Labor conditions of Canada should be considerably improved by an announcement just made by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to the effect that the operating departments of their Eastern and Western lines have been authorized to take on 6,000 extra laborers for suitable work during the next two months at current rate of wage. The object of this measure is to help furnish employment before winter and- relieve possible distress occasioned by the temporary dislocation of business due to the war. It is thought that other large concerns will follow the example of the Canadian Pacific. _o UNCLE HEZEKIAH OBSERVES No feller whut sez he likes “the wimmin” ez a-goin t' git anywheres ’ith wun wummin in partikier.
