ten per cent cut in salaries of civil

Ryckman, Minister of National Revenue, today mme out strongly in favor of the reduction. While it could hardly be said that he had ever cut anyone‘s salary, and while he was opposed to the cut until he had thought the matter over, Mr. Ryckman declared himself now in favor of the reduction.

Through n, he said, “there has been brought about a special sense of real financial responsibility that goes throughout the whole civil service. The cut is from the Prime Minister down, and there is such an attitude now towards expendit- ure that there never was before, and which never could have been brought about except for that cut."

“Is the Minister in favor of the exemptions?" interjected I". G. Ban- derson, (Lib, Perth South).

"I will tell you thatwhen the voting comes," replied the Minister. “But in case that answer is too short, I will say that I am in favor of everybody paying who can rea- sonably be made in pay."

m. Ryckman added that he had a reservation in respect to judges. In the civil service, he said, there had been extravagance, "great ex. travagance." He had never seen, prior to coming to Ottawa, such ex- penditures for stationery, telephone and telegraph charges. “There is no business in the world that would put up with the telegram policy of the Government," said Mr. Ryck- man. No thought was given to sav- ing by sending night instead of day

essages, and telephone calls were carried on without any considera- tion oi time.

"An effort, is being made," said Mrsflyckman, whose department sets duty valuations, "to stop the importation of goods which would have no benefit to the consumer, and to give to the manufacturer of Canada the right to sell his goods in this country."

Within a. short’ time thereafter Edison left Canada in a hurry. “One night," was his version of the episode," I got an order to hold a freight train, and I replied that I would. I rushed out to find the signalman, but before I could find him and get the signal set the train ran past. I ran to the telegraph of- fice, and reported that I could not hold her." m the meantime the despatcher had permitted a train bound 1n the opposite direction tc leave the next station. “There was a lower station near the junction where the day operator slept. I started for it on foot. The night was dark, and I fell into a culvert and was knocked senseless." ‘The alert engineers of the respective trains however saved the situation. Edison was summoned to T to to appear before the General Man- ager. During the course of the en- quiry, visitors tcnlporarily engaged the attention of the General Man- ager and Edison decided to slip, away. At the Grand Trunk freight station he found a friendly con- ductor who took him to lamia, and the ferry landed him on Michigan soil. There he felt somewhat re- lieved. He did not return to’ Can- ada, neither did he relinquish

By improving his writing and turning out a readable copy at a high rate of speed, he was shortly promoted from the ranks of the "plugs" or inferior operators, to those of the first-rate men. He was an excellent penman, and before his promotion he had added to his salary by making theatrical scripts. It was his ability to turn out good copy that primarily secured pro- motion aud brought him to Boston with the Western Union.

A Great Reader

Edison was not a mere routine‘ worker nor idle waster of time. Al- ways a at reader, he was fond of hunting bargains in the second- hand book shops. Once in a Louis- ville auction-rocm he got 20 volumes of the North American Review, un- bound, for $2. He had them bound and sent to the Western Union of- fice. Easly one morning when he had finished work he shouldered

lowed the explosion. William Hy- man, 28, died tonight in the hospi- tal. . The plumbing shop recently was moved forward six feet to bring it in line with other stores in the block between Ford and La Belle Avenues. Highland Park officials expressed the belief the gas main may have been left exposed in the operation or that it was otherwise disturbed to cause a leak.

Tonight, it seemed established that an exposed gas pipe had been broken while coal was being un- loaded into the basement. The coal delivery men spread a. warning of the gas leak, but before the stores and apartments nearby could be vacated the explosion came.

/F1oyd Baker, Highland Park fire chief, was in the alley in the rear of the plumbing shop at the time of the blast. He was struck by a brick and knocked to the pave- ment, but was notseriously hurt.
