ET ---- >>> C2 ESSERE rl i] H ! » Hd ! fer of Company as to Board of Conciliation With the Men Returning to Work at the New Scale Pending Board's Decision ~--Matter Being Threshed Out Today : ---- Things 'happened thick and fast after three o'clock yesterday, With the storm clouds disappearing, and with the hope that the strike would be brought to a speedy termination, the strikers at a great mass meet- ing held in the Armouries, tempor- arily refused to allow their claims to be a matter of arbitration be- tween the representative of the In- dustrial Disputes Investigation Act, and their own and General Motors representatives, with a chairman to be appointed by this Board of Ar- bitration, . M. S. Campbell, chief coneill- ation officer of the Department ' of Labor, addressed the meeting, and informed the strikers, sym- pathizers and supporters that crowded the spacious Armouries, that the management of General Motors had agreed to take back the strikers in a body at the new rates, and let their demands be geferred to a conciliation board. 1f the hoard thought that the wage vate of the trimmers, and the Chevrolet and Pontiac Assembly workers should be increased they would be paid the difference in the yates from the time that they re- turned, to make up the shortage. This offer followed eonferences with Mr. Campbell and the strike committee, and Mr. Campbell and H. A, Brown. A meeting was called for the afternoon . at three o'clock, but finding that i the New Martin Theatre would be i unable to accommodate the crowds, r, Li 1}. telegraphed to Of- awh to obtain permission to use the Armouries and as the answer was not received until late, the «meeting did not get under way un- til five o'clock, o ditt and well wishers, and as bd vi The decision of he strikers came like a homb- shell into the hopes of their sup- e strikers did not return this ofning, the situation has now be- 'some acute, Meeting at Park a Prior to the meeting in the Ar- mories the crowd repaired to Alex- andra Park, where they were again regaled with the latest from the vealms of Communism, bs the not- od Red oratprs, Messrs.

In the mopifig the stampers walked out, an@ although it was stated that the entire plant bad actually walked out, later dd- vices have it that only half the stamping plant went on strike. The export department, were also depleted - of about 150 workers, early in the afternoon. Trimming yoom girls, girls of the wiring de- ent, and the greater part of maintenance department, also joined the ranki of the sympathiz- ers of the strikers. It is estimat- ed that there are today at least 8,000 men, idle. These men are the original strikers, the trimmers. the Cheyrglet- and Poptiac assem- bly mep who later joined them, the mapy - 'sympathizers, together with the great number forced to Femain inactive through lack of work. +# 5 .. Parade Grows The jJargest and best organized ade since the inauguration of Be strike, was held about four o'clock yesterday. Starting from the park the strikers came down Bimcoe street, along King, and fin- ally paraded past the General Mo- tors office building. Three thou- sand men girls comprised the parade, with 2° band' leading way, and r pipe band about the centre of the column. with all the necessary adjuncts such as banners and shrieking au- tomobile horns, the strikers com- pelled attention from the outset the march. People lined the when the sounds of the band was heard, and the em- ployees of the G.M.C. thronged the ows for a glimpse of the par- p. Some enterprising employes 'd an ideal spot on the roof of building. After such a show of strength ft seems a pity that he strikers showed such a display weakness in jodoment. at the resting at the Armouries later on.

This disease accounts for three- fourths of the quarantine now ef- fective in 355 of the city's homes. Seven cases Of scarlet fever are reported, but the situation is not at all serious. An increase is no- ticed in the number of chickenpox cases, which now are second on the list with 64, and a close check is being kept to see that no small- pox cases are being diagnosed as this milder disease, There is only one smallpox case in the city so far, however, and no more ara expected.

Refuse New Scale Many questions were fired at Mr. Campbell at the Armouries meeting yesterday, and two or three men expressed the view that they would mot return to work at the mew rates while their claims were being considered by a concizi- ation board, because they did mot trust the corporation to adhere to its agreement. This statement was made the subject of dispute and is probably ome of the prime reasons that the strikers took their inexplicable move and turned dowam the conciliatory gestures of the General Motors manazement, and Mr. Campbell. The latter was very much disappointed at the attitude that the strikers assumed at the meeting, and considers that much of the good work dome during the day was wasted, because of their action. ---- ( (Supplied Stock Bell Telephone ,, 1 Brazilian B.C.

Under regis- tered agreement with the govern- ment, Whitby was allowed to draw gravel from the pit for municipal purposes at the rate of five cents per cubic yard. Now that the township has purchased the pit it has barred " e gagtes upon the town. Whithy's position in the matter has several times been outlined in coun- cil by Reeve Jackson, who contends that an agreement entered upon be- tween the corporation and the gov- ernment concerning the town's right to the gravel should shand good no matter to whom the pit might be sold. Under this agreement the town was supposed to build a road into the pit which it did. The township's contention . that the municipality broke the agreement when two local contractors obtained gravel is not correct as these men secured the necessary permission from the gov- ernment, The purpose of the dcle- gation to the township council is to open up discussion between the two representative bodies on the subject which might lead to some- under standing, GITIENS COMPLAIN OF MUDDY STREETS Some Thoroughfares Are Almost Impassable--- Many Protest (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 30.--The Mayor, members of the council and the town municipal offices have heen deluged with complaints from rate- payers during the last few days concerning the muddy condition of certain side streets in the town. In some places it is almost impos- sible for a motor car to go as the road is so soft that the wheels he- come mired in oozing goo. It is then that the horse shows his su- periority over his much speedier rival in at least one respect for horse-drawn milk carts and bread wagons are not held up by any street. But motorists are not the omy ones who have cause to grumble for what about the poor house- wives who see their nice lean floors tracked up with earth brought into the home upon ine shoes of husband, son, or daugh- ter. Few are they who can walk about these early spring days with- out picking up some dirt. As the town controls the streets the town is naturally held respons- ible for this state of 'affairs and many are the suggestions received as to the measures which should be taken to insure improvement. But it must be borne in mind that similar conditions exist at the pre- sent time throughout other towns and cities the breadth of Ontario. Paved streets alone are unafiect- eed. It is too early in the season for gravelling and grading and as has been pointed out to the Times, the road beds are too soft to allow for the use of the log. In two weeks time, however, the situation will be greatly changed as the moisture will drain away permi't- ing the roads to harden. A gas-saving divice -- don't get married. --Judge.

Twenty-five tests were made during the month, and it is hoped that by the end of the year a much larger percent- age of the cows providing the city's milk supply, will be réport- ed free from any T.B. taint. Other items of interest are con- tained in the report, which reads: My work during the month of March made necessary a total of 65 visits, 57 of them outside the city limits. Of these, 37 were made to the several slaughter houses, when a total of 224 animals were slaughtered, representing 80 cattle, 32 calves, 110 hogs, and 2 lambs. Five of the cattle slaughtered showed slight evi- dence of disease, three of them with' T.B. Lesions of the liver, the other two with adhesions of liver, with diaphragm. The quality was up to the usual standard of ex- cellence as a whole, though many of them were extra good. Twénty visits were made to a like number of dairy farms, for in. spectional purposes, where condi- tions were found fairly satisfactory and the cattle coming through the winter in nice condition. Eight of the visits were made to the city dairies for the gather- ing of milk samples for Bacteria Count and Butter Fat per cent. and for the making of Sediment Tests, Of the latter, 71 tests were A very limited few of these were not up to the standard required, and in all these cares the owners were immediately noti- fied. Twenty-five T.B. tests were made during the month. This line of the work will be pushed as fai as possible this year, when we hope to he able to report a much larger percentage of the cows, pro- ducing the city's milk supply, to be free from any evidence of a T.B, taint, in our next annual report, WORKER SAYS AVERAGE WAGES MONTH $75.50 Gives Statement of Earnings For Six Months, Octo- ber to March An employee of the Pontiac Chas- sis Assembly department has given The Oshawa Daily Times a state- ment of his wages for the six months from and including October up to the end of March, showing that he aver- aged $75.50 a month during that per- iod, The statement is given as fol- lows: October, $46 and $45 ..

Total Monthly Average-- OSHAWA WORKFR INJURED IN CRASH Highland Creek, March 29.-- George Davis of Port Whitby was seripusly injured in an automobile accident at West Hill. west of High- land Creek, on the Kingston Hizh- way, about 5 o'clock this afternoon, when, in driving toward Toronto, be failed to make a turn on the roadway and crashed into the ditch. The car in its tumble shear- ed off four posts of the guard rail and a telephone pole before it came to a stop upside down in the ditch. The driver was dragged from under the wreckage by wit- nesses of the accident. Davis, who claimed to be a dele- gate of the striking workers of the General Motors plant at Oshawa, was on the way to a meeting at the Toronto Labor Temple. To Find STRIKERS DECIDE | T0 FORM ONION (Continued from page 1) and the strike committee were con- vinced that their claims and de- mands would be best adjusted through the proposed Board of Conciliation, Hon. Peter Heenan conferred with the business com- mittee of the strikers this morn- ing, and the results of these con- ferences will be know this after- noon, Liquor Store Closed The liquor store remains closed today, and D. B, Hanna, "Strong Man' of the Liquor Commission, said last niglit "that the less lig- uor the men get when out on a strike, the better for all concern- ed. We intend to go along from day to day closing the store or keeping it open, as we see fit, until the strike is over. We understood the workmen were paid yesterday and we did not wish them to waste their money." Repudiate Communists The executive committee repudi- ated strongly the statements made yesterday . that the communists were in any way connected witn them, and gave out a statement, absolving the strikers from any dealings with the "Red' party, "Jimmy' Simpson, who was sched- uled to speak this morning, said when approached at the meeting at the park yesterday, that he was incensed at the fact that men of the stamp of MacDonald and Men- zies were allowed to speak to the strikers. An all-Canadian union was deprecated by Mr. Simpson, who claimed that it "would not 'ast a minute." The largest gathering that the strikers have yet held jammed its way into the Armouries this morn- 'ng. It was announced by the chairman that there were "spot- ters' in the crowd, and the strik- ers feeling resentment at the fact that these detectives had been em- ployed, as they have forty deputies hound over to keep law and order, finally discovered one of them and he was given a few minutes to make a hasty exit, and did same. The courteous treatment of the girls has been one of the pleasing fertures of the strike, and in the morning meeting they were assign- ed to chairs well up in the front. Reporters were even the subject of regard, marking a reversal in the attitude of some of the strikers, and they plied their nefarous trade without fear or favor in the morn- ing meeting. One of the body room workers told the Daily Times that he had worked for 98 hours in the past two weeks, and had received his pay cheque yesterday for $59.11, He was working on piece work. - He claimed that he had worked at body work for the last ten years. This amount was in- clusive of the amount extracted for savings. Against Communists A wire was received from the manager of the Amalgamated Clo'hing Workers of America, To- ronto, which was worded as fol- lows: "In the name of 1,700 or- ganized clothing workers of Toron- to, I send you congratulations on the splendid stand you have taken and hope you will succeed. Don't permit Communists to exploit you. Fraternally yours, Charles A. To- vey, Manager of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, Recent Death ELIZABETH GLOVER North Oshawa, Mar. 29. -- The death occurred this morning of Elizabeth Glover, of this district, after a lingering illness.

The annual general meeting of the Oshawa Amateur Baseball Association is scheduled for to- morrrow afternoon, at two o'clock, in the Balmoral Hotel, Bowman- villle. Representatives will be present from each club in the dis- trict. Dr. IL. E. Hubbell, secretary- treasurer of the association, points out that clubs have only uatil to- morrow noon to have nominations of the Quebec final, Sherbrooke or i Montreal High. for officers and proposed amend- ments 10 the constitution in his Annual Meetin District Baseball Assoc'n. In Bowmanville Saturday Oshawa bands. Only one set of nomin- ations has as yet been received, but it is hoped that others will be forthcoming. A proposed amendment to the constitution that will probably create considerable comment is that no player be allowed to play softball during the time that his team jis in the running in the hard ball series. Other amend- ments, relating to the annual meetings, etc, have been handed in, . Out Powers Many Complaints Have Been Lodged and Board is Anx- ious to Find Some Way of Overcoming Nuisance in Various Parts of the City The smoke nuisance in this city received considerable attention by the Board of Health at its regular meeting last night, The members seemed at a loss to know what power they had to act in the mate ter, and finally it was left in the hands of Dr. T. W, G. McKay, M, O.H., who is this week taking it up with the Provincia] Department of Health in the hope of throwing some light on the subject, This question, as Chairman John Gibson stated, has been in the limelight at intervals for 25 years, "and we are no nearer a solution tonight than we were 25 years ago," he said. A petition had been presented by residents of Oshawa boulevard regarding smoke from the plant of the Central Spring and Axle Co., and Sanitary Inspector D, A. Hubbell had made a numoer of tours around the city, inspecting factories, apartment hopses and public buildings with regard to the volume of smoke pouring out upon the city, Mr Hubbell had come to the con- clusion that the smoke was coms ing, not from the Spring and Axle plant, but from the Standard Pav. ing company's operations on ad- joining property, When the rep- resentatives of this firm became cognizant of the situation, he said they had offered to burn coke or other fuel, at a greater expense than soft coal, it it would elimi. nate the nuisance, Subsequently another petition had come from the same residents of the locality, however, as the situation had ap- parently not cleared, It was the opinion of members of the hoard that the matter of smoke nuisance from factories couid not be pressed too strongly while our own public buildings, gchools, ete., were belching forth thousands of cubic feet of soot daily. Soft coal was being burn. ed solely as a matter of economy, to keep the tax rate down, and any apparatus to eliminate the nuisance would be quite expensive, Attention was called to the very fine response that had heen made hy Fittings Limited, to a request some time ago that they try ta reduce the smoke nuisance from their factory. At considerable ex- pense, they have installed appar. atus to remove almost all the soot before the smoke reaches the chimneys, and now it Teavés the factory in wagons, not on the air, All of the: members of the board were high in their commendation of this firm for the splendid spirit they had shown, fr -- Died GLOVER--In East Whitby, Fri. day, March 30, Elizabeth Watts, widow of the late John Glover, aged 61 years.
