FOUNDATION

LONDON. April 2- (Goi respomtenc
of The Associated Press)— Recent la
bor troubles in Great Britain hav<
been popularly laid at the door of the
'shop steward's movement' in the 'are
of the fact that outside the immediate
labor world very few people ever b.*- ,
tore heard of shop stewards much less
of the movement engineered by theni
to force their demands by sudden
strikers and industrial paralysis -- a
system which the stewards are please 1
to call “direct action. 1
l'lu* Shop steward's movement wa >
a creation of the war, and in the
tour years several causes have com
bined to give the stewards a position
of* great importance, particularly rn
the engineering trades.
From the passage of the Munitions
Act in 1915 union customs were su
spended, and at the same time pro
blems arose which demanded close at j
tention within the shop. Detailed ques- j
tions of new processes, piece work (to 1
which in the engineering trades the ■
unions had been unalterably opposed»
raised issues of utmost important* j
which were constantly changing and
which varied in character from on° i
shoo to another. The expedient adopt
ed. a spontaneous growth rather than •
i formal departure , was the increase j
in shop stewards, an addition to the!? ,
notions and a corresponding incren-v i
o their importance.
There has been a rapid growth of
v oik committees, consisting of the,
hop stewards in the employment of j

WINNIPEG, Mann., April 2— Pre
liminary measures have been taken by
the Dominion Repatriation Committee ■
for carrying out the broad plan of as-,
sisting returned soldiers and their tit I
pendents, which may invole a govern-!
mcnt expenditure of $100,000,000.
Loans totaling more than $1,500,-1
000 have already been granted a thous
-and or more returned soldiers, wh le .
800 others have made entries on go*- j
eminent land under the soldier settle
ment act ,Ottawa has officially an- j
flounced.
The government’s program so pre
pared thus far would allow u return
ed soldier a free grant of a quarter
section, on homestead conditions , in
addition to his ordinary homestead
right. This privilege is extended under
the soldier settlement act. The govern
ment has suspended entry by others
than soldiers on all remaining home
stead lands in the western provineves j
within fifteen miles of railway trans- j
portation.
A soldier is eligible to a maximum
loan of $2,500 for purchase of live* |
stock, erection of buildings and other
improvements when he goes on th*»
r land. The loan, which must be re •
paid in twenty annual installments, i?
; given in the form of refunds for ex
I penditurcs . Interest of five percent
\ is charged . An additional $1,000 may
j be advanced as the land is improved.
The government is cooperating
with the Soldier Settlement Board to
f acquire suitable lands now held uncu *
i tivated by private owners. Govern
.ment officials say that at the coming
session of parliament legislation wi1'
. be sought for obtaining great tracts
i of such land to be re-sold to soldiers
j at cost.
Plans for other reconstruction work
! ur»* going forward rapidly. Official; at
(Ottawa hare rnforn»e<i mayors of ha t
ing cities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
/and Alberta that the government is
ready to give each province $1,000,000
for road work provided the provinces
j make this approiation the mine por
tion of a good roads fund. The govern
i ment will net pay more than forty per

’ CHEAP IMMIGRANT LABOR
IS PROHIBITED BY JAPAN
TOKIO, April 2— The prohibition ;
of cheap immigrat labor, except under
special permission of the authorities,
is by no means a dead letter in Japan.
Eight hundred Chinese coolies recent
ly were sent back to Autung unler
police escort by the Hotpe Minister.
Commenting on this incident M.
Zumoto, editor of the Herald of As:a,
tells his countrymen that the policy j
that excludes Japanese labor from
America and Australia, makes it pos
sible for Japanese laborers to earn a
living at home.
The coolies in question had been im
ported from Autung by an iron manu
facturer at Hiroshima, who lost $25,
000 by the operation.
