‘"These old people are economic casualties. Some are in grave diffiâ€" culties through no fault of their own and others because of their own mistakes. Nevertheless, they require humane care in their deâ€" clining years. I feel the public is coming more and more to recogâ€" nize that it is obligatory that old There are now eight Eventide Homes and five Sunset Lodées operated by Salvation Army in Caâ€" nada and appeals have been made to The Army to open many more, he said. Some progress has been made this year, with two new Sunâ€" set Lodges opened, at New Westâ€" minster, B.C., and Charlottetown, P.E.1, a new Eventide Home openâ€" ed at Gueloh, Ont., and the existâ€" ing one in Montreal being enlarged. Many aged men in centres across Canada are sheltered in Salvation Army Men‘s Hostels when they should be in Eventide Homes, said Commissioner Orames. ‘"‘While these institutions are partly selfâ€"sustaining through alâ€" lowances to inmates, there is a heaâ€" vy financial burden imposed in proâ€" viding and furnishing the buildings and the costs of operation exceed‘ the revenue," he said. TORONTO.â€"Calls for accommoâ€" dation for aged men in Eventide Homes and for aged women in Sunâ€" set Lodges are so greatly in excess of capacity that most applications must be refused, according to Commissioner Benjamin Orames, Salvation Army Territorial Comâ€" mander for Canada. If its legal and lawful for a bunch of men to keep others out the plant, then the men inside who are definitely obeying the law the letter, should have the same privilege to keep the strikers out the plant if they so wish. Why not? MANY MORE AGED ASK SHELTER THAN S. A. CAN ACCEPT The strikers must feel proud in the knowledge that the men they label "scabs" are mostly men who were willing to lay down their lives that they, the strikers, might remain free. One thing we would like to know. There seems to be about the same number of men inside the Stelco plant as there is out on strike. When the strike is over, and the keeping of men willing to work out of the plant continucs until that time, why wouldn‘t it be just as right and legal for the men now penned up in the plant to turn around and refuse to let the men now on strike, come back into the plant and resume work? Is the Government, to which they remained loyal, backing them up in their determination to obey the law, to remain at their jobs, and not be led about by some foreign rowdy? Not so you could notice. Actually up to the latest development when the provincial police and the Mounties were ordered in to Hamilton, nothing had been done to protect or take care of these men. It is altogether probable that outside police would have not been sent to the city if Hamilton‘s Police Chief had not admitted that the situation was beyond control by his small force of officers. A great many of the man that are now practically prisoners in the Stelco plant are veterans. They fought that all men might be free . . . that they might be free themselves. It must be a bitter dose for them to take, to find that now they have won the war and want to settle down to the ways of peace, they are not allowed to; and instead are held prisoners within the walls of the place they chose to work. Provincial police and RM.P‘s are already billeted in the city, and are standing ready to see that law and order is preserved, despite the inclination of the union leaders to have it otherwise. There are going to be a few cracked skulls and broken bones from now on if the strikers continue their policy of "might is right". Actually the Government should have stepped in to enforce the law long ago. Here is the picture of the Government of a country ordering the men to remain at work while negotiations were carried out, and of having foreign agitators come into this country and openly ordering the men to disobey the Government order . . . and making their order stick. What did the Government do? Not a darn thing. The same thing that they always do when there is not an easy answer before In the meantime, how about the men that are still at work in the Stelco plant, and have been ever since the Government issued the order for them and the strikers to remain at work. them. Th-e same tfiing they always do when it is near election time, and they think they may get a few extra votes by doing nothing, whether it makes them look foolish or not. * The Stelco strike has now reached a new phase, not apt to turn favourable for the strikers if their pr towards lawless action continues.

The strangest thing of all in conâ€" nection with this strike is that the government which those "scabs" |clected does absolutely nothing to correct such a condition.

Those responsible for this strike apparently consider such respect raive and old fashioned and from ie looks of things they appear to Le right. This is not simply a strike beâ€" tween Stelco management and the C10., but also a strike between lue men in the plant.

They are "scabs" because they chose to obey the Orâ€" derâ€"inâ€"Council prohibiting such a strike. They are "scabs" because they are exercising their inherent right to hold to their own opinion, refusing to yield to pressure groups. They are "scabs" because they dare to put their country first instead of following the dictates of a few amâ€" bitious labor leaders.
