Unions Will Take Another Vote on the Question Result Will Likely Be Known by Next Tuesday Night. A mass meeting of the metal trades federation was held in Ontario Hall on Thursday evening, for the pur- Pase of receiving the report of the | executive committee and getting an expression of the view of the men A upon the offer of the Canadian Loco- N\ mofive Company. "The executive had no recommenda- tion to make, and from reports of the meeting, the members of the execu-|. tive were divided upon what course of action should be adopted, but a de- cision was mide to call a vote of the different unions, Some complaint is made of the conduct of members of the executive in obstructing free speech and at times there were sharp Ritercations. The chairman had aif- . floulty in keeping the meeting in : Band. /Tt is stated that the members pres- appeared to be about evenly di- on the question of accepting he offer of the company. Some of the speakers were completely at sea, and many who attended the meet- ing were keenly dissatisfied over the statements that were made. Other speakers urged accepting the terms of President Wallace, as the best that could be obtained, and declared that they were better conditions than the metal trades obtained in Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal. "It was ah- surd," said ome speaker. "to close the works down and expect to get bet- tor pay elsewhere. It simply could not done." William. Driscoll made a strong plea for serious consideration of the situation, and urged acceptance of the company's offer as the best that could be obtained. He made a profound impression and apparently voiced the personal views of many of the work- Jars, particularly of those who have received no strike pay at all, and hava beeh unable to get work. In: $ » none of those who are receiving strike pay are satisfied. "'Rven if we got all we wanted," said one man, "we would «till be behind; With winter approaching and coal to buy, We cannot remaln out of work." Some tegard the strike as a most unfortu- nate thing, and declare that the strike was not legally taken and they MACHINISTS' STRIKE COLLAPSED AT OTTAWA And the Men Go Back to Their Work on Terms of Employers.

His front now extends from the Volgs to the Dniester. After the tremen- dous effort of the last two months there dg a slight slackening of pace. It is necessary now to consolidate the ground wom, to absorb and ow ganize the thousands of reservists who are pouring into thé volunteer army, Here and thers the Reds have received reinforcements, and are exerting a slight pressure on Dendkine's scattered outposts. But the lull is only temporary, and Denikine has already given the ore der to his troops "On to Moscow!" Within a very short time the ad- vance will be resumed with new energy. The British share in this great achievement, though comparatively slight in quantity, is remarkable in its' moral and material effect. Brit- ish tanks, guns, airplanes and in- structors have given an extraordin- ary impetus to the latent Russian forces and happily hastened the pro cess that might have dragged out painfully to the same inevitable end.
