AMERICAN LABOUR.
MONTREAL, June 15. Addressing the American Federation of labour, Mr. Ogden, a fraternal delegate of the British Trade Union Congress, advocated an intentional organisation of workers of the world in order to further their aims and prevent another world war. Mr. Gompers declared it as pitiable that the United States had not ratified the League of Nations. If the League covenant were submitted to the American people without entangling questions it would be overwhelmingly adopted.

GUILDFORD'S 1,000 HOUSES
-SCHLMI.
Situated on the Hog's Back, the high ground above the town of Guildford, and commanding views over a rolling country as far as the Crystal Palace and the Berkshire hills, Onslow garden village was begun on May 1 with the laying of foundation stones by the Countess of Onslow and Mr. H.A. Powell.. Under the scheme, which is on co-partner- ship line, 200 houses are to be erected by September next year. Altogether a. thousand houses are to be built, averaging about five to the acre. Three hundred acres are set aside for small holdings and allotments. Public houses will be excluded. The estate covers 546 acres, and the Guildford Corporation and the Earl of Onslow have each invested £20,000.
The Countess of Onslow said she „had lived for many years next door to the garden city at Hampstead, and could speak from-personal ex perience of the great benefit these schemes were to those who spend the day in town and came home to pure: air and healthy surroundings in the evening.
