Jottings From Fenelon Falls The famous French aviator Count deLesseps, was one of the party on board Mrs. McKenzie’s boat the Wawanet, which reached the Falls from Kirkfield on Tuesday. Owing to an accident to the lower lock gates the boat was unable to lock through, and the pafties were conveyed to their destination on board Mr. Ca- ahore’s boat, the Hiawatha. The Str. Manita and passengers had ?0 remain all night, at the Falls .ow- mg to the accident. Mr. A. Northey, professional diver, 0f Peterboro, arrived Wednesday and the gates were soon repaired as a re- sult of his investigation. Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

PRINCIPAL DYER D. II. N0 VAC “ION last week on Tuesday on I follow Will’s “You who have not learned to float may be thrown into the water. You may have a few hours and a few seconds of warning. Use those few or many seconds to get control of yourself, and there are two things you should bring to the front in your thoughts.

The important thing to remember is: Hold your breath all the time until you know you will take in air and not water. “When you are in the water you should practice floating. It is easier to float in deep than in shallow water but until you have learned to swim, prudence demands that you remain where you can stand with your head above water. Walk out until‘ the sur- face is near your shoulders. You can float in a less dephth but it is more difficult. Allow yourself to fall back- ward. Make no efiort to prevent the sinking. Let your nose point to the zenith. Your head may go under water but it will rise again. You can take try word for it, knowing that if you fail you can stand on your feet. “With the air expelled as much as possible by ordinary breathing, and with no swimming movement, some part of the head will remain above the water. If the experiment is to be prolonged it is more agreeable to throw the head back and have the nose above the water, but this is a detail. “Probably the bodies of drowned persons sink because they have taken in large quantities of water. Whether this is or is not the explanation is not important. “Any normal person can float in the water,” he said. “A good swimmer can learn more easily than others and he should learn it. There may be human bodies that will be entirely submerged if unsupported, but I very much doubt it, and I know that such bodies are rare.’ “It is inexcusable for cramps to cause the death of a good swimmer” remarked an old and enthusiastic swimmer. last week.

The bride wore a lovely robe of white satin and duchess and point lace, and carried a bouquet of roses and lilies. Miss Kathleen Mc- Crohan, as bridesmaid, wore yellow satin veiled in spangled net with Nea- politan hat, with yellow plumes and nosegay of mauve sweet peas. The flower girls, Eleanor Milligan and Maria Foley, who wore dainty white frocks over shell pink, were escorted by Master Owen McCrohan. Mr. Chas J. Zeag'man was best man, and Mr T. J. Spratt, and Mr. C. J. Gilooly acted as ushers. A reception followed the ceremony before Mr. and Mrs. Henry left for the New England Stat- es. The latter travelled in a tan suit with Irish crochet collar and hat to match. Owing to the G.T.R. strike, the Toronto guests were forced to motor down. Iners had to take them home again. 'At the least calculation, it was worth $2 to make such a trip for nothing. Not likely they would give five cents towards a telephone, which would have saved all that.

Gleanings From Powles’ Corners HENRYfâ€"McCROHAN HYMEMEAL In every controversy between capiâ€" tal and labor, the public has a. right to try the case, and it does try it and try it well, and the few strikes where labor can claim any measure of suc- cess, has been strikes where- public sentiment was overwhelming in favor of the strikers. _ _ The average manâ€"the man in the street, the middle man, who belongs neither to the laboring nor the capiâ€" talistic class likes fair play. The fact that War exists in any country, or upon any railway, often leads to crimes that would horrify even the perpetrators at any other time. { Labor, I am going to say right ofi Ithe bat, is not always conscientious, not always honest. Let me illustrate: Two years ago the railway builders in Canada were paying $40.00 a month and board for men to drive teams. Labor was scarce and so expensive. Now the man, who having taken a ‘contract, figuring that labor would icost him so much per day, finding that he would be obliged to pay 25 per cent more than he had counted on had a perfect right to expect that 1 the expensive article would be equal, {at least, to the service rendered when r the rate was lower, but he did not get it. Ask any contractor in Canada and he will tell you that it is dangerous to say good morning to a driver at $60.00 and board, while he could ap- {proach aman who was receiving $25 Ea month and board tell him to take (a cockle burr from under a mule's A workman who is one of you toâ€" day is promoted to-morrow, and‘ the next day you begiu to mistrust him. On the other hand, capital is often absolutely conscientious. Still, I think the tyranny of labor is crueler more pitiless than the tyranny of ca.- pital. As a rule, ‘most of the men who boss the job for capital have ris- en from the rank. They know both sides of the story and my experience does not lead me to believe that men as they succeed, grow cold and care- He is recei‘v ng 25 per cent more than he got two years ago, and doing 25 per cent less work. That is what I mean when I say labor is not always conscientious. Yesterday he had to take care of his job. .4. tail, and he will walk cheerfully up to the very door of death and do it. Why ? The answer is easy. A. man can quit work to-day, go ov- er to the next contractor and find em- ployment. I This is all very well, but like the cowboy with a gun and the emperor with an army, there is always the ldanger that, feeling cocksure of vic- itory, there is a. disposition to rush linto trouble. The price of labor is always regu- lated by the supply and demand. I have often been asked how labor may avoid strikes. ' wéu, in this, Labor and Capital must coâ€"operate, must work together rhust treat each other fairly. Few men who speak or write, or even think on the labor question would deny the right to organize la.- bor. Labor has as much right to or- ganize as capital, but no greater right, and labor should demand no protection under the law that is not given to what we may call capital. Labor collectively or individually has no right to destroy capital neith~ er has capital the right to kill the laboring men. Admitting that the greatest minis- ter of war is the minister who avoids war, we must admit that the greatest labor leader is the one who leads the the laboring people out of trouble. Workingmen the world over are organizing and forming unions for the purpose of defending their rights or what they conceive to be ttheir rights.

' We noticed recently that a youth} received several years in the peniten- : tiary for breaking into a summer 1 house at Balmy Beach, another gotl eighteen months for being an accom- ‘ plice. The judge seems to show more mercy to a burglar who breaks into an i‘nhabited house, than to one who takes advantage of the house being vacated for part of the year, and if the guilty parties are brought before a judge they will doubtless get a lesson that will put a stop to 11011::6 breaking in this district.

The way to make the most of the Lemieux Act is not to try and find flaws in it, but to try and improve upon it all along the line. Since capital is essential to the success of labor, and vice versa, it would seem good business for each to work over towards the other all the while. A dollar lying idle in the bark does not earn anything, but it dces not depreciate. There is another and better way of settling and diflerences that may ex- ist betweencapital and labor and that is, by arbitration. Of course, if you go in for this sort of settlement, you must abide by the decision of the ar. bitrator. I do not suppose that any one claims the Lemieux Law is perfect, Yet some great students have acknow- ledged that it goes along way In the right direction. ' These crimes are committed, accor- ding to capital, by labor, to terrorize the employers, while labor contends that the agents of the company do these things to damn the strikers.
