Is Out For All Business Possible a By a Condition, 1 Drummondville, Que., Sept. 4.-- Practical support of the "Produced in Canada" movement by the Cana- | dian National Railways was promis- ed by Bir Henry W. Thornton, chair- man and president of the System, in an address delivered before Mont- real, St. Hyacinthe and Drummond- | ville industrialists gathered here in "Industries Day," a phase of the "Produced in Canada" campaign. Sir Henry personally gave his hearty en ment to the move- ment. He continued: "If there is one organization 'in Canada which can demonstrate its suppoit of this policy it is the Canadian National Railways. I know of no article which we pur- chase which can be obtained in Can- ada that is bought dutside of Can- ada; and for the benefit of manu- facturers I may say it is our inten- tion to continue that policy.'" He gde- clared himself a believer in the theory that if you buy goods in your own country you have both the goods and the money in your owa country. ~ Referring to the present industrial and business condition in Canada, Sir Henry sald Lot of Nonsense Talked. "There is a lot of nonsense talk- ed not only in Capada but all over the world with' respect to the Cana- dian National Railways and its rela- tion to state ownership. The financial position of the Canadian National has nothing whatever to 2 lac 1 road hap aa ab could den! ty-four hours, this property over to private ration, but it would not earn one penny more than it does to-day. 'We are confronted by a condition, not a theory. We have inherited a @ which is greater than our needs, but we cannot take it-up and deprive settlers who have tome to live on that mileage of communica- tion 'with the outer world. "No government in Canada would dare to take up five or six thousand miles of rafiway, We have a respon- sibility towards those who have set- tiled with us. Don't let any one kid us into thinking and imagining that our railway situation is due to the fact that the railway is state-owned. If it is due to anything it is to errors made by private administrators long before we took hold. "We have also been accused of ex- travagance. You have only to study 'our results to see that our money has been wisely spent. Get this fact before you straight. We are out for business, we have gone and will go, after it fairly, but we are out for all that we can get. We would be thor- oughly unfaithful to the people of Canada it we followed any other method." NURAES' SALARIES REDUCED By Ottawa School Board From ee $3,00 Oto $1,500.

REPAIR WORK ON KINGSTON, ONT., FRIDAY, Bell | SEPTEMBER PETERBORO LOST 0UT ON PROTEST Found That No Rule 'Had Been Made About Right Field. A meeting of the Central Ontaria Amateur Baseball League was held in Belleville on Thursday afternoon at one-thirty, chiefly for the purpose of hearing the profest of the Peter- boro Baseball Club against the King- ston club, resulting from the final series of the League, which Kingston took by two straight victories. The evidente taken was short and to the point and it was found that no rule of any kind had been made with regard to right field. The pro- test committee, consisting of the three past-presidents, E. Parsons, Oshawa; A. C. Kimmell, Peterboro, M. P. Duff, Belleville, and the pre- sident, C. M. Anderson, Belleville, heard the evidence of Umpires Ken Colling, George Sullivan, Alex. Kay and Walter Gerow, who officiated in the final series. Umpire Colling, who was chief of the series, declared emphatically that no rule had been made with regard to right field, al- though he admitted that there should have been. Umpire Sullivan knew of no rule about right fleld rand neither did Walter Gerow. Alex. Kay was of the opinion that a rule was made for both fields, but he did not make any positive s ment. After hearing the evidemice of the umpires, the committe on "the pro- test asked the other members pre- sent to adjourn and in a few mom- ents they had decided that the Peter- boro protest be' not sustained and that Kingston be declared the win- ners of the Central Ontario Amateur Baseball League for the. 1925 sea- son.

INCREASE OF "COAL PRICES 1S CRITICIZE "Rank, Ruthless Profiteering" Says Mine Workers' Editar. SETTLEMENT PROPOSED Railway President on the Present Scale of Wages For Two Years. Philadelphia, Sept. 4.--Reports from New York and, other cities that retail prices of anthracite coal have been increased because dealers allege they have been compelled to buy "independent coal" at' higher prices, were received by mine union leaders today with the declaration that such action was unwarranted. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, sald that he was not surprised that consumers were being compelled to pay more for their coal on the third day of the strike. He declared that the coal now being sold was mined at the same cost as that sold last week. "Independent coal," so-called be- cause produced by companies other than the "railroad group," has: nof {yet come into the market in great | quantities, it was said. "Rank, ruthless profiteering," was the--dtatement of Ellis Searles, edi- tor of .the United Mine Workers' Journal, fn commenting on the price increase In New York. and other large centres. Old line operators said they were not to blame for the actions"of retailers. What was regarded in coal circles as a possible peace feeler was put out by President E. E. Loomis of the Lehigh Valley Riilway. Mr. Loomis; in conversation with persons in Phil- adelphia over the telephone today, suggested that the anthracite strike might be settled by a renewal of the present wage agreement for 18 months or two years. ment from Lewis, of the mine work- ers. Major W. W. Inglis, ¢hiity of the anthracite operators' negotiat- ing committee, was not at his office at Scrantodi and it was said he was visiting mines in the coal region. Mr. Loomis was president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and he is said to be an authority on anthracite coal. 2 May Consider Renewal. Disclaiming any intention of speak- ing for the operators, 'Mr. Loomis, who was in Europe during the joint negotiations, said he fell that many operators, to avoid a long suspension and risk of losing thelr markets, might be persuaded to consider re- newing the present wage for a year and a half or two yedrs. At the same time, he said, operators felt that the ten per cent. wage increase added to the war peak by Governor Pinchot in 1923 was no longer justi- fled. \ ' Mr. Loomis said that the railroad were among the many "innocent by- standers" who suffered from the strike. He said the rail men's pay bad increased 141 per cent. since 1914, as against an increase of 192 per cent. in the Jdurly rate of the mine workers since 1914. Reporis to the miners' headquar- ters at the Bellevue Stratford here indicate" that peaceable conditions preyailed in the strike territory. OC. J. Golden, president of district No. 9, came here today and made a report to Lewis. No statement was made today by the operators.

THO CONVICTS ESCAPE AFTER YEARS OF WORK Drilled Through Steel Celling of Their Cell and Made a Ladder. Hartford, Conn;, Sept. 4.--Months, perhaps years, of racking labor and patience were rewarded early yester- day when two of the most dangerous criminals at Wethersfield escaped from the state prison where Gerald Chapman: awaits hanging December 3rd. Ope, Frank Land, a jewellery thief, in. New York apd Connecticut, was making his thirdijail escape, his second from the Wethersfield prison. The .other was a lifer, Michael "Lefty" McDonnell, of the Jersey City gang of silk thieves, who was convicted - of murdering Captain William Madden at the Chensy silk mills in Manchester, six years ago, shortly after finishing a fifteen-year sentence at Sing Sing. Of all the escapes from Wethers- field, theirs was the most sensa- tional, the best planned, the bold- est, afid the surest. It seems certain they had Outside help both before and after leaping the prison walls, and a rigid investigation is on by Colonel Norris G. Osborn, head of the prison commission, and Warden Henry K.
