EFFECT ON 'INDUSTRIAL Srrf ATION
,,,
Government Decides .on Policy.0f Non-Interference—Damage
Done at Liverpool Has obering Effect on Public.
A despatch from London says:—
The comparative failure of the police
strike is exercising a salutary influ-
ence on the general labor situation.
There is now evidence that the strike
was promoted in coimuncetion with the
r'evol'utionary element among the
trade unions to create the widespread
disorder and anarchy at which the ex-
tremists are aiming 11 police control
were generally withdrawn they looked
to having a free hand, The damage
done in Liverpool has shown the pub-
lio what they may expect if revolu-
tionary forces should get headway,
and this has had a sobering effect.
The stoppage of work on the South
London tube, which is only partial, has
been repudiated by the ether London
tube employes, and the railwaymen's
executive committee refused to sanc-
tion ether that or the engine driver's
strike on the South-western Railwey.
The working does has been the chief
sufferers by these strikes, and the
workmeir feel bitterly towards the
instigators of them. J..'Thomas, M,
P., secretary of the Railwaymen's
Union, condemns the striates in the
strongest terms. Meantime the
strikers are taking to heart the casti-
gation inflicted upon them by Lord
Askwith, who had for years acted
as strike conciliator or the Board
of Trade, for Lloyd George's personal
interference in strike troubles had.
always resulted in excessive demands
being accepted, thus offering induce-
ment to others to strike.
The Government apparently has
decided to refrain from interference
except where public order is involved.
Thus the Yorkshire colliers, who are
still out, expecting Government ap-
proaches, are being left severely alone,
and, it is declared, they are 'eeling
pretty mad with their lea'lere. The
Manchester policemen sent by their
colleagues to Liverpool to study the
police situation, reported that "the
Liverpool policemen would do any-
thing to get back their jobs," But the
Government has declared finally that
no police striker well be taken back
under any Circumstances.

MANITOBA WLL HARVEST
45,000,000 BUSHEL; WHEAT,
AT
A deapatclr from ltinnipeg say,:--)
iijauitoba will harvest approximately'
45,000,000 l,;tishels of wheat this year,
according to an estimate given out by
Hon, Winkler, 'Provincial Minister of
Agriculture. He predicts the average
yield will be fifteen bushels to the•
acre. The wheat wreage of the prov-
ince is said to be nearly 3,000,000
acres, .-
Estimating the price of wheat at
$ 2,25 per hushed, Manitoba's wheat
crop thus will be worth $101,,260,000,
as compared with $112,710,000 last
year, when the yield was 51,000,000
bushels and the price $2.21 per bushel.
Red rust is reported in a number
of Manitoba districts.

THE BALANCE.
The two great forces in this country are the farmer and the hometown merchant. It is THEY who pre-
serve the BALANCE. And the balancing polos are HOME TRADE and CO -OPERATION. Their PERFORMAN-
CES determine our prosperity. If out fide influences aro allowed to creep in, the balance is destroyed, Home
Trade and ('o•operation are the dividing fectors. With these we can "deliver the goods."
