"LABOR GROUP PLANS CONTINUED PROTEST TO CITY AND OTTAWA," Toronto Globe. August 4, 1933. Page 9. --- Labor Representative's Inclusion on Relief Commission Urged -- RAIL WORKERS BACKED --- At last night's meeting of the Toronto District Trades and Labor Council in the Labor Temple, the delegates decided unanimously "to continue to protest" alike to Mayor Stewart and the City Council "at the non-inclusion of a representative of organized labor on the Civic Commission inquiring into relief and welfare work in Toronto," and also to the Federal Minister of Railways and Labor in Ottawa "in regard to railway workers being asked to bear an undue proportion of the load arising out of the shrinking transportation revenues on Canadian railways." Described as "Deadwood." In the latter connecton, Delegate A. Evans, Ontario Lodge, 619, Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America, drew attention to the fact that "during the depression years there have been over 23, railway workers put out of service, and the wages of those retained reduced by 1 per cent., many of whom are working part-time. A recent newspaper cartoon dealing with that situation intimated that the systems were getting rid of that much 'dead-wood." Apparently the welfare of those workers takes second place to that of the bond holders and the preferred shares. These economies may or may not have been effective, but certainly they have reduced the purchasing power of the people."
Vice-President Dan Noble supplemented that statement and declared: "The position of rail shopmen today is something like that of certain firms in Toronto, to whom Mayor Stewart referred recently, when he pointed cut that the wage-levels were deplorable that, if not raised, the Control Board might have to name them, in the light of the fact that the Welfare Department felt compelled to permit certain employees to continue to draw relief supplies, in addition to their wages. "If care is not taken," concluded delegate Noble, "the railway mechanics will be in a similar plight."
Musical Group to March. John Sutherland, of the Demon--- on the forthcoming annual Labor Day Parade, intimating that a fifty-piece band of the Musical Protective Association will march this year. In same connection, delegate Charles Bal stated: "It should be distinctly understood that this annual parade is conducted by the international trade unions of this city; that the marchers are headed by the Mayor and the civic authorities: and that we will tolerate no contact of any kind what-ever with Communist or near-Communist groups that are not native to nor will they thrive on Canadian soil."
Applause greeted this latter assertion.
Three delegates to the forthcoming Labor Congress of Canada (Windsor) are to represent the Trades Council.
The pre-delegate expenses must not exceed an aggregate of $100, and the representatives will be chosen next meeting from the following nominees: W. Genovese, J. W. Buckley,J. Noble, D. W. Kennedy, C. Locks,C. Ball. W. Dunn, J. Jenkinson, and E. E. Woollen.

canto 7 spoilers under
I have a fun theory-ish thing I've been brewing up and that is that refraction railways serve as the actual thematic connections between cantos. I can't speak much for the first two railways, but railway 3 had the 'mirrorclock orangeroad' theme before going into canto 6, in T corp.
And more recently, railway 4, masquerade. Beyond the obvious connection in name alone to the bloodfiends in la Manchaland all wearing masks, there's also some really interesting parallels between it and Canto 7 with the names of the first and last stops being banquet and feast respectively, the envy peccatulum who shallowly try and replicate humanity, dreaming electric sheep which reflects a question on humanity...
And THEN there's the King in Binds.
The king bound to his throne, decaying. And yet not physically trapped, as we see when he chooses to leave of his own volition to battle us, but rather presumably bound out of some sense of duty. Who throws his vassals at us in the first stage of the fight before choosing to take things into his own hands.

Hello Limbus Gamers
Why did I title this post that.
Anyway, yeah, it's that time again. I'm gonna analyze the RR4 trailer. Some of you may be asking why, but. You'll see.
Oh boy you'll see.
Starting off, we get a very brief animation of the nodes of the new Railway. And by brief, I do mean, this shit speeds past you like instantly.
Tumblr media
They even make sure to not show the whole thing all at once to make it harder to count. I did count though. There are thirteen of these nodes in this animation. This might be subject to change, but we shall see.
Tumblr media
Then we get the title card. We're back to single word Railway names from before RR3, and in the background we get to see some silhouettes. We're gonna learn what they are during the trailer itself, but you can already tell they're the abnos from the Battle Pass E.G.O - Dreaming Electric Sheep, The King in Binds, and Portrait of a Certain Day.
We also see silhouettes of some Sinners, and while it's hard to make out with the text in the way, I'm pretty sure there's N Corp Don, N Corp Faust, and BL Yi Sang in there.
Tumblr media
Now THIS is interesting - a new Railway gimmick! Not just one gimmick though, but after throwing the screenshot into Google Translate, it turns out we might be dealing with two!
First, the one that doesn't need translating to figure out - the Backup gimmick. I believe it's shown a bit clearer in the next scene, so I won't be speculating on it too much yet, but from my guess it's a replacement for a similar mechanic in RR3, where you could throw another team of Sinners at an Abnormality after your initial team of 6 died to finish the Abno off from where you left it at.
That's not the most interesting part though, this is.
Tumblr media
Our Sinners are also going to be recieving individual buffs in this Railway, potentially based on selection order, considering PM has been pushing more and more for the selection order to matter with the recent addition to the E.G.O Gifts.
If I'm correct and the buffs are based on selection order instead of being completely random, we can see the buffs are as follows:
Selection 1 - Identity Level +2
Selection 2 - SP Gain Efficiency +3
Selection 3 - too blurry for google to translate
Selection 4 - Defense Level +2
Selection 5 - Max Speed +2 (the 5 came from the semi-transparent level 45 number lmao)
Selection 6 - too blurry for google to translate
Selection 7 - Final Power +1
Selection 8 - Damage taken -10%
Selection 9 - this one i'm not too sure on but it might be Aggro +5 (the 45 came from the semi-transparent level 45 number lmao)
Selection 10 - scene cuts away too quickly to read it
In addition to that, some IDs (primarily the Backup selections but also for some reason Faust) get a head start of +10 SP when they join the fight, which is a very nice way to help off-set the issue of having to gain sanity in harder fights to even attempt winning clashes.
Tumblr media
Next scene shows us what seems to be the Backup mechanic. It's an admittedly very brief shot that barely shows us anything of how it works, but considering everyone's low sanity and Ishmael's stagger, I'm guessing what happened is two units died and the backup units were put in there in their stead.
An interesting gimmick that honestly feels more lore-accurate than the current system LMAO.
Tumblr media
Next up, we get our excerpts from the new Abno Logs. This one, based on the background, is for Portrait of a Certain Day. It's a bit hard to tell who wrote this Log based on the English translation, but it does give an interesting insight onto the Abnormality and by extention its E.G.O, Bygone Days.
Something about taking advantage of deaths through parading mementos of the dead in connection to Yi Sang and Gregor, huh... Gregor is the one who gave Aya's mask to Yuri as a memento, and then proceeded to keep that mask as a memento of Yuri. On the other hand, while Yi Sang personally didn't keep mementos of the League around, both Dongbaek and Dongrang had a strong emotional attachment to the last remaining picture of the League all together. There's something there I think.
Tumblr media
Then we get to see the excerpt from Dreaming Electric Sheep's Abno Log. Again, not very clear who's writing this from the English translation. And this is a very interesting excerpt too! This is the clearest connection we get between the Abno and the 'Dreaming' part of its name! I feel like I'd need to see the whole Log to get a better idea of what is being conveyed here, but it is good to see we're getting to see some new angles on the Abno.
Tumblr media
BIG SHEEP! It's notable that it's attacking Faust.
Tumblr media
And there's Portrait, in all its low bitrate glory! Note that it's attacking Yi Sang.
What follows is two more shots, one of each of the Abnos, and then...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It might hard to see in that glorious 240p low bitrate, but yes. That is, in fact, N Corp Don and N Corp Faust, covered in a purple glow, attacking the Sinners.
And then, the bombshell.
Tumblr media
Guys.
Guys.
These are Envy Peccatula.
Envy Peccatula are doppelgangers.
DO YOU REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS FOR SIN ANALYSIS??? Envy is one of those sins we got barely anything on due to its lack of Peccatula, and yet here we are, RR4 gave us a fucking blessing.
Anyway, back to talking about the actual fights themselves, I believe we're going to be dealing with faction-themed Envy Peccatula stages. The one we see in the trailer is N Corp, complete with a relevant background, and in the in the title card we can see Blade Lineage Yi Sang, implying we could get a BL-themed node as well. Notably, these are both factions that have enough IDs to form a full team.
The only other full team ID factions we have are W Corp and Liu Association, so these are also contenders for Envy Peccatula nodes. Seven Association is also possible, as they are only missing one ID from being a full six ID team. We could also potentially get a fraud Pequod Trio that's made up of the Pequod IDs, which would be really funny, but I'm not sure how likely that is.
Back to the trailer itself.
Tumblr media
We finally get the Abno Log excerpt for The King in Binds, and it's very evocative in my opinion. The poetic language makes me think that Yi Sang is the one writing this Log.
This seems like an excerpt that's being used to describe a game mechanic - The King in Binds might have a mechanic where he tears himself free from his throne if certain conditions are met. Very interesting considering what we know about the abno.
Tumblr media
What follows is some extremely quick and hard to see snippits of The King in Binds attacking Yi Sang. Yes, this is the best frame I could get from it.
Aaaand that's about it!
All in all, extremely excited about the potential Envy lore and fighting against out own units, and I guess the abnos are there too.

"Strike Decision Halted For New Association, Say Union Executives," Toronto Globe. August 15, 1933. Page 1. ---- Organization Would Render Action, if It Is Considered Necessary, More Effective, Officials Believe ----- (Canadian Press Despatch.) Montreal, Aug. 14. - No strike will be called by any section of railway labor until the new co-operative association, representative of all types of labor, has been formed, or until the several groups of men have brought their individual negotiations with the railways to such a point where declaration of a strike would be advisable and legal, it was learned today from union. officials here.
For weeks leaders of the various railway labor groups have been negotiating with read executives in an attempt to avoid a second 10 per cent, reduction in wages demanded by both the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways. The running trades have progressed to the point of distributing to their membership at large -about 24,000 from coast to coast-a ballot seeking to learn opinion of the membership on the advisability of calling a strike. Other sections of labor have not yet reached that advanced stage.
From the labor point of view, the negotiations came to a definite head when, on Friday, leading representatives of railway employees announced a co-operative association, comprising all types of railway labor organization. would be formed for the purpose of fighting further 10 per cent. cut and improving the conditions of the membership generally. The new association, the details of which are being discussed here by labor leaders, has not yet been named.
Decision to postpone calling of strikes by individual sections of labor was taken, it was understood, to enable the association to call a general strike if necessary, and thus render more effective its demands.

Just some thoughts about future RR
Today I finished this Canto. I liked it, but I noticed that there's were no 400 Roses as an abnormality fight. Probably, it will go straight into RR5. But I wonder what will be the theme of this RR?
RR1 was just the beginning o the whole things, so it was just an attempt of creating it
Most RR2 was just long and tedious, like most of the Canto 4
RR3 have the theme of the clocks, that parallels with Dante (Still don't know if it has any other connections with Canto 5. But I guess it was learning from past mistakes of making new content)
RR4 was just thematically and aesthetically close to Canto 6 with all the manor, nobles, thunder and sinking. Also, we got Envy Peccatulas which also the parallel to Mirror technology used by Ring
What will RR5 will be? Considering experience of Canto 7 it probably will be bloodfest of unbreakable coins. Which frightens me a bit, considering how hard of Dungeon was the end of Canto 7. But is this really it? Maybe there will be something else inspired from the narrative of the Canto? Or maybe I'm just overthinking after recent experience of finishing Canto 7
Tumblr media
Also, here's the derpy sketch of 400 Roses. I love the silly face (.0.) it makes
