The trouble in the metal trades fed- jeration, which has resulted in the | resignation of President Findlay and {the withdrawel of the bollermakers' | Fepresentative, was due to a disin- {elination on the part of a number of | members to be governed by the rules | of procedure' and the ruling of the | president on a very important point. j Last week as a result of a vote tak- {en by the different unjons, the nia- {Jority were found to be in favor of | accepting the terms offered by Presi- dent Wallace. The unfons stood 4 to {2 to go back te work, and Mr. Find- {lay was moved to renew negotiations with the company. On a return to the Labor Hall, however, it is stat: ed that certain 'of the members, who were not satisfied over the vote of 'the unions, demanded that in addi- ton, to the clauses still in dispute, the "meeting should vote upon thé question of wages and hours as well. President Findlay, it is stated, ruled that as the question of wages and hours had already been voted on and definitely disposed of the points could not again be raised. Strong excep- tion was taken to his ruling and an appeal was made to the meeting from it. A vote was taken to re-open the whole matter, and as it was decided contrary to the president's ruling, he left the chair and later tendered his resignation. The vice-president was directed to preside and efforts to elect a mew president were futile as no person nominated for the office would accept it. In addition to this the boilermak- ers have withdrawn their represen- tative from the federation. Altogeth- er, the situation is one that is ex- trémely regretted by the workmen, who desired to see an early settle- ment of the difficulty and entertain- ed strong hopes, of success through President Findla¥'s course of action, which was best calculated to serve the interests of his men. A general meeting has been call- ed today for the consideration of the whole situation. Keep Children Well During Hot Weather Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small children.

The second public lecture arrang- | ed for students in the summer ses- sion in Queen's Unibersity was deliv- ered on Tuesday afternoon in Con- vocation Hall by Professor H. Mich-| jel, of the Political Science Depart- iment, the subject being "Gold." - Gold, as the lecturer remarked, is now the basis of all monetary sys- tems, with the single exception of that of China, and on it we have to rely for our measure of value, measure which, through its violent fluctuations in purchasing power fs exceedingly unsatisfactory. But al- though unsatisfactory, it is the only one we have, and until something better is devised, we must perforce be content with it. The first part of the lecture was devoted to an his- torical account of the worlds history If you need a Club Bag or Suit Case don't delay . in purchasing, as prices are We have good $3.00 to going higher every day. Bags $10.00 to $35.00. Suit Cases Drop in and see them. as reflected by thé movements in| prices, the fundamental cause of these movements being found in the fluctuations in' the world's stock of the precious metals. From the dawn of history to the first century of the Christian era we find a steady rise in prices, keeping time with the in- crease of the world's stock of gold From the period of Rome's greatest glory to the downfall of the empire we find 2 setadily dropping stock of gold accompanied hy steadily fall- ing prices, in fact we may almost say that as Rome lost her gold her power abbed with it. From 400 A.D. to 1500 we have an éra of low prices and not till the conquests of ' the Spaniards in America brought new stocks of gold and silver to Europe do we find prices on the upward trend. The era of the struggle with Napolean sent prices up to levels never since surpassed, but with the return of peace, prices dropped again until the gold from California and Australia began in 1850 to" send them up again. The new supplies only lasted a few years, and by 1876 we find a new period of - falling prices beginning, which lasted until the 'South African gold began to re- new the depleted stock of world's gold in 1896. Such, remarked the lecturer, was the history of prices over long pe- riods; we have still to account for the violent changes in price levels over short periods, Wars are, of! course, the most potent disturbers of | prices, and we are now suffering | from the effects of the European war 'On our economic values. There is nothing mysterious or inexplicable, the lecturer said, in the present state of affairs, the withdrawal of so many millions from productive to non-pro- ductive work, and the world-wide in- flation of currency through bank and government note {sues, were amply sufficient te explain everything. If We are groaning over our 'burdens now, we may at least take some com- fort in the reflection that our great- grandfathers suffered still worse. In 1812, whe nthings were at their blackest and the star of Napoleon at its height, wheat sold in England at four dollars the bushel, in compari- son with which the present price sinks into insignificance... We can- not hope for lower prices for some considerable time, not until the pro- ductive energies of the world are onbe more at: full strength, and not until the heavy over-issues of paper money in every country in the world have. been contracted. In conelu- sion, the lecturer remarked that we may at least reflect that, other things being equal, an era of high prices means prosperity, a' period of low prices the reverse. Low.prices and commercial stagnation go hand in hand, a time of rising prices is al- ways a time of expansion in indus- try 'and economic improvement for all concerned. ---------------------- .
