The Democrgts from the beginning of this latest filibuster have charged the Republicans with hiring thugs and gunmen and with setting Thurs- day's gas bomb in the ite cham- ber.

MAIL PILED HIGH IN CANADIAN STRIKE None Delivered Since Wednesday After Walkout and Con- stion Grows. BUSINESS MEN HAMPERED Receive and Dispatch Few Letters. Truck Many to U. 8. By Consolidated Press. TORONTO, Ont., June 21.—The postal iservices of ‘Toronto, Montreal and other Canadian centers have been completely demoralized by the strike. Since Wednesday afternoon not a single piece of personal correspond- ence has been delivered or collected. Mail boxes on the streets are bulg- ing with letters and all available space at post offices is piled with un- sorted and undelivered mail. Stenog- raphers are enjoying a fine holiday. There are no letters to answer. How- ever, an unusual number of grams and night letters have to be attended to. Keep Mail to U. S. Going. “It is perfectly delightful,” said the correspondence manager of one busi- ness today. I haven't had a letter to answer for two days and there is no use writing any.

C., SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1924 Boy Scouts Take Star Radio Sets Into Homes of Lonely and Ill Today banks are the chief sufferers, but “remittance men” are getting anxious. In order to keep mail with the United States moving, a number of firms have arranged to have mail forward- ed to Lewiston and other border points, whence it is brought to To- ronto by courier. Mail from the Ro- tary convention meeting_in Toronto has been conveyed to Buffalo by mo- tor truck every two hours. The strike was precipitated by the action of the civil service commission of Canada, which, when asked to re- vise civil service salaries to get rid of the high cost of living bonus and put salaries on a permanent basis, started on the postal department. After investigation it recommended a scale which in many instances re- sulted in slightly lower payments to postal employes, whereas the men wanted increases. The government stood aloof for awhile, placing the responsibility on the commission, but it finally offered to continue thé bonus scale until a later date. Before the offer was made the strike occurred in Toronto, Mon- treal and elsewhere. In most places it already has petered out. Mrs. Vanderlip’s Father Dies. ELIZABETH, N.
