No one was suffering very much. There had been no appreci- able difference in the coal situation, probably due to the fact that only tha bituminous mines are largely affect- ed, and to the season of the year. But the tragedy which has occurred has focussed public attention on the affair, and the result will probably bo that there will be a speedy attempt at settlement. It is a strange commentary on United States methods of govern- ment that a minature war could taka place within its borders, and so many innocent men killed and tortured without being able to secure the pro- tection to which they were entitled of the great republic. That they should have been protect- ed goes without saying, for there is | no law in any country which is civil- ized which can prevent a man from following a legal occupation it he de- sires to work. Yet here we have tha barbarous spectacle men taking the law into their own hands, and ruthlessly shooting down scores of their countrymen who did not agree with them that it wag a good thing to go on strike. Where is the much-vaunted justice of the United States, where is the freedom, where the equality on which the very keystone of the nation is laid when such things can happen? The strike, the principles for which the men are striking, and the quarrel which they have with the mine-owners fade into compared with the crimes of which they have been guilty. It does not seem, at this date, as if any of them were to be taken to the courts of justice for their deeds. .

The decision of the House of Com- {mons to broaden the scope of the i toyal Commission which is to {vestigate the charges of the G.W. {V.A. against the Board of Pension | | Commesioners, is regarded generally | by Canadian ex-soldiers as the great- | est advance in re-establishment ineas- {ures since the conclusion of the war. | The broadening out proposal advanc- {ed by members of all parties in the {house and accépted by the govern- | merit, was to the effect that the commission be empowered to exam- {ine all matters of complaint, within | reason, which ex-service men might | have against existing legislation ana { methods of administration of such. | In all probability the commission, {upon appointment, will concentrate its efforts in the first instance to the | Maxwell-MacNei] charges, which will | undoubtedly require a considerable | number of Sessions before the evid- ence is completed and a decision ar- rived at. The veterans at present are part- icularly interested in the personnel of the proposed commssion. The Winnipeg Branch G.W.V.A., re- quested the government to make at least one appointment of a man who had seen service in the ranks, and asked that this appointee be chosen from outside of Ottawa and, if feas- ible, that a Winnipeg man be select- jed. Other branches of the G. W.V. |A. have wired or written asking that [the appointment of the commission be considered entirely aside from the political aspect. Dominion headquarters of the G. W.V.A. at the present moment is concentrating upon the collation of the evidence in support of the charg- es. With nearly 100,000 cases of pension and other claims on record, very little difficulty is anticipated in bringing forward an overwhelming amount of pertinent material. No definite announcement has as yet been made as to when the per- sonnel of the commission will be selected, or as to when its activitics will commence, but it is the general opinion that this should be done with (as little delay as possible.

It was more particularly noted in the central part of the city. The secret of it has now been dis- closed. Several teachers Investigat- ed and found that it was due to the habit of the children in going day after day to places where street car tracks are being laid and watching the acetylene welding process at close range. The bluish white flame that is caused by this welding oper- ation is very hard on the eyss and many of the children came bleary- eyed to school in the mornings after afi evening of watching the welders at work.
