ernment $8,500,000 exclusive of arma

Agreement Reached With Employers
for Increase In Wages.
Ottawa, Ont, Tho strlko of con
ductors, trainmen and yardmen, which
began on the Grand Trunk and Central
Vermont systems on July 18, wss offi
cially called off.
Under the terms of tho agreement
signed by President Hays for tho rail
roads and all tho union officials, tho
men will receive, dating back to May
13 this year, an advance of approxi
mately 18 per cent, and beginning
January 1, 1912, a rato of wages
slightly below tho Eastern association
schedule, for which they struck, but an
advance in many instances of over 30
per cent.
In the caso of tho Central Vermont,
tho same settlement applies, with the
exception that the standardization to
be applied on January 1, 1912, is to bo
thst of the Rutland Railway, a road in
the same territory, and not that of tho
Canadian Pacific, which will only ap
ply to tho Grand Trunk system.
Japan's Friendship True.
New York Speaking from tho
standpoint of 30 years' experience, tho
Right Rev. Hcrriman C. Harris de
clares that Japanese friendliness for
the people of the United Staes Was a
striking characteristic not only of the
government, but of tho people.
"Japan is bound to Great Britlsn by
the close and definite terms of an alli
ance, but good feeling toward Ameri
ca is inherent among the people; it Is
traditional. I would not bo going too
far in ssying thst the good will toward
this country which you encounter ev
erywhere among the people as well as
among thoso in official lifo is more
than a matter of mere friendly senti
ment. It has been in evidence in Jap
an for 50 years and as I said, Is some
thing which young generations of Jap
anese are taught to accept as a part
almost of national feeling.
"Now this may sound strange, but I
know it is true."
