A despatch from Toronto BAYS Rejecting a final offer from employing printers of the Toronto Typothetae off a minimum v wage of $36 for a 48-hour week or $33 for a 44-hour 'week. 2,000 union employees of the printing indus. try, job 'section, decided to go on strike on June 1." At the meeting of Local 91, International Typographical Union, the National Pressmen's and Press Assistants' Union, and the Bookbinders' and Bindery Women's Union, the report of negotiating com- mittdes of the unions that the offer of employers be rejected was unanimous- ly endorsed. The strike is likely to Prove a pro- tracted affair. Employers state, through Treasurer F. M. Kimbark of the Toronto Typothetae, that it is tm- possible for them to meet the demands of the unions, and union officials de- clare that their members are insistent in the demand for the 44-hour week without a reduction in wages at least, if .not with an increased wage. Employers and unions are provided with large funds to carry on the fight. Some time ago the Typothetae an- 'ncinced an assessment of three mcnths' payroll and overhead expenses to meet expense its members might "FOR 44-500 RVI AN One Hundred Job Sho Non 1io-Shikors: Demand for 44-Hour We ab ot S000 Pistore, Prose | men' Bookbinders Have Quit. : ineiz by « sbrike, 'and later the unjon | évied a 10 per cent, weekly wage as- % mbers.

President Andrew Gerrard of the printers' union, claimed 'that some of these concerns had agreed-to give the 44-hour week with present wages, pending a settlement, and in these shops men would be permitted to work. Among the latter is the Wilson Pub- lishing . Company, a large newspaper distributing concern, the closing down of which would have had a serious ef- fect upon publications throughout the country. 3 Some officials of the Typographical Union claim that the National Press- men's and Press Assistants' Union may come out of the strike with bet- ter agreements than other organiza-|: tions. The pressmen are insisting upon $42 a week and the 44-hour week, and have been able to secure the sign- atures of some employers to an agree- ment to this effect. RACIAL FIGHT IN SOUTHERN STATES Thirty Dead is Roll of Whom Nine Are Whites, With Heavy Property Loss. A despatch from Tulsa, 'Okla, says: .--Martial law prevailed in bul- let-swept Tulsa Wednesday afternoon, with order restored under the grim threat of four companies of war- manned State troops. Twenty hours of desperate race rioting had destroy- ed over a million dollars' worth of property and razed the entire negro section. The city, blood-drenched 'and black- ened by incendiary fires, was begin- ning to care for its 'dead. According to the latest authentic report, nine whites and twenty-one negroes are known to have been killed during the race clash. An estimate places property damage at $1,500,000. All this, according to Gen. C. F. Bar- rett, commanding the State troops, called here to maintain martial law, was ineited by "an impudent negro, a hysterical girl and a yellow journal reporter," Representative citizens of Tulsa.met on Thursday and condemned the city and county law enforcement officials, holding them responsible for the dis- astrous outbreak. In addressing this meeting Gen. Barrett stated that, while he was ordering the withdrawal of the National Guard from Tulsa, there was no intention to remove the martial law edict until such time as it was shown the city could care for itself, A committee, in which Mayor T. D. Evans was denied a place, was appointed to care for the helpless ne- groes, estimated to number more than 8,000, and to expedite the work of re- building the burned negro quarter.

OF PACT Canada's Proposal Discussed by League of Nations Committee. A despatch from London says: -- The League of Nations Committee on Amendments again discussed the Can- adian proposal for the elimination of article ten from the covenant. Arthur J. Balfour, who is presiding over the sessions, proposed that, owing to the conflicting interpretations of the article and the importance attached to it in the United States, it should be referred to a committee of jurists to obtain an exact definition of what res- ponsibilities it places upon the mem- bers of the League, and what relation- ship it bears to the rest'of the coven- ant, This proposal was adopted and the article was referred to a committee made up of Vittorio Scialoia for Italy; Sir Cecil Hurst, Great Britain; M. Fromageot, France; M. Struycken, Holland, and M. Bourquin, Belgium. The committee's report and Canada's statement on the article will be sub- mitted at the next meeting of the League of Nations Assembly. menial Liverpool Telegraph Wires Cut by Sinn Feiners A despatch from I.ondon says,-- Lands of Siren Meiners, following a car.fully prepared plan, cut-telegraph and telephonc wires over a wide area in the Liverpoul district early Friday morning.

In one night of this week more rain. fell in the southern portion of this province than was recorded last year during She en- tire month of June. The activities of eubworms have been 'interfered with by recent rains, while grasshopper damage, thanks to the extremely efficient organizations of farmers and Provincial authorities, has been localized and as yet is of no consequence. Fairly heavy frosts have killed tender garden stuff, but have had little, if any, effect on, growing crops anywhere on the prairies.
