Powers and Stone Inc , Mew York and Chicago MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1930 NO REASON FOR DELAY Doubt as to whether or not Oshawa Labor would be employed, as expressed by one citi- zen in a statement to The Times on Satur- day, should not be valid reason for delaying the starting of the work on the Simcoe Street subway. The city council has, to a large extent, control of that situation. One would naturally expect that the council would, on making the agreement for the work, require a clause to the effect that Osh- awa labor would be used to the greatest pos- sible extent. It is not logical, either, to suppose that any contractor would import labor of the t uired for this job when a large sup- oly of it could be secured right in the city. It would be an economic mistake on the part of the contractor to do so and it is the gen- eral principal adopted in all such work that, outside of the contractor's representatives who are in charge of the job, the general p \ylabor is secured locally. There need be little . he that a different policy will be followed in 'this case, certainly that fear should not be used as an argument for holding up an immediate start on negotiations for the beginning of operations on the subway. CLEANING-UP "y jh sepia Jo! observe the Sifoct which e 8 "cleaning-up" process has on business. At this time of the year, it seems to be the natural thing to do. The house- 'wives tackle the job from the inside, and the men of the house do their share out of doors around the garage, and down in the cellar. And in every home where this is going on, there is 8 demand for many kinds of articles that are essential to the cleaning-up pro- cess. gh This is bound to act as a stimulus to cer- tain of business, and cleaning-up should therefore be encouraged. There is the double aspect to the effect it has on the employment situation, First, it creates a demand for goods that have to be manu- factured in factories, thus keeping the wheels of industry turning at a livelier pace, and secondly, it provides the opportuni. ty for giving casual employment to men who are out of work, Both of these are import- ant. factors in keeping the families of Can. ada ed with their bread and butter, 80, in Jear whea thefe is nore than the average amount of unemployment, it wou be a material help to the situation were the spring "clean-up" to be more intensive and Smprohensive than ever, so that full effect t be given to the slogan of "spend for prosperity." THE SPIRIT THAT WINS 'It is early yet to be thinking of the rugby football season, but the dinner held by the isheral Motors Rugby Football Club, the " Devils," is worthy of comment even at this time. It gave an indication of the competitive sports ~ football, a ae onship 'mext fall, but they have, at least, the right api, wid that Wil go long way. tovards be achisvemem: of the object they have in Eview. 000 their own salaries 'without referring the matter to the ratepayers of the city, The subject was never mentioned during the last election campaign, and so there is ahsolute- ly no semblance of a mandate on which they could act in filling th axpense of the lt been plenty of ts; "too, in other cities, to show the of submitting such increases to a vote o the Jeople be. y. ry, fore Making them ine creases been approved of 'by. the ers there would have been 10 ground for i nt, but the high-handed method of ignor. ng the ratepayers altogether and taking the money, savors too much of autocracy to be popular in any city in this country, WHY THEY LEAVE THE FARM mre ' i A committee of "experts" ih the 'United States, according to recent préss feports, has discovered, so it says, the cause of the con. stant movement in population from the rural to the urban centres. The general impres- sion amony people who are not experts has always been that the worker in the city gives few hours to his labors and gets bet- ter pay than the man on the farm, and that this causes the movement towards the bright lights of the cities. But these experts, who very probably know very little of the subject, except that which they have heard fron. other experts, have satisfied themselves that it is the mone otony of rural life that accounts for the ex. odus from rural communities, In the opinion of The Times, had such a survey been made a quarter of a century ago, a better basis for this con. clusion might have been found. Rural life is no longer drab and tiresome, for the sea- son that the automobile, telephone, radio, newspaper, magazine, good roads have brought the city to the country and taken the country to the city. If some of these "experts" would but spend a winter among the people whose welfare they aim to im. prove they would find conditions entire! different from those which they see throu their smoked glasses. They would find many causes from the trend from country to city, For one thing, not every boy and gir] born ona farm is yet attracted by the life in the country ,and so another suitcase is packed and another railway or bus fare is pald to the city, Boys and girls are bound to find their way to the urban centres of population 80 long as newspapers are published and magazine articles are written. In them they read of the success of others, success that has been achieved in the city, not on the farm. And dull, monotonous life, as referred to by the "experts" has nothing to do with that exodus, which in future years will be- come smaller as educational facilities and standards improve in the rural sections, MODERN MARVELS Yosterday "a train on the Canadian Na- tions! Railways sped along the rails from Toronto to Montreal in six hours, This in itself was a wonderful achievement for railroad 'science, and it will, in future, be repeated every day, for this new fast ser- vice is now the regular thing on the C,N.R, But even more marvellous than the speed at which the train travelled was the fact that while it sped along the route, passeng- ers on rd the train carried on telephone conversations with people in Great Britain, This is the latest and greatest development of telephone service, since it makes possible new feats of speedy communication which were undreamed of a few years ago. It was considered wonderful when the first calls by telephone were made from a moving train, but the new system is even more mar- vellous, for it makes it possible for calls to be made, from anywhere in the world, al- most to a man riding on the train from Montreal to Toronto. --_ There seems to be no halting of modern electrical science. When Sir Henry Thornton yesterday spoke by telephone from this train to prominent C.N.R. officials in London, England, another remarkable engineering feat had been accomplished, and the Can- adian National Railways system is to be con- gratulated on its pioneer ventures into the field of electrical science as a complement to its success in modern railroading.

CANADIAN LIBERTY (From the Buffalo Courier~ Express) Canada is much less given to singing of liberty than is the Unit od Htates, But one notices every now and then that our neighbor to the north is a pretty diligent prac. titioner of lberty, Just now there is a case worth citing, For several years the prov. ince of Ontario has been more ov less aglicted with an overflow of Kluserism from this side of the border. As the profits began to wear out of the nightgown and nightcap trade, our exploiters of intolerance, racial and religious, looked for new fields and so ventured into Canada, Recently a sang of masked and hooded klansmen lald down the klan law to a Negro living near Hamilton, Canadian authorities stepped in, Arrests were made and fines imposed In police court, W, A. Phillips of Hamilton, 'appealed to division court his fine of +§60. And what he got was this: Emphatic notice from the court that Canadian' law will net toler ate Interferende by the Ku Klux Klan with the rights of Canada's Negro citisens and av increase In his sentence from the mere fine which was "a travesty on justice," to three months in prison, A Toronte dispa poports this case as the klan's "first clash' with the Canadian courts, Not many clashes of this kind will he required to make the klan understand that racial intolerance has no part in Canada's form of liberty, Bits of Humor COULDN'T DRINK ICE Parson~-It pains me, Bilkins, to see you In this unfortunate con- dition once more---and after your promise, too! wBilking=~Yeah, shir, But, you shee, the water'si all frogen in our 'ouse,~The Humorist, 10TH OF RERVICE "How do you like my dress, Tom?
