Clay- ton, Regina, distinguished student in science, who is working on his Mas- ter’s degree. The study was under- taken at the request of the federal forage crops laboratory and was un- der supervision of Dr. Ralph Lar- mour, of the university's chemistry department. Discovery of an inexpensive method to test sweet clover is an important step in the transition of this species from that of a useless weed to a high position as a forage plant. ‘The solution, already tested in the government laboratory, will enable agriculturists to produce strains that have not the bitter taste that’ mark others as unsuitable for fodder. Untermyer, German scientist, has invented a method that proved slow and required much material. A s'm!- lar result was obtained by two Rus- sian scientists. The Saskatchewan find {s simple and inexpensive. P. M. Stevenson, who is in charge of the government laboratory here, predicted further’ development in the transition of sweet clover. He saw the time when it would no longer be necessary for the farmer to scarify the weed. Clayton graduated with distinction in chemistry in 1932. He is a nephew of M. J.

ACTION Ottawa.—State intervention in the men's clothing industry of Canada, which seems to be tottering to its death, dragging its workers with it, was proposed before the house busi- ness probe by Prof. H. M. Cassidy, of the University of Toronto. After describing men and women in Montreal and Toronto working a full week of 72 hours for wages run- ning-as low as $3 and $4 in unsani- tary, crowded sweatshops, the young, spectacled professor offered his solu- tion of state intervention. "He sug-; gested extension and better enforce- | ment of provincial labor laws which | he claimed were being flouted openly to-day. Within the industry would be as tablished an agency for self-govern-| ment, supported by the authority of the Dominion to prevent unfair prac- | tices and act in a constructive way to stabilize the trade to the benefit | of workers, employers and consumers. The house committee, established | ‘to probe business practices, general labor conditions and distribution | methods, heard Prof. Cassidy give the | results of a three-month inquiry into| the men’s: clothing trade conducted last fall with Prof. F. R. Scott-of Mc- Gill. Here were some of the facts Rel earthed and conclusions reached: The great majority of workers in| the industry, centred in Montreal | and Toronto, exist in abject poverty. | The minimum wage laws and labor | regulations of Ontario and Quebec have been flouted openly with regard | to wages, hours, sanitary conditions) and record-keeping. Workers are afraid to complain to provincial wage authorities for fear they will lose their jobs and the prov- inces have imadequate ‘inspection | staffs. Fines of $10 and $20 for infractions of labor laws are too light. Pressure from department stores} has contributed to the deplorable con-| dition of the industry by forcing manufacturers to accept orders at low prices. | Generally speaking, conditions in! Quebec are worse than in Ontario be- cause.of lack of union control. The Montreal strike last. Septem- ber and the establishment of union ment, wages rising as high as 100 ee aus oar control resulted in immediate) ols on second reading. FRENCH OPPOSE MOVE TO.LET GERMANY RE-ARM ‘Paris—Premier Gaston Doumer- gue's foreign affairs director still has held out against a proposed four- y/ Power treaty permitting Germany to re-arm, and demanded guarantees that any new arms level be observed. England and Italy, It is understood, were near an accord to put a lid on | thetr armaments and let Germany re~ arm, as a result of visits.to Berlin and Rome of Captain Anthony Eden, Britieh lord privy seal and leading arme negotiator.
