?â-  > * News in Review V V" Poultry Exports Jump OTTAWAâ€" Indica-ng the gastro- nomical welcome thai awaits visitors to the United Kingdom this summer, Canada has douWed poultry exports in the first four months of the year. Officials of the Agricultural De- pa; tnient say the increase is due to heavy purchases in anticipation of the Coronation trade, producing a paucity of domestic fowl. Since January 1, Canadian ship- ments to the British market have been 3,000,000 pounds avecaging ten to 12 cars a week. The nearer the Coronation approaches, the larger the demand is becoming. New Link It Forged By Rail With North A new link l)otween the mining dis- tricts of Noithern Ontario and the south was forged when "The North- land,' operated by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario and the Cana- dian National Railways, made its ini- tial run. A. H. Cavanagh, general manager of the T. & N.O. made the inaugural run. The operating schedule of "The Northland" is such that the traveller may leave the North after the business day is finished, arrive at Timmins, or intermediate stations, in the morn- ing. Returning, "The Northland'' sch( lii'.cs are equally convenient to the liu.siness man, as it does not leave Timmins until 5.20 o'clock in the aflc.noon. Thus a business man may make a trip to the North, or South, beint' only a day from his office. Northward, the train operates daily; southward, daily except Sunday.

E-nployees Cared For HAMILTON-- International Har- vester Company .s^jvid Hamilton tax- payers one million dollars by caring for its employees during depression yeans. Welfare Commissioner A. P. Kappele estimated this week. The big industry loaned money to itt! workei-.s and in many eases as- »um;d responsibility for mortgages on tiieir homes, making it possible for them to retain ownership until they found eniplcjynieMl , The understanding was that when the men found gainful occupation they would rtturn the amounts for- warded and Mr. Kapptde predicted that the loyal workers, appreciative Of what had been done for them, would di.<cliarge their obligation at first opportunity. For two years, dur ng the early ytars of depression, when the Harvester Company was idle, every man was provided for and not one applied for relief, the Welfare Commissioner reported. M:iyor William Morrison and Con- troliir Freeman Treleaven of the â- Welfare Commission commended of- fieial.i of the industry. Can-dian Slums Snobbery Scored TORONTO â€" A charge that there fxiiited in Canadian universities and in Canada generally the "most ap- E ailing sort of snobbery," was maeie y W. Laffan, Treasurer of the New Education Fellowship, London, Eng., at a Fellowship meeting here. Some years ago ho had come to Canada to attend MeOill University. He had hoped there would be no class dist nclion, but he had foutid, he said, ^hat they were greater than anything he had known before "And nior(! l)oring, dull and rotten sort of lectures I ever heard in my â-  C-N life, although I have reason to be- lieve they have improved. I thought one wouJd come into contact with real life in Canada, but I found that near- ly all the men came into contact with real life in summer holidays. I once got a chance to sweep some .snow off the streets, but I couldn't get a job'" ho said. Canada much effect an improve- ment in the pay and status of its teachers, the Englishman claimed. In the lower categories, teachers in England were paid three times as much as in Canada. And Canadians must be willing to assume a greater share of taxation, he said. In Eng- land the income tax ranged from 25 cents to (iO cents on the dollar. R.

Muskrat Harvesters Get One- Third Crop PETERBOROâ€" The muskrat sea- son netted trappers in this district less than one-third a normal year's catch. Chief Whetung of the Curve Lake Indians said this week. Chief Whetung blamed low water for the scarcity of rats. Traps are laid below the water level and rats caught in them drown. This year we found a great number of traps which had been sprung and in which one or more legs still remained," he said. He explained that when the water is sufficiently low ths rats will twist or gnaw off a leg to get away. Another trapper told he had found legs of the animals in as many as six traps in one day. Prices have been ranging from $2 to $2.25 Talk by many of the trap- pers indicates the price of Hudson seal coats will be considerably high- er than usual next winter.

Therefore tho Gov- ernment's bill proposing the first of April as the open season for shoot- Ini; should be modified.

At the same time Thompson boast- ed that the peaceful settlement of the Oshawa strike had been reached in Detroit 'between a foreign corpora- tion and foreign agitators" using re mote control. The strike was not sefr tied in Queen's Park, he claimed. Used Remote Control Martin invited Premier Hepburn to return to his farm, "where his activi- ties can harm nothing more than an onion." "The strike was not settled at Queen's Park," Thompson told some 2.000 automobije workers. "It was settled at Grand Boulevard and Woodward Avenue, Detroit, between a foreign corporation and "foreign agitators." Martin conferred there with Gen- eral Motors Corporation, and we used 'remote control' from Washington while the conference was under way iu Toronto." the C.I.O. man claimed. Martin claimed he knew in advance what the terms of settlement would bo. Ho knew "what the terms of the agreement would be before the ne- gotiating committee knew them," he told the rally. Not only would the ."{OO "feeder plants" be organized, but the C.I.O. would extend its activities to other factories as well, he said. "We are startin.g immediately on tho or.i;ani- zation of ail workers in all feeder plants. There wil. be more than 'Mil v! those organized, howeve;'. We are not goins to limit our activities to those supplying General Motors" Charges Attempted Eribe Martin declared that a man "who elaimod to lepresent Genorr.l Motors Corporation attempted to bri'.o" him in Oetroit while Oshawa slri'.ce ne- gotiations were under way. "He offered me th,> neat little sum of ?50.000 if I'd do just as he wanted me to. " Martin said. "I said to him and I say it again, if General Motors has anything to give away, let them rive it to the workers." Iicferrin.i; again to the agresment reached, Martin declared: "We have no desire to see Premier Hejiburn out of his place at Queen's Park. For all the things that Hep- I>uru has done that are worth while, I say we appreciate them. "But if he Is going to continue ising his job to thwart the privileges and opportunities of the people, the best service he can render tliem is to return to the farm where his activi- ties can harm uothin.sj more than au onion. "The settlement is a co;:ipIfte vic- tory for the C.I.O. and provides you with advances iu wages and improv- ed working conditions.
