The y n ¢f M alth i I‘ The striking miners are returning to worlk. Part of their demands have been conceded, a ten iper cent. increase in wages being the most imâ€" &,portant. The coal famine which was so greatly | feared is therefore not likely to materialize this f‘ year, but the increase in the cost of coal willcorâ€" | respond with the advance in wages received by Eg the miners. The people always bear the burden. r]‘t is a question whether orâ€"rtot such an increase , brings the return to the miners which appears on fithe face. The loss of timevoccasioned-b_\‘ strikes, | the large amount paid into the union funds, the increase in the cost of everything which they. have to buy must almost, if not altogether, equal the amount realized from the added pay. But there §$is no. way by which strikes can be averted and J the great body of citizens would: rather submit yto the demands of the strikers than suffer from I;cold. . Hence the appeal to bring about a settle: | ment on the best termsâ€"obtainable. While speculation is still rife as to the aggreâ€" gate of the western Canadian crop, it is gratifyâ€" ing to find that our exports of wheat for the twelve months ending July 31, were 229,849,410 bushels as compared with 150,935,359 bushels in the previous twelve months. Moreover, the exâ€" ports for July of the present year were over 12,â€" 000,000 bushelssas compared . with somewhat over 9,000,000 bushels in July of 1922. The United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, Frante, Japan, Norway, Denâ€" matk, British South Africa and Sweden, were the purchasers in the order named as regards bull, of our wheat in the last twelve months. That is In all parts of Ontario at least, business in all lines has been retarded by reason of the large numbers who were away on holidays. Two or three weeks‘ absence from business and another week to get rested after the "holiday" ended was not an\uncommon experience, while almost every town and village . had its midweek half holiday. Toâ€"all this is added the statutory holiâ€" days, and the days given over to special events. In a place, givingâ€" employment to evenâ€"I0D or 12 people it is very difficult to find them all "on the job" twoâ€"weeks in succession; Holidays and soâ€" called health improving recreations are all very fine, but are we extending them too far? Can we afford so much idleness? "Of course, the town manager Has full control of everything. If he wants fifteen constables for special duty, he hires them the same as a factory manager hires fifteen laborers to unload cars. When their work is finished they are laid off. He has all the finances of all the different branches of the town‘s business under his conâ€" trol and he knows at all times just where the town stands financially, how much money is on hand for work to be done and just how much workhas to be done. Moreover, it has been found that the town manager systerm hHas been advantageous from the standpoint of more work being. done for less money. than under the council system." /s More work dividuals, well q@aickly than ar "Where this system has been tried in differâ€" ent parts of the United States it has proven to be a moneyâ€"saver for the city or town. as well as being more satisfactory in every way to all ratepayers. Under this system three men are elected as a commission for terms of one, two and three years, soâ€" that at notime is there more than one inexperienced man on the . commuission.. This commission acts inmuch the same manner as the board of directorsâ€" of, a gigantic manufacturing plant, meeting once a month and reviewing the work and finaances of the previous month. This commussion employs one man who is known as a town manager. This town manager runs the town,. looks, after. all the work. of the town and transacts all the business of the town under the supervision of the, commission in. the same manâ€" ner as a manager of a big factory runs his facâ€" tory. He is hired on aâ€"yearly salary and it is up to him to run his town and produce results the same as a factory manager has to do. a range which once more emphasizes the grdx;»’tljl of Canada‘s British and foreign trade relations. FOR BETTER MUNICIPAL GOVERNâ€" MENT t GE es less waste, on the part of im remove business troubles more vthing else. <Fâ€"dr yE bovelt B ned ioi yoen forrals Two years ago the then government of Canaâ€" da was condemned, because there had not been a greater reductionâ€"in the cost of living, and promises of lessened burdens were made in all parts of Canada if only the â€"Hon. Mackenzie King was given control of the government.. He seeured such control, but the promised‘improveâ€" ment has not been effected. The Department of Labor furnishes statistics for the past month. The cost of twentyâ€"nine staple foods for an avâ€" erage family of five in sixty Canadian cities was $10.53 for the first week in August, as compared with $10.17 a month earlier. The same foods cost $10A4‘in August a year ago; $16.92 in June, 1920, when prices were at their highest,, and $7.68 in August, 1914., Potatoes showed the only important. change, accounting for 34 centsâ€"of the advance. . Small increases occurred in eggs, daiâ€" ry butter, cheese, sirloin steak, beans, coffee and tea. There were declines_ in sugar, milk, lard, salt pork, veal and mutton. Including the cost of fuel and rent with that of foods, the weekly budget averaged $21.03 at the beginning of Auâ€" gust,as compared with $20.65 for July, and $21.98 for August, 1922. Fuel_ showed little change from the.July level, and rent was unchanged,. .__ The twentieth annual estimate of the western wheat crop made by. the Winnipeg Free Press places the 1923 yield at the enormous. total of 452,503,169 bushels, the largest in the history of the country. Such a ctop. will: enable many western farmers to catch up with their payments and thus improve business in all parts of the dominion. \ ; The Civil Service. Commission at â€"Ottawa has not increased it popularity by adding Sepâ€" tember to the months in which government emâ€" ployees in the different departments will work from nine in the morning until four in the afterâ€" noon,.with an hour and a half for lunch. Five hours and a half make a very short day. If the work can be accomplished in that time; it is clearâ€" ly the duty. of the government to dismiss at least oneâ€"third of the staff, fix an eightâ€"hour day and save millions annually. The great body of the service is composed of young, ableâ€"bodied men and women. In other wallks in life, where much greater strain is occasioned, eight hours is the recognized day. Here is a place for economy. Some rather striking figures illustrating the value of the home market to the agriculturists of Cangda were presented by C. Howard Smith, president of the Association, during the course of his address at the Canadian National Exhibiâ€" tion.. Mr. Smith placed the numbeér of people in Canada dependent on manufacturing industry for their livelihood at 2,500,000, and asked what was the extent of their purchases of farm proâ€" ducts. h i Mr. Smith presented these figures in order to demonstrate the value of the home market to the agricultural community and as part of an arguâ€" ment to show.the close interdependence of manâ€" ufacturing and farming. Having estimated the value ofâ€"the individual centres as a market for the farmer, hke went on to show. the value of the farm as a market {for the manufacturer.> Figur ing the value.of manufactured goods per annum at $4,000,000,000 and deducting nearly $500,000,â€" 000 for exports, he figured that of the balance at least 25 per cent. was consumed on the farms, giving the manufacturer a market of yery little less than $1,000,000,000â€"per annum. The opening of so many branch banks has no doubt been a convenience to people, of the im mediate districts, but the additional ovegrheard is paid directly or indirectly by the patrons of the banic. It is safe to say that fewer small offices willh be opened in future, and the result will be satisfactory. I Practical facty of this kind afford the strong est refutation of the theory that an opening up of our markets to the foreign manufacturer will be to the advantage of Canada. If the farmer buys more imported goods, he naturally buys less \Canâ€" adian goods; the Canadian â€"manufacturer loses an important part of his market and must either go out of business or restrict his operations; the farmer‘s home market is injured and so the policy reacts prejudicially on all sections of the comâ€" munity. Speculators in Montreal and Toronto are ofâ€" fering to pay from 60 to 70 cents on the dollar to Home Bank depositors for the amount held by the defunct institution. They will no doubt secure the accounts of the fearful and unbelievâ€" ing. $2,202,993, having been changed into a. Surplus of $2,984460. Moreover for that part of the year ending August 31st the gross earnings show an increaseâ€"of $17,575,114. The earnings for the last weel of August were $808.839 better than the same week last year, this year‘s figures being $7,179,880. To arrive at an estimate he took the weekly budg¢t of food purchases adopted byâ€"the Departâ€" ment of Labour as the basis of family consumpâ€" tHion and extended the figures to cover the needs of 2,500,000â€"people for a year. (This gave the tolâ€" lowing results.: Meat, 260,000,000 pounds, eggs, 52,000,000 dozen ; mmilk, 39,000,000 gallons ; bread, 195,000 tons; butter, 78,000,000 pounds; potatoes, 13,000,000 bushels. And, of course, these totals represent only a part of the purchases of farm products Oof the industrial population, since they do not include a.large number of miscellaneous commodities. / s \ ; For the first seven months of the present year the Canadian National .
