Vancouver, June 30. � Accepting the mandate given by the mass meet-iiiK at the Arena On Friday, the gen-Aral strike committee in session at the Labor Temple is proceeding with plans for a long drawn-out continuation of the strike which has beeu in force in this city since June ;{. The committee is still considering the revoking of the exemptions granted to certa-in unions when the/strike was first called in sympat-ny with ^the Winnipeg labor dispiite. Announcement is made by/' Secretary James (Smith that th^full list of the exemptions had lurf yet been considered and Iherefor^r he could not state what permLt-s would be cancelled by the roijrmittee. The longshoremen have ^agreed to unload the Makura.        �
It is stated by Chairman Charles Edwards of the strike committee that, an order has been issued to the cooks and waiters in union restaurants and cafes that they must not attenrpt to serve meat or fish, or they would be called on strike.
The chief topic of conversation in labor circles is the, reported action of the Metal Trades Council in deciding to suspend two affiliated unions which severed connections with their International and joined the One Big Union, and the project which has been under way for sonic time to form a new trades council consisting of international unions. This i6 regarded as the first definite break between the conservative and. radical el ments of labor, and it may greatly complicate the present situation, it is said.
their families arrived on Saturday and Sunday and every camping spot In the city's environs was aglow with the camp fires of the natives. In the leading horse race events the Indians cleaned up all the premier purses, the excellence and speed of their mounts proving the surprise of the meet.
The Auto Parade.
The celebration opened at 10:30 Tuesday morning with the auto parade headed by the "tank," the entry of rhe G.W.V.A. for the float prize. Mounted on an auto and as true to life as an artificial "tank" could be, it aroused great interest and much favorable comment. (There were other "tanks" in evidence, but they won no prizes.j

SOLDIER DELEGATE 3PBAKH HIGHLY OP AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS   HEREABOUTS
�Vancouver, June :2s.�That there is excellent land tor 3oldler settlement at Prince Georgn Vanderhoof, fmithers and other district* in northern British Columbia was the declaration of Comrade T. A. Barnard, who recently returned from a trip there made In the interests of the G.W.V.A., when he went as the guest of the Provincial Lani Settlement Board. At Prince George the land was splendid, he told the convention, and well adapted for mixed farming with good markets At Vanderhoof he found conditions much the same with thousands of acres available for settlement or easily made available. At Smithers, Terrace and other districts in that section conditions were similar and Id his opinion no returned man could make any mistake in locating tbere
Much of the land was held by speculators, but he advised returned men to work through the Provincial Land .Settlement Board and later on to apply to the Soldier Settlement Board, who would buy out the land from the Provincial Land Settlement Board, the Provincial Government giving the returned man a rebate of $600..
"If civilians had the same opportunity to get land in this district as returned men, there would not be an acre left inside of two years," sakl the delegate..
The speaker criticised the literature of a certain real estate corporation selling land in the section under discussion  as   very  misleading.
Comrade Viblwrd from Prince George maintained that the Soldier Settlement Board was doing everything in its power for the soldier farmer, but that the Provincial Government was not assisting in any way it should by releasing land for settlement  now  held  for speculation.
