ple injured on Thursday evening,
.hen a St. Catharine street car
qrashed into a crowded terminal
car on the Boa de L'Isle line at
the corner of St. Catharine street

man of the St. Catharine street
ear, Eizear Langlois, was badly
cut about the head and arms, the
front of his ear being smashed in
when it struck the rear of the ter-
minal ear. The rear platform of
the terminal car. where Mr. Stuart
bad been standing, was badly dam-
aged. Langlois stated that the ac-
cident was due to the failure of the
air brakes on his car, to work.
There is a steep grade on St. Cath-
arine street by '"'La Salle avenue,
and owing to the air brakes not
working he was unable to check his
car when he saw the terminal car

U. S. Government Declined Au
stralia's Proposed Arrangement.
A despatch from Melbourne, Au-
stralia, says: The 'United States

Resolution Was Moved by Mr Lloyd-
G-eorge and Carried
A despatch from London- says:
A resolution to pay members of the
House of Commons $2,000 annual-
ly for their services was carried by
a vote of 256 to 159. The resolution
Was moved by Mr. Lloycl-George in
the House of Commons on Thurs-
day, T -he Chancellor of the Exche-
quer said that Great Britain was
the fuly country in the world that
did not pay members for their work
in Parliament, which now -a -days
s sn strenuous that the members
had little time to attend. to any-
,
e •Uniclui.s s opnosecl the p
on the ground that it,
would be a violation of the princi-
ple of grantuitous publie service,
as well as improper for members to
vote themselves salaries. Arthur
Hamilton Lee, Unionist member
for the Fareham division of Hants
who moved the official Unionist
amendment against salaries, argued
that the effect of the Chancelloe's
bill would be to keep out the best
-types and fill Parliament with pro-
fessional politicians. Mr. James
Ramsay MaeDonald, Labor leader,
denied that the measure would
use corruption, and said ,that it
would tend to hep the tide of

was duo to the fact that they had

the river from that point. The en-
tire fifty-seven were taken into cus-

ed that the company should have

ficulty. The trouble :darted when
tho vessel arrived at Rimouski on
Friday morning and the stewards
refused to assist in putting the mail
ashore. This bas been a grievance
for some time, and was the cause
of some little trouble last year, but
ince the spring, when the Allan

except that for the Maritime Prov-

amount handled at Rimouski has
been so small as not to cause

Judge Smeltzer on Tuesday sen-
tenced Mrs. Ella Reese to the
etreet gang and ordered that; city
officials provide her with the
bloomers. Street Commissioner
Glynn refused to have a, woman in
the chain gang. Mrs. Reese did
not go to work breaking rock or
sweeping the streets on Wecinrea-
clay because the bloomers had not
been provided, and the officials say
they willnot allow the woman to
ca,rry out the sentence imposed up-
on her.

car service had to be completely
osed down. Thirty thousand
workers met on. Glasgow Green,
and the strike leadere threatened
dra.stie measures if the non-union
men continued to take the places of
strikers. Souffles with the police
led to wild scenes of disorder, in
which there were stone throwing on
the part of the workmen and bat-
on charges by the police. Much
damage VMS done to street cars by
the strikers before the service was
suspended. Cars were pulled off
the tracks, and their trolley poles
removed, windows were smashed
and timbers were laid on the rails
or strikers sat, on we tracks in a
body in order to impede the pro-
gress of the cars. Many persons
were injured.
