Is shown to have been an effective means of govern- mental Intervention in serious indus- trial controversies â€" these are ) some of the conclusions in a 400-paKo re- port on "Postponing Strikes" publish- ed here to-day by the Russell Sage Foiiadation. The report Is based on a study, made by Ben. M. Selekman, of "the efforts to prevent strikes in Canada durln gthe last 18 years by means of the Industrial Disputes In- vestigation Act. In a foreword to the report. Miss Mary van Kleeck, director of the In- dustrial Studies Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, says: "We seek not to bring enlightenment to Canadians, but to look across the bor- der toward our neighbors' mines, railroads and factories, and to ask whether tho Act has accomplished its purposes sati|tactoriIy and whether It can wisely be followed In this coun- try. "The continuous and efficient ser- vice of public utility industries, under conditions fair to employees, is essen- tial to the welfare of the general com- munity," Miss van Kleeck said, "but It cannot be secured by the short cut advocated by many influential citi- zens in recent years â€" legislative limi- tations on the right to strike.. "The study of Canada's experience In postponing ,and so averting strikes was undertaken because in tho United States the wage-earner's right to strike in transportation systems, coal mines, public utilities or in any indus- try affecting large communities, is be- ing challenged by a considerable sec- tion of the community and in the ef- fort to prevent such strikes legisla- tures are repeatedly proposing and sometimes enacting laws patterned after the Canadian Industrial Dis- putes Act. These proposals are often based upon a mistaken idea of the actual scope and 'operation of this law." The Canadian Act prohibits declara- tion of a strike or lockout in mines, transportation systems or other pub- lic utility industries until a report on the dispute has been made by a board of conciliation and investigation and Imposes fines for violations. A new board is appointed for each dispute and in each board a representative of the public presides, the other mem- bers being representatives of thhe employers and employees. The report shows that In 536 dis- putes handled under the Canadian Act 490 strikes (91 per cent.) were ended or averted; during the same 18 years, however, there were 426 strikes in which the Act was com- pletely Ignored, and 40 per cent, of the working days lost through all strikes, were lost through disputes In coal mines. On Canadian railroads where con- ditions are fairly well stabilized, the report says, the Industrial Disputes Act has worked well; In coal mines where Instability and chronic irregu- larity of employment prevail, it has failed. Although a coal strike gave rise to the Act, and one of its primary purposes was to prevent the recur- rence of such strikes, the report at- tributes this failure more to difficul- ties Inherent in the coal mining in- dustry than to flaws in tho Disputes Act. Contrasting the situation in the United States with that in Canada, the report says: "Just as the policy of conciliation pursued by the Cana- dian government has won the co- operation of labor in the administra- tion of. the Industrial Disputes Act, so the policy of coercion sometimes pur- â- U3d by government bodies in the United States has Intensified the op- 'posttion of labor to similar laws. The Canadian experience Indicates that governmental bodies can obtain the best results In industrial disputes, kot by threatening arrest, imprison- ment or fines, but by Intervening in a (ympathetic and conciliatory spirit to find those terms upon which agree- ment may be reached." Mr. Selekman, the Russell Sage Foundation's investigator, points out that while the Canadian Industrial Disputes Act was drafted on the prin- ciple of compulsion, it has been ad- ministered largely as a measure to secure voluntary consultation and agreement. . Thus while 472 punish- able v4olations of the law occurred In 13 years, only 16 of these were brought before the courts and none of these at the instigation of the govern- ment. The government's policy has been against resorting to proseeution of violators of the Act, despite the fact that the Act provides a penalty of fines ranging from $100 to flOOO a day for employers and from $10 to $60 a day for employees declaring a strike or lockout la violation of the law. Mr. Selekman found that the Cana- dian boards of conciliation and In- vestigation heard Industrial disputes not as ludges called on to render de- clalona, nor as Invoatlgators to dls- covei* the relevant facts tor the educa- tion •( tbo community, but as peace- makers calM OB to create a friendly and Intomwl atmosphsre which would help to 'brine about anUeabl* sattla- moots. No Aitalts oedb ot tadustrlal Commenting on the apparent ten- dency of the boards of conciliation and Investigation, appointed under the Canadian Act, to ignore the edu- cation of public opinion, the report says: "Canadian officials have frank- ly assumed that the community Is not especially Interested in knowing the truth In an Industrial dispute but In avoiding any Interruption of service that will jeopardize its comfort and routine." -â€"^ Warning Against Fake Stock Selling The moat important method of fraudulent vtock selling Is carried on through medium of the mails. The two chief ways of developing clients by mail are the distribution of market letters and market newspapers. In both casee th» firm from which they originate Is important, the only defl- 1 nite line that can be drawn is tbat of merbership In a reputable stock ex- change, preferably the Toronto Stock Exchange or the Standard Stock Ex- change. The stock being foisted on the publishers' â- clients may be detect- ed almost without fail by two generaK characteristics. It is usually a low- priced stock and the successive issues of either th« market letter or the newspaper will continue to harp on this particular stock. Two other bits of good advice to the prospective Investor are first: "the quality of the stock being sold is very likely to vary Inversely to the sales pressure being applied to such sell- ing;" the second, "Never buy a stock If its purchas-e Is urged by telephone or telegraph, except where the firm is reputable." In the last analysis "Before you Invest, investigate."

New Maps Elarly Days of Fur Trader and Indian Recalled by Maps Recently Issued by Government The early days of the fur traders In Canada are recalled by the publica- tion of two new map sheets ot the Na- tional Topographic series by the Topographical Survey, Department of the Interior, at Ottawa. These are the provisional editions of the Grand Rapids and The Pas sheets, adjoining each other and showing that portion pany now has a tramway from Lake Winnipeg to a point on the river above the Grand Rapids. . There is 15,000 to 17,000 feet above sea level where huge amphitheaters ot bare, oroAsd limestone are cut Into myriad cliffs whose sides drop steeply Into narrow chasme of rivers whose serpen- tine courses are hemmed In by precipi- tous Walla of red and brown sandstone. Dr. Rock In an interview tells of the difficulties he and his escort of faith- ful natives encountered while pursu- ing a pathi into the unexplored region, where biting winter blasts of the rare- fii8d atmosphere ot the high mountain contrasted sharjply with the terrific heat of arid deserts; where icy tor- rents, interminable mud- slipes and sloughs, and broken bridges often blocked the trail. Collection New in Boston Dr. Rock's collection of botanical and ornithological specimens from the regions heretofore unknown to botan- ists has been placed In.Jhe Arnold Arboretum and the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. It consists of approximately 30,000 sheets of Tebbu land Is a country of steep slopes and dense forests of conifers) and spruce and fir trees with an un>: dergrowth of scrub rhodedendroo varying In colors from rose pink to' turquoise blue and deep purple shadevJ Curious walled villages were dlscoyJ ered In alpine meadows where grewl scattered clumps ot willows and bary berries or occasional orchards ofl pears, cherries and jujubes. Dr. Rock attempted to esjilore the country In the direction of the Annaj Machln, a mountain of extraordinary*, ireographlcai interest which is said ta| 'be many thousand feet higher than!

The average price in the grease was 17Hd. per pound. This clip, represent- ing 1,639,700 bales, was the heaviest known in New South Wales. There are between 60,000,000 and 60,000,000 sheep In this State. 'Bhe exact total is not ascertainable ]u»t now, but the fact that last year the^ total was set down at 61,880,000 indicaes that the figures just given are â- conservative. The State may be considered as car- rying to capacity, and if there is a prolonged dry time the strain on the pasture* generally will be severe. * French Methods for Keeping a' Kitchen Odorless No housewife likes the odor of cook- ing to go through the house. To pre- cent this happening, the FVench are known to resort to one of two simple devices. If the odor of the anticipated cook- ing is not exceptionally strong, they take a potato, cut it in two, and lay one half, skiu down, on the stove. It warms there, but without becoming cooked. The potato absorbs the odor of whatever happens to be cooking, provided the odor Is not too Intense. If It should happen to be very strong, the housewife may take an orange peel, put a few drops of vinegar on it, and lay this peel on the stove In the same way as the potato half. The skin gets a little warm, but does not cook, and the kitchen Is without odor.

Like dye- ing the hair, such attempts to deceive all and sundry are seldom convincing. Perhaps the most ludicrous subterfuge belonging to tho category of personal fake is that of the bald-iheaded man who tries to cover up his baldness by bringing the hair from over one ear across bhe dome of the head. With his genius for apt generalization, it is thus that Mr. Punch usually depicts the grocer. llhe mentality behind such a trick is vary difficult to gauge; for no one can really suppose that anyone Is thereby deceived. of Manitoba and a small portion of to the north of these two are also In Saskatchewan lying between latitudes 53 degrees and 54 degrees, and be- tween longitudes 98 degrees and 102 degrrees.

The main topographical features are the Saskatchewan River with Its tributaries, its devious passages and its lake expansions, and portion of Lake Wlnnipegosis and Lake Winni- peg. The early fur traders and ex- plorers In canoes or York boats used the route from Lake Winnipeg via Saskatchewan River to points In the far West er North. Much has been written e| the picturesqueneis of these early voyageurs and It is inter- esting to trace out on these maps some of their routes ot travel. The lower valley ot the Saskatchewan Is largely level country subject to periodic flooding, as may readily be seen from the map by the labyrinth ot watercourses shown. Thia valley Is really the delta of the Saskatchewan River before It enters Cedar Lake on its way to Lake Winnipeg and the area has the characteristic delta for- mation. There are regular water routes followed by steamers and motor boats of shallow draught. In the duck shooting season this district Is visited by numerous hunters as It is a feeding ground for all kinds ot wild ducks. It Is a trapper's paradise as the swamps and marshes swarm with muskrats. Thousands of pelts from these' little fur bearers are taken every season, and find their way to the fur auction sales in Montreal or London. From Cedar Lake to Lake Winni- peg the character of the country is entirely different and the Saskatche- wan River flows swiftly with several raplda culminating in the Grand Rapids, where there is a fall of about 75 feet.

Prof. Charles Sprague Britain Won't Shirk Wlckham Steed in the Review of Reviews: There are worse things than war. One ot bbem Is slodiful degeneration of the moral sense. A day may come when w^e shall have to make up our minds wihether we will face the risks of war for the sake of peace. Were that issue over pre- sented frankly to the people, there would be little doubt of the answer. They, who would not fligiht for any sordid cause, would still light for a sure and known ideal, and their readi- ness to flght would be likely to mak'O fighting superfluous. But If any British Government, present or future, imagines that the people of this coun- ,try will flght again for a cause It does not understand, or merely to cut Ita way out of a muddle In which pur- blind Ministers may have involved it, that Government will be likely to get a rude awakening. .> The politicianshave nothing on the suburbanite when It comes to "run- ning for olfico."

Sargent was partly responsible for the proma>tlon of the expedition and it was entirely financed by offlclaJs of the Arnold Arboretum. Dr. Rock was also director of the National Geographical Society's Yunnan-Tibet expedition In 1923-24. Traveling 'overland from Indo-China Dr. Rock operated along the vast, sand-sweipt areas cf the Gobi Desert, and entered Tibet. In 1925 a war between the Tibetans and the Mubammadans prevented Dr. Rock from following the courso he had mapped out, and he traveled north to Lake Ko-Ko-Nor, the Blue Lake. In Tibet, not far from the Chinese Pro- vince of Kan-su.

These relics, believed to be thousands of years olft, comprise tho bones of unknown species of animals and specimens of unadorned pottery. Berlin was originally erected on a swamp and even to-day vast peat-bogs are under some of the city's principal pottury !.peciuio:is are consiilorod proof of A comniun'ty of fairly civil- on pile-frames of hundreds of huge tree trunks driven into the bog until they were entirely flooded by the water. . Through the rapid sinking of tho subterranean water level within the lust few centuries, however, tho pile- frame under the library was exposed and started to rot, thereby causing tho foundation to give way and throot- cnlng to cause the collapoc ot tho massive building. In tho courso of restoring tho library's pile-frame, rolics of a bygono age were found in the bog in such numbers as ta give palenlologlsts and archeologists a new incoiitivo for as- siduous research.
