Supply Endangered. Before the outbreak of the war zinc sold at about eight cents per pound. Since that time the price has risen steadily until .now it is forty cents and grave fears were that enter- tained .t a the h supply pp Y int t g off,' as at present the sources''be cut of sup- ply lie outside of Canada. It was therefore necessary that there should be a Canadian supply, but Canadian producers were uhwilling to go to the large expense of installing refineries unless insured against the fall ofzinc prices, which is inevitable after the close of the war. A. committee of the Government, under the chairmanship •of.Hon. W. T. White, has been work- ing on the subject and has decided to offer a limited bounty as follows: Bounties on a. sliding scale not ex- ceeding two cents per pound will be granted upon production in Canada from Canadian ores .of .zinc contain- ing not more than 2 per cent. im- purities, when the standard price of zinc in London, England, falls below 233 per ton of 2,000 pounds, pro- vided that bounties shall not be pay- able on zinc produced before the ex- piration of the war or after the 31st day of July, 1917, or on zinc con- tracted for the Shell Committee at a price of 8 cents or over per pound. Total amount ot bounty to be paid not to exceed $400,000. HON. T. W. CRO'THERS. Sketch by McConnell'.

AUtn1Unique Situation. The situation in Canada in these matter's is the more remarkable and the more satisfactory when it is real- ized that in countries where, as in Great Britain and Germany for in- stance, war conditions are more acute than in Canada; disputes of the grav- est nature have from time to time flamed up. The United States,' too, although free: from the evil of actual war, has been profoundly affected by the situation in Europe.e. Press re- ports do not indicate that the stren- uous times through which we are passing have materially eased the tension between capital and labor, and the past few months have seen many dangerous and difficult strikes; with violent disturbances in not a few cases. Canada seems in fact fortun- ately unique in its comparative free- dom from strikes. were presented to the Park's Coin-, mission by Mr. E.

I look for conscrip- tion if the war lasts till Christmas. I have changed my view's regarding the war since coming over. If we are going to win we must bend .eves}' energy to the work, throwing every- thing into the scale, and not quib- bling over little matters, as has been (lone heretofore. A couple of weeks ago we had a very unusual trip to a foreign port with three special envoys. we were met, after a hurried passage, by a Royal yacht which relieved us of our passengers. The cranie beauty of the meeting place greatly appealed to me. '1'he snow capped mountains and rocky promontaries with the c;ear still water of the Buy made a Pic- ture not soon to be forgotten. Every- thing bad an oddly foreign look, not like England, which seems very biome like to me. Coming back we ran in- to tog as we approached our Nonce port and as we were slowing down, a rocky island slid into the range of vision dead ahead. How we shar- ed oil and missed it is something I cannot understand.

The officials of the Labor Depart- ment bear cordial witness to the gen- erous and energetic co-operation of officials of labor unions in preventing and settling labour troubles. With- out departing from the principles of trades unionism they have given an excellent support to the Labor De- partment in preventing industrial dis- ruption during the war. The returns also show that besides reservists of different countries, the trades unions hove furnished thousands of enlisted men, and in every case the man who has gone on active service has been exempted from penalties in the way of dues or insurance. LIMITED BOUNTY IS CANADIAN PENSION RATES THE HIGHEST Generous Treatment Assured Our Re- turning Soldiers. Some critics of the Government have been complaining that the rates of pay and the pensions for Canadian soldiers are not higher. To these critics it may be pointed out that the rates granted to Canadian soldiers are higher than those of any other country except Australia, and equal to those of that country. For a mar- ried soldier and his wife the total monthly rate for a Canadian private is $50; in Australia, $52.50. For the unmarried private or the private without dependents the Australian rates are a little more generous, but with this exception the Canadian rates compare very favorably with them. Rates of pay for the rank and file, of the Britishish Army are only theCanadian, -that about one-half of while in European armies where there is compulsory service the rates are but a mere pittance. Pensions the Highest. The pension rates paid by Canada are easily the highest in. the world. They are higher than the Australian and a third and more higher than the English rate, and higher also than those paid in the United States army. In addition it is pointed out that the pension does not represent all, that will be done for the men. The pen- sion is merely a minimum allowance that will prevent a man from experi- encing hardship. The Government, n however, r provides co v alescent ow invalided or incap- acitated or if the L va d - P acitated soldier goes to his own home it provides an attendant to wheel him about or take care of him. After the war. it is expected that in various ways assistance will be given to in- capacitated men, according to their need over and above the pension. PUT ON REFINED ZINC Government Takes Steps to Misuse Supply in Canada. An important step has been taken by the Government which will give an impetus to the refinement of zinc in Canada and serve the purpose of ensuring a supply to the Canadian. Shell Committee for the manufacture of shells. The. Government has de- cided to grant a limited bounty not exceeding two cents per pound and not payable until the end of the 'war. The total amount of the bounty will not exceed four hundred thousand dollars. It has been the policy of the Bor- den Government 'to• abolish the 3.5 Cents will pay a sub to The News- Record to end of 1915, NO OCCASION. FOR DRASTIC ACTION Increase in Prices Does Not Justify Government Control. While information collected shows that prices are still slowly advancing, there has been no violent upward movement and no occasion for any drastic action on the part of the authorities to control prices. It is interesting to note in this connection that the Australian Commonwealth, as well as most of the states of the Commonwealth, following different lines, took steps immediately on the outbreak of war for the actual con- trol of prices, and many laws were passed on the subject.- Much con- fusion resulted without improving the situation, and after efforts for several months in the way of price fixation, such attempts were .aban- doned asimpracticable or fruitless; the latest Australian advices indicate that priceconditions there were normal, Seven Ages of Man, As disclosed by his interest taken in the average newspaper: First age—Comic section.
