York-Sunbury rOLIDITY OF THE GOVERNMENT in asound U and steady-going Maritime seat was-indicated by the result of the federal by-election yesterday in York-Sunbury, New Brunswick. The seat had been made vacant by the death of Hon. H. F. Bridges, minister of fisheries. The Liberal party had as its candidate the new minister, Hon. Milton Gregg. There was no particular point for the seat to change political color at this. time. It was not expected that it would do so so there was no surprise in the result and no particular significance can be read into the outcome. The Progressive-Conservatives had a distinguished soldier as their candidate and Lt.-General 'E. W. Sansom received a very substantial vote, higher probably than the party would have got had there been an ordinary candidate. York-Sunbury has a large percentage of industrial vote but the showing of the C.C.F. candidate was almost negligible. RAILWAY STRIKE IT IS TO BE hopefully prayed that the-railway-I men's strike, now called for November 3, will not come to the point of materialization. We have been close to general railway strikes in Canada before but, it is to-be recalled, they were generally averted along toward the iast minute. The railway strike in itself, involving idleness for 125,000 workers, would be bad enough. But more serious would be the reaction on other services and industries which would very soon, if not almost immediately, throw as many if not many more people out of work due to the paralysis in transportation. Every business in the country would be affected to some degree of seriousness. There would be no compensation whatever for many of the workers during their enforced idleness. One does not need to have much imagination or think very long to picture just how serious a thing a -general railway strike would be for the whole country. Therefore, it is to be expected that all avenues of compromise and negotiation will be exhausted before it is permitted to come actually into being. SASKATCHEWAN'S LEAD THE SASKATCHEWAN GOVERNMENT took . I. .forthright action to deal with the meat packers' ' strike when Premier T. C. Douglas announced tKat, if the strike was not settled by November 1, 'his government would take over the plants and operate .them. .Saskatchewan,-in so doing, would have merely taken the lead which other governments would have been quite justified in following if the intolerable lie-up had been allowed to continue. Obduracy of companies or unions or both could not be allowed indefinitely to prevent people from getting food and the farmers from disposing of their product which means their bread and butter and at a particularly critical season right now. The companies, as usual, might not stand to lose a great deal except inconvenience and disorganization. The workers, in the long run, would, of course, be severe-sufferers but that was a situation to which they would be consenting parties. The really intolerable thing was that the consumers and the producers, who were no party to the dispute- -which was no fault of' theirs should also have to suffer. So it is interesting that at least one govern, ment even if it was a C.C.F. was resolved to take decisive -action to break the strike-caused' tie-up, whether or no the labor 'people liked it. HINKY DINKY PARLEZVOUS? MOST OF US have heard of "Mademoiselle From Armentieres." The renowned lady became introduced in the midst of blood and tears and poison -gas .and trench warfare in-Northern France, during the earlier stages of Great War Number I. 'Hinky Dinky Earlez'Vous? Well, the young lieutenant, Gitz Rice, who wrote that deathless iittv is dead, in. New York Citv. He, himself, has joined the countless comrades of ders Fields at the age of 66. What memories, today, .as .age comes on and grev hau;s multiply, the rollicking air of ".Mademoiselle" can awaken! What experiences, anecdotes .and yarns that devil-may-care rifolodv and limitless wordage can conjure up, and be lived over again. Doubtless, manv old sweats, nlno-mnrr nin .through the blessings of neace, might feel a touch pf nostalgia could they glimpse aeain those far-off days of their youth,, their strength and their glory.
