The National Un lon of Railwaymen and the 'Federa- tion of Transport Workers dec ided to strike in support of the British min- ers, who have been out since early this week. Hope that the miners and coal pit owners might meet with gov- ernment officials to discuss means of settling the strike were appar ly blasted shortly affer noon, when it was announced that the miners haa refused to meet their employers. They based their refusal upon th fact that the mine owners had aec- cepted the government's proposal of conference on condition that the striking pump men and engineers would return to work at once, pend- ing negotiation of difficulties which caused the strike. The miners took the position that the conference should be entirely free from restric- t.ons upon discussions. -- Leads to Destruction, Premier Lloyd Geo:ge appealed to the British people to aid the government through the indus- trial crisis precipitated by the coal strike. . Lloyd George made the ap announcing to the House of the complete breaking down of nego- tiations between miners and. owners. "The government will use every means in its power to meet the situ- ationi,"" the premier declared. "It is relying on the assistance of the great mass of British people," he BOOSTER ON LOCOMOTIVE Test Made Thursday--in- creases Eficiency and Eliminates Steam Waste. yesterday The Canadian Locomotive Com- pany has just equipped a large Mika- do freight locomotive, built for the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway, with the Franklin lotomo- tive booster, and at a test carried out in a rua from Kingston to Find- lay, on the G.T.R., Thursday; it was found to be eminently satisfactory, doing all that was expected of it. The demonstration was attended by prominent officials and representa- tives of the companies concerned, I.. Brooks, vice-president of the Frank- lin Supply Company; H. L. Rogers, mechanical superintendent of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway; William Casey, general manager, and William: Harty, Cana- din Locomotive Company; G. Cavin, mechanical engineer, Canadian Lo- comotive Company; W. T. Comley, service manager, and F. Lumb, local representative of the Franklin Rail way Supply Company, Montreal. All of the technical officials express- ed themselves as being highly pleas- ed with performance of the *"boost- er," or "starter" .as some would call it. It marks an important step of advance in locomotive design, for it increases efficiency and eliminates waste represented by surplus steam which is directly utilized at the very time every pound is needed in starting or to carry the train over heavy grades. The booster is only placed on big locomotive having a trailing truck, and answers the demand for haulage power rather than speed. It consists of a simple two-cylinder engine upon a special design cast steel bed plate which also forms the axle bearings and truck support. It operates di- rectly upon the axle gear located at the centre. The operation is simple. The engineer simply makes the con- tact and the rest is' automatic, the gear being thrown in and the power is on, When the train's speed reaches normal the booster is automatically thrown off. 'The booster puts any locomotive with trailing wheels into a class above in starting effort, be- cause these wheels act as an addition- al pair of drivers. On freight trains, this means more tons annually be- cause of greater starting effort, and acceleration, and avoids d#mage to machinery and equipment becausa of a smooth steady start. On passenger trains it means smooth starting and Se be face to face | ydeclared amid cheers from th 1 nt benches. | ' i 3& in i : miners told them they were | threat ng the lite of the country | > nothing more left | here t there is in Russia, if you | de Stroy " he told them | "Where w miners go if Bri- y | | | his conference ho JIE ators of t ' he asked. land," ain be me for culti- "Ba min | You are doing,' "It's flooding, the nation's ind: | This is an industrial count ceases to be industrial it's de There will be no home for m anybody else.

To Strike on Tuesday. London, April 8.--The railway- men and transport workers this evening decided to strike in sympa thy with the miners on morning, failing the re-opening negotiations for a coal strike tlement. A oA rcs quick acceleration to road thus adding to the "comfort of the travelling public. It protects the of set speed, schedules mone easily maintained by avoiding delays in starting. It is estimated by the designers that the locomotive booster gives an increase in starting and accelerating power oqual to 50,000 pounds addi- tional locomotive weight would give. It weighs only 3,600 pounds. By in- creasing power efficiency it defers, if not wholly eliminates, large invest- ments for improved roadway to carry bigger locomotives. It idle weight and spare steam when that steam is available, with negligible addition to the weight of the locomotive and without increas- ing demands on engineman. The Canadian Locomotive is con- structing five large locomotives for the Temiskaming and Northern On- tario Railway, and the specifications call for the booster on all of them One is for the freight and the rest for passenger trains. The Franklin booster was first tried out in the Unit- ed States two years ago where it was found to meet the demand for econo- my in waight and efficiency in driving power. In starting, the engineer er, ing the start to normal the booster is automatically disengaged and the main drive wheels take up the full steam pressure. Upon reaching a heavy grade tha booster is simply the trail wheels to the driving pow- er demanded, Once over the grade the booster is automatically disen- gaged. The importance of this invention ent when it is considered that the maximum weight in locomotive gon- struction has been reached, and the problgm of builders, and railway op- erators, is to get more power out of the present designs, becauss addition- al weight increases the cost of road- way maintenance enormously.

Declares That the Worst Is Yet to Come In Regard to the Unemployment Situation 9 Toronto, April 8.--The Ontario legislature sat until five o'clock this morning and when the house rose very little further progress had been made with the supplementary esti- mates. Those for the department of labor were passed. Nothing was done, however, with the estimates for ths Hydro-Electric Power Commission. These will probably not be touched until next week. , Dealing 'with the cost of operating the employment bureau, Hon. G. H. Ferguson warned the government § that the worst was yet to come as far as the unemployment situation was concerned. The premier replied that ¢his was probably true, but no amount of public works, which tae government could provide, would adequately meet the situation. Discussing the Mothers' Allowances act, the premier declared there was no such thing as a list of regulations for several boards throughout the province. Replying to Mr. Ferguson he stated that the cabinet was too busy to consider regulations while the house was In session, iC e gov- retorted a | Taking up the miners' demand that i ers' Federation is one of the greatest | of the nation.

MEMORIAL ARCH The Designs Are Now on Exhibition in Kings- ton. The designs submitted by Cana- the proposed memorial arch at the Royal' Military College are now on display at Kirkpatrick's art store, and are being viewed with interest by many citizens. All of the drawings forwarded show the work of the master crafts- man, and it would seem that the task of the judges who decided upon the winning design was rendered difficult and complicated by the superb and artistic skill of the competitors. In forwarding their designs, the architects were asked to make their suggestions conform to the buildings now erected at the college, and at the same time to make the arch distinct- ively Canadian :n its ornamention by figures, bas-reliefs, ete, as it would be under these principles that the selection would be made. The winning design is an excep- tionally fine piece of architecture, and will harmonize with the sur- roundings at the college, besides be- ing a distinct asset and improvement to the Institution. The designs will remain at Kirk- patrick's for the next week, and all pitizens are urged to avail themselves of the opportunity to inspect them. ---- Condemned The Film.

CONSIDERING' METHODS OF TAKING OVER CTR. Get Control of the Rail- road Soon. Ottawa, April $.--Methods by which the government can get control of the Grand Trunk railway by spec- ial legislation or otherwise, are being considered this afternoon by a sub- committee of the cabinet with whom E. L. Newcombe, justice, and W. N. Tilley, K.C , are in consultation. The exact line to be followed had not been decided when this afternoon's cabinet council broke up for the meeting of the house. "We intend to get control of the road and get it soon," was the la- conic comment of one minister in- terested in the negotiations. NEED OF EXPLAINING THE INSURANCE ACT To the Returned Soldiers Is Urged by Major C. B. Topp. Ottawa, April '8.--The appoint- ment of officials to explain the re- turned soldiers' insurance act to all returned men, in an endeavor to re- move the misunderstandings which at present exist, was urged upon a spe- cial committee on re-establishment this morning by Major C. B. Topp, of the insurance branch of the pensions' board. Major Topp said that agents of private line companies were mis- representing the soldiers insurance provisions to veterans. P. H. Morris, patriotic fund sec- retary, stated that the fund still had slightly over six millions on hand. Last year the committee had expend- ed some nine hundred thousand in temporary and regular relief. There were still many appeals for assistance coming in, he said. The tuberculosis question will be dealt with on Tues- day. Hit in Face by Flying Rivet. Belleville, April 8. --While remov- ing rivets from an old boiler at the cemet plant, Point Anne, R. H.

George Langley, minister of municipal affairs for Saskatchewan, who is here In connection with gov- ernment business. Mr. Langley pointed ou' that the present freight on oats now selling at forty and forty-five cents a bushel, was one-quarter their value. "If the | downward trend in the price of wheat and oats continues it will not pay the farmers to grow these grains on the average land," Le said, "I am aware of the serious diffi- culty with the wage-earning em- plcyes of the railways, but unless steps cre taken on reasonable lines half the wage-earners will be left without an occupation, becausa of the di: inution of both passenger and freight traffic" sy Mr. Langley said tha* seeding operations will be late in the north- ern sections of Saskatchewan this year on account of heavy snow, | | | | | BREAD WAR IN HAMILTON. | Twenty-Four Ounce Loaf Now Sells | for Ten Cents, | Hamilton, April 8 ~The price of | bread is down.

BACK TO NATURE a MOVE IN EUROPE People Take to Cave Dwelling, Eat Herbs and Wear Min- imum of Clothing. Berne, April 8.--The extremes scarcity of housing accommodation in Europe is causing the people to be- come cave dwellers again. In the Italian lakes district alohg Lakes Maggiore and Como, any number of people have dug themselves out dwellings in this romantic country and live with the utmost simplicity in them. Among them are people of very different social conditions and not artizans only. Some of them cal! themselves children of nature, and go about wearing sandals and sometimes as few clothes as the local police wil permit. Some live on herbs, vege tables and fruits, which are abund ant and cheap in this district. They pay no taxes and, of course, no rent. For amusement they have a join reading room, {But it isn't only in this warm cli- mate that the cave dwellers are now found, for even in Northern Swit zerland they occur, Thus, in Canton Aarau, workingmen, despairing of finding a house or flat," have also teken to cave dwelling. The polices have just discovered one such hure which has been inhabited by two workingmen for over six months. These caves are fitted with sleeping eccommodations, cooking apparutus and washing arrangements. Ilere again no rent is paid and conseouent- ly there is no taxation. During the day the cave dwellers go and do thoiy work in the field or factory as the case may be. -------------------- Minister To Denmark. Washington, April 7.--Former Senator Gronna of North Dakota ig understood to have been offered the post of minister to Denmark and to been maintained recently. Hamilton, April 8.--That ths { United Kingdom will shortly have prohibition notwithstanding the fact that the big liquor interests on the other side of the ocean are spending money like water in their efforts to stop it, was the assertion made by Pussyfoot Johnston on his arrival here yesterday. He stated that Charles A. Windle, anti-prohibition- ist, who toured the Old Country at the same time as he did, was respon- sible for the dry vote being as large as it was. Mr. Johnston said that Windle, not understanding the Scotch mind and temperament had pursied the wrong policies. "The Scotch people do. mot favor! have it under consideration. "Pussyfoot" Johnston Raps Charles Windle; Says His Foe Helped Make Britain Dry such utterances as 'Jesus Christ was the first saloon-keepcr," which Win- dle made while on tour," said Mr. Johnston. "He must realize that the people of Scotland are more relig- iously inciined than he game them credit for." " "Referring to the statements of Mr. Windle that crime has increased, I have taken the liberty to ask the chiefs of police In 80 different cities in the States, which went dry under rational prohibition, to send me in reports on the matter. So far I have received 61 reports from different chiefs. In 1917 figures show that for drunkenness there was 316.842 while in 1920 there were only 109. 768 arrests for the same cause."
