He says: “In lthe course of all this desperate fight- ing there have been innumerable in- !stances of the most courageous and ; devoted actions, impossible at present ito detail. ‘The case of a Corporal 01 ran eastern Ontario battalion is, how- lever, one of the most extraordinary i ever recorded. The battalion had suc- ‘cessfully captured a line of German gtrenches, when a party of the enemy, 9consisting o; two officers and about Etwenty men. began a counter-attack. lThe Corpc-rtti advanced alone against lthe whole party, emptied his revolver, picked up first one and then another :German rifle, each of which he emp- tied, accounting for the two officers and sixteen of the men.

The Corporal shot four of ithem, and made the fifth a prisoner. Although wounded in two places, he remained in the trenches until his ibattalion was relieved.” The Verdun Front Gen. Joffre, under date of Sept. 29, sent the following order of the day to the armies of the north: The general commanderinâ€"chief expresses great satisfaction to the troops who have been fighting un- ceasingly on the Somme for nearly l three months.

Some of the speakers who had been brought into close contact with its operations declared that it was so full of loop- holes that it was almost impossible for labor organizations to attain the goal for which they are struggling when forced to accept the Act as a means of adjusting their differences with employers. Others contended that with the eradication of some of the undesirable features it might have a tendency to improve conditions.
