"M. J. Hennessy of Haileybury, is among the contractors for the Abitibi Pulp and Paper Company who have had their cperations interrupted by the strike of wosjdsmen and, while his camp is still open, there are only a couple of men left to care for the proâ€" perty and to have the place in readiâ€" ness when, and if, the men decide to work. Yesterday Mr. Hennessy, who has been ill at his home here for the past week, stated that he hoped to get operating again in time to finish the season‘s cut and described something of the trouble experienced when the men went out on strike. "He had 180 men employed, he said, and when they took a vote as to wheâ€" ther to go on strike or not, there were only about 50 who voted in favour. However, fearing that there would be trouble coming in any event, a number of others joined them when they walkâ€" ed out, leaving about half of the crew at work. Later a large party of strikâ€" ers visited the camp and literally forcâ€" ed the remaining men to join them. On the occasion of this visit the strikâ€" ers demanded their supper before they left, which was given them, as Mr. Hennessy put it, "because they would have taken it anyway." He tried to argue with the men, but there was apâ€" parently nothing that could be done. He terms the leaders "communists‘ and declares that the majority of the men would be content to remain at work if they were left alone. Police are unâ€" able to cope with the strikers, Mr. Hennessy says, being far too few in numbers and with too little authority to handle them as he thinks they should be handled. "Of conditions in the camps and the wages earned by the men Mr. HKennessy says there is little if any legitimate cause for complaint. At his own camp pilece workers were averaging between $59 and $60 per month, after paying their board. The lowest month‘s wages paid this season was $28, he said, and that was to an inexperienced man who â€" What You Should Know About Houses â€" A Weekly Feature Service Supplied to The Advance by Home Builders‘ Service Bureau, 177 Jarvis Street, Toronto 2 date. In the same deflated market it will bring $4,500 in a sale, a net deâ€" preciation of $3,000. The house which was kept up shows a net depreciation of only $1,500. ($1,200 spent for re«â€" pairs plus $300 depreciation from cost price). Every home depreciates as time goes on. It can only rise in value if there is a general real estate boom and prices rise to such an extent as to counteract the depreciaticon factor. Real estate booms have been conspicuous by their absence during the last few years. Few if any properties have shown any inâ€" crease in value. But the decrease in realty values, which ultimately spells distress and forecliosure, can be stemmed if repairs are made when deeded, and if new equipment is added when the old equipment becomes more or less obâ€" solete.

In his cwn case, he said, if he got under way again at the beginning of the New Year he could still finish up, as he had about half of his projected cut completed when the trouble startâ€" ed."
