...from what it had been five months earlier. Several plans for settlement were offered and rejected by one side or the other. The attitude which dictated the plans offered by each and the reasons for their rejection may be briefly set down as follows: The miners wanted to make sure that there would be no reduction in wages and at least some chance of an increase in wages; that no system of arbitration would be set up which either now or later might reduce wages. Their check-off demand was retained, probably as a trading point. The length...
...that, as the result of Canada's recent "freak election" (TIME, Nov. 9), Premier King can muster only 101 Liberals, thus leaving the Government, theoretically, without a majority.

However, from this deadlock, when settled, will undoubtedly result a settlement which will be permanent, and avoid annual...
...Until the recording tape had been taken out yesterday morning," said Professor Mather, "we were not quite sure whether the shock was an explosion of some sort or whether it was of geologic origin. Now, however, there is no doubt that it was an internal disturbance, located near Medford. There is no truth, however, in the supposition that it was due to a frost crack. While it is often possible for the weather to affect the earth's peace, in this instance it has not been the case...
