I Labor’s Action Causes Anxiety

LONDON, July 30.—Pubiie opinion is agitated over the reported inten- tion of the Government, to abolish the High Commissicnership in Egypt, Wplfifling it by an ambassador or minister at Cairo, and also to reduce the strength of soldiery to the status‘ °l Civil Dolice as a gesture indicating non-interference in domestic aflairs of Egypt.

It is questionable whether this yielding attitude will have the effect Labor expects, or whether as in the past, it will lead orientais to believe that British prestige and power hgvg weakened. and will be followed by further demands from the Wafd element there.

"it was Lord Lloyd's resistance to the policy of withdrawal of full Brit- ish control which caused his breach with the Government. Time alone will show whether the new policy will have an unfavorable influence upon the Sues route and whether it will encourage Egypt in its hitherto re- Jected claim to suzerainty in the Su- dan, with the accompanying serious problems connected with the Nile barrages.

Maritimes Plqn Big Exhibit At Toronto

FREDERICTON, N. B. July 30- The Maritime Province exhibit at the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto this year will be the biggest project of the kind the three At- lantic provinces have ever undertak- en. according to J. D. Black, Dir- ecior of the New Bruswick Bureau of Information and Tourist Travel. who has returned from a conference at Monctcn with Col. B. Innes, Dep- uty Minister of the Nova Scotia Dept. of Natural Resources, re- garding details for the construction and erection of the exhibit.

Col. Innes was enroute to Toronto to arrange for commencement of ac- tual work on the exhibit and the de- sign to be followed in the exhibiting oi Maritime products was discussed. Col. Innes is to meet the reprmflil- tives of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island at Moncton upon his return and he will then bring with him a model showing just how the exhibit will appear.

The space allotted for the Maritime exhibit is inthe Dominion Govern- ment building"and is part of thO space occupied by the iarBe displly which the British Empire Merketlns Board had at the Toronto 1111' in i028.

Main Features of Maritime Exhibit

The main feature of the Mlritiml Provinces exhibit, which will be 11P- wards of sixty feet in 1611801 in Id" diiicn to office accommodations, will be a map over 20 feet in length and 12 feet in height, which will be.

anvt FANS T0 AVERT CUNFLIBT

Fifteen 111mm Mm. Are Closed As Result of Wage Dispute.

MANCI-ESTER, England, July 80.

-A half million cotton trade workers struck this morning, closing down 1,500 mills, when employers refused to recede from their intention of cut- ting wages 121.5 per cent. ' the strike was automatic, having been decided upon on Saturday, Last minute efforts to avert it on Saturday and Sunday failed. 1t affected almost the entire Lancashire cotton industry with the exception of a few big plants outside the employers federa- tion which were atili operating. It was the outgrowth of continued de- pression in the textile trade which three weeks ago led to an announce- ment by employera that a 12% per cent reduction in wages would be made effective Saturday. The workers‘ unions l-efused to accept the reduc- tion and ordered the strike when ef- forts at negotiating their differences were rebuffed by employe s.

Nflrly every city and town in Lan- cashire were affected by the strike which was expected to cause a. loss in wages of about £1,000,000 (about 85.000000) weekly. All miiiswere open as usual today for the workers, but the unions were staunch in their de- fiance of the order. The mills remain- ing still open were those whose own- ers are not members of the Masters Federation. They announced yester- day they would continue paying the old rate temporarily. They employed only a few thousand, however, out of Lancashirek half million workers.

A statement issued by Sir Horace Wilson. secretary of the Minister of Labor, laid the blame for the walk- out aquareiy on the shoulders of the employers. He said the workers throughout had offered to submit the issue to a court, of arbitration and to accept the decision of the court,

On the other hand the employers were alleged to have refused to with. draw their notices or to await the Rovernment inquiry. About 250,000 weavers and 250,000 spinners were affected.

The minister of labor, guided by Miss Margaret Bondfield, its minister, continued today its efforts to recon- oiie the disputants but it was consid- ered s. hopeless task at least for the present. There was a possibility Premier MacDonald would attempt to harmonize the situation. '

There was a feeling some sort of

government action still could save the day and prevent the misery and fin- anciai depression which eventually follows British trade’ disputes. In this event the operating gplnnlng section probably would ask for rs. aumption of negotiations on their own account. It was expected» eh. mm owners would meet them half way. arranged and the front of the ex. hibit will have a row of colored photographic transparent views. m the available space in front. of the map and the panels with paintings of scenes, the threaprovinees wiiihavc exhibits of natural reaouryol. pro- ducts of the industrial, and trophies indicative of the recreational attrac- tions of the bdaritimel.

Inasmuch as the Canadian Nation- al Exhibition opens at Toronto on Aug. 38rd and continues until lept. 7th, there is little time how avail- able for assembling the material re- quired for the exhibit.

FARMERS FACE HEAVY HISSES

Crops In Western Can. ada Still Suffering From Prolonged Drought.

(Canadian Press)

With crops scarred by days of scorching heat, farmers in many parts of Canada tonight faced heavy losses, while from coast to wast, the ugly menace of fires were reported from the forest areas. While the farmers were forced to stand helplessly by and see their crops burned by a re- lentless sun. thousands cf men ac- tively combatted the forest fires from land and air. Dominion and provin- cial authorities directed the fight against the forest fires aided by private citizens in the areas affected.

‘The greatest monetary loss was faced by the farmers in the three prairie provinces, "The granary of the lhnpire." The extreme drought in western Canada went unreiieved again today with the weather man predicting at least another ill hours of dry weather. Thermometers in the west soared to new heights, Em- press, Alta. reporting 104 degrees, and reports were that even feed crops would be useless if rain held eff much longer. Experts have el- ready predicted greatly reduced yields from the early estimates. Hot dry weather prevailed over al- most the entire North American con- tinent, according to reports today. With the exception of the Pacific coast the entire United States was in the grip of a heat, wave today. Long spells of dry weather had ad- versely affected crops in many states while federal and stale governments were actively engaged in combatting forest fires so widely spread that the president of the American For- estry Association urged greater ef- forts to prevent what he feared might become a national pin.

l/Vhleat Yield Will Not Exceed 225 Million Bushels

(Special to the Guardian) WINNIPEG, July 30—-Wl‘ieat, yield will approximate 225,000,000 bushels. In spite of the heavy reduction in crop prospects farming communities are prosperous. These are the de- ductions of Bruce McBean, promin- ent Winnipeg grain broker, who, to- day returned from an extensive tour of the three western provinces. l-fe was, however, firmly of the opinion that the wheat yield this year would not exceed 225,000,009 buehell.

l “After traversing the main grain producing areas of the three western ’ provinces along the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the south and of the Canadian National in the norih and crossings between lines and to the interational bound- ary, I am in a position to Judge the real condition of» our crop," stated Mr. McBean. 1

Triple Deaths Are Murder Mystery

LONDON, July filo-The sudden deaths of three members of a Croy- den family, which for months have engaged the closest attention of police authorities, developed into a full-fledged murder mystery with a verdict of murder by poison return- ed by a coroner's jury.

The other two persons who died from poison were Mrs. Violet Amelia Sidney, mother of Vera, and Edmond Creighton Duff, who was Mrs. Bid- ney's son-in-law. Duff died on April 27th 1928, Vera on Feb. l4, 1929, and Mrs. Sidney on April 5, 1929. .

The suspicious circumstances at-i tached to their deaths csusedthei exhumation of the bodies, and a cor- 5 onefs Jury for weeks has been hear- 1 ing testimony, the case stirring up’ an unusual amount of interest since it bore all the marks of being one of those major crimes which at times‘ make their appearance in British criminal history.
