Students, of Canadian history have-

thought that many ' present diffi-

/people were prepared to 'face pioneer,
conditions and make ■ i • way for

did in this country. There, is. too
great a tendency to wait for gov-

SERVANT GIRLS’ UNION
Exploitation of servant .girls by
some Winnipeg housewives has* had
its natural result. A group of/' the
girls have formed a union, in , ap
attempt to establish something like
a reasonable standard of pay and
c^iiditions for this type -of employ8-
men-t/-. .'
. A-. minimum wage of -$T2-a-raonth-
.for anything more “ than nurse-maid
work can hardly be •• called unrea
sonable, and the contention that-
something, less than. 16 ■ hours should
be regarded as a fair day’s work is,
to say the least, moderate. .
.Some housewives seem to cling,
-with remarkable persistency to. the'
idea that whatever they pay the
servant girl is/charity. A better
name for it is the ",pne Trader :Horn'
gave it ~ “Black- philanthropy,
madam, plain black philanthropy.!”,
. There is a certain entertainment
value in the prospect that the girls
may picket a residence, in which
the lady] of the house clings to ■ this
form of old-fashioned- thrift. Wo
man’s inhumanity to worpan may, be
given : a new twist.—Winnipeg Tri-

MANITOBA’S SURPLUS'.
, A surplus of $159,435 for.the fiscal
< 19'3’-5»r has-'bee-w-
announced by Hon. E. A. McPher
son, K.C., provincial treasurer. The
Province of Manitoba has for some
' time been operating on a cash basis,-
°and this means that actual cash re
ceipts of' the treasury for the. year
-were $14,383,862, as against expehdi-”
’ tures of $14,224,427. ' ■
* This- computati-orr takes nu account
* of the two and one-half million
spent on relief during the year, al
though it does include carrying
_ charges on all relief borrowings, as-
well as- $39,006 sinking f-und on a
