YEAR 89; No. 205, THE HINDU QUESTION UP Indias Delegate Meets Canada's Premier. A New Deputy Minister of Labor Likely To Be Appointed. Ottawa, Sept, 2.--Mr. Sastri, Can- ada's visitor from India, has now ar- rived in the capital, and will spend most of the next week here. He will have the opportunity of threshing out the whole question of Hindu mi- gration with the prime minister and his colleagues. Various hospitalities have been planned for his benefit, Last night the prime minister gave an official dinner at the Court club. Today the Canadian Club will hear him speak. On Sunday, Sir Robart Borden is entertaining him at lunch- eon. New Labor Deputy Minister. Ottawa, Sept. 2.--There is a rum- or that the labor department may soon have a new deputy ministor. The plan contemplated is that F. Ackland, who has held this office since 1909, is to be transferred to a King's printer office, which will Le revived for his benefit, In his place, Mr. Murdock will be likely to bring in J. A. Woodward, an old associate of the railway brotherhoods. Mr. Woodward was the founder of a weekly called the Canadian Railroad- er, which perished in the slump two years ago, and at present he is con- ducting a printing business in Mon- treal. That the C.P.R. hierarchy hava great faith in his abilities, but his appointment, if it takes place, 1s unlikely to arouse any enthusasm in civil service circles in Ottawa. IF PRINCESS HAS A SON HE INHERITS $40,000,000 Young Wife of William Leeds, Jr., 1s Now in Paris. Paris, Sept. 2.--Princess Xenia of Greece, niece of King Constantine and wife of William Leeds, Jr., is at present in Paris with her husband, expecting an addition to the family. It a boy is born to the Princess, he will inherit the entire $40,000,000 fortune of the late William Leeds, the American tinplace king. The Leeds' will provides that it there is no male issue, the whole sum shall £0 to the New York Lying-In Hospit- al. The $40,000,000 is now in the form of a trust fund, the interest of which is drawn by Princess Christo- pher (formerly Mrs. Willlam Leeds). Upon the death of the ~ American Princess the interest will revert to her son, husband of Princess Xenia. In the event of his death or that of his wife, the fortune will go to a male heir, if there be one, as the Am- erican law provides that a trust fund shall cease with the third generation. Young Leeds and his wife are liv- ing with Prince and Princess Chris- topher at a fashionable hotel in Paris, lowance to them enables them to en- tertain lavishly. The youthful cou- ple spend most of their time auto- mobiling, yachting and airplaning. They will probably accompany the Princess Christopher's al-| LIQUOR CHEAPER IN QUEBEC Sixty-Six Per Cent, Difference in New B. C.

Bouchier, Vicar of St. Jude's, Hampstead Garden suburb, at a re- cent conference of young people, started a discussion on "Why the Churches To-day Have Failed."

Washington, D.C, Sept. 2.--A general strike of American organiz- ed labor may follow In retaliation against the government for its course in obtaining a temporary injunction rzainst the striking railroad shop- men and their union officials, With President Harding acknowledging that the Injunction is the most sweeping ever obtained in this coun- try, and expressing determination not to stop at this, if further steps are necessary to maintain railroad transportation, the American Feder- ation of Labor has decided to con- sider the question of calling a gen- cial strike. Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the Federation, last night de- ciared the injunction to be in| widla- tion of the law, and announced that his executive council would consider the situation in Washington on Sep- tember 9th. Union officials it is sald will bo restrained from "issuing any instruc- tions, public statements or sugges- tions" to its members regarding the conduct of the strike. Union funds will be tied up and no money used to further the strike. The court was requested to pre- vent all picketing, gatherings of strikers and threats of violence or any act which would hinder the op- .|eration of trains carrying interstate mail or freight. 4 Killed, 31 Injured In a Train Wreck Cape Giradau, Sept. 2.--Four per- sons were killed, eight injured seri- ously and twenty-three slightly, in a wreck of the St. Loujs-San Francisco pascenger Arain near Willenberg, thirty-six miles north of here yester- day, caused by a broken trestle, Northeliffe Wil Dispute Is Reported Settled London, Sept. 2.--The Daily Ex- press declares that it understands that owing to the intervention of Vis- count Rothermore, brother of ihe late Lord Northcliffe, the legal dis- Pute over the two wills of the famous Journalist has been settled by repre- sentatives of the contending parties, Cobourg Paving Contract.

Quebec, Sept. 2.--Sir Thomas Grat- tan Esmonde, Bart., former M.P. for Wexford, Ireland, in the British House of Commons, who retired from active politics some few years ago when the Sinn Fein party got control of Irish politics, arrived in Quebec today among the saloon passengers on ithe Canadian Pacific Empress of France. - Sir Thomas was rather reluctant to discuss the present Irish ejtuation. He would say, however, that he was confident that the entire trouble would be ended by Christmas, as the Free State government had the rebel- lion well in hand. The new leader, Alderman Cosgrove was a highly educated and cultivated gentleman and at the same time a man of firm- ness and an able successor to the late Michael Collins. Mr. Mulcahy wag equally as strong, Bpeaking of de Valera, Sir Thomas said he is mot the real revolutionary leader, but the figurehead, while Erskine Childers is the real and re- sponsible leader of the revolutionists, "But," said Sir Thomas, "I have every confidence that we will see ths revoluton concluded and peace pre- vail all over Ireland by Christmas.

PLANNED TO MAKE TIMES Northcliffe's Idea Was to Vest Spectator contains an article by the BLAME EX-SOLDIERS FOR WAR MEDAL DELAYS Fail to Notify the Department of Their Addresses, Says Official. Ottawa, Sept. 2.--Of the authoriz- ed issue of 450,000 British war medals, 216,359 have been distribut- ed to date by the Honors and Awards Department of the Militia here, and of the authorized issue of 350,000 victory medals, 200,891 have thus far been distributed, according to Cap- tain A. C. Chadwick, in a statement today on the progress of his work, and in reply to the complaint that thousands of veterans had not ye* re- ceived their war honors. British war medals are issued to all those who went overseas on duty prior to No- vember 11th, 1918, and the victory medals are given to all those who served on the establishment of ar authorized unit in a theatre of war There could only be two reasons for failure of veterans to get their medals, it was stated by officials of the department. One is lack of sup- ply of these medals from Great Brii- ain, where they are being produced and sent to Canada in shipments of 20,000. There has not yet been any scarcity of medals with which to sup- ply the demend from soldiers or next of kin. The other reason is failure ply the department with their latest addresses. Post cards are being sent out to soldiers or their next of kin, at the rate of 1,600 a day. Of these a small percentage comes back through failure of the interested parties to supply their new addresses. In June the percentage of returns uncalled for was a Httle higher than is usual. In that month 3,736 cards were sent out, 2,132 came back with the desired informa- tion and 1,226 were returned unde- livered.
