in your chest should be up the lower abdomen should be in and flat but dont strain yourself and dont become stiff let your hands hang loosely at your sides be conscious of your postured but try to be relaxed at the same time dare they do it r doubs the wisdom of members of parliament rais ing their indemnity from 84000 to 86000 the probability is that the extra 82000 will be tax free there are no doubt a few reasons for the increase but there are many reasons against it chief one being that can adians must get down to earth on big pay whether its take home or not the tme is rapidly approaching when overhead costs will make it difficult to sell goods and a payroll out of the line soon leads to the drying up of trade and the beginning- of unemployment the allowance would go to all members of parliament twhich means for instance that prime minister mackenzie kingwouldreceive total income of s23000- made up of the train whistle let her blow the municipal council through the reeve has been asked to put weight ibehind a bill now in the making that would give municipalities power to pass a bylaw prohibiting trains from blowing their whistle within the limit of the munici pality passing tne bylaw cities already have such power and now it is proposed to extend it to vilages and townships however the council of stouffville did not instruct its reeve to uphold the bill on theground that there is no com plaint in stoufville against trains using the whistle after all train whistles blow for a definite purpose and even with their shrill warning untold numbers are kill ed in level crossing accidents- every year why increase the danger the reeve declared that many folk would be lonesome without the train whistle farmers near it far across the fields he knows about the time of day it is when he hears its friendly call with many people it is a matter of senti ment folks who are not good sleepers listen for the train at night they do not mind its whistle indeed it is something they would really miss and stouffville will take no action to help quiet train whistles nevertheless the bill islikely to become law but few will be the municipalities that pass a bylaw to make it coper- ative

fully contented withthis proposakto increase the payments for members oftheihouseiof com mons withoutidoin likewise for members of the senate however itmustibe pointed out that thereis a vast difference in the cases of both since the 245 membcrsof parlia menthave had a most difficult- time inmeeting their expenses or carry- ing on properly hvt quite a number of instances with the hint that many members had retired volun tarily prior to the last general elec tions in june solely forthis reason they could not afford to remain in public life under the conditlbns and these included some of the most de sirable representatives in the house of commons then again senators are appointed for lifcisenatorsrdo not have the expense of conducting elections every- four or five years senators do not have to make-con- tributlons to numerous organiza tions in their constituency senators do not sit more than a certain frac tion of the time of members of the house of commons during anyses- f ion probably no more than half the time oriess v- under these circumstances it can be reported that there is much re- v sentment among members of parlia- merit against those- senators who are not fully in accord with this granting of an increase of 2000 a year to members and many mem bers feel that this increase has been long overdue incidentally discus sion about such an increase being urgent for the peoples representa tives has been heard backstage in ottawa forat least fifteen years though it has come into the open only recently particularly as the costs of living in this capital during the war has risen sharply since public- interest has been deeply aroused by sensational head lines- in the press and spectacular stories on the radio aboutthe atomic bomb- it should be stated here that comment on this in ot tawa is reserved and cautious with this jjeing the official attitudewhich ismuchtmore careful inside than outside ottawajiabout the investiga tion being made into the aitairslof

instituted a rhosf thorough in vestigation- into certain sales con tracts between this eldorado mine and its agents with two orderin council measures having been taken to carry out this inquiry which is still going on notwithstanding the- fact that the federal government has been asked to rescind its prombition of adver tising of alcoholic- beverages in eluding such recommendation of a change from

similar loans in this country these facts together with the suggestion that those which have already made loans wanting more caused the government to ask for more money for such loans for the reasons men tioned especially remembering that all loans were based on the condi tion that- the money willbe used to bnuy- canadian goods exclusively mainly foodstuffs raw materials and otherthings needed for the rail ways as well as other reconstruc tion purposes ineurope a forecast has been madeinan extremely reliable source in ottawa that there will bea serious effort soon- to bring in existence an t justment of salaries in this country in order that canada may- retain as well as attractto its public service theibest professional men available in competition to the higher salaries paid in other countries including the united states since there have been rumors on parliament hill lately that following the end of the war some of the best technical or professional brains in canada may go elsewhere this forecast is very important indeed emphasizing that the authorities in ottawa are giving this problem serious attention an impressive national remem brance day ceremony will take place

enjoyed a propserous period dur ing the war yet it- is no secret in the capital that they do not expect these boom conditions to continue for a very long time in fact the president of the cnr has admitt ed that this line will have probably an increased surplus this year but a recession from the high wartime traffic is anticipated predicting that there maybe a net revenue in 1945 of about
