Decrease In 4' Unemployment In Britain

' normou, August o-m the first time sincp before the crisis of 1931. Great Britain today got the number of registered unem- ployed below the 2,000,000 mark- gln elusive goal at which the gov- ernment has aimed annually. Todays figures showed unem- ployed. at 1,972,044, a decrease of

27,169 compared to June, and 153,- '

319 compared with July of last year. It is the lowest total since 1980.

The improvement gives solid gmund for satisfaction, the Minis- icr of Labor declared in an accom- pgnyiflg statement. as seasonal {actors usually bring about an in- crease in unemployment at this time of the year. These have been outweighed by more favorable in- ilueilces. so the figures for July m- exceptional in several respects.

The number of persons on the insurance lists has increased by about a million.

IPAY INCREASE

ENDS REVlliT

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) ATHENS, Aug. 6—A 15 per cent pay boost restored outward har- mony today to Candia, Crete, as 4,000 strikers returned to their Jobs after a brief but fierce revolt. Tho wage increase was negotiat- od by General Bakapcuios, who dispersed the strikers last night after day-long street fighting kill- ed six and wounded 51.

Despite rumors of a dangerous situation in neighboring villages. Government officials asserted they were in full control.

Workers said the uprising was caused by the failure to meet their demands, chiefly for a raise. Oth- er sources had attributed the re- volt to adherents of former Pre- mier Eleutherios Vonirclos, now under death sentence after lead- ing an unsuccessful uprising last March.

Responsible quarters also said tho question of restoration of the monarchy was involved and that republicans in Crote were opposed to the policies of Gen. George Kondylis, Minister of War and an active rnonarchist.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wits) FREE CITY OF’ DANZIG, ‘Aug. 0. -A general belief that Poland may soon announce some sort of reprlsai against Nozi Danzig for rupturing their customs union had this city to- night in a state of ca,‘ ctanc .

Several ships arrived with Ger- man coal, shoes and textiles but Polish authorities puzzled 1‘ gero by complete silence. Trains and buses entering Poland from Danzig, however, were inspected more closely than ever, and the force of Polish inspectors along tho border was in- creased.

The Nazi Donal; Senate recently precipitated the row by ordering that German goods may enter the city free of duty. Poland promptly arranged to collect duty on those leaving Danzlg for Poland.

Officials here awaited the return from Warsaw of Dr. Frederick Pa- pee, Polish Commissioner, who is holding uua ltations with his gov- ernment.

Responsible circles in Berlin, it was believed, are watching every move closely.

It was an open secret that in ra- cent years in order to maintain Danzig’s German character, despite economic cooperation with Poland provided in the Treaty of Versailles, Berlin had helped this city meet ex- penditures.

Since Jan, i036. however, Ger- many has cut down the amounts, it was saidbecause of Saar outlays and for other reasons. There were nrmors that tho failure of Danzig to g0 cverwhelmingl Nazi in last springs ‘ " resulted in an ob- l‘ r‘ " I Poland has provided that German goods imported into Poland by way of Danaig will bo seized at. the bor- der if the duty in not already paid.

Salary Question Dis- cussed at Dominion- wide Gathering.

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

UITAWA. August 6—'l‘he aver- Ilse salary of the rural school teache in Manitoba last year was $450. Miss Carolin Parkinson, Presi- dent of the Manitoba section of the 31111111111111 Teachers’ Federation told the 14th annual conference of the organization here today. While for the coming year some increases

was disappointingly slow and un- evenly distributed. There was much uneasiness about the future. said Miss Parkinson.

A questionnaire sent to fxltario teachers indicated the situation this year would be unchanged foul-n that of last year. S. H. Henry. Gen- eral Secretary of the Ontario branch, tcld the Federation. He deplored the drastic action in Port Arthur, where salariu had been drastically cut.

i On the matter of teachers’ no.1- aries H. C. Rickart of New Bruno- wlck said the collection of these was a serious difficulty. "The country people have fel-t. and con- tinue to feel the depression most severely. The collectors are lenient to their neighbors. and. many take advantage of these conditions. The N.B.T.A. has assistcd a number of teachers in collecting overdue salaries. but it does seem that a new mietlwd for collecting school tiaxes in rural districts is long over-

ue.

"rt is more pleasing to note that many school boards have been able to restore fully. all salary cuts. Some of the larger centres have done this and other; are expected soon to followthefr example," said m. Rickart.

L .B. Titus, for Saskatchewan. said the teachers of Saskatchewan seed the aid of the Government in the matter of collecting arrears of salary amounting at the end of 1933 to over $600,000 and now prob- ably amounting to at least $1,000- 030

J. W. Barnett said the salary curve in Alberta. had been steadily on the decline since 1929 when the average salarly ln rural schools was $1059. It had now dropped to $739.

"We believe however that this drop in salary of Alberta teacehrs. has been less severe than in any other province in the Dominion. with the possible execption of ‘British Columbia.

Later the War Department an- nounced that all prospective of- ficers of the classes of 1909-1914 inclusive who have not completed officers‘ training must begin to do so by November 15, ending the training by May 15. 1936.

The order also calls out all men of 17 years of age or more who have not served in the regular army because they received train- ing in military academies.

It also affects officers now liv- ing on pensions who are under the age of 39, and who "still aspire" to readmission into the service.

It also ‘applies to officers who have left the service because of foreign residence.

Simultaneously an announcement from the Italian Embassy in Lon- don said several thousand volun- tarv enrollments from officers and soldiers livlns abroad had arrived to swell the list of volunteers fcr the East African forces.
