Rodolphe Lemieux has sent a letter of congratulation to Prof. Shortt on: the successful results of his efforts in settling the diflerences be- tween the Dominion Coal company and its employees. Mr. Lemieux says in part: "You have daring the year presided over many boards of conciliation and investigation under sthe act for the adjustment of various industrial dis- putes. The result &f your efiorts has been uniformly successful and of the utmost value to the industrial popu- lation of Canada. I welcome this op- portunity, therefore, of expressing my of the deep obligation under which you have laid my department, congratulate you upon having seized at the outset the vital principle of the measure of conciliation. and of effecting a series of agreements and establishing an array of investiga. tions which must prove of the highest value in all future proceedings under the act: Let me assure vou that my colleagues in the government appre- ciate no less than myself the value of the services you have rendered during the year." sense TO DO PASSENGER TRADE, R.and 0. to Sell Its Freight Line. The Richelieu & Ontario Navigation company has disposed of its freight business of the Montreal and Hamil ton line to the Mackay company, Hamilton, and will withdraw its boats from its service. This line is known as the Bay of Quinte route of the R. & 0, and the willingness of the com- pany to sell out is a result of a de- cision to devote itself more particu- arly to passenger traflic, The R. & 0. will also likely dispose of two freight boats to the Hamilton com- pany, uring the proceeds towards the purchase of a new passenger steamer. ------------ Dyspepsia Is A Crime. _ Nearly all conditions that in break- ing 'down of health have their begin- ginning in chronie indigestion or dys- pepsia, Thee troubles ean be effectively our- ed at any stage by use of Day's Dys- pepsia' Cire, Thig preparation has digestive, tonje and laxative proper tics.
