It is to he hoped that the nr w national labor organization—which now groups together about. a mil- lion members of the former _Trades and Labor Congress of Canada and the Canadian Congress of Labor— will exercise some wise restraint in this matter, in keeping with, the tremendous responsibility It ., as- sumed: with the merger ,of ther two labor bodies, Whether or not a company—or. a labor union, for it'is one of labor's basic freedoms too— is willing or able to accept a ruling of an arbi- tration or a conciliation hoard is the basic issue at stake in. this particular case, The ruling of .either type of labor boards is not legally binding upon either of the parties, and indeed it could not be made So -without interfering with labor's right to strike or the company's right to operate its own business as It sees economically fit. We do not say that every company which lips refused to accept an arbitration. debision has acted wisely, or even in its own interests. Neither do we Say,' in-all cases, that a union is necessarily neglecting its own in- terests by refusing a sitnilat decis- ion, • a course of action which is also not unknown in labor-manage- anent negotiations. The proposal, then, to have the government authorize the payment of full benefits under the Unern- plOyment Insurance Act is clearly intended to load the dice against one of the parties to the dispute by relieving the"union of paying strike benefits out of its own funds or by supplementing the union's allowances to its strikers. • It is one thing to make full un- The red rex belongs to the same great family as the clog, the wolf' and the Jackal It weighs from five to' ten pounds and is from three to three and one-half feet in • lenTglitcl. il foX, for various reasons, has OLD FRIENDS REVISITED Books,, from the point of view of the average housewife, are pri- marily objects that take up Space and haVe to be dusted. If she is cursed with a book-buying hus- band, from time to time she has to deliver an unitimatum, somewhat as follows: "You mustn't buy any more books until you've • cleared some of the , old ones off your shelves," It should he a simple task to , meet that order, Any' library is likely to contain a good many hooks 'that are outdated or that the owner has outgrown. Why not pick them out, send them to a vet- erans' hospital or a,. church' rum- mage sale and begin refilling the vacant shelves with something better? And it is a simple task until the harried husband starts to' perform it. Then it. becomes pain- ful, if not impossible. It's eaSy' enough 'to dedide what hooks must be kept. Ency,clope- dies, dictionaries, other books of reference go on the "truist,'"Iist automatically. Shakespeare and the Bible belong in, every library, so they stay, Some technical hooks re- lating to work or hobbies must be kept, often because of only a chap- ter or two. But that decision has only cleared the decks for action. One still has to decide what to dis- card. How to start? There's "Gone with the Wind" taking up the space of three or four pocket-sized books. Probably one will never want to read it again. Besides, the author lifted a good many of her charac- ters ready-made from "Vanity Fair" and, as she hadn't created thein, didn't understand ' thc'm as Thackeray had, And that reminds one to look at "Vanity Fair" again, although it is not slated for dis- card. Becky Sharp and the Craw- leys are worth revisiting for an hour or two surely. • Then one thinks that it is strange how fascinating- in books are the characters one Would•avoid in real life.

They only need to be taken from the shelves, as they have been while these musings proceed, to make their old friend swear, with Mrs. Micawber, that he will never desert them. But revisiting has taken time, and another 'evening has , gone without advancing , one much. closer to the fatal decision. Still, a beginning has been made. One has decided to scrap "Gone with the.
