Thorvald Stauntlng, to collaborate with the radical left party in the formation of a new social-democrat- lo government now makes it seem possible that the former cigar-maker will be able to realize several of the political reforms he has proposed during the last five years.

Premier Staunting has advocated reduction of the army from 100,000 troops to e. border guard of 10,000 and of the naval forces to six cut- ters. This would cut the annual defence expenditure from $10,000,000 ‘to $4,000,000 and would bring prac- tical disarmamcnt. If the disarma- ment measures go through, Denmark will be the first country in the world to place the full burden of her pro- tection on the shoulders of the frea-

Prince County Jail In- mates Refuse to Shoulder Pick and Shovel.

Yesterday s. futile attempt was made by the law officers of the pro- vincial government to put some oi the many prisoners now in the Prince County Jail to work. With this idea oi putting them out on the roads, as has been so often advocated. a. num- bir of brand new shovels were t bought and delivered at the jail for| this purpose and a sturdy man was l provided es an out door guard to take charge of the gangs. The prisoners, however, rebelled against this new order of things and the uproar could be heard allover the building and far beyond, and was kept up to the accompaniment of rough music for the rest of the day. ‘The affair was not settled, it is understood, at s late hour last night and it was not known whether the militia. might have to be called out today to quell the incipient rebellion.

in Montreal with little chance in the near future of delivery of the grain in their holds have released most of the crews, keepinglbut the minimum necemary to operate them. An ar- rangement has been made by a number of companies whereby the crew may live aboard and receive its meals at the expense of the owners. In this way is avoided (he extreme hardship which would occur if so many seamen were suddenly paid on’ for an indefinite period of time. It also assures the companies having their men ready when the need for the ships comes. ' The number of lake vessels in port today was '16. While the grain con- gestion here, due to world con- ditions of supply and demand is great it is pointed out that more grain has been received into the harbor elevat- ors this season than during the same period last year. There are now 12,993,253 bushels of grain in the four harbor elevators and 6,623,100 in

WASHINGTON, May $4iorm signals are flying over the White House and ths capitol tonight, as President Hoover makes ready to crash the Senate gate. A vote in the Senate is expected tomorrow on the export. bounty amuldmez-t to the farms relief bill and both sides arc claiming e victory. Although the Re- publicans have a comfortable major- ity in the Senate at least 12 Repub- lican senators from the western states Will join the Democrats in passing the bounty amendment over the vigorous protest and objection o! President Hoover. The only uncer- tainty as to the result hinges upon the likelihood that three or four

Democratic senators may vote with the administration. .

Western Republicans Will Join The Democrats In Passing iimendmenl»)

The western senators opposing Mr. Hoover are no doubt influenced b)’ the wheat situation. They say there is a carryover of 800,000,000 bushels from the wheat crop of 1926, without. counting the Canadian reserve 0i- st least 70,000,000 bushels, with ev- ery prospect of a bumper crop in both countries in 1929. An export bpunty of 21 cents a bushel would in their opinion relieve the situation.

President Hoover might veto the bill, but that would mean an open rupture with the weatem wing of the Republican party. Even as matters now stand, the President finds him- self in an embarrassing position and a defeat in the Senate tomorrow would seriously impair his prestige at the van opening o: his admin- iatntim.

623 Postal Employees Were Dismissed Dur- ing the 1919 Strike, Mr. Veniot Declare-s.

(From Own Correspondent) OTTAWA, May 6—This afternoon there was the annual repercusslon of the Winnipeg strike oi 1919 in cou- nection with the postal employers who went out in sympathy but. had no grievances of their own, and the discussion was still under way at six o'clock. Prior to that, however, it was stated that the Govemment‘; legislative programme does not con- template sny revision oi the Mari- time Freight Rates Act during the present session. This was the answer given by Hon. C. A. Dunning, Min- ister of Railways, in the House oi’ Commons today to s. query by H, E. Lavlgueur, (Liberal, Quebec-Mont- morency.) Mr. Lsvigucr had asked if it was the purpose of the Govern- ment to extend the act so that Que- bec City might be included to enjoy the benefits thereof.

In respect of the postal grievances Mr. Veniot stated that it was his opinion, as far as his recollection served him, that 623 postal employ- ees were dismissed during the 1919 strike and that 96 were reinstated, under certain conditions.

The reopening of the question of treatment of reinstated postal enl- ployees, said Hon. R, B. Bennett, leader of the Opposition, involved matters which were a source oi palli- ful discussion in the past. He recali- ed ‘that a numberlof employees had left tllerservice of the Crown there- by dislocating a public service in Winnipeg and had failed to take fld- vantage of the opportunity offered them by the Government for rein- statement. Thcse men were later re- employed under certain conditions provided by an order-in-council. ,

Mr. Bennett, in order to indicate’ public sentiment with respect to the request for reimbursement of rein- stated postal workers with back pays read newspaper comments from Win- nipeg and London, Ont., publications. These items declared that it was rc- grettable that the Dominion Govern- ment. had seen fit to reopen til! Vgnnlpeg strike question and urged that it be left alone. To establish the Justice of payments of back, money to the postal staff, it wouEi, be necessary to admit, the error 01] the governmental attitude in 1919 and’. the rights of those who went on‘ strike. It was suggested that $125,- 000 be divided among the reinstated postal workers. The attitude oi the Government appeared to be: “Pay the money and stop the clamor."

Mr. Bennett did not believe in such a policy. Adoption of the resolution meant a declaration that the strike was justified and that these men were to be treated as though they

Nineteen Years On British Throne

On May 6, 1910, when succeeded his father Edward VII, he began a reign during" which he has been accorded the gratitude and love of his subjects. Many regard acces- sion day this year as a particularly appropriate time for unofficial thanks giving that His Majesty is rcgainlnz his health after his recent illness. King George was not originally in- tonded to be ruler. With the dear.) of his elder brother, the Duke of Clarence, in 1892 he became heir to the throne and although possessed
