300 Miners of N e w Waterford Remain On Strike in Sym- pathy With Fellow Workers.

NEW WIAFIlEIR-ZEURD, N. s. May ;__(g_p,)-0perations of No. >12 mine were tied up tonight as 800 miners remained on strike in sym- pathy with the oolliery‘s shooters and loaders, threatened with the 1°55 0g special wage concessions gained in 1929.

Dominion Coal Company's pre- posed abolition oi an additional contract wage o‘: 5 1-4 cents per ton for the shooters and loaders sent the men on strike this morn- jng. This rate, granted because oi difficult mining conditions in the p“, had been originally six cents per ton but was cut down to its present figure 0n the recommenda- tion of the Duncan Commission in 1932. a

since that time, the company had attempted to do away with the lpetlfll rate but was advised against such action by the commission last year. The local contract, however, is subject to cancellation on 30 days notice and the company re- cently gave the required notifica- tion that it would terminate on May 1.

Officials of the United Mine Workers protested this step in s conference with J. C. Nicholson, General Superintendent ol’ Mines for the Domlniion Steel and Coal Corporation. the parent company. A definite reply was to have been icceived on May 4, but the miners declared as they went on strike today that this answer had not

been received.

An unofficial report said today that U. M. W. officers who sought a settlement of the strike were met by the oom/pany with a refusal to negotiate while the miners were otill on strike. '

Mail Letter l” 0n Dry Days

NEW YORK, May 8—(G.P.)—A wet day is not as good a. day to mail a letter as a dry day.

This was demonstrated when preliminaries to a. dinner in honor of James Farley, United States Postmaster-General, were over. The committee in charge of invitations to the dinner on May 13, had elab- orate invitations printed on choice linen. Enclosed in the envelope was a. subscription card mentioning the $6 for privilege of attending, and a return envelope.

Having some misgivings about the weight of the invitation, the com- mittec took u sample to the post- office and had it weighed. It came within the three-cent stamp re- qulrements. So the invitations were mailed. _

The great scientific principle which the committee overlooked, however, was the sample invitation was weighed on a dry clay, and the

actual mailing was done on a wet day.

It was found the linen paper, in

accordance with well-known scien- tlflc principle concerning linen pa- per, began absorbing moisture, ad- ding weight. It became overweight.

Tlic post office department put

"Three-cents due“ stamps on them. The committee felt it had mailed a

dry invitation and ‘had a right to expect the post office department to deliver a dry invitation.

The dinner will cost $6.03 to those attending anyway.

New Zealand Establishing Pulp And Paper Industry

11-1

AUCKLAND. N. 2., May il-Since 1096 New Zealand has been carry- ing on a refoiestration programme Ind the results have been such that plans are now being laid for the organization oi a pulp and paper industry on a substantial scale. New Zealand is a. large importer of Canadian newsprint, vessels oi the Canadian National Stoamshlps fleet plying the route to the Anti- Dodee carrying lame cargoes of this commodity. In 1932 Canada. sup- plied 50.5'%_. of the total quantity imported into the dominion, with the United Kingdom next with 41.5%. Germany and Finland are the two next competitors but the quantity supplied by them is very small as compared with that sup- plied by Canada and the United Kingdom. Canada also leads in the export of wrapping paper with 70.5% of the total quantity import- ed. The United Kingdom is the largest supplier of printing paper other than newsprint, 69.5%, with the United States next, supplying 10.4%. The United States leads in the supply of cardboard. paste- board, woodpulp board and straw- board with‘ 2050b. The United Kingdom supplied 26.8% and Can- ada, the next largest contributor, 15.3%. In paperhangings New Zea- land 1s largely supplied by the United Kingdom, imports being 98.8%. Canada, the next largest contributor, supplied only 0.9%. The United Kingdom leads in the supply oi’ writing paper, 55%. Nor- way is the next largest contributor followed by the United States and Canada. Wrapping paper for or- chardists’ use shows great gain on the part oi Sweden. that country increasing her exports from 8.4% in 193i to 59.8% in 1932. Canada supplied 82.8% in 1932 and in 1932 this percentage dropped to 40.2%. The chief imports of woodpulp, comes from Sweden, that country supplying $34 tons in 1932 out of a total import of 3100 tons and Canada 135 tons.

A Visit To Thrums

If there is one place in the world that has a dual personality 1t is Klrriemuir, the town up in the Forfarshire hills of Scotland that Sir James Barrie immortalized un- der the name of “'I‘hrums."

‘Travelling by road to Aberdeen after leaving Forfar, the Barrie pil- grim will notfce signposts stating so many miles to Kirrleinulr. You can go by bus from Dundee.

A mile to the west of the towh" are the remains of a loch where a canoe and other relics weie found. showing that in the far distant past it was the site of a. lake vil- lage, that most ancient form oi dwelPng places. ‘Experts date the canoe at fifteen centuries before the Christian era.

Nearby is Glamis Castle, birth- place of the Duchess of York. and here histcry goes back to the scene oi Shak:speaie's "Macbeth."

is it any wonder that at least one native of a town with such a. history should become a great storyteller?

A swriali window at the back of the house in which Barrie was born, facing Brcchin road, is pointed out as "Thrums," because that is the window he used to peep out oi’ as a. boy and look across to the Auld Ucht Manse.

The heart or Barrleland is the town house and the square. These figure in nearly all his books. It is from here starts the brae that the window in Thrurns overlooked, and 500 yards from the town house would cover most oi the scenes oi the b:oks. '

The square is slightly changed to day. There is a picture house in evidence and a mill has replaced the hand looms of the old indus- try oi the town.

Mass Production An Aged Custom

CHTCAGO. lvliay 8—(C.P.)—'I'his thing called mass production, blam- ed by many as a contributing factor to depressions, is not new. Even the ancients practiced it, accord- ing to Dr. Frans Blom, archaeolo- gist at Tulane University, who has Just completed an expedition into the Yucatan.

There, he said, he discovered evi- dences of unit production and fab- rication, apparently practiced dur- ing the Maya civilization that flour- ished 1n Central America. Dr. Blom obtained measurements and data regarding an historic nunnery at Uxmsj, a replica o! which will be exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair this summer. ‘

"The stone used in the building,” the professor reported, “was cut and shaped to standard size by the contractor who supplied and deliv- ered it ready to be placed by the architects and builders. Just how these huge blocks were transported through the jungles is unknown, for the Mayans had no steel or iron tools and were not familiar with the principle of the wheel. Probably they were drawn on skids or sleds. All were hewn and shaped with stone instruments.

“Another ‘factory’ existed for the production of clay idols which evi- dently had a place in all Mayan homes." '

Preparing For 9000-Mile Trip

SAINT JOHN, N. B., Mhy 9- (CPJ-Elght men, mostly Canad- ians, will set out from England in May on an adventurous 9,000 mile voyage to Vancouver, B. C., in the 36-ton ship Syrene.

One of the party is "Bud" Bur- den, son oi F. P. Burden, agent- general for British Columbia in Great Britain. Both Mr. and Mrs. Burden were born in New Bruns- wick. The former told about his son's proposed trip before leaving Saint John foi-Iondon after an oi’- flcial visit to British Columbia.

Rev. John Antle, superintendent of the British Columbia coast mis- sion and a. former deep sea fisher- man, will act as captain, and W. B. Greaves, of Victoria, B. C., as mate. Mr. Antle and a member of the crew are now in France preparing the Syrene for her long voyage.

Idle for three years, the boat re- quired considerable overhauling. This work was handicapped by the Canadians’ ignorance of French and the fact that the engineer with whom they were working knew no Fllillish. For a time the affair was ‘all Greek" to the adventurers be- ‘334159 518119-15 0n the instruments were in Greek and consequently Just the reverse of the British sys- tem.

ed of employment if the plan were acted upon.

Covers Three Years‘ Work

Mr. Manion included his state- iiiei-it in his presidential report cov- ering the activities of the order for the past three years.

"The three years since the last meeting were soul-trying to all, with difficulties besetting us which precluded the possibility of advanc- ing the general welfare of our members uswormerly and actually rclegating us to a policy of defence which required. persistence lest we suffer irreparable losses," Mr. Man- ion said.

He attacked as fallacious the statement of a high banking auth- ority Ln the United States that gen- cral business recovery was hinder- ed by the high level of freight rates and that the only way to lessen these was to reduce wages of rail- road employees. A 10 percent cut in railroad wages would effect only “the most negligible savings to pro- ducers and sellers of merchandise." What he called the “wage defla- tion theory" had brought about “collapse and disrepute in the banking business not to mention widespread suffering and retarda- tion of economic recovery," Ml’.
