CANADIAN BIRDS SEEN IN BRITAIN TORONTO OThe aeroplane is rapidly converting man into a cosmopolitan traveller a statu long enjoyed by the Inveterate travellers, the birds. L. L. Snyder of the Royal Ontario Museum states that some of. our common shorebirds nest within the Arctic Circle in the summer and yet, In our winter, arc to be found at the opposite end oi the .earth. The Least Sandpiper, for. Instance, a sparrow-sized bird, may nest In northwestern Alaska In summer and spend the rest of the year in the tip of South America. Very great distances are travelled also by certain plovers, and sand pipers. -Distance is not the only, remarkable feature of the annual flights 'of shorebirds. As a rule, adult birds migrate separately, departing before the young birds. v Canadian shorebirds may visit Europe and Asia as occasional strays turn up nl England. Some which nest In the Aleutian Islands of Alaska may regularly go south via the Asiatic coast.

To this Canadian National Railways answered that they knew of no such agreement. Cannery Men Picket Ships At Seattle Second Strike Leaves Territory Extremely Short of Food SEATTLE 0j Members oi the Alaska Salmon Cannery Workers' Union continued to picket Alaska-bound boats today, and officials of the Alaska Steamship Co. said that the strike virtually would cut off all shipping to Alaska1 points. The union is asking a 20 cents an hour Increase in pay with a 40-hour week, and an Increase from $25 to $40 for "standby" pay. The strike, coming on the heels of the Alaska longshore men's .strike which withheld food supplies from the northern territory for 19 days, is creating a i situation regarded as critical In the Alaska cities. The- union is picketing Alas ka-bound vessels to see that goods for the territorial canneries are not loaded on northbound boats.
