Predict Complete Coal Tie-Up By April Ist. (Toronto Globe) “There seems to be no doubt in New York among Wall Street men that there will be a complete sus- pension of coal mining on April 1.” Mr. Chas. McGill of the McGill Coal Company, Limited, who yester- day returned from the United States, where he has been studying the coal situation, made this statement in re- ply to a query as to the coal situa- tion in the United States at the pres- ent time. The reason for this ap- parently well-founded belief, Mr. McGill continued, is that the bitum- ous coal miners, waose present four- year agreement terminates on March $1, have presented demands with which the operators will be unable to comply. Briefly, they ask for an increase of $2 per day for men paid by the day; the reduction af working hours to six per day in a five-day week, full recognition of their union, and that, whenever practicable, coal be paid for on the short-ton The short-ton basis refers to the difference in Canadian and American tonnage of 40 pounds. For contract miners a 60 per cent. increase is asked. - Carrying Bottles — It is an odd sight to see many school children carrying bottles to F bottles, however, contain nothing but water, as the children have been for- The baby,-1 tiny de enid, sren.cell- Jane. - * _enforcement—and decide on a pro- Neighbors Haul Body Globe—If Oniario >| parvaeealy “dry it referendum on the- ist errs by a rury’s announcement in the legis- lature yesterday, when he spoke in the debate on the reply to the Speech from the Throne. “Frankly I am not satisfied with conditions as ithey exist ‘at the preés- ent time,” said the Premier. “Ek be- lieve that the Ontario Temperance Act cannot be e any sa factory manner as long as interpro- vincial trade exists..

(Hanover Post.) Mr. Peter Kincaid, of the township of Sullivan, died at the age of 94 years and his funeral was held last Friday afternoon. The minister was unable to reach the home which was six miles from Chesley. The under- taker could only get there by walking. The friends and neighbors were un- able to take their horses on the road. The casket was taken on a \light sleigh and was drawn by long ropes by 15 neighbors six miles to the Chesley cemetery. Other friends steadied the sleigh to keep it on the road. At times the gangs changed. The mourners walked behind The procession occupied more than two hours on the way. They arrived at the cemetery wet through and worn out and with their clothes freezing. They were taken to a restaurant and served with hot tea and coffee. Not a single horse was on the road. The undertaker, who set out with a, single horse and light sleigh to meet the procession was guiiget to leave his--herse.a— town and draw the sleigh ‘Sack to Chesley with a broken shaft. The horse could go no farther. Plans Government Loans To Encourage Farming Stratford, March 21.—Hon. Man- ning Doherty, Minister of Agricul- ture, yesterday addressed a meeting of the agricultural section of the Chamber of Commerce at noon-day luncheon About 300 attended, a large proportion being farmers. Mr. S. J. Monteith, president of the agricultural section, presided, and speakers were introduced by his Wor- ship Mayor Stevenson. Among others at the speakers’ table was Warden J. M. McCallum of North Easthope. Mr. Doherty spoke on rural prob- lems and told how he proposed to try and improve conditions in the country and keep the people there. One plan, he stated, he intended to try was a system of rural credits by which it would be possible for farm- ers’ sons or farm laborers to get a start for themselves. He said that in his opinion, with better edu- cational facilities, a better chance for community Hfe would make life more attractive and keep the young people on the farm and _ increase production, which was the only real remedy for the high cost of living. Pointing out that there are now 50,000 fewer farmers in Ontario than in 1872, and that the production of people living in the country and in towns and cities had exactly reversed themselves in 30 years, Mr. Doherty said that it was quite necessary that there must be more production if the cost of living is to decrease. Thirty per cent. cannot go on feeding them- selves and the other 70 per cent. and provide for export for an indefinite period. Mr. Doherty expressed him- self as heartily in accord with the importatiop Spe Dekel avas the effect of Premier) ~ ont oh) so to she made Pe constitutean apinenes! suchas the suffering and sorrow during tucrible days of 1918.
