An Orderly Strike credit for the restrained manner in which the men have fought their em- players is due to the sympathy and good sense of the Mayor of the town and the chief of police the popu-J larity of Mayor Ashley may be gauged by the fact that he has held office for 25 years. and Chief of Police 37 years of police experience. Contrary to the practice of nearly every other Mayor and chief of police when deal- ing with a grave industrial crisis, the sympathies of these men are with the strikers. They have permitted peace- ful picketing on a vast scale. It is true that they have arrested some natured proceeding. thoroughly un- derstood by all hands. Strict injunc- tions against such clubbings as are the favorite method of dealing with strikes in the nearby town of Law- rence has been used. Indeed the mill- owners complain that the strikers are being pampered and not held to the MORE READABLE TYPE In line with its established policy of giving its readers the best there is, The Chronicle is one of the first papers in the country to adopt this new and more readable type. This type meets the demand for larger print Without reduction in the amount of news matter. This week’s issue of The Chronicle is set partly in a new style of type recently brought out by the Mergenthaler Lino- type Company. As is clearly shown by the above comparison, the new type appears much larger and clearer yet gives just as many (or more) words to the column than the type heretofore used in our pages.

When the Winter comes ,if the strike lasts that long can the strikers continue to hold out? Wage Cut the Cause Prior to last Easter the average wage of all employes in New Bedfdrd cotton mills was $19 a Week. On Easter Monday twenty-six companies announced that there‘ would be an all-round reduction of 10 per cent. The reason was that with the existing wage scale the mills could not meet. outside competition. The respoqse of the workers was almost as abrupt; they would go on strike. The mills closed. with one exception, which con- tinues to pay the old scale and ope!- ate apparently at a profit. In July the mills announced that they would reOpen and some 50 men turned up to work. So they were closed again and have remained closed ever since. In the interval some 5,000 workers have left the city to seek employment elsewhere. The all but universal sympathy with the men makes the lot of the striker easier, but does no- thing for the general well-being of the town. Landlords have suspended maletterofthehwinthematter approved and the action of the com- in the unions when the strike was. declared, but they are not the less united to resist a wage cut and the organization is growing every day. The weakness of the strikers is not lack of organization; it is lack of money. The unions are all bmhe? afford a local boycou if they were: permitted to reduce wages as they plan.

These leaders are extremely able fellows. students of human nature. :levbn speakers, plausible debaters. They usually wait until the pinch of hunger is felt, when men are likely to listen to appeals to their emotions .‘athierl than to their reason. when they are disappointed at the non-success of their old conservative advisers. Then violence is likely to break out. It never succeeds in its immediate end, but it never fails to make deeper and more bitter the feeling of the strikers to those better off. This is the end aimed at by the communists. and this is why they find in every losing strike a victoryâ€"J. V. McAree in Mail and Empire. rents. Merchants are extending cree- dit. But there will come a time when New Bedford can no longer live on its internal fat. The question may be which can continue to lose money the longer, the millionaires who own the mills, or the workers? Such a question seems to admit of only one answer.

BANFFâ€"LAKE LOUISE AND THE CANADIAN ROCKIES The two Grey County old boys are Hon. N. S. Lougheed and Hon. S. L. Howe. Mr. Lmigheed. who is a nephew of the late Senator Lougheed, went. to British Columbia from this county as a young man and for many years has operated a successful lumber business on the Fraser river. He is recognized as the man behind the Conservative campaign oganization, which suc- ceeded in the provincial election recently. He has held the import.- ant. post of president of the British Columbia Conservative As- ‘sociation during the last three years. He is now minister of public works. ‘_ Hon. Samuel Lyons Howe, prov- incial secretary. was born in Grey On March 14, 1864. He received his education in Ontario, after which he was on the staff of the Meaford Post office for some time. Follow, ing this he studied as a druggist and graduated from the Ontario College of Pharmacy in 1881. He moved to Vancouver in 1896, enter- ed the real estate business on the coast and also established a finan- cial house. Mr. Howe served in various capacities in eastern mun- icipalities before going west. He was the first Reeve of Point Grey; in which district he ran for Leg- islature. The ()ntarian members of the. cabinet are: W. A. Atkinson, min- ister of agriculture, elected in ('jliilliwack and born in Whitby and spent the earlier part of his life in Huron county; W. C. Shelly, minister of finance, elected in Vancouver; born in Jordan and going,r to RC. in 1900; W. A. Mc- Kenzie. minister of mines, elected in Similkameen, born in Puslincll and a member of three B.C. parlia- ments; R. L. Maitland. minister without. portfolio, elected in Van- couver, born in Ingersoll, and going to B. G. early in life with hie. parents. Ontario is well represented in the. cabinet chosen for British Colum- bia's new government by its Con- servative premier. Hon. Simon P. Tolmie. native of Victoria and for twelve. years Victoria‘s represen- tative in the Dominion House. Of the eleven ministers in the. new cabinet, which includes the premâ€" ier and one minister without portfolio, six are former Ontario men and two of these are natives of Grey county. Hon. N. S.

TWO GREY BOYS IN NEW B. C. CABINET ef- Many valuable discoveries had never been patented, and Mr. Gomme gave as -examples the wheel, the screw, the mariner’s compass, printing, paper, gun- powder, spectacles. A know- ledge of the literature in the Fat- ent Office library, he said, would enable the reader to detect the To define what could be patent- ed was difficulty but, chiefly, any article might be patented that was novel, useful, not illegal and that was a saleable commodity. Thus, it was not possible to patent a system of book-keeping or a pro- cess for disguising cabbage as to- matoes. After referring to these and sim- ilar inventions, Mr. Gomme said: “A keen observer of present day ten- dencies in social and industrial ai- fairs might obtain from these old records many ideas, which, re-in- troduced under more suitable con- ditions and with all the improve- ments in construction, and detail made possible by the greater re- sources we have at. our disposal, today, could be put. into successful practice \vith less trouble and at an earlier date if they had to be thought out. ab initio.” The pneumatic tire, he Showed, was invented as early as 1845, but proved unwanted until the arrival of the fast-moving bicycle; the fountain pen was patented in 1809, but found little acceptance, and roller skates was invented in 1823, but the bad state of the roads pre- vented them being. appreciated. Many of the secrets of the Patent Office were given'up when A. A. Gomme, Librarian of the Bri- tish Patent Office; lectured before’ the Institute of Patentees at the Caxton Hall on the material con- tained. in the library, says the London Morning Post. 3 Pneumatic Tire Was Invented as Early as. 1845. ‘ NOTHING NEW Careful research \muld reveal such facts as that the I‘OH-top desk was described in 1772 and safety razors in 1762, while the taximetcr went back to the begin- ning of our own era. “There was,” he said, “a loud-speaker in 1671, and a diving bell in 1664, and a 19]. escopo. in 1702.” ’fallaey 01‘ such. popular notions as that .J‘ames Watt invented the steam engine or George Stevenson the IOcomotive, or Fulton the steamboat, Galileo the telescope, Farad'y the electro-magnet. or Marconi the wireless telegraph}: BATES BURIAL C0.
