7 -- PAGE SIX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1928 'Take ENGLISH TEXTILE TRADE INPROVING Cotton Expert Arrives to Study Market in Canada ---- Montreal, Aug. 282--Among the 409 cabin passengers disembarking from the White Star liner Laurentic on Saturday night was Geo. R. Bulmer, prominent Yorkshire textile exe- cutive, who has extensive interests in numerous manufacturing and mer- chandizing companies in the .Old Country. : The speed with which the customs officers carried out their duties amazed the Yorkshireman. At 10:19 he walked off the gangway and at 10:38 he was booking his room at the Queen's Hotel. "That's the smartest bit of work 1 have seen for a long time," he re- marked to the newspaper man who accompanied him from the ship to the hotel. "The textile trade in the Old Coun- try shows distinct signs of improve- ment," he declared, "but the Lan- cashire mills are still experiencing a very bad time. During the 'boom eriod of 1918-1919, manufacturers in ancashire and Yorkshire, built large and" up-to-date mills, and floated them with absurdly inflated capital. Now that the slump has passed they find themselves stranded. The only way those mills can be made to pay their way is to write down the capi- tal. It will have to be ruthlessly gut--in some cases by as much as 75 per cent." ~ Still Heads Trade Mr. Bulmer remarked that, for all that, Lancashire still had her fingers on the world's cotton pulse. "When cotton rises to 24 or 25 ents a pound, Lancashire stops uying. hen it drops again to about 20 cents, It has done that once or twice lately. At present, it stands at 20 cents, but I feel posi- tive that we shall be haying 18 cent cotton before long. There were £000,000 bales left over from last year's crop, and this year's crop is estimated at 15,000,000 bales, so, in my opinion, a drop in cotton is on the doorstep. "This is my first trip to Canada," he continued, "and if first impres- gions are anything to go by, I shall enjoy my trip immensely. I have gome out to study the market and to visit Niagara Falls" Mr, Bulmer was loud in his praises of the Olympic team, and especially the Wright family. "No wonder Canada is proud of oe Wright," he said, "he's a won- _ derful boy, Believe me, I think Mrs. [ Wright is the proudest mother in the world at the present moment. The Olympic team entered into all the fun on board--or, perhaps I should say,--made all the fun; and we had a marvellous trip." PROVINCE'S CAR IS NOT IMMUNE Quebec, Aug. 28.--In the midst of | the Provincial Roads Department's drive against speeding over level crossings, one of the latest accidents to occur at one of these crossings was to a truck belonging to the Roads Department, which was struck by a train- at Laurierville, in Megantic. The two occupants of the truck were injured, while the machine it- self was smashed to pieces. Trefle Doyon, of Lothiniere, was the more seriously injured of the two, being taken to hospital, while Lucien Dai- gle, of Ste. Julie de Megantic, got off with but slight injuries. FIFTEEN KILLED IN MACEDONIA CLASH Followers of Machiloff and Gen. Protogueroff in Serious Conflict Belgrade, Aug. 28--Fifteen persons were killed between Obidin and Philippovo, in the Macedonian moun- tains, on Aug. 22, in a fight between followers of Ivan Machiloff and General Alexander Protoguereoff, It was charged the followers of Machiloff had attacked a group of 17 of the opposition faction, headed hy Boris Izworski, and had killed the 15 in that engagement. The reports, which came here from Sofia, said Machiloff was successful in two attacks and now was re- turning to Sofia. ABSORPTION OF IMMIGRANTS (Edinburgh Scotsman) Canada and Audstralia are no more able than older countries to absorb at any given time an unlimited num- ber of immigrants, There is plenty of room in Canada and Australia for man to starve and die in; there is only a limited amount of room for men to work and live in. Tt is no paradox; it is simply the effect of an ordinary economic law that at a given time there is only a limited demand for labor, No doubt there is an almost unlimited demand for competent and healthy men who will work on the land but for that life there are comparatively few appli- cants, especially among the older men, who are our most serious pro- blem, the decision of MACDONALD LOUD IN CANADA'S PRAISE More in Love with Dominion Than Ever, He Says Vancouver, B.C, Aug. 28--"I don't think Canada realizes what wonder- ful things she is doing," declared Rt. Hon. Ramsay MacDonald, former premier of Great Britain, who arrived here Saturday for his second visit to British Columbia in 21 years. "I am more in. love with Canada than ever," he declared. The former premier described the material changes ' in Canada since his previous trap as "almost miracu- lous." Mr. MacDonald was particularly impressed with the desire of Cana- dians to retain control of their natural resources and by the new movement of ch-operative marketing among the farmers. "That step will be initiated more and more in other countries and yield more and more good." Touching on Imperial politics," Mr, MacDonald expressed the belief that i Lloyd (#eorge to place 500 candidates in the field at the next British general election would, on the whole help the British Labor party. Mr. MacDgnald remarked that he had come across some "appalling conceptions of British politics in Canada, The Labor party's policy was its own and not a compromise between conflicting yiews, he said, STOLEN YACHT 1 HELD INNS. PORT Gloucester, Mass, Aug. 28--The Gloucester police were notified Sun- day night that a vessel answering to the description of the ketch rigged yacht Tertia stolen from its moor- ings at Eastern Point on the night of July 11, was being held by the Canadain customs authorities at Liverpool, N.S, The Tertia is owned by Alexander C. Tener, of Sewickloy, Pa, a sum- mer resident of Gloucester, and had been fuelled and provisioned for a cruise when it disappeared. The message from Liverpool said that a yacht arrived in harbor there early yesterday and that the absence of papers aroused the suspicion of the authorities, The vessel was of the same type as the Tertia, but had heen repainted and now bore the name Golden Bloom, MAD DOG RUNS WILD ON WINDSOR STREETS Windsor, Aug. 28.--A well-plac- ed shot from the pistol of Consta- bleO, Strong of the Windsor police force today ended the career of a dog which is believed to have been mad and reported to have bitten five other dogs and six hu- man beings, after the animal had been chased through the down- town streets for a half hour Ly Strong, two other members of the police force and a dozen of volun. teer assistants, The dog, a large airedale wear- ing neither license tag nor collar-- was killed but a few blocks from the town-town district where it staged its mad career, biting all its vietims In exactly the same place, on the right foot just above the heel. Some of those who are bitten were nipped but slightly, and did not pay much attention to their injuries. Police were notified, and constables sent out after thd ani- mal, after several attempts had been made to catch it, The well-placed shot by Consta- ble Strong almost tore the animal's head to pleces, leaving hardly enough to be sent to the provincial laboratories at Toronto for exam- ination, Pasteur treatment has been ordered for all the victims of the dog. Another dog, owned by Mrs. Herbert Potter, 357 Hall Avenue, nipped the leg of a Chinese fruit peddlar, John Dick, as he was de- livering fruit at her.home. The an- imal will be impounded for 10 days to see if it 1s suffering from rabies. A PROBLEM (The Bystander) The cost of extra occasional labor in country districts is becoming an increasingly difficult problem for landowners and farmers. A friend of your Bystander had this experi- ence recently, He wanted an' extra man to help with the hay. A youth of seventeen presented himself, but calmly demanded "full laborer's pay" of a shilling and twopence an hour! When this was refused he departed without a word. A day or two after a man came after the job but asked if he could begin work at ten o'clock each morn- ing, offering to make up the time at the other end. impossible, reason for this off request, my friend made enquiry and discoverédd that this applicant was on the dole. He had to report to the Labor Exchange in a neighboring town at nine o'clock every morning, His idea obviously, was still to draw the dole whilst he dd the hay-making--incidentally, do- ing some other man not upon the dole out of a job, i 4 -- ---- -- A Oshawa MERCHANTS | Annual BARGAIN Barga of t FRIDAY, AUG. 31 SATURDAY, SEPT. 1 are big » Days Shop at Karn's Drug Store and take Advantage mn This was, of course, | Being curious as to the | Bargain Feast Savings, Transportation etc. 'S DRUG STORE PHONE Spf CANADIAN VESSELS TO ESCAPES. TAX Boats Won't Be Assessed for Earnings Gained in Am. erican Waters Washington, Aug. 28.--~Under an agreement reached a few days ago, income derived by Canadian vessels in United States waters will not be taxed under the income tax laws of this country and vice versa. The arrangement has been made under a clause in the United States tariff law which permits such exemption in case similar exemption is allowed by any other country. This has been in force for some time in regard to shipping to France and several other European nations. The arrangements made will apply to incomes exclusively derived from the operation of vessels and will date back to cover such incomes starting with the year 1921, A conference on the subject at which the agreement was reached was held in this city on July 30, Canada being represented by C, §, Walters, commissioner of income tax division of the department of national rev- enue. The main point at issue came through the fact that the Great Lakes ferries have not been classified as "Shipping" under the Dominion clas- sification, It was decided, however, that they should be included in this category understhe new arrangement. HARD ON ONTARIO (Guelph Mercury) The only serious objection to har- vesters going west from Ontario is that it leaves the farmers here in somewhat of a predicament. Short of help as they are annually at this time of the year, the defec- tion of farm labor results in a good deal of inconvenience to agricultur- ists of this province, who are obliged to get their crops under cover, with- out adequate help, the best way they can, Advantage of Merchants Week End Bargain F Bruton's Bargain Feast Footwear SPECIALS Men's Oxfords Half Price o Ladies' Shioes Half Price 380 Pairs of Men's Calf Oxfords.
