THE DOCTORS
Discuss the Question of Fall and
-Other Examinations,
Dr, Young on Top—The New Legis-
lative Committee.
40140••••••.••••••••
Toroato, jute, 11.—Members of the On-
tario Medical Council Saturday placed
themselves on record AS being in favor
of the abolition of All medical examine -
tions, except the finals,' which are held
in the fall each year, As Dr, Hoar's no-
tice of a motion to abolish all fall exam-
inations was ruled out of order nu the
ground that a by-law was ueeessarea
Dr, Cormack moved a reeolutioti foe an
expression of opinion, which was carried.
'The students thus will have it full yearn
notice, and unless next year's council de-
cides to hold the supplementary and
final examinations in the fall, as at pres-
ent, no "sups!' will be held.
When the question was broached Dr.
Spankie said the final examinations
should be behl, but tile supplementary
examinations might well be abolished.
Dr. Cormaek agreed, and thought the
finals should be held in October or No-
vember. Dr. Starr said it would be bet-
ter to send tbe recommendation on to
the next council, so Hutt the students
would have notice. It would be unfair,
he said, to make stuelenta wait a year.
Ile favoind the British system of hold-
ing examinations every time months.
Dr. Haag discovered that it was neces-
sary to pass a by-law to change the
dates of examinations and asked for a
ruling. Dr. Cormaek elairaed that tho
notice of 'motion given by Dr. Hone:made
the discussion in order,
Dr. Love, the president, ruled thaathe
notice of inotion should have stated
that it by.law was to be introdeced,
and that the entire discussion was out
of order,
Dr. Bascom took exception to the rul-
ing, which was sustained by a large ma-
jority.
In order to get an expression Of opin-
ion, Dr. Cormack moved that all fall
examinations, except the fiats, be dis-
continued. The motion was carried by
a vote of 13 to 7, and the opinion of
the council therefore is that alle fall
supplementary examinations will be dis-
continued.
Dr: W. A. 'Young's letter to :the coun-
cil was again disenssed, Dr. Bray, tbe
regnant., asked if he would have to ae-
khowledge the letter. Dr. Moorehouse
thought that --the laying of the letter
on the table finished the whole thine..
Dr. Hart said the intention was Co
throw the books open for the inspection
of any maim' man,
"Dr. Young has tee, whichever -way we
aet," said Dr. McCallum, "simply be-
cause, we lost our tempers and made a
greet tactical error. If Dr. Youngtwants
that information, he should be able to
get it." Dr. lartraon expressed the same
opinion arid said any doctor should have
access to the books if he went to the
college and asked. It. therefore, was de-
eided ot allow Dr. Young to have ac-
cess to the treasurer's books.
Doetors Merritt, Vardon, King, Hardy
and Griffin werenominated to act as
the Legislative Conunittee for the year.
"That eommittee is -too large," said
Dr. Hart. "A coannitee of three, is suf.
-fieient. especially when it is -it paid com-
mittee." rfe moved that Doetors Hardy,
Varann and Merritt be the committee.
"We should be well rapresentea, irre-
spective of expense." said Dr. Vardon.

Toronto, July 11,—Bive flights were
made by the airmen at the Aviation

No contests between the various
aviators, and only exhibition flighte
were made. Ralph Johnstone, of
Kansas City, in the Wright biplane No.
2, was to have been the Slat to fly, He
had great difficulty in starting, however.
Tbe big machine seemed to move un-
steadily on the sIngie rail from which it
rises. Two attempts were nutde and
each time the small wheel beneath the
plane left the track before sufficient mo-
mentum for an ascent had been pined.
The runway was then taken up and laid
itt another place. The, failure of the
machine to rise at the outset was said
to have been due to the Menet:fence of
some of the starters.

Bev, Mr. Coburn On Schools and
Mixed Marriages.
Toronto-, Ally 11. ---The school clues -
Hot in the comities of Russell, Prescott,
aud Glengarry and the attacks of the
Church of Itome on mixed marriages,
were the two main subjeeta dealt with
at the Ortingemen's service in Caskets
Church yesterday afternoon.
Rev, John Coburn, of Parliament
Street MethodIst Church, Grand Chap-
lain of the Grand Orange Lodge of
Ontario West, conducted tatt services.
The words of the text were "Prove
all things: hold rest that elation 'is
gooa." Proceeding, the preacher araued
that urangemen souglit for the truth
always, And prized it beyond. measuie.
In the current events of the day Can -
adieus could uot fail to see the need for
such an organization as that of the
Orange Order.' An inquiry, said the
.proaeter, het beet male Mb eeneaL
conditions in the three eaetern counties
of Russell, Prescott and Glengarry.
Conditions were tueh as- to demand an
immediate remedy. The present Govern-
ment inherited these oonditions from
their predeeeezors. If, however, no re-
medy was found then Orangemen inust
hold the, present Government equally
guilty with its predeeessora.
What Orangemen and every patri-
otic Canadian desired was a system
of nationally lion -sectarian schools
where the children of Protestant,
Roman Catholics, people of all creeds
Wad races slioald have their eltildven
taught side by side from the same
text -books. In the meantime, and
until that longed -fur day arrived, it
was necessary to ettrefally watch
sehool conditions' lit the counties
named.
Rev. Mr. &bun 'then eirtmeedeil
to give instances Where it is alleged
that in some, etliool sections of the
counties needed Roman Catholic pray -
era aud the Remhat Catholic sate-
ehism are tan% ht Jiablie schools
during school hours, that a etoo has
been placed over some Faille selictole,
that confession is heard by priests in
such public schools, and he added,
tkat the general beating was defective,
that the French language was predom-
inant, and that the English-speaking
people, Ronnie Catholic and Protestant
alike, wet placed at a very great dis-
advantage in all school matters.
Turning to the mixed marine ques-
tion Mr. Coburn said in part that while
he was not himself in favor of such
marriages, yet they were perfectly
legal, and it shoinid be mane a cant
beat offence if lb was net se already
for any clergyman or priest to de-
clare. that parties coetraeting such Mar-
riages, were guilty of adultery. Su& a
charge was eritel beyond manure and
especially cruel when Wade from the
altar rails of it Church. These attacks
must cease, declared Mr. Coburn, and
the remark was loudly applauded.

Negotiations Are Off and Men Will
Now Vote on Strike.
Statement Made by the Men as to
Why Increase Is Needed.
Montreal,.July 10.—A strike vote be
to be taken thee week of the 4,500
conductors and traiumen in the em-
ploy of the Grand Trunk Railway in
Canada and the United Statek, and of
the 350 Inert employed in the same
capaeity on the Central Vermont Rail-
way, This ie the result of the nego-
tiations, which, for the time being at
lent, came to an end tate last night
between the committee aud President
trays.
las Grand Trunk offered to give the
men, the rates recommended inthe
majority report of the Boaret ut Con-
ciliation, whieh Was signed by the
chairman and the repreeentative of
the men, the company's representa-
tive dissenting,. ane committee, bow, -
over refused to accept the tate e agreed
to by the merits representative and
also the suggestion by President Hays
that, tlte wage question be referred to a
committee of three practical railway
men for arbitration, the finding to be
binding on both parties.
Melte the committee had full power
to call it strike, it was telt that in
view of the Atter suggestion it wouid
bit fultassable to mania -consult the men
as tar whether they were willing to
accept arbitration with a binding
:ward, or would go out at once for
tne eastern standard' scale. This
settle,. the repreeentatives of the men
eay, has been adopted by the 0.P.R.,
there only remaining a few details in
connection with the rules to be clear-
ed up to make the settlement coni.
PetPlailchiefiGrand Trunk anc trainmen have handed out a
d Canadian
.statement settxng forth their reasons
for refusing to accept the award oe
the Conciliation Board. After setting
forth that on lines west of Chicago
and the Mississippi River uniform
wage rates obtain much higher than
on the railroads east of Chicago, the
statement goep on to detail the riske
that railwaymen have to take and the
exactions of,ethe business.
It is pointed out that the tonnage
handled by. railroad men in freight
trains has increased materially, while
mileage .made by those men has de-
creased, piece workers paid on a
mileage basis ahave heretofore in
many cases suffered a wage reduc-
tion, because they have been able to
earn 'very much more for their em-
ployers and not as much for them-
selves. This sounds strange, but
fewer slow freights even with over-
time produce more for the companies
than many last freights' with testa
tonnage and :more emplboes.
The Inter -State Commerce donnnistion
for the tinted States shows in the fol-
lowing figures the tonnage has wetted
up Mid mileage down. The number of
tons carried by the railroads for each
trainman employed in 1813, was 5,595
tons, while itt 11108it was 7,358 tons,
an increase of 2,275 tons per man. The
average number of tons in a train ie
1893 was 184, while in 1908 it was 352,
an increase of lo2 tons per man. The
umber of freigbt cars handled par
trainman employed in 1803 was eight;
in' 1008 it was ten, an inerease of two
cars per inan. This increase in weight
of trains, number of tons 1tate.c.1 and
number of ears per man employed, has
been accompanied by -a decrease in the
number of train miles run for each ti ain-
man employed, and consequeutly a re-
duction in tint earnings of the trahunce,
The number .of train Miles for each
employee in 1903 was 5,764, while in
1908 it Was 5,520, a deereaS? or 344 train
miles run for each trainman employed.
This indicates that by reason of heavier
and longer trains the task of gettiug
the trains over the road has become
more burdensome, mid the men are not
able to run its many miles in the same
length of tinte as formerly. This
means, bit means anything, that While
responsibility has been increased, wages
really helm been reduced.
In the same connection the latest re-
port of the Inter -State Commeree Com.
mission in the United States shows that
railway net income for 1909, Was groater
than for 1008. Operating net revenuee
for the year ending June 30, 1908, wae
$2.877 per mile, and for the year ending
June 301 1009, they were $3,189. ehowhig
