Sturm. contending that May- or Meinzinger should have put the question of bringing employees and the management of Dumarts before the recently appointed In- dustrial Peace Board, "If you can't succeed to get both factions togeth- er then no settlement can be made". he declared. Ald. Sturm also .asscrted that 'if you hadn't attempted to handle the strike situation at Dumarts by yourself (Moinzinger) the trouble would have been ironed out long ago." "When lives are at stake, every- thing should be done to ensure speed," he stated.

"1 am informed," he continued. "that last Sunday when my own son was injured, they were going to take him by the head and feet and roll hun onto the stretcher, despite the fact he had a broken back. I think the Hospital Com- mission has been negligent in the fact that their drivers have not been trained," he asserted. All members of council agreed with Mayor Meinzingor on the question of establishing a central depot, but urged the matter be left in abeyance for a week. Ald. Gor- don Honsberger pointed out that the town of Waterloo has a sizeable interest in the Kitchener-Waterloo hospital ambulance, while Ald.

Alfred Mustin, labor Imember of council asserted that the chief magistrate did not go to Ottawa us a member of the labor delegation. He said the mayor should not be asked to pay the ac- count out of his own pocket, point- ing out that the strike at Dumarts concerns city council as it affects every resident of the city. the government takes some action to settle the Dumart dispute "I'll withdraw my contribution to War Savings along with the 5.000 work- ers in the city". Ald. A.

"1 am forced to say that some members of this city council have been biased and lenient toward the Du- mart Company", he continued “I can] help but say that", In making this statement. the chief magistrate recalled that "cer- tain" members of council at a re- cent meeting declined to vote to have the government establish a Board of Arbitration to settle the strike at Dumarts He charged that not only Hon. Peter Heenan but Hon.

Ald. Cuudick reprimanded May- or Morrzingcr for his reference to withdrawal of support from War Savings stamps and certificates. He asserted such a statement would have “repercussions across Cana- da". I would take the same view of the matter as I have, I am as anxious as anvonc chu, to have the trouble st-ttlcd". Answering the chief magistrates accounts that he (Brown) audited Dumarts' books, Ald. Brown Mat- ed: "it wouldn't matter one hoot whether Dumarts is a client or not, Chairman of the finance commit- tee, Ald. Brown to reply, changed chairs with Aid Sturm. He then adamantly denied "on oath" mak- ing such statement to Mayor Meinzinger. He charged that "the mayor Is hitting below the belt". Aid. James Washburn charged that Mayor Meinzinger had been "one-sided" in dealing with the situation. In reply, Mayor Meinzinger charged that Ald. J. G. Brown told me twice, once at the board and once at a hotel that he was lean- ing towards the company. Aid. Brown said that if he had his way he would keep Dumarts' doors locked". declared the mayor. "If you don't want to pay my account. it's OK. with me, but as chief magistrate of this city I'm not going to sit here and see the only suffer," declared Mayor Mein- zinger. “I've contributed a lot more than $38 to the union and will probably contribute $100 or so more ..

Gordon suggested that Waterloo submit a written re- quest, Henderson replied: "You are only putting this thing off. Aren't you satisfied that our re- quest is reasonable?" "In fairness to you, Mr. Graber," declared the Waterloo chairman. "I don't think that's fair. We are asking for something that is reli- giously right. Why can't we arrive at a figure tonight?" If Kitchener would be losing by lowering Wa- terloo's rate, then at your present charges to your own consumers. you must be losing over the entire City of Kitchener and Waterloo is carrying the load for the whole Twi_n City."
