STRIKE VOTE OF RAILWAY EMPLOYEES MAY BE TAKEN
Montreal, July 3�The meeting held last week with Hen. W. A. Gordon minister-of labor, having proved sftor-tve, the probabilities are said to favor the taking of a strike vote of the members cf the various railway workers unions on the issue whether they will accept the second ten per cent �put in wages As the shopmen have - ned up with the men in the running ivades there will be approximately 100.000 men affepted. While the railway managements insist the second reduction of ten per cent in Wages is impertative the men are resisting on the ground the second cut would bring their wages 17��<�_. per cent lower than these obtahVng on the railways in the Untied States There is said to be much uncertainty as to the outcome of a strike vote, but with half of the men concerned virtually employees of the government a big political lac*or would be.presented in the base cf a strike

PUBLIC OPINION IS SKEPTICAL ON "JAKE THE BARBER" ABDUCTION
Chicago, July 5�The public refuses �to get exerted over the reported abduction tof John .-Factor, internationally known as "Jake the Barber." Factor is said to � have been seized on Saturday morning and held for ransom cf $75,000 In April last the son of Factor was kidnapped and held for raii's&m, but his father enlisted the co-operaticn of Chicago's underworld and claimed to have effected his son's lelease without ransom payment. Now it :s claimed the abductors have bagged tlie old man at a time when he was fighting proceedings to extradite him to Great Britain, on charges of fleecing British rnvestors out of $7,000,-000 through the sale oi bogus securities. Factor began life as a barber but socn gratitated In'p the world^of questionable finance. He made restitution of more than. SI,000,000' to his victims in England since'' his arrest here, and is credited with having cleaned up $5,000,000 in stock market transactions vrfhin the same period. Abduction would simplify matters so, much fcr Factor that there is the sug- \ gest-ion it may have been arranged.

MATTERN RELIEF PLANE MADE FORCED LANDING AT TERRACE
The Mattern    relief    plane    which paused over Prince Gecrge early yesterday morning en route to Fairbanks, Alaska, got into difficulties some dis- ; t.ance north of Hazelton by reason of i poor   v:sibility,     with  the    result  its supply of gas became very low.   Tlie plane eventually   headed for    Prince Rupert but was unable to land. Mes- i sages were dropped to the effect-that j the  gas supply was about exhausted. � and the  plane  then headed back up the Skeena.    The predicament of tlr* plane occasioned much  uneasiness-in Prince Rupert .and messages were sent out to police officers at interior points to be on the look-out  for it.    It was later'^reported the plane had effected -a^ landrng   on   a    field   near  Terrace without mishap.

Mr. Rush [-pve the most of his attention to the B veins. These appear j to carry copper, lead and gold in the j quartz, and from one of them, hav- j ing a width of cne foot, he secured I an aesay giving an Indicated value of S17 :t; geld.
The  work qh   the   larger  veins  has; so far been restricted to the cne farthest from the granite.   This vein has the same.characteristics as the others, j uiryins  quartz  and   calc:to  in  about equal proportion*}, and  at the surface !v>   p width of eight feet. A prospect- ' ::vj shaft was sunk upon it.  and has dl'-doic-d . the  vein    carries  ere  with' copper   values.     This   vein   being   the'' most distant from the granitp^j>Fma- : tion, !.t is assumed wcrk.on>he inter- J veiling   fourteen   veins'^nay   be   oven more encouraging in^-that the presence of the  copper ' is-'an   indication' gold .values mfl-yOjcr pxpected  in  the  "eir^ o^rtie granite.    From  the  ap-t? of the. formation,  and   tlia'. larger   veins,     the   geological 'theory is that  the  granite  uplift   altered the strike of the formation from northwest to' southeast to southwest to northeast,  leaving     the  ends    of  tlie large   veins    in   contact    against   the granite, and thus causing their  mineralization.
What may add considerable to the PKs'ble mineral/value in the area is occurrence of a number of other veins carrying blue quartz. There are a number of these veins in a band approximately 100 yards wide, and run-ftiing paraillel with the large veins, and they appear to have-a-\vidU.i_vary-_ ing from 4 fee" to io foot. So far ii nas not been determined what values these veins carry.
Mr, Rush makes no claims as to what the necessary exploration of] fhese veins may determine, but he pete contend they present a very promising field for work, and may prove to w the .source cf the placer gold found on Skarfet Creek.

Thc refusal of Roosevelt to enter a~joint agreement for stabiliza-tJnn' ti4rh~~Tr^wpW-tQ' an niltimat'e re-Mun to the gold sts\nda'rd. has also" t'lengthened the opinion there has been, a gradual '/drawing apart of the United States, delegates from the president. Ti id reported the delegates have appealed to the president again fcr more definite instructions, and the conference is being- treated to the spectacle -of the passing of the buck between the delegates and the president. Back of all the trouble- is sensed the altered .situation in the remarkable 'niprovenient in industrial and commercial ccndi'ion-3 in tho United States. With every indication of a return of prosperity in the United States it aiiiisars as if President Roosevelt is less .impelled to become deer'Vv involved in Europe's economic problems.
� The depiTciat:on of the United States dollar has given the United Stoics/a tremendous advantage in international trading, which apparently ibTp/is-n dfSDOsit'on to capitalize at the expense of European countries. It is said now that even the tariff pro-porals cf the United States have been discredited by the change in the at--t; tude of Pre-ident Roosevelt as out rf i-:n* vi'h his program for industrial control and general raising of commodity prices. As business recovery sio's under way in the Uivted Stales there appears to be a disposition en the part of Rcosevelt to in-i rens? existing tnriff.^ and trade embargoes, rather than to reduce them, s~ a measure of protection auamst ccmRstWon from low-priced European countries.

There was a. representative gathering at the court house on Friday af-tornoon to meet Hon. Joshua H nch-liffe. minister of education and lands, "iio had announced h?s willigness to discuss any matters arising out of the administration of his two departments The .school boards of the rural dictr'C -surrounding the city were well represented; and they presented a wide rang? of subjects for discussion from the fixing of the .salaries of school teachers to the qualification of those permitted to have a voice in the administration of .school affairs. Land settlement matters were also brought to the fore, and the contention advanced that not.'.only should the selling price of crown lands be reduced, but the valuations on the- lands already sold should bo  revised.
In connection with the administration of-the education department, over which he has presided for several^ years, the miii'ster appeared to con-" '��rier himself upon very firrn^ ground and met the demands for changes with mucih confidence. He justified his nct:on in the fixing of the teachers' salaries and expressed his conviction he h^d done the fair thing. There had been the possibility in this for him to have "secured some personal popularity, but he had not taken advantage of it. The government had appointed a commission composed partly of vx:hool teachers and partly of the element which m'ght be considered as taxpayers.

� Amendment Made in  1931  Les-
sended Rather than Increased
Liability   of   Boards
The members of the Prince George ! beard of rshoql trustees learned sbme-i thing on Friday afternoon  from Hon. ! Joshua Hiriohliffe  as   to  their obligations in the  matter of  providing  Uii-tion   in   the   hkh   school   lor   pup'ls coming  from  outside  points  who   acquire  domicile n;  the homes of  residents   oi   the   city     In   the   past   the board has contended such pup.'ls were net  residents  within   the  meaning  of the School 'Act. and that their parents or guardians  could be held liable for tuition  fees.    There, are a  number  oi such  cases.    Ths paren'.s of some of the  pupils   have  been   paying   tuition , fees but ethers have resisted;    As the ! result of the'opinion expressed by the I minister on Friday it will net be sur- ' prising    if  the    parents  of    all such j pupils refuse   payment   of tuition   fees in future.    The minister says the only . course   open   to   the   school   board; to enforce the   collection  cf  tuition   fees j in -such cases  tfes  in the  securing of � j a restricted interpretation by/the court | las to the  term ��resident'"  within  the I meaivng  of   the  School   Act.    In  tihe; j^chc-cl   Act   there  are  two/ pages   do-! voted  io thp  interpretation of various" terms   employed,   but   no/>tteiiipt   is \ made to interpret the meaning to be ai'ined  tho  term  "veiiident."
The section of the act which creates j the   misunderstanding   is   that   tncor- I porated by  the amending' act of 1931 �enacting sub-section 2 of section 135a. j and' limiting  the  number  of boarders ! in a  boavd:n!. hdus? who may qualify |as  "resident*-." rcadirtg  ^follows:
��i2> For the puruose- of this pet a pupil whose parents or guardian resides elsewhere shall not be deemed to be resident in a school district or municipality by reason only of the fact that the pupil beards at a board-:ng house in the school d strict cr municipality-, unlc.-s he is the only pupil who boards at thai- boarding house whr*3s parents or guardian reside elsewhere than in that .school district or  inuhic'p'aiity','.'
The school board at one time con-nrued this section as directing that iii the case of there beam no more Jhan one pupil from an outside point 'n a bcard'n.u house such pupil -should b� considered a "resident" within the meaning of the act. but the minis*er dissented, from this contention strongly. So far from adding to the d'faculties cf school beards he '^id the emendment had lessened them, and he fhen proceedrd to Rive the explanation for its incorporation.

Number    of    Channels    Shared with  U.   S.   Has  Also   Been Greatly Increased
John A. Fraser, M. P.. has forwarded to The Citizen an explanation of the agreement dm ween Canada and the United States for a division of the a'r channels on the North American continent for radio broadcasting. The agreement which has "been arrived at, Mr. Fraser makes clear, is the work of the Canadian government rather than that cf the Canadian radio commission. Under it Canada secures n!ne clear channels for unlimited power in place of five assigneepby' United States in the -first insta.mr�dio transmission on tlie centUieruV^These- are Canada, the Unl'tod'States and Mexico,. and the ^existing arrangements will be subject 10 review at the interntaiori&l radio conference which is to be held in Mexico City during the current year. In his review of the radio situation Mr. Fraser says:
When, during the session of 1932, the special committee of the house of commons on radio broadcasting was deciding to recommend to parliament the policy of nationalising radio broadcasting in Canada, it realized that, for a national system such as was proposed, Canada would have to nave a larger share of the broadcasting channels of the North American continent. Additional channels could cuily be procured by an agreement with the United States. The committee realized that to secure for Canada the required additional share Of channels-, it would be necessary to sats'fy the United States authorities' that the Canadian channels would fc'e r1'--'-!-buted among Canadian areas and stations in a manner to conform properly with the whole broadcasting layout of the North American continent, Canada, tlie United States, and Mexico are all concerned in and affected by the distribution of channels or wavelengths on this continent, and such distribution; therefore, is in accordance with international agreement.
Tho committee decided tha*. before recommending the creation of a national broadcasting system, it should ascertain whether the additional channels could be secured. Accordingly, with the assistance of Canadian rad o engineers and experts, it determined the number of channels required^ for Canada and at the same time, r&'d out a plan for the allotment of channels .among the various Canadian broadcasting areas. It. was hoped that thK plan would satisfy the American authorities and thereby re-ve to secure 'heir consent to ihe allotment of additional  channels  to  Canada.
Then, at the instance of the committee, the government of Canada, through the Canadian Legation at Washington, made representations to the United States "government for the necessary additional channels for the national broadcastine: ;y.stom proposed for Canada. The committee's plarK> for the distribution and allotnient^or channels among the Canadian brond-casting areas w?.s an important factor in-promoting these represwfttioiis-^at Washington, and it was-'on the understanding that the,.-xplan would be carried out in its/entirety that the United States government consented to Canada's having the additional channels.
With thi consent secured, the committee mnc'.s its recommendation to parliament for thp-crearon of a national broadcasting �system. Parliament adopted ,the recomniendation and enacted legislation giving effect to it. Under this lcfrslation. namely, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Act, 1932, it became the duty of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, when it. was set up. to carry out the committee's plan for the assignment of channels or wavelengths among the Canadian broadcasting areas, which plan forms part of the agreement with the United States. The Radio Commission had to discharge its duty, nna tha*. :��; all it is doing in connection with the re-assignment, cf channels or � wavelengths to Canadan stations. It is merely putting into operation the plan, cf the parliamentary committee as this plan was fhcorpprated in the agreement with the United States under, which Cahada secured the increased share of the North American broadcast band so essential to an adequate broadcasting service for this country.
The broadcasting situation of, the North American continent will be subject to adjustment at the North American Radio Conference at Mexico City this year. Had Canada failed to carry out her commitments under the (Continued on Page Five)
