Of the letinietter of the %nsariam
From Ontario's Capital,
Lo, the poor bank clerk, He has
come to the conclusion that he is not
getting all that he ought to get and
that something must be done. Hence
there has been formed in Toronto an
association of bank clerks, to be the
forerunner of a larger association cov-
ering the whole of the Dominion of
Canada. The salary of the bank
clerk has been the subject of much and
frequent complaint in Toronto. From
time to time men have risen up to say
that by paying small salaries to men
in positions of heavy responsibility
and surrounded by temptation, the
banks in these parts have put a prem•
ium upon defalcation. The charge is
usually made after some bank clerk
yields to the temptation aforesaid
after failing to finance himself as a so-
cial lion on the salary of a messenger
boy.
To mend this situation the clerks are
getting together. They will organize
and will talk business to the bankers
with the strength of the organization
behind them. They say that there is
no use tackling the puzzle in any other
way, that the banks are not run on
sentiment and that only in union is
there etrength. But they want to be
Called a union. One of the principal
grieveances is the long wifeless futut e
that confrbnte them. , Marriage is
barred by the banks unless the would-
be -bride -groom is receiving ti certain
salary, usually $1,000, The clerks say
that this spells bachelor -hood indefln-
itely.

Two wells in the yards of 8, Kent

mysterinu,ly on Sunday. The wells
were sixty feat deep and are on a side

They were dug some years ago. It is
thought the cave-ins may have been
caused by the recent severe frosts.
