Ottawa, July 5.--Five thousand men in Canada and 25,000 men in the United States are affected by the decision of the International and other paper companies to commence work today and to leave the matter of wages, the big bone of contention hitherto, to arbitration. This was the statement made by M. Labelle, third vice-president of the interna- tional union, and chief representa- tive for Canada. The men would in all probability accept the present de- cision, and go back to work, leaving the matter to be finally settled by ar- bitration, Locally the effect will not be great, since the mewn in both Booth's and Eddy's plants have been working right along, with the exception of a two-weeks' strike in May. Should the arbitrators decide, for instance, on a 10 per cent. reduction, the men here will, of course; have to accept the decision of their union represen- tatives, Ten companies and the Intéfna- tional Paper Company have thus far been on strike, the latte affecting 34 plants alone, The original disagreement arose owing to the manufacturers demand- ing a 30 per cent. cut in wages, a contract not to cover outside labor, a return from the eight to the nine- hour day; and to take the matter of Wages up every three months. The agreement now is to leave éverything the same, and to settle the question of wages by arbitration. In regard to Canada notice is to be taken of the difference between Canadian and money. ---- Preacher Wears Negligee.

Kiwanian Hoag commend- ed the idea of a Safety Week to the local club in order that throu zh pab- licity there might be an important lessening in the death rate through preventable causes, R. Easton Burns described the magnificent welcome accorded the Canadian delegates and the impres- sion created by the "Canadian Hour," when the Toront6 delegates put on the greatest features of the whole programme. Jules Brazil was direc- tor of the Canadians, and his spec- {tacular show of the different periods in British history and the develop- ment of the English speaking people received tremendous applause. The speeches given by George Ross, To- ronto, and Dr. Robertson, Ottawa, were well received, and the high note | that they struck produced a corre- | sponding effect upon the American Kiwanians. The "Canadian Hour" camo just before the end of the pro- ceedings, that included the decision upon the place of meeting next year, and Canada got it by an overwhelm- ing majoriiy, despite the fact that many hundreds of the delegates were never in Canada. Kiwanians of America are looking to Canada now, Kiwanian Burns other fntercsting point and it is the place music, or rather vocal sing- ing, is taking. Kiwanis is to become the greatest singing club in the world, and a book is being compiled that will include al] kinds of good SODgS. But what impressed him most was the tremendous power be- hind Kiwanis. To describe it, one car ouly speak of his impressions during a first visit to Niagara Falls. It is bigger than any other organiza- tion on earth, George Brownlee and Percy Bor- land gave their impressions, Mr. Borland said that he was struck by the high calibre of the men in Ki- wanis. Religion was looked upon at the convention as the necessary basis of everything. 'Mayor Nickle the question of bapd concerts was brought up, that the city council was making arrangements for concerts in the parks within the next few weeks, So that nothing was reported regard- ing the proposal to raise a fund by subscriptions for this purpose.
