Early Settlement Roped

O Meanwhile, Parislans p l a c e d hOpe in the ccbinetls decision for the six-Ike's end by tomorrow. The Government, in special session, an- nounced its determinaticn to keep the public services functioning.

Consequently, it declared, un- lws the strike order given by the inter-union public service com- mittee is withdrawn, the govern- ment isdetennined to commandeer necessary men and materia‘s to maintain the services.

This move, unanimously agreed to by the government, would make it compulsory for the strikers to return to work. The right to strike, recognized under French law, would be abrogated in this iniance and any employee who refused to return to his post would face penalties.

Special Measures

‘nle Government announced 1t hcd taken special measures to in-

general transportation, which was the mom seriously affected.

When the cabinet meeting end- ed, leaders of the General Con- federation of labor condoned with Vice-Premier Leon Blum, Interior Minister Marx Dormoy and Paul inure, minister of state, all social-

ts.

The men then conferred with the Premier. They mfie no com- ment when they left. on their way to report to their administrative commission later tonight.

The government issued the fol- lowing official communique through William Bertrand, under- secretary of state ‘io the premier:

‘Premier Ciioutcmps and Inter- ior Minister Marx Dormoy advised the (cabinet) council of the situ- ation created by the public service strike.

l/Joircious of its Ieuponsibili- U95. the Government showed it- self unanimously rcsclvccl not to tolerate astcppagc in the functions of the public services. It would like to hope that the interested- persciinel, imbued with the sense of their special duties toward the COUNT)’ and with a feeling of national solidarity, will give pr:of cf the necessary calm and wisdom by resuming work without delay. The cabinet council decided in any event and unanimously to main- tain order and assure the indi5_ pensable functioning of the public services."

In July Mr. Chamberlain. Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, succeeded Stanley Baldwin as Prime Min- ister. His place at the treasury was taken by Sir John Simon, who was succeeded at the Home Office by Sir Samuel Hoare.

Despite an increase in living costs. the year was generally sat- i-slwforv from an economic point of view, with en increase in ex- ports and a progressive decline in unemployment.

Late in the year the Govern- ment decided the time was pro- pitious for s. study of Germany's intentions end dispositions. The mission was undertaken by Vis- count Hslifax, 10rd President of the Council. His trip followed Italy's adherence to the German- Japanese anti-Communist Pact on Nov. 6.

A subsequent conference be- tween British Caablnet members and Premier Chautemps and For- eign Minister Yvon Delbos. of France, which occurred in Lon- don immediately after the Anglo- German contact, showed the democratic powers were not dis- posed to make any colonial con- cessions to Germany without a contrlbutlonpn her part toward European peace.

As 193’! drew to a close the most important of Britain's concerns was the Sine-Japanese conflict, which took on more disturbing aspects than the Spanish con- flict.

Britain was the most sorely med 01' the occidental nations. through the Japanese machine- gunmng of its Ambassador to China. Sir l-iughe Knatchbifll- Hugessen, and other members of its embassy and numei-o other incidents. -

Move To Set Wage Standard I n ii u e h e c

MONTREAL, Dec. 29 -(CP)— Officials of Quebec's Fair Wage Board emphasized tonight their new wage ordinance for iuiorgan- ized. labor in the province is de- signed not as an additional burden on business, but rather as an ef- fort to standardize the pay of a vast army of ‘unprotected’ work- ers.

Employers studying the schedule of working hours and wage rates were invited to submit views on the ordinance before it goes into effect Feb. 15. Adjustments prob- ably will he made, it was admitted.

‘The new schedule, whlcli will bring increases as high as 80 per cent to some "greatly underpaid" workers, will not dlstuiib existing contracts between organized labor and employers, Vice-Chairman Georges Croinp and C. H. Cheris- ley, commission member, said.

In general, the ordinance pro- vides a 48-hour work weak for trade and commerce. 40 hours for office woikcrs and 54 hours for ‘retail c tablishmcuis. Thousands iof workers, who heretofore sub- sisted on tips, in such categories as bellboys, mesengers and wait- ers, will receive a regular hourly wage. Taxiclrivcrs, salesmen and door-fo-dcnr o-mvnsscrs will hi! paid by the liour ulicrc they 101'- mei-ly were paid on conunissicn a- lone.

Journeyman and laborers previ- ously paid from 10 cents up an hour will bc paid 25 ccnts an hour for a. 48-hour wcek. or $12 a wcek minimum with time-snd-ii-hzilt overtime over 48 hours and under 30 hours a week. Messengers and bellboys formerly paid as little as $3‘ a wcek will receive 10 cents an hour or .80 a wcek minimum-

In 1931, the United States nskcd the British Government to join in an effort to enforce the provisions of the famous Kellogg Pact and the Nine Powers Treaty, but Britain refwed to do same, with a result that Japan obtained full rights to Manchurla. ‘This action by Bri- tain has been interpreted as an act of deep friendship by Japan and this Oriental Power has ap- preciated it on numerous occas- ions.

In simple words. friendship be-

member of possibility that Canada can fake any active part in the Sine-Jap- anese conflict.

It must riot be forgotten by Can- adians that this country spent a sum of only $4,795,009 in Jallfm during the past fiscal year, while Japan paid the Canadian people more than $21,629,600. Canadian farmers sold to Japanese buyers over $3,000,000 of wheat and over $1,000,000 of flour. Hundreds 0f Canadian factory workers found gainful occupation through em- ployment in the manufactures of over $1,200,000 of automobile parts

for the Japanese trade and more than $1,350,000 poured into Can- ada as a result of business with Japan in the pulp industry. A large number oi other Canadian industries bencfitted from the ex- port trade with this nation and they will continue to do same pro- vided that Canada is on friendly terms with Japan.

on any specific action to punish Japanese aggression in Chino, there is no doubt that the Government at Ottawa. would" soon adopt the same measures. But so far no

such legal action is contemplated -

by the British Cabinet, and there- fore, every suggestion or hint that Canada ought to boycott or adopt any other stem measure against this country would prove only harmful to a great many Can- adians who "enjoy a profitable trade with Japan and they will not tol- erate jeopardizing this gainful busi- ness through any boycott that is certain to bring more damage to Cilnada__tha_n_Japan. _

Night watchmen, some of. whom were paid $4 a wcek of seven days l2 hours a day, will be paid 25 cents an hour for a 48-hour week- This section, it is expected, will force employers to hire additional watchmen, providing more jobs. Some workers in small mills will find their pay doubled. some get- ting $l e day will see their wages pieced on a basis of 25 09MB in
