Mine Workers 'of America have been

could check the momentum of the
walkout despite the temporary res-

Court at Inclianapolis. Deprived of the
directing heads of its leaders, as a
result of injunction, the membership of
the union was prepared to enter the
ljrst full working day since the strike
' order became effective in an effort to
demonstrate its ability to halt the pro-
duction of soft coal throughout the
nation. '
The operators, so far as iivailable
reports show, have not yet made plans
to combat the strike, notwithstanding

Reports from various , railroad

This was the•statenient of Sir George

Sir George stated that the coal out-
look, which is made serious by the
present tie-up in the United States
mines, was receiving serious consid-
eration from the Government.
"We have been as•sured," he said
"that Canada will be treated the same
as in other years in regard to supply-

coal available there will be no dis-

Majority to Go to France and
Italy, Consent of Allies.
A despatch from Paris says: -The
Germans must make reparation for
the destruction of the Scapa Flow
fleet, but this must be paid in other
naval material or in property of the
German Government which otherwise
would not be subject to reparations:
This is the decision of the Supreme
Council after hearing reports, on the
matter, these reports holding Germany
responsible for the sinking.
In• this connection it is learned
that the United States and Great Bri-
tain are about to consent that the re-
gaining German warships shall be
divided instead of being destroyed, the
majority going to France and Italy.
This represents a victory for the
French.
British Manufacturers Plan
•
-To increase Production
dspatch from London says: -The
Midland manufacturers, in conference,
are taking great interest in the prob-
lem of how'best to increase production.
One scheme submitted involves notify-
ing employes of the decrease in out-
put. If no improvement is noted after
ten days the Board of Trade might be
called upon to make an investigation.
If in this event the employers are
found responsible, it is suggested that
a fine of £50 sterling be enforced. If,
on the other hand, the decrease in out-
put is clue to slackness on the part of
the employes, it is planned that a fair
percentage, in accordance with the de-
crease, be deducted from their wages.
The scheme also proposes that the
employer reward employes substan-
tially for any suggestion which may
lead to production being increased.

ing handed to him by Sylvia Lillian

ness the Prince of Wales from the

Sugar Shortage May
Become More Acute
A despatch from Ottawa says: -The
sugar shortage in Canada promises to
become more acute, owing to non -ar-
rival of raw sugar, consequent on the
longshoremen's strike at New York.
The Canadian Trade Commission has
taken a firm stand against further ex-
port of sugar, and, also advises that as
a temporary measure, the demand for
sugar for domestic use should be met
by the refiners before the manufactur-
ers of products containing sugar are
supplied.

A despatch from London says: -A

running fortnightly from New York to
Liverpool, which will call at St. John's,
Newfoundland; and Halifax, says a
statement by Sir Edgar Bowring,
High Commissioner for Newfound-
land, who has just returned to London.
He added that Newfoundland was ex-
pecting help from the Imperial Gov-
ernment in the direction of more rapid
and frequent communication with
Britain. Newfoundland was consider-
ing a proposal, recently broached in
Canada, for blocking the Straits of
Belle Isle to make Winter navigation
in the Gulf practicable and improve
the climate of the eastern seaboard of
Canada and Newfoundland.
The corn harvest of 1918 in Britain
was more than 2,000,000 tons larger
than that of 1914, while potatoes also
showed a big increase, in spite of
shortage of labor and fertilizers.
GERMAN MOTION PICTURE FILMS
' OF U-BOAT MURDERS FOUND
Camera Men on Submarine Took Views of Undersea Ves-
sels Shelling British Ships -Were Designed For
Exhibition in Germany.
A despatch from New York says: -
Motion picture films taken from the
archives of Grand Admiral von Tirpitz
in the former I{aiser'•s admiralty, and
.showing allied vessels being torpedoed
by German U-boats during the world
war, have been brought here by J. H.
Macksun, a Knights of 'Columbus sec-
retary. The films, which were design-
ed for exlsibitip by Germany on the
day ,of efts trnunpli, were made by
camera: men on ii submarine which was
commissioned to cruise about the Irish
Coast. and photograph merchant ves-
sels after they had been attacked by
undersea craft: This boat it*ed more
than 40,000 feet of film.
"Tt was largely -through the influ-
ence of the present German Govern-
ment that the films came into my
possession," said Mr. Macksurn, who
had charge of the motion picture work
for the Knights of Columbus in France
and Germany. "During the • revolution
the Admiralty offices were raided by
the snobs and the canisters containing
the celluidid reels became scattered
abouj,At Coblenz I made friends with
a former high ranking army oft:0er
and lie secured the films from Li revo-
lutionary leader whom he knew pososs-
ed ,them."
The pictures depict the U-boats
shelling ' four British vessels while
those on the ships were swimming for
lifeboats and rafts. A torpedo leav-
ing the tube of a submarine and'speod-
ing toward its victims is also shown.
TRADE; :.RESUMED
WITH GERMANY
Britain and France Buying in
Teuton Markets.
A despatch from London says: -e
Within the last few weeks a feeling
has come over Europe that an under-
standing must be reached at once on a
post-war policy regarding trade with
Germany and Russ;,. In fact, there is
almost daily evidence that this under-
standing has been practically reached
already, and it means that Germany
is pack in the old commercial family
again in as full membership as pos-
sible With her limited supplies and
external credit handicaps.
There is no getting away from the
actual facts, no matter how much the
English and French public would like
to avoid buying anything German, and
the facts are that Germany has opti-
cal goods, machines, toys, chinaware
and pianos that. cannot be obtained.
elsewhere. Such good's are finding
their.way out of Germany in large
quartities, although not with the old
"Made in Germany" label.
America, England, France and Italy
during the war Iabelled nearly ever'y-
thing with the name of the country
in which it was made, with the result
that nearly every article now par-
chased shows its nationality,
German manufacturers, meting this,.
have adopted a new .policy, end one
which arouses no animosity. They
simply leave their goods without
marks. France is carrying on a heavy
trade with Germany, and ;in some
cases even buying important commo-
dities from her which she formerly
bought in England. This is due to
the exchange rate, francs being at a
ciiseount in London and at a big prem-
ium in Germany. French manufactur-
ers are able to save from 50 to 75 per
cent. on consigan:ents of goods in
which Germany spc.,ializei.
It is. only recently .that England
would countenance any imports from
Germany wh<tever, but it is now real-
ized that Germany has not the large
quantities of goods stored that. she
was reported to have for the purpose
of flooding foreign markets after the
war. So the policy toward Germany
has taken more definite shape. She,
will have no opportunity for dumping
either in France or England, but the
goods she can advantageously supply
without irksome competition with the
home trade are already being import-
ed. There is constant discussion among
lawmakers, however, assuring the
commercial world that if Germany
begins a trade war by dumping, steps
will be taken to stop it.
As regards Russia, British manu-
facturers are convinced that with that
country's raw materials and their own
manufacturing resources the two'
countries could work together to great
mutual advantage. An economic mis-
sion to Russia has been suggested,
Getting the railways of Russia in
shape again i' the present great prob-
lem, and it is not unlikely that when
a semblance of calm is restored Brie
tish capital will 'take an active hand
in repairing and rebuilding the roads,
This would solve the food problem ie
Russia, ,which is largely one of trans-
portation, and clear the way for build.
ing up a great commercial future
which leading Englishmen predict it
in store for Russia.
CANADIAN EGGS
ON LONDON MARKET
Throngs of Citizens Feast
Eyes on Shipment of
Rare Food.
A despatch from London says: --A
throng of Londoners round the Cana-
dian Government shop in Charing

eye' bacon was the world-renowned
breakfast of the Englishman. That
was before eggs rose to 11 cents apiece
and promptly disappeared from cur-
rency -an economic cataclysm which
cast a gloom on the Englishman's
whole existence, and must be held to
account in some degree for the pre-
vailing unrest. In the announcement,
attached to the astonishing eggs,' that
"Canada .,ill ship six million dozen
eggs to Great Britain this year" the
Londoner, weary of the Food Control-
ler's manna, caught the first glimpse
of the post-war land of promise,
