My Handicap americas and the report of the situa- tion will be submitted to the corpor- ate body by A. E. Ashdown of the New York branch, 106 Fifth Avenue. Mr. Ashdown has just returned from an extensiye expedition along the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland where the various stations of the Grenfell. work are situated. His en- quiries into the exact condition of affairs touched every branch of the Labrador missions and entailed an enormous amount of intricate work. Grenfell Not Blamed No blame attaches to Dr. Grenfell, but all is placed upon a careless method of bookkeeping, gnd lack-of systematic supervision. Several of the co-operative stores eslabiisied by Dr. Grenfell to sell food and supplies to the mpoverish- ed fishermen at a fair price were compelled to shut down. Bight food Stations have been built by. Dr. Gren- fell, but this summer only three of them were in operation.

The mission s officers, af- ter going fully into the matter, re pudiated the acts. The manager con- fessed his guilt to Dr. Grenfell and was sentenced by the court to six months in the penitentiary.

Another source for severe criticism was found in the use of the mission ships by private parties, elther for pleasure or commercial purijosed, thus, primarily taking them away from the humanitarian service for which they were intended, the relief of the suffering fishermen who have no other medical help to look for- ward to.

It is a short period, and the lending of Grenfell vessels to other pursuits has aroused a storm of protest in various quarters. Hired. by Pleasure Parties The Yale, a motor launch present- ed a few years ago. by students of that university, is under charter to the Newfoundland Government for carrying mails and the Fleur de Lys, the gift of a New York man; has been hired to a New York pleasure party on an all-summ r cruise. The.--three---maste auxiliary schooner yacht presented to the Grenfell service last year by George B, Cluett of Troy, and named atter him, had no sooner b en turned over to the organization than it was char- tered for summer cruise by a Chi- cago man. Its first service around the Labrador was to take the Chica- go man, his two daughters and two friends on a summer cruise to Hud- son Straits, stopping at the mission station 2t St. Anthony's, NF, only long enough to deliver a large quan- tity of stores. 2ud medicine sent by various persons.

The next congress will decide on the date when the new regime shall go into effect. In Prussian coal mines the usual underground shift, not counting de- scent and ascent, is eight hours, but in Upper Silesia it is 9.7 for hewers and tammers and: 10.1 for other workmen; for surface workmen , the hours range from 9.8 in State mines to 11.9 at Aix-la-Chapelle. Industrially Pennsylvania occupies the foremost rank in the Union. Of a total population of about eight millions, more than one million men, women and children are wage earn - jets, earning their liveishood in the coal mines, shops, mills and fac- tories. In Massachusetts there are 370,775 women wage earners, one-quarter of the entire female population of the commonwealth. Of this number 91,- 000 are married women, three-quar - ters of whom are mothers with fam- ilies averaging four children.
