He arrived at his figures by a consideration of trade unionists now icUe. He ,says 25,000 Christmas. There idle Gh willbe by age in Winnipeg over thirteen thousand trade unionistai. Over fifty per cent. of these are idle. These are mainly men skilled' in the building trades. These ]nen have helpers amounting to at least a number equal with their own. That makes nearly fourteen thousand. He estimates that, conservatively spealdng, there are three thousand five hundred other idled nlen in the city --clerks, office men, railroad construction men and laborers. Several Western cities are feed- ing their unemployed under muni- cipal organization, notable among these being Vancouver and Bran- don. The towns in Northern Sas- katchewan and Alberta have passed the crisis by reason of the fact that many men have gone from them to the lumber camps of the -country. RIN D T. S CAN' EN TER CAN AD A.

C., says: Chief Justice Hunter has given a ,sweeping decision condemn- ing as illegal all the Federalorders- in-Council which have hitherto kept Hindus out of British Colum- bia. The only grounds on which a Hindu may now be excluded are those of idiocy, disease, crime or mendicancy, merely grounds which apply against British -born citizens entering Canadian Eastern ports. For instance, there is now nothing to prevent entire ship loads of Hin- dus entering British Columbia, and judging from the peo'`sistenoe with which they have for three years been pressing the question of their entry these shiploads may not be slow in taking advantage of the chance to, come. chiefly to the Balkan war, which has caused •any apparent slackening of such investment. "The .splendid crops in the West and the large constructive pro- gramme earned on .by big enter- prises, has caused money to circu- late which might otherwise have been lacking, and the' 'Western farmers, who contribute so. much to Canada's progress, are, therefore, looking forward to next year with bright hopes. 'Manufacturing con- ditions in eastern Canada are also satisfactory, and a considerable number of American manufacturers are realizing that it pays them to have branch Canadian factories and to employ Canadian labor. This is a movement which we heartily wel- come, and which I am sure will Prove a goo lnves'm Americans concerned.

The poorest laborer coming into a new country, such as Canada, is the incarnation of capital, for he brings with him the capacity to work and to trans- form 'seine undeveloped natural re- source into a thing that can be used, and thus by his labor he cre- ates wealth. "Canada, therefore.. must wel- come the immigrant for many years to come, and must continue to pro- vide increased facilities of trans- portation, colonization and hous- ing. To provide suck facilities the ' lirapean capitalist and the inves- tor will,' in my opinion, continue to furnish the money, for, owing to the propaganda carried on' by the Dominion and the Provincial Gov- ernments and industrial bodies, for labor and for the profitable invest- ment of capital, the opportunities in Canada are thoroughly realized across the water, and it is only the temporary financial stringency, due FRENCH AVIATORS BURNED.

Owing to Frequency of Murders and Stabbings at Ceremonies. Eleven Hits Out of Fourteen Shots at Altitude of 600 Feet. A. despatch from London says: The new automatic machine gun for air craft, the invention of Colonel' Lewis, a retired United States army officer, was given exhaustive tests on Thursday at Bisley in the presence of a distinguished gather- ing of British army officers and for- eign military attaches, The new gun resembles a large rifle in ap- pearance, but it, has an outer packet covering the barrel. It weighs only twenty-seven pounds. The action is totally automatic and the gun is capable of firing eight hundred rounds a minute. With the gun mounted on a Grahame White aeroplane, Lieutenant Stel- lingwelf of the Belgian army scored eleven hits in fourteen shots, from an altitude of 600 feet, en a target of white sheets twenty feet square. Those present were greatly ion-, pressed with the demonstration. A , despatch. from Epernay, Franca, 'says; Two military avia- tors were burned to death near this place • on Wednesday, when the aeroplane in which they were flying dashed into a tree and burst into flames. The men were burned be- yoncl recognition. The aeroplane met with the mishap when the avia- tors tried to make a landing about nine miles from this town. Before the few persons who saw the acci- dent arrived on the scene the men were dead. Nothing was found to indicate who they were, but but- tons on the charred remnants of their clothes show that they be- longed to the military aviation corps. , AS`I'ONISDING STATISTICS.
