('(Authorized as Second Class Mall, Poet Of Ire Department, Ottawa), StRIKES DO NOT PAY W'HATEVR may be the merits . of labor's demands one certain leison slibuid be learned from strikes, thjit is, they do not pay. Strikes "are unprofitable to the country at large, to the industrialist and, what'is worse, to the men who stHke. i We have developed a system of adjudication through courts of law for civil disputes. It is to our discredit that we have not developed a system . .to c settle disputes between employers and employees by adjudication but must resort to the law of the jungle and fight a dispute out by a shutdown of "industry. i: There in of course legal machinery on'' the statute books by which arbi-trhtion proceedings can be insituted. But; these laws have been ignored lately and none there are with the inteftinal fortitude to enforce their operation. I in a. recent article in the Atlantic Sljonthly; Sumner H. Slichter points out jthat in the United States the proportion of the work force on strike was greater than ever be-fdr higher than during the great p6swar strikes of 1919 or the great eiglft-bour, .strike of 1886. As much time was lost from strikes in January and February, 1946, as during tlie whole of the preceding two years. "Have the strikes been worth tlieir cost? Have they been a valuable experience for employers, unions and the government? Will tliev: hglpavert another large series of "'shutdowns next winter?"' asks r. Slighter, who has a high reputation as an arbitrator. Well might we in British Columbia ask ourselves these same qus-tions. How long will it take for employees to be as well off as if they had not struck but had sent their demands to an arbitrator and in the meantime kept on working and receiving their wages? j Many workers will have to postpone buying what they had in mind for the comfort of their families due to the loss of wages. We are not arguing about the merits of the demands of the strikers. For wtyat we know they may have a 1Q0 per cent righteous cause. The point we have in mind is tliat strikes do not pay, and there ought to be some way evolved by which adjudication of claims can be made without resorting to shutdown of industry. Even after striking, reconciliation always takes place sooner or later. "Why could not reconciliation take place without a shutdown of production and its consequent loss to the nation and everyone concerned. . The interests of the public are disdained when strikes occur. But the public are becoming angered and it; is likely their anger may" be vented upon those who are fighting for a ;just cause. A remejdy must be found to get away from the curse of the doctrine that says: "Those may take who have the power "And those may keep who can." It is our opinion that legislators might well consider the establishment of Labor Courts which could be operated regionally as do our County Courts, and with a higher Court of Appeal for the Province at large. At least this is a constructive suggestion a sane way out of the existing impasse which is bringing ruin to our economy, unhappi-ness to workers, bitterness in the hearts of many and no real improvement in the conditions of the strikers whose cost of living goes up "with every gain made by strikes. . "Strikes have cost employers far less than employees because pavements to wage earners are considerably more than overhead costs and profits together. Consequently, the loss of wages attributable to recent strikes will be from five to ten times as large as loss of profits." It is the unions that should be taking the lead in advocating the creation of some form of adjudicating court to settle labor dispute and deal' with labor's requirements. A bar of soap makes a mighty poor grindstone. IF FIDO BARKS TONIGHT IF, DURING the still hours of the I night or bright and early of a Sunday morning when you are set-ling back for your weekly beauty sleep, your relaxed tranquility is rudely disturbed by the yowling, yapping or downright raucous barking of your thoughtless neighobr's canine vociferating at the world in general and nothing in particular, it may or it may not be comforting to reflect that you read in a city announcement today that the Pound Bylaw requires that "no dog shall be permitted to run at large or tresspass upon any of the streets, squares, lanes, parks, alleys or public places in the city at any time." Further, it seems t .us that .somewhere in the code there is a law that refers to public nuisances of various kinds and that persistently barking dogs that shatter the midnight air and generally wreck the peace and tranquility of the communitymay be established as such in the eyes of the law. This, of course, all refers to what is right and wrong and suggests what might happen to the offending owners, to say nothing of the dogs themselves, if they are caught up with by the authorities after due compaint has been lodged. Many folks may suffer in silence because they do not wish to cause undue trouble and make themselves appear unduly irritable. Then there is the matter of getting the police or the poundkeeper to the scene of complaint. Possibly the most effective means of remedying the situation, whereby some of our long-suffering friends tell us they haven't had a decent night's sleep in weeks, would be if dog owners would just stop for a moment to think of themselves in the other arson'si position and somehow or other get Jake or Fido in a spot where he is not making a nuisance of himself throughout the night to the folks for blocks around. After all, ownership of one's favorite pet does imply some responsibility and consideration including insuring that he is jiot permitted to make a downright nuisance of himself to the community. f , Anybody can pull a load downhill.

Most provinces reported record liquor buying during the fis cal year 1945-46, but anticipate, still higher totals In the current year, despite a fallmg-off In earnings o many workers, from wartime levels. Federal liquor restrictions, imposed in 1942, were aimed largely at curtailing heavy luxury spending, and at diverting money to war purpose's. Since removal of such restrictions, ration quotas have been generously upped in most provinces; in :ome cases, to a point where consumers no longer purchase the maximum allowed them.

MORE SUGAR FOR CANADA (Jood News May be Coming 1 or Last Quarter of 191G OTTAWA There may be good news for sugar users for the las:, quarter of 194G. Recently, offals in both Canada and the United States decided nn chance should be made In present allocations for the third i quarter. But .supply is now lending to equal or slightly exceed demand. And since authorities both here and in the United States are agreed they will not "heard" supplies at this stage, continuation of present satisfactory trends may mean a small increase to some types oi customers in Uje last quarter. Four weeks' sugar figures released from Ottawa last week may be misleading- They show In one place that stocks of. refined sugar are up 42 per cent over last vear. But they aiso show that stocks of raw are down 30 per cunt. Over-all, on a strictly comparable basis, the present total Canadian supply Is almost exactly where it was a y. ar ao.
