Fay and Firemen E. W. Winfield, both of Calgary, were instantly killed when the cab on the westhound locomotive telescoped by the terrific impact. None the coaches were derailed. Hospital trains were' rushed to the scene from Calgary and Medicine Hat but the injuries to the passengers were mostly in the nature of slight cuts and bruises. An investigation is now in progress to determine the cause of the collision Following is a list of slightly injured passengers from Eastern 'Canada and the United States: , Mrs. 8. E. Thompson, Owen Sound, Ont.; Miss M. Bambridge, Toronto, Ont.; J. R. Gehiand, Woodstock, N.B.; A. W. Gutterson, White Bear Lake, Minn; Mis. H, Jones, Scranton, Pa; Miss M. J.

Baker, Brooklyn, N.Y.; George Watts, Clinton, Ont.; Mrs Longuay, Montreal, Que.; Mrs. J. L Hildebrande, Scattle, Wash. Both the easthound and westhound Imperial Limiteds were running in two sections. The first sections of the train passed each other east of Cal- gary and the meeting for the second sections was fixed at Dalmead, a pass- ing point frequently used by these trains. They met with a terrific crash which was heard by the villagers in the small town of Dalmead, who were aroused from their beds and came running to the assistance of the passengers. None of the baggage, express or passenger cars and sleepers on either of the two trains was derailed and the heavy steel cars prevented telescoping and conse- quent loss of life or injuries to the passengers. Both locomotives, how- ever, were badly damaged, the engine of number one, the westbound train, suffering the most. The locomotive cab was telescoped between the heavy boiler and tender and it was here that Engineer Fay and Fireman Winfield met death at their posts. The baggage coach immediately following was thrown up partially over the top of the tender. Second number one was in charge of Conductor Porter and second num- ber two in charge of Conducto Jamieson who immediately took charge, dispatched messages for as- sistance and quieted the passengers.

E. Osier. The celebration' will take the form of a concerted. drive to promote *"Ca- nadianism". Not only is the local theatre to participate in this move- ment. but every one of the 119 houses which form the backbone of the corporation will end avor to further educate the public on Can- ada. In explaining the methods by which the Famous Players Capadi- an Corporation will promote their scheme Manager Osier gave the Times a brief review of the area covered by the circuit. He stated there are 119 theatres operated throughout the principal cities and towns from Vancouver to Montreal and these institutions are financed by Canadian capital. Over fifteen millions of dollars have been invest- ed. These theatres are all manned by Canadians. Capitol entertainment, known as Canada's finest entertainment, is celebrating its seventh apniversary this year. During the past seven years the business has grown from its infant stages and is now one of the most important industries that Capada has. Referring to the many advance- ments that the theatre industry has mad: during recent years, Mr. Osier stated that it was not long ago that picture houses were scorned upen by practically all classes of people. Today, every type of person, rich and poor attend theatres regularly. Conditions have improved so rapid- ly that entertainment, such as hous- es under the Famous Players Ca- nadian Corporation provides, is now endorsed by members of the medi- cal profession. It is necessary, they claim, that after people have labor- ed all day, for them to indulge in some form of light recreation. The- atres provide this entertainment and recreation and relieve the minds of people from their routine work. During the remaind>r of the year the theatres under the direction of the Famous Players Canadian Cor- poration will strive to provide citi- zens with additional features set- ting forth the ideals of Canadian- jsm. These will include pictures of the Dominion from coast to coast and interesting relative to Canada. Falling in line with the majority of the larger centres the manage- ment of the Regent Theatre will prsat "Oshawa's Fall Fashion Pa- gant." This will run for three successive days, September 19, 240, and 21. This. like other features. will be an added attraction and will be presented prior to the feature presentation TUG REFLOATED Canso, N.S., Sept. 8 The steam- er Robert C.

ARE ACQUITTED ON ASSAULT CHARGE Oshawa Men Were Alleg.d to Have Attacked Samuel Hennick (By Staff Reporter) Whithy, Sept. 8.--Arraigned be fore His Honour, Judge Ruddy, in Division Court yesterday, Peter Kolosofski and Fred Roughly of Oshawa, were acquitted of a chargé of assault and doing grievous bodi- ly harm to Samuel Hennick, the complaintant in the case, also of Oshawa. The trial arose out of a fight which took place on July 26. Hennpick's testimony was to the ef- fect that, on the night in question he called at the home of one Town- sley, who was absent the two de- fendants being on the verandah of the house at the time and that they followed him from the verandah and assaulted him together. The testi- mony of the complaintant's physi- cian was that when examined after the fight Hennick was in a very dejected state of mind and that he bad received some scratches on the face and neck so superficial as te need no attention. The defendant's story was that they had also called at the Town sley house and finding no one home bad attempted to start their car and while still working with it Hennmick came and knocked violen'ly at the door. The two men told him to de- sist and he came down to the ca answering with a profane epithet and attacked Roughly, the smaller of the two men, knocking him out. Kolosoki then came to the aid of bis friend and was also being beat- en when the fighters were separated by Townsley, who was teturning to his home. Townsley took the three into his house to wash themselves and sent Hennick out first. Hennick waited outside and when Kolososki appeared struck him again knocking him down. His Honour in summing up the evidence refused to credit the evi- dence of the complaintant and ae- quitted the two prisoners.

BRITISH TABOR ENDS RELATIONS WITH THE REDS Pass Resolutions Severing Connection With Soviet a: Edinburgh Meeting SUDDEN DEVELOPMENT Moscow Becomes Angry and Makes Reply in Strong Terms London, Sept, 7.--The recent break in relations between the Gov- ernments of Great Britain and Rus- ila has now been followed by a com- plete break between British and Soviet Labor organizations. The General Council of the Trades Union Congress recommended at Edinhurgh today that the Congress should hreak off relations with Soviet leaders, the recommendation being framed in such drastic and definite terms as to cause somewhat of a sensation, Extraordinarily Insulting The decision follows a lon: paign of calumniation by oscow Qf British Labor leaders, and has been directly provoked by a tele- gram to the conference from All- Russia Council of Trade Unions, whose phraseology was revealed hy publication today as "extraordinarily insulting." It talks of "hetrayal" of the Bri- ish general strike. "Continued sabol- age" by the Labor party of the Bril- ish miners' struggle last year, and describes J. H. Thomas, Hicks and Purcell--well-known British Labor leaders--as '"'traitors," and accuses the General Counefl of producing ac- cusations against the Soviet Trade Union as a pretext for breaking off relations. The retort of the Conference to- day is "the telegram speaks for it- self and no comment is necessary, except to state definitely that the Council has come to the conclusion that there is no indication that the All-Russia Council of Trades Unions have any intention whatever of ob- erving conditions absolutely essen- 'ial if the Anglo-Russian Joint Ad- visory Council is to be continued.
