Mac Lang to Continue to Reside at Haileybury Has Made No Further State- ment on His Resignation. At his home in Haileybury this week Col. Mac Lang, former chairman of the T. 86 N. 0., had nothing further to say in regard to his recent resignation from the T. 85 N. 0. {He said that he had no special plans for the immediate future, except that he would continue to,reside in the North and that he proposed for the immediate present to take a rest. .At Toronto on Tuesday Premier Hepburn said that Iriction between Col. Lang a] ’d A. H. Oavanagh, the generalfriiaif . r, had .iedito the request ._ AL)-.. vâ€"VVâ€" - for the chairman’s resignation. .The Cabinet. on Friday appointed Mr. Cavanagh to the dual role of general manager andhchairman of thé commis- sion. Premier Hepburn’s statement is as follows:â€" “When this Government took office in July, 1934, the Provincially-owned ‘Temiskaming and [Northern Ontario Railway was not being managed in the best'interests of the Province, as evi- denced n'by - the (Racine Commission which made an investigation into the T. N. Oxafiairs in August...1984. ‘.‘In order to put the railway on a paying basis a reorganization was ef- fected immediately. COlonel Lang was named chief commissioner and due to the fact. that. he had had no previous railway experience, at that time his duties were outlined as industrial com- missioner and general public relation- ship official. “ ' VI- 2-- 'vvv vâ€" on May 6th and 7th. “The Government was, fortunate in securing the services of Mr. A.

President) as one of best operating men in the service of the whole National system. His duties were outlined as being wholly and solely in charge of railway operations. The new set-mp replacing a three-man commission was made up of a commissioner and general manager. “I'he relationship between Colonel Lang and Mr. Cavanagh was very har- monious ior a short period. of time but friction developed when Colonel Lang sought to interfere with the duties assigned to the general manager. Mat- ters drifted from bad to worse despite all eflorts to bring about a better rela- tionship between the two. It finally reached a climax when Mr. Cavanagh reported that he would be no longer re-l sponslble for the management of the; railway and indicated his desire to resign at once. It was then that an effort was made to separate Colonel Lang's duties from the actual railway operations. This he refused to agree to. Hence the Cabinet was faced with the problan of accepting Mr. Gavan- agh's » resignation and scouring some other experienced railway man to carry on his work or to submit a proposal to Colonel Lang, which he ultimately re- Diamond Cutters Sufi er Blockade for Aiding Nazis $38316} W purposes in Bel- glam :nd the Remand: has led Bri- timtocntoflmesaleormghma- mmmm ‘ Leaks in the blockade oomm'ed‘ through put-dune by “straw men” at these 1mm diamond centres in Violationotmrtmmreetrhflm Wunymdsmchmgaa- Amsterdam, April :Lâ€"The gtscoygty '9 Ladies at Boyle and Dome Helping in Red Cross .Work Monthly Contributions to - Shipments from.
