HATCH Chamber and Town Council to Co-operate in the Matter (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Mar. 7.--A special com- mittee including President R. A. Hutchison, ex-reeve Albert W, Jack- son and Dr. C. H, MacDougall, chairman of the industrial commit- tee, was appointed at an open meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce last night to interview Fred Hatch, president and founder of the Hatch' Manufacturing Co., Whitby's largest industry, with re- gard to a rumor that a change of management may be effected in the company. The committee was ask- ed to report back to the Chamber of Commerce and in the event of the rumor being confirmed, joint action might be taken with the town council to secure the contnu- ance of the company's operations here. ' This action followed a short ad- dress by Mr, Jackson, who in deal- ing with the matter of procuring new industries for the community mentioned that he had heard re- ports to the effect that the Hatch Co., manufacturing harness and military hardware, was interested in the absorption by a great Am- erican corporation of another Cana- dian company, manufacturing the same line, This information, he stated, was common talk, and he wondered what influence the mer- ger would have upon the local com- pany. He pointed out that if the local plant should be removed from town it would be a severe blow to the municipality as it is a large the other hand there might be pos- sibility that the merger would mean an increase im the capacity of the Hatch Co., with corresponding be- neficial effect for the whole town, In view of this he thought that the Chamber of Commerce should mani- fest an interest in a matter of such vital importance to Whitby and co- operate with the town council in taking whatever steps might be necessary to retain this important industry. Many Factors - 'In the course of his address ex- Reeve Jackson touched upon seve eral of the factors which might in- fluence an industrial concern in lo- cating in Whitby such ag the labor problem, transportation facilities, housing conditions and taxes, With regard to the housing condition he stated that there was a ghortage of Whitby Daily Times Advedtiing, subscriptions and, news will be received af the Whithy Office, Dundas Strnt REPRESENTATIVE -- JAMES HOLDEN Mc-spirited citizens could make good investments, by building homes.

The mem- berg of the committee were nomin- ated by Geo. W. P. Every, seconded by F. H. Annes. Keen Interest In spite of the severe weather, the meeting was well attended, in- dicating the keen interest which a large number of ratepayers are tak- ing in the affairs of the municipal- ity. The president called the gath- ering to order and intimated that there were reports of industrial changes in Whitby. He hoped that the meeting would decide what the Chamber of Commerce was pre- pared to do in retaining and sup- porting the development of factories already located here. The secretary, J. H. Ormiston, gave a splendid resume of the ac- tivities of the Chamber since its in- ception last summer, The report indicated the large amount of work which had been transacted by the secretary and it was with regret that the Chamber heard of his in- tention to resign. Mr. Ormiston explained that he was not desirous of any pecuniary reward, but that he found his duties too pressing and would have tn he relieved. Ad- option of the report was moved hy Mr. Kerney, seconded by W. J. H. Richardson, Ask $150 Grant Councillor William Davidson re- ported for the membership com- mittee and recommended that tne fee be increased from $1 to $3 per year, It was agreed that the Chamber required funds to carry on its work but the matter of an increase in fees was left over un- til the annual meeting. A motion was passed, however, requesting a Bian of $150 from the town coun- cil, The numerous activities of the industrial committee were reported by Dr. G. H. MacDougall, chair- man, who showed that his commit- tee had been very active in cor- responding with industries and in other ways advertising the advan- tages In industrial locations to be found here. He pointed out that under provincial law the munici- pality wag restricted from giving any, bonus to any {industry other than a fixed assessment, ' Power Rate Low The advantages to be found here in light and power were enumerat- ed by Geo, W, P. Every, superin- tendent of the Public Utility Com- mission, Mr. Every affirmed that the power rate was the cheapest available between Toronto and Ot- tawa, F, H, Annes heartily concurred with the statements of previous speakers that everything possible should be done to encourage the development of local industries. The opportunities for each citi- zen to assist in the attraction of industries to Whitby were stressed by F. J. McIntyre. Mr, McIntyre expressed great confidence in the town's future and was assured that it would grow and expand. At the conclusion of the meeting tasty refreshments, including sand- wiches, doughnuts, cake and cof- fee, were served through the cour- tesy of ladies of the Women's In- houses to rent locally and that pub- stitute, RU EEE TE EEE EE EEE EEE TT EE TE ETT ETT IT EAE RE TER PE RN RR RW WY A Real Extra Special Chenille Velvet 27 x 55 $1.98 EACH Saturday Only .

Store By Staff Reporter) Whitby, "Mar. 8.--Ernest John- ston, of Toronto, formerly em- ployed at Pressers and Cleaners, Brock street north, was committed for trial on a charge of seducing a young local girl, by Magistrate J. Willis in police court yesterday afternoon, Johnston, through his counsel, D, A, J. Swanson, of Oshawa, pleaded guilty to a charge of hav- ing liquor in an illegal place and was fined $100 and costs, He en- tered a plea of not guilty when ac- cused of supplying liquor to a min- or but after the evidence had been herad. His Worship was convinced that teh prisoner had committed an unlawful act and.sentenced him to two months' imprisonment with- out the optioa of a fine. "This is a serious offence and a low, mean act," His Worship com- mented. "I am convinced it was done for a wrong purpose," Mr. Swanson contended that Leo McGinnis, manager of the cleaning and pressing establish- ment, had procured the liquor, that he was in charge of the place and that he was really guilty of the offense and not his client, "Why is McGinnis protected" he asked, Crown Attorney McGibbon de- clared that the onus was on John- ston. In answer to Mr. Swanson ha stated that McGinnis had been given no protection to his know- ledge, He was certain that such actions in the cleaning and press- ing establishment were detrimen- tal to the interests or the communi- ty. According to the evidence given to the court the girl, against whom Johnston is alleged to have com- mitted an offence, often visited the cleaning and pressing shop, ac- companied by a friend, On the evening when the place was visit- ed by Chief Gunson, Johnston, Leo McGinnis and a man named Southwell were in the premises fn company with the two girls. Johnston had procured a bottle of whiskey at the Oshawa liquor store through McGinnis and the three men were drinking, while the young girl also admitted that she had drunk whiskey offered to her by Johnston. Her companion denied that she had ever taken li- quor at any time, MANY CARS IN DITCH ON CEMETERY HILL (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Mar, 8.--Travel on the highway between Whitby and Osh- awa was rendered very hazardous yesterday on account of the slip- pery condition of the highway and the blinding snowstorm which cov- ered windshields and prevented good visibility.

Consequently, provincial road administrative organs and en- gineers are devoting a great deal of thought and attention to the care and protection of roads. In 1927 the mileage of roads under main- tenance in Canada under the patrol oe oe or gang system was 44,416 miles, at a cost of $16.024.617, H. remembers sow and when you like the early morning cup....... he looks after your clothes as if he had valeted you all his life. -- A great fellow, your Cunard Bed. room Steward......he makes you feel at home, Sail Cunard! ¢eoveees Book through The Robert Reford Co., Limited, Cor.

BORDER (Continued from page 1) the government was preparing a counter stroke against them, and 10,000 federals were reported marching northward. The govern- ment was jubilant at its victories in Vera Cruz. So much so that censorship wag lifted on press dis- patches. The Vera Cruz campaign seemed at an end, Federal troops took over the city in support of troops who had turned against General Aguirre,' the revolutionary cous mander who was forced to flee. Aguirre was believed trapped be- tween two loyal contingents while his escape to sea was cut off by naval vessels. The city of Monterey, captured by the revolutionists and then re- captured by federals, resumed com- munication with the outside world after being cut off for 48 hours during which heavy fighting took place. General Escobar, commander-in- chief, of the rebels, left Monterey for Torreon, after taking $345.- 000 in gold from the local branch of the bank of Mexico. Mexico City Calm Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was expected to inaugurate offici- ally the air mail service between Mexico City and Brownsville tomor- row despite the revolution. Mexi- co City itself was calm, the popu- lation pursuing their normal pur- suits. A bull fight was cven an- nounced for Sunday. Fighting at Juarez El Pasco, Texas, Mar. 8.--Feder- al troops stationed on top of the buildings in Juarez, across the bor- der, at 6 o'clock this morning, op- ened machine gun fire on rebels approaching the city by train.

Remos, comanding the fed- eral troops on top of tne Hotel Rio Bravo, The rebels apparently were re- forming for another attack. The re- porter for the EI Paso Herald, who is hidden in a' house in the part of Juarez where the fighting is most severe, told his paper by telephone that he was lying at full length on the floor and that bul- lets were sizzling through the walls of the building. Vera Cruz, Mar. 8, -- General Jesus M. Aquirre, has reached the jungle region on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The train in which he fled from this city after the collapse of his revolt was found at Tierra Blanca where he had aban- doned it. Federal forces continued to fol- low him up, but pursuit is most dif- ficult in the tangled wilds in which he has sought refuge, The city awoke today to find life almost normal after a week of excitement and battle. Telephone and telegraph services with the capital were restored and the train service over the Mexican ling to Mexico City was scheduled to be resumed today. Communication Restored Monterey, aMr. 8. -- Telegraph and telephone communication with Laredo, Texas, Mexico City, Tampi- co, Matarmoros and Piedras Ne- gras was re-established today after 48 hours ' of suspension, during which this city was the scene of sanguinary fighting between rebels commanded by General Gonzalo Escobar and loyal forces.
