The latter, though persisting in the state- ment that all is going well and that the strike will continue until their grievances are redressed, are said in a well-informed quarter to be near the end of their funds and to be growing desperate at the outlook, particularly on account of the deser- tion of the large majority of the rank and file of the National Union men, who walked out in sympathy with the strikers. Many of the association's own men are also going back. Sympathetic Strikes. Aggravation of the rallway strike at 'an early date by a walkout of the motormen ofthe London subway system and by sympathetic action on the part of the London port workers was intimated by J. Bromley, secre. tary of the Associated Society of Lo- comotive Engineers and Firemen, in speaking to newspaper representa- tives. Aftér saying that further develdp- ments in the rail situation were pos- sible over the week-end, he 'added; "We are being strongly pressed by the underground drivers and by the port men, who even before the strike were anxious to help. But we have no quarrel with the electric rallways and I told them to work on. "It Is impossible, however, to gay what will happen next week." Discussing the responsibility of the government toward ending the strike, the Westminster Gazette de- mands that it take action, saying: "Had the 'strike occurred with any other party in power Labor itself would have been most vocal in throw- ing the responsibility on the ministry and the Labor government cannot neglect its plain duty because the people quarrelling happen to belong to its own household." The Daily Chronicle, however, sees special difficulty for the ministry in the very nature of the dispute, and asserts: "In a strike crisis there are certain things open to the ordin- ary governments which a Labor gov. ernment cannot do, and there is no effective authority from the side of Labor itself which the latter can em- ploy to bring the anti-social strikers to reason." The Times holds that those eir- cumstances in which any govern- ment would be obliged to intervene have not yet arisen.

This is the conclusion of Profes- sor Winifred Cullis, expert on euge- nics, who discussed monkey glands in a lecture at the Scientific Novel- ties Exhibition at King's College here. "If changes can be produced (by monkey. glands), do not think it means Increase in longevity," she be utilized right up to the end. We are not going to increase the span of life."

JAPANESE MAY BE BARRED BY THE UNITED STATES Tokio Sends a Protest Over the Violation of Gentlemen's Agreement. -Wanhingien. Jan. 28.-~Japan made another protest to the Am cag government on discrimination against Japanese in the United States, it was learned, Ambassador Han'!hara, Japanese envoy here, has presented to the state department a communication making representations against the clause in the immigration bill intro- duced in the house hy Representative 1 Johnson, Washington, and in the sen- ate by Senator Lodge, which would bar all Japanese from fhe United States. Should this bill become law it will supercede the gentiemen's agreement between the American and Japanese "governments, which was negotiated years ago to restrict Japanese immli- gration. The United States supreme court having held that Japanese cannot be naturalized as American c!tizens, the enactment into law of the Johnson- Lodge bill would have the effect of declaring Japanese inadmissable to the United States.

CONFERENCE LD IN VAI Closer Trade, Between De- minions And Mother Coun- try May Be Fostered. London, Jan. 28.--The Imperial Conference was held in vain, All the PEP, NOT LONGEVITY time devoted by Canadian statesmen to the conference and all the money r'spent by the Canadian taxpayers on | the conference is wasted. It is Qe- ! finitely announced that Labor refuses |to accept the Imperial preference | proposals reached at that conference {and does not consider itself in any | way bound by the pledges made at jt time by its predecessors in of- ce For some days the rumor has been circulated that Premier MacDonald would withhold his hand from the guillotine at least temporarily in view of the definite desire of the Do- minions and especially of Australia and New Zealand to see the prefer- ential clauses agreed upon at the conference put into effect. The election, however, which has rung the death knéll of preference at least for the time being, has strengthened the hand of Mr. Mae- Donald, and the support given to him by Liberals which has secured his apcéssion to office is to be rewarded by the premier in this fashion. The method chosen for the killing of the findings of the conference is to sub- mit them to a free vote of the House of Commons which, in view of the. composition of the Commons on the lines of free trade or preference, means certain defeat. Mr. MacDonald points out that not | | chinery for fostering . closer trade ! relationship betwpen the dominions and colonies and the mother country, MUST NOT ADVERTISE = LIQUOR IN ALBERTA To Allow Consumption in Ho= tels for Only Bona Fide Guests.
