Labor unions here which stood united, just one year ago, in the greatest industrial battle Canada ever witnessed, are en- gaged today in a “civil war.” “War to the finish” between the One Big Union, composed of the radi- cal labor elements that seceded from the Trades and Labor council when the general strike collapsed, and the reorganized. couricil, composed of the Conservatives who adhere to the in- ternational trade union movement. has been declared one year, almost to the day, since the so-called “rev- olution of 1919” came to an end. Before next winter, it is expected one or the other of the divisions will have conquered. Federation organizers ‘are being sent into every O. B. U. camp in the west “Yo expose the fallacy of the One Big Union theory and to win back to the council the few unions that have been misled into seceding.” Rank and File Embraced The O. B. U. has its Workers’ De- fense committee, created originally to raise funds for the defense of the strike leaders who are now in prison, but now the propaganda division > the radicals’ union. At regular union meetings and at mass meetings, the war is being wag- ed. At O. B. U. meetings the In- ternational speakers are subjected to heckling, as are the O. B. U. speakers at Internaftonal meetings, but on the whole the rank and file is disposed 4o give the rivals a fair hearing. a “No Yanks,” Is Cry The cry of the O. B. U. organ- izers is, “No domination by the Yan- kees.” Their argument is that there is no*reason why the Canadian labor should‘ be subject to the orders of in- ternational unions, officered almost entirely by Americans and dominated by the American local unions. The argument of the Trades, and Labor Coungjl debates is that the la- bor movement must be international to be strong enough to deal with or- ganizations of Whos an which are att pecial international. hey answer the O.

WHEN YOU ASK FOR Ss BUTTER 4 NORTHERN “It was a,cat who made me realize an eyelid.” * Actress Savs Cat Taught Her Beauty of Movement and Re- pose BY DJUNA BARNES New York, Sept. 2.—Have you ever felt you lacked a certain grace? Have you ever wondered if you had somehow missed knowing all the] secret of that mystic thing—charm? Go get you a cat, fair lady, and be a humble student at its feet. Perhaps you already own a cat, but if you don't, you should. No great woman in history thought to get along without one. So says Fania Marinoff, the actress wife of the author, Car] Van Vechten. Her husband has just written a, book all about the cat, so she ought to know. “Cats are particularly indispensable ‘omen who simply must exert their says Fania, “if you are in a business where charm is not needed (and I know of no such business) why | you can afford to negelct the feline clement, but not in any other case. ! to c All Learned from Cat “The women in the past, the great ‘ens, the great lovers, the great rid- ;dles and the great intellectuals, have, all of them, learned the trick from the house cat. i “Hypatia may have picked up a book ;oNn economics, but its a sure bet that | Cleopatra’ and Madame du Barry pick- led up a tabby. 3 “Watch the ‘smart’ woman—she is| invariably a cat lover. “When a man wants to describe a woman who has exerted some indis- crible influence on his life ,he will tear his hair, make a few inane gestures, and suddenly his face will light up— ‘feline’ he will ejaculate, ‘like a tiger,, you know.’ “Why?” she was asked. “Watch its| long deliberate move- ments, the mysterious languid -eyes, eyes composed of some kind of cold; intolerably beautiful fire, its soft paws, hiding the terrible and swift claws, the apparently gentle purring that ever go slightly distuybs the shining, immaculate fur. “Was it not because of these things that they made the Cat god in Egypt! ages ago, and was it not because of| these same qualities, that they drove | cats out of Puritan England ,as witch-| es were driven out of Salem? “And are not black cats a sign of ill-luck, and white of impending good | fortune.” . Value of an Eyelid Fania’s husband had to read 3000 books or so on cats before he knew enough about them to attempt a book, but Fania could have told -him if he had listened to her, because, as she says e “I have lain on the floor very quiet- ly, making no movement, showing no sign of life, just to watch a cat rise up, yawn, and begin pacing. It was a cat who taught me how to rise up, how to yawn, how to pace. It was a cat who made me realize what can be done with an eyclid. A beautiful wo- man should have no swift movements —except—” and here Fania Marinoff half closed her eyes—“except when she is ready to drop the paw. “The cat is called the only domesti- cated animal who has refused to be domestic. Because of this, perhaps, it has made civilization possible—a civil- ization that could be at once haughty and bending. “The cat has taught us what we know of poise, of beauty of line; of symmetry, and of repose, that repose which is never weariness; that laz' ness that is never rest. “And,” she finished, “no matter how beautiful and attractive you may be, a cat will never teach you anything you cannot use.” EAST SIDE OF NEW YORK FINDS 1 BY LORRY? A, JACOBS, XN A. Staff Correspondent. Sept. 2—Slowly, sadly, but surely, New York's East side is beginning to ken to the fact that no real prosperity has come as the j result of high wages. The high cost of living, the mad j tendency of even the thrifty East Siders to spend easily earned money | for extravagant clothes and pleasures and the already felt pinch of the slowing down in domestic trade or- ders have all combined to bring to what can be done with LIVING HIGHER| their “day,” and that the world was about to lay its weuith at their feet. Had Their Flyer “Wages are high,” they have ar- gued with themselves. “They can't go down. We will have our flyer and settle down.” They have had their flyer. They have worn silk shirts, fur coats and much finery. But now the silk shirts and fur wages are no higher than they were a year ago and the cost of living if anything -has gone up. The Kast Side of today is not ap- preciably any different than it was five years ago. Much costly food is displayed, but malnutrition cases are just as many at ihe clin High rents are being paid but housing con- ditions, if anything, are worse. Factory girls are dressed in silks and stevedores in tailormade gar- ments but there is just as much filth ; as ever in the strects Sales Drop Oit “No,” said a Canal street shop- keeper to me. “They do rot buy so well now. They ke their heads when I show them the silk dres marked down to $2 mer they did not think good enough. “Yes, I am getting high prices,’ said a Tenth avenue curb fruit dea!- er. “But I sell so little I do not make enough to live on.” And so it appears that New York's Hast Side is about to settle down to some real saving, and forget the il- lusions' that came with the flood of work and high wages during the war j and after the armistice. ats are nearly worn out,} S that last sum- | s ;a levy of about nine mills to ‘ASSERTS FALSE TAX REDUCTION PROMISES MADE E. Packard Asserts State Taxes Are Up 209 Percent Rather Than Lower ‘Declaring that false promises have been made as to the amount of the forthcoming state tax levy, F. E. Pack- lard, assistant attorney general and former member of the tax commission, said today: “It will be recalled that George E.

Practically every state institution and practically every de- partment of the state government has a more or, less healthy deficit, which will take hundreds of thousands of Wollars to wipe out. In addition to fthis, there will kave to be levies for interest and sinking funds, and the soldiers’ bonus levy. One cannot coi ‘ceive of an adequate levy of less than two mills; the re-constructed levy last year was 24,125 mills. “IM any discussion as to a reduced i i iinto consideration the new sources of revenue.

Sel- dom does a star of such Broadway. fame as Miss Cowl’s standing make a tour at this time of the year, and for this reason, coupled with many others, the engagement is of ultra interest. Throughout her entire Pa- cific Coast tour Miss Cowl has com- piled boxoffice receipts never before heard of for any American star, and this goes for David Warfield, Maude Adams, and others of this notable circle: “Smilin’ Through” is the name of Miss Cowl’s play. It is a serious dra- ma, yet saturated with the sort of comedy that reveals Miss Cowl’s ver- satile art, and one in which the love- ly lady plays a dual role, being the heroine of two separate and distinct romances.
