Instability along the Indian frontier and the approach of a rival power in Thibet drove England into the latter country, explains the soldier-diplomat, It was suspected that secret negotia- tions were bei carried on hetween | the Thibetuns and Russia, which would work to the detriment of India with her vast interests in India.

At present the various branches of (he government dealing with la- Lor wre scattered and under differ- @nt ieads. For example--the bureau ¢f labor is a side line of the minis- ter of public works, the factory in- | spection branch is placed under the control of the minister of agriculture and {he work in connection with the workmen's compensation aet up to tiga present has been under the direc- tion of the provineicl treasurer. Such a condition of affairs is ob- viously ridiculous and opposed to! the best interests of labor. Under the liberal policy all these branches would 'he grouped togeth- er under a minister of labor; who wold deal with workmen's compen- sutien, the factory act, unemploy- ment, hours of labor, fair wages and other problems affeciing the work- ers. Factory Act. The factory act of Ontario is, on the whole, antiquated. In the year 1907 a special committee of the le- gislature, including members from both sides of the house and two eab- inet ministers, considered the exist- ing factory Jegislation, reported that | it was entirely inadequate, and re- commended that a comprehensive measure should be introduced at the next session. The report concluded | as follows: -- # | "Your committee recognize the fact that at this late stage of the séssion a revision of the law is im-| practicable in 1907. They, therefore, | submit their recommendations for consideration during recess, with the view t6 a comprehensive mea- sure, dealing with the whole subject of factory and shop inspection, be- ing brought down at the next ses-| sion of the legislature." | Although a few amendments, of more or less importance, were pas- sed, the sessions of 1908, 1909, 1910 | 1911, and 1912 all passed without a comprehensive measure dealing with the whole subject being brought down, At the session of 1913, the gov- ernment, through its minister of ag- riculture, announced its intention of revising the factory act. It was ex- pected that after six years' neglect and delay, radical and far-reaching changes would be made. ¥n spite of the protest, however, not only of the liberal party, but of the workmen themselves, the government put through a bill, which, in its essen- tials, except in a few respects, re- sembles the old and outworn legisla- tion. Specific Proposals. 11 Mr. Rowell and the Itberals and Allan Studholme, labor member for East Hamilton, worked hard to se- cure and introduce amendments for the following, among other reforms: The appointment of additional fe- male factory inspectors, That no child under fourteen years of age shall be employed in any fac- tory. . : That no child under fourteen years of age shall be employed ia any shop. That a factory inspector shall have power to prevent the employment of any child at work for which it ap-! pears to be physically unfit, That the lieutenant-gevernor-in- council shall by statute issue a pro- clamation defining hazardous and | dangerous occupations, i { That the hours of employment for children be limited to eight hoursa | day, and not more than forty-eight hours a week, and of all youths and young girls to nine hours a day, or fifty-four hours a week, ' That the provisions in the exist- ing law providing that the "custom or exigencies of a trade" may per- wit youths or young girls to be em- ployed beyend the prescribed time, be stricken out. : { That no child, youth or young girl under the age of eight Years shall be employed in any ba: nt or any part of a factory or shop building below the surface of the ground. | That no child, even of legal age, Shall be permitted to be employed in any factory or shop, who éannot pro- duce a proper school certificate. That no one under eighteen years of age should be allowed to run an elevator. - Mr. Rowell proposed these and other specinc veforms, but the gov- ernment voted 'them down, and vot- ed against the working men, work- ing wonien, - working youths and working girls, $ : |cipate the | grasp of inspection. He pointed out that On- tario was behind the United States in such matters as child labor legis- lation, and contended that the in- crease in the industrial life in the province demands an enlargement in the present staff of inspectors. Public opinion was behind the de- mand. Among other bedies the Na- tional Council of Women had urged upon the government the providing of more adequate inspection. Quotation from @ttawa Citizen (conservative), May 1st, 1913: "Last Thursday 'was child labor day in the provincial legislature and when the debfite Wak finished, On- tario, undér the direct lead of her premier, took her place at the boi- tom of the list of these communities and countries that are trying to make the profits of commerce secon- dary to the rights of the child. In On- |tario commerce is still first. "All that day there was witnessed {the strange spectacle of a Govern- ment stolidly opposing its majority bulk against every attempt to eman- helpless child from the the competitive system which virtually forces employers in- to child labor.

It was decided to send a party to the sacred city of Lhasa itself. The escort of Sir Francis at the start was 200, but later the detachment was swelled to 4,200 native Indian and S60 British troops. "We started in May," says Sir Fran- cis. "We halted twelve miles within the border to discuss with some Chi- nese officials the matter of a treaty regularizing our relations with the thibetans. Thibet being under the suzerainty of Chonan! We made little progress, however, and in December decided to push on to Lhasa." The bardships of the winter trip over the Himalayas, the endless and fruitless negotiations with the Thibe- tan military leaders and priests and the siege endured by Sir Francis and 5 of his men for two months while surrounded by 20,000 Thibeeans in a small enclosure on one side of the high plateaus, are deseribed together with the final fruition of his efforts, the signing of the treaty in the pal- ace of the Dalai Lama himself in the forbidden city, the attemdany celebra- tion, and the peaceful journey back to India. "I thought at one time I had gone a step too far in imsisting that the treaty he signed in such a saered and famous place, knowing that my gov- ernment would he as well satisfied with a docuraent ratified in my own tent or anywhere dlse, 80 long as it was valid," continued Sir: Francis. But I clung to my point, feeling sure sure that the influence of such a set- tling of the Thibetans aod the people of the territories that bound that land would greatly enhance the value of the agreement, and so it turned out." A CONSTANT MENACE. . Smile The Game of Chance Played by the Ocean Liners. The presence of iee is a constant menace to the navigator. Its move- ments, often fairly rapid when pro- pelied by wind and current, make its position 'always uncertain. One ship may see immense fields of ice ' which another, passing over the same route a few days later, may never encounter, Only those who have stood on the bridge "of an Atlantic liner with her oflicers on a dark night when in the region where ice may appear can ap- preciate the anxiety of those tireless men, who know . that 'collision with even a small floating ice mass means damage fo the ship. The small masses called *'growlers" often means great- er danger. They float low in the wa ter, leaving little above to be seen by the lookout. Arctic ice is great solidity and very fvegular in shape. Frequently it presents ' sharp edges which can cut the plates of a ship, shear offi rivets or drive a hole through the bottom as readily as a steel knife. . The game of chance is, therefore, played by every ship that speeds through the ice area at night or in a fog. To those skippers who have had many years of experience in navigat- ing its presence is made known hy a number of efiects. Before icg ¢fin be actually seen there is a peculiar'fvhite- ness observed around the berg on a dark night, except in the case of dark bergs. Mariners call this the ice "blink." It is caused by the reflection of the scattered rays of light from the sky by the white surface of the berg. Thus it is a contrast between the black surface of the water, which re- scatters nearly all of it. 1S one casting a shadow toward the ship. When the light comes more strongly from any particular part of the sky the iceberg often cannot he seen in certain directions, while clear ly bisible by the ice blipk in others. This is said to be the reason why the officers of the ill-ated Titapic did not see the berg soon enough to stop. As ice is approached, too, the tem- perature of the air usually falls and the marines describe a peculiar damp cold, as distinguished the cool caused by, a change of wind. Ice- bergs are sometimes detected also, by sve echo from the steam whistles or fog horn. Then they ave frequently heard for many miles by the noice they make in breaking 'up or falling to pieces, The cracking of the ice or the falling of hi into the sea cause a noice distant thunder. Yet 'despite all these ways of dis- covery, the presence of ice during cer tain seasons is a constant menace to to those who cross the sea, as the wreck of many a good shift goes prove.
