C.N.R. STATION Strikes Invented Centuries Ago. Industrial Strikes Recorded Early In Christian Era Strikes being uppermost in our thoughts these days, we have gone t� some pains to discover how mo- dern they are; whether they came in with the industrial revolution in the latter part of the Eighteenth Century, relates the Kansas City Star, They didn't. They were in- vented h ancient times, certainly as far back as the Roman Empire 2,000 years ago. Strikes didn't exactly flourish in • Roman times, because slaves were plentiful, and cvhe.n an employer could rent slaves at a , few cents a day he was able to keep" wages down. Any free workman who was dissatisfied with the job could be replaced with little trouble. In the early days of Rome there were some general strikes on the part of the common people, the ple- beians, to force the granting of po- litical rights by the aristocracy. But a few industrial strikes began to trickle into the records early in the Christian era. * * * An Egyptian papyrus contains a record of a sitdown strike in an alabaster quarry in the Second Century A.D. The young man managing the quarry for his father wrote the old gentleman about it. Seems some sections of the quarry were more desirable to work in ` . than others. One gang that was. ordered by the foreman to leave a desirable section for a less desir- able one went on a sitdown strike. The words "sit down" are used in the letter. The foreman reported: "Soine of the men came to me and said: 'We are going out to our old place and sit down until you bring us word'" — presumably of the rescinding of the order. The threat was successful. The men won their point, and were not transferred. * * The shipmasters of vessels in the9 grain trade from the river port of Arles in Southern France notified the official in charge of the export of wheat to Italy that they would strike if their demands were not met. The official thought their de- mands were justified and asked the proper official in Rome to see that the inequities were corrected. What happened isn't recorded, but as there were no complaints of the stopping of the wheat shipments it is our guess that the demands of the shipmasters were met. There are several reports of strikes by the menders of, temple utensils in Jerusalem. As there were few,slaves in Palestine it was not possible to meet the strike threat in the usual way and skilled labor had to. be imported from Alexandria, Egypt. * * * There is a record of another strike, or threatened strike, at Per- gamon, Asia Minor, in the Fifth Century. A builder's crew had tak- en a job at too low a price, or else the men had been offered more on another job — it isn't clear which and so threatened to quit work until the matter was adjusted. Finally there was a sitdownstrike in the Roman Mint in the latter part of the Third Century. The Emperor Aurelian had found evid- ence of graft in the issuing of sub- standard coins and had closed the mint. The workmen then fortified themselves in the building. Troops were sent to get then out and several thousand men were killed in the fighting. * * * We don't know of any particular lessons to be derived from these bits of ancient history. Perhaps they night be taken as confirmato- ry evidence that human nature doesn't change much through the centuries. Men always have been anxious to improve their condition, and collective bargaining has been one of the obvious methods. Inci- dentally, we find that in England strikes were illegal until 1824, and in France until 1864. • FREE AT LAST Seven Americans and two Europeans detained in Yugoslavia for nearly two weeks after their C-47 transport plane was forced down by Yugoslav fighters are pictured at headquarters of the U.S. 88th Division in Gorizia, Italy, following their release.

Canada's Biggest Transport Plane History was made in Canadian civil aviation last week when Can- ada's newest and biggest four-en- gitied, 40 -passenger transport plane which reportedly will fly faster. at high altitudes than any other plane in the world was christened "North Star" at Montreal. The plane will be. able to fly 3,500 miles without stopping and as high as 28,000 feet. Maximum cruising speed is 325 miles per hour, but it usually will be operated at speeds between 240 and 300 miles an hour, depending on the length of the flight. It will be used in trans-Atlantic, international and transcontinental services. In bad weather the "North Star" can be guided right down the run- way by radio. The "North Star's" engines have a take off power of 7,000 horse Power. The comfortable interior of the air liner incorporates the main cabin, a galley, a cabin attendants' station and magazine racks. Dress- ing rooms, lavatory. compartments and resting places for the crew are adjacent to the main cabin. Just No Ships For Passengers Canada - Bound A British Transport Ministry an- nouncement that only 20 per cent of the transatlantic passenger ac- commmodation available in August and September will be reserved for government-sponsored persons is expected • to have little effect on the thousands waiting in Britain for a berth to Canada. There just aren't any ships. Shipping officials see small like- lihood of anything like normal traf- fic 'being resumed between the United • Kingdon and North Am- erica until next March or April. Some will be lucky enough to get crossings on the Queen. Eliza- beth after her initial run in Octo- ber. Others may be accommodated on the Canadian Pacific Steam- ships' new Empress of Canada — the former Duchess of Richmond— which may make two trips before the year-end. The rest will have to. wait until other liners become available next spring. Company "officials said they know of no ships which will be re- leased in the immediate future from the movement of troops and depen- dents. This traffic to Canada is expected to be pretty well com- pleted in November. Trip To Britain For Champion Tractor Plowmen The President of the Ontario Plowmen's Association, Mr. Gor- don McGavin, of Sca£orth, an- nouncesthat free trips to Britain for. champion tractor plowmen will be an outstanding feature of, the International Plowing Match to be held at Port Albert Airport, near Goderieh, Ontario, on October 15, 16, 17 and 18. Elimination contests in preparation for this great event will be held at some seventy branch plowing matches conducted annu- ally throughout the Province. The grand prizes will be trips to Great Britain for First and Second prize winners, accompanied by a coact, -manager. To be known as the "Esso Open Tractor Class". SPOTS OF SPORTS By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Six Bit. Critic") •+ As a not -too -serious student of the sport of baseball it has long seemed to us, as it has to many others, that there should be an entirely different system for rat- ing the efforts of the pitchers. In batting, or in fielding, a player is pretty much on his own; and it is just about as easy—or hard—for a man to hit .350 or field .990 on a front -running team as it is on a tail ender. But a pitcher's success, or lack of it, depends so much on his team-mates that to rate a heaver who pitches 18 winning games for, say, The Toronto Maple Leafs as less efficient than one who hurls 20 winners for, say, The Montreal Royals, just doesn't seem to add up to common sense.' Yet that's the way it works out. * * * An illustration of the point we are trying to make—and whoever it was hollered 'six to five he don't make it' is out of order—is the case of Phil Marchildon, an On- tario lad condemned to do his pitching on behalf of the Philadel- phia Athletics. At the: present time of writing Mr. Marchildon had just turned in his eleventh victory for the A's, and he will finish up the season with a mark of, possibly, fourteen or fifteen wins. * * * `m'hicll will put him fairly far down in the pitchers' standings, and make him appear decidedly un- spectacular as compared with hot- shots such as Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser, Dave Ferris and sev- eral others. But while we're not going away out on a limb and claiming that Mr. Marchildon is in a class with the three mentioned, still, if you'll figure out what he has accomplished in the tight of what he has had to work with, we think you'll agree he rates a whole lot higher than the cold statistics will tend to show. * * * For Marchildon's eleventh vic- tory brought the Athletics' total of wins for the season t1p to a cool forty—sante being a mere forty- seven fewer than the league -lead- ing Boston Red Sox had on the credit side of the ledger at that point. And it wouldn't take a very hefty knowledge of higher mathe- matics to argue that if Phil had been getting the same sort of sup- port, offensively and defensively, as the Boston beavers are favored with, his wins night very well have run close to the two -dozen mark. Which would put hint right up among the picture -cards. * * * But according to the hallowed laws of baseball, Marchildon is the property of the Athletics — which means the property of Cornelius MacGillicuddy, a gentleman with- in reaching distance of his first century, who remembers when eggs were a diene a dozen and butter three pounds for a quarter and who, from tite way it is rumored lie rewards his hired. help, thinks that those are still the current prices for such groceries Mr MacUillicuddy owns the Athletics - has managed them since the year 1001—and has all the money he ever expects to need. His team has been down around the cellar so long that it has become like home to him; and, like many elderly people, he hates to move. * * * So he's quite content to sit right where he is, throwing out annual promises that he's building for the future and, in all probability, quietly chuckling to himself oven the suckers who come out to watch his teams in such paying numbers. All of which may be very much U.K, for Mr. MacCillicuddy, but mighty hard — in our opinion at least — on players who are getting no younger fast, and who can see no possible chance of properly ex- hibiting the talents they possess. * * * For if Marchildon — to get back to him again — were to just plain refuse to play ball for the Athletics any longer, those same sacred laws of baseball would offer him just about two options. He could volun- tarily retire, to sit and fish till all the sap had departed from his pitching arta; or Mr. MacGilli- cuddy, in the greatness of his heart, might trade hint to some outfit like the St. Louis Browns or Washing- ton Senators, where he would find conditions — and opportunities — much the same or even more so. And yet some folks claim that ball- players are a trifle screwey when they talk of having aUnion that really operates. * * * Yet it may be — for all we know to the contrary — that Marchildon is quite satisfied with the spot that he's in,* and 'that we are getting ourself alt hot and bothered to no good purpose whatever. For in sport, as in a lot of other things, a great deal depends on your point of viesy. As for instance that of a youthful friend of ours who, this past summer, has been spending much of his vacation -tune search- ing for lost balls on a nearby golf course and — quite incidentally— re-selling them to golfers in search of a bargain Not so long ago a fraily import- ant tournament was held on this course, and we asked our young friend just how—from his sideline view-point—all those top-notchers looked as they passed hint in re- view "Oh, those guys are no good — they keep their shots too straight," he replied. "What I like to watch is a golfer like Mr. Jones — he hooks two or three out of bounds every time he tees off, and I only wish there were a whole lot more like him." * * * So there now, Honourable Dubs, take heart! Worry no longer over those slices, those hooks, those foozled long approach shots! For you, too, have your ardent admir- ers—even if they don't appear un- til you have passed out of sight. Britain To Release 311,300 From Army Approximately 311,300 men and women will be released and dis- charged from the British armed forces in the last quarter of this year, the British Ministry of La- bor and National Service an- nounced. This will make the runnrlative total of releases since June 18, 1945, approximately 4;292,900.
