Job Shops and Includes Printers, Pressmen and Bookbinders—Increase i ' ' in 'Wages Also Demanded. A despatch from Toronto says;-- incur by a strike, and later the union Rejecting: a Anal offer from employing Jcyled a 10 per cent, weekly wage as- sessment on its members, The To- ronto printers will likely receive $17 a week strike allowance for single men and $22 a week for married men, which is whet is now being paid to the Hamilton strikers, According to union officials, there the 102 members in the Toronto Ty- pothetae, President Andrew Gerrard of the printers' union, claimed that some of these.concerns had agreed to, give the 44 -hour week with present wages, pending a settlement, and in these shops men would be permitted to work. Among the latter is the Wilson Pub- tracted affair.

IN Racial Fight Between Whites and Negroes Results in $1,500,000 Loss. A despatcli from Tulsa, Okla,, says;: --Martial law prevailed in bul- let -swept Tulsa Wednesday afternoon, with order restored under the grim threat of four companies of war - manned State troops. Twenty hours of desperate race rioting had destroy- ed ower a million dollars' worth of property and razed the entire negro section. The eity, blood -drenched and black- ened by incendiary fires, was begin- ning to care for its dead, According to the latest authentic report, nine whites and twenty-one negroes are known to have been killed during the race clash. An estimate places property damage at $1,500,000. All this, according to Gen. C. P. Bar- rett, commanding the State troops,. called bere to maintain martial law, was incited by "an impudent negro, a hysterical girl and a yellow journal reporter." Representative citizens of Tulsa inet on Thursday and condemned the city and county law enforcement officials, holding then responsible for the dis- astrous outbreak. In addressing this meeting Gen. Barrett stated that, while he was ordering the withdrawal of the National Guard from Tulsa, there was no intention to remove the martial law edict until such time as it wee shown the city could care for itself. A committee; in which Mayor T. D. Evans was denied a place, was appointed to care for the helpless ne- groes, estimated to number more than 3.000, and to expedite the work of re- building the burned negro quarter. "Most of this damage was done by white criminals, who should have been shot and killed," E. J, Martin, former Mayor, said, after he was selected Chairman of the Emergency Commit- tee. Says Business Depression of 1921 Has Passed A despatch from New York says:— The business depression of 1921 has definitely passed and the financial con- dition of the UnitedStates is such now that it should, inspire only optim- ism, W. P. G. Harding, Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, declared in an address before the annual meet- ing of the National Automobile Cham- ber of. Commerce... "The public has a lot of buying power left. We want to get the people ;out of -the idea that prices are .going lower and lower," he asserted. The Chinese usulally open a comer cation with "How old are you?" in at@ad of "How do you do?" ' University Standards. requirements in severe! Faculties of the Provincial University have recently been raised and an- nouncement is made that, in some eases, a still further increase will soon occur. Intelligently considered, this action is seen to be unquestionably in the best' interests of the parents of the youth of Ontario. To study for an additional year in the local collegiate inetitute or high rehool before beginning a university course is not a hardship to any boy or girl, Quite the contrary. It means an- other year at home under parental care and influence; it means also a saving in money. Success in a university oourse depends very largely upon two condi- tions, viz., a good educational founda- tion which enables one to grasp read- ily what is taught and a :maturity and stability of character which prompts one to study dilligently even when away from parental oversight. The attainment of both these necessary qualifications is' made easier by more rigid university entrance require- ments. In raising its standard the Univer- sity of Toronto is acting solely in the interests of prospective students and their parents, is carrying out its well known democratic policy, and is aug- menting its' right to its position as "the poor man's college."

This does not include the use of the house. The place is planted entirely bo trees and small fruits. Calgary, Alta.—It is estimated that one thousand silos will be built irr the three prairie provinces of Canada dur- ing this year. It is reported that one firm in the States,, whichhas made a specialty of erecting silos, have se- cured orders for two hundred of these structures to be erected in Manitoba alone. Saskatchewan farmers will build several this season, while in the Prisoners of War. Probably the first feeling most of vs have in reading of the beginning of the trial of Germans for maltreat- ing war prisoners is one of regret that the dragnet could not have brought in some of the more consider- able offenders instead of such ` small fry as non-commissioned officers. One of the chief industries in Ger- many of late has been the production of alibis. The men who did the things that outraged the civilized conscience I in the war are now anxious to keep mum and lie hid. They are eager to let the dead past lie buried. When they perpetrated the cruelties upon their prisoners thew laughed at any threat of punishment in days to cone. Verily, .the tribunal that now sits upon their deeds has taken a long time to as- semble. It is true that time has cooled passion and made a truer perspective possible. It is also true that the per- iod that has elapsed has enabled many culprits to evade a proper penalty. It will be no great satisfaction to any ane to have a few underlings put in jail, while the men higher- up are at large and at leisure to compile their apologetic memoirs. The prospect is that whatever punishment is meted out will go no further than to settle a few inconspicuousgrudges; it will not satisfy the long and heavy -laden account of all humanity against Ger- man militarism.
