THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1927 p-------- rr -- Predicts Carpenters' Strike in Toronto Will Be Over in Few Days John F. Marsh Chief Speaker! at Meeting of Oshawa Trades' Workers in Welsh's Parlors Last Night -- Be- lieves 10-Cent Wage In- crease Will Be Allowed -- . Says Co-operation Has Been Good ---- Predicting that the next two or three days will bring about normal condi- tions in Toronto in respect to the building trades strike there, John F. Marsh, prominent labor worker and one of the chief advisers to the high- er wage seekers, tired but enthusias- tic, gave a brief address before build- ing trades workers here in Welsh's parlors last night. Mr, Marsh, who has been actively engaged in an ex- ecutive manner in connection with the strike for the past four weeks, claimed propositions have been offered and re- used and now the workers are tak- ing the matter to another department. There will be a conference between the contractors, workers and the Hon. Peter Heenan, Federal Minister of Labor, in Toronto today and it is pre- dicted that efforts to mend matters will be successful, Mr. Marsh, in the course ot his ad- dress, claimed that if the ten cent per hour increase is allowed the workers, and there is no doubt but that it will, the addition will mean approximately $175 more per year for the carpenters' pay envelopes. This increase, he ven- tured, would be followed by others in the course of the proper time. The speaker alluded to the fact that while it has cost on the average of $160 pet man for the four weeks they have been cut, but in the long run the workers will be farther ahead. Co-Operation Good The speaker alluded to the won- derful spirit of brotherhood that has kept the strikers of Toronto together during the trying days of the ordeal. On October 4th, the day when ham- mers dropped, there were 750 carpen- ters in the Labor Temple shortly ates BRUTON Don 1 hanksgiving Holiday SHOE NEWS Thanksgiving Season Wherein we usher the fall days --the snappy mornings; the brisk feeling that tells you fall is here indeed.

The strike 1s a real old fashioned one with plenty of pep and music and this latter has tended not a little to keeping harmony within the ranks. Talking to one of the contractors yesterday, Mr. Marsh claimed the for- mer informed him the strike was cost- ing the contractors planty. The strike breakers are inexperienced men and many are posing as carpenters, work- ing for an hour and then leaving the jobs because of their incompetency. Millions of dollars worth of work is months behind, said Mr. Marsh who stated there are buildings in the Queen City that should have the roofs on but are now only in their early stages. The meeting which was attended by about a hundred tradesmen, was also addressed by John W .Bruce, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Plumbers and Steamfitters; Pat Green, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners; Jack No- ble, general organizer of the Brother- hood of Electrical Workers, and Fred Molineux, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decora- tors. Jack Noble, introduced by F. Molineaux, acted as chairman, Other Trades Agree That the painters and decorators, as well as other tradesmen are seeing eye to eve with the carpenters in their struggle for higher wages, was im- pressed upon the gathering by F. Mo- lineux, the first speaker. "The funda- mental differences are all alike and the different unions co-operate with one another," the speaker claimed, The speaker stressed the necessity of a worker belonging to the unions, claiming it is yseless to go on with- out any attachments. If a worker, be- lieving he is getting, and he may be, getting just as high a wage as a union worker, goes to the employer and asks for an increase, he is told to take what he has or leave the job, said Mr. Molineux. There are 200,000 union workers in Canada and the speaker believed that with the co-operation of the unions they were going to get somewhere, "It is ridiculous to think that there are men working at the painting trade at from 35 to 55 cents an hour in Osh- awa," said the speaker, who also men- tioned that he was doubtful if there the province where the local condition exists. "There may be the occasional worker getting a little more," the speaker added, Pat Green, will known to local work- ers, having addressed them here sev- 'eral times, gave a rather lengthy talk in which he pointed out the necessity for trade unionism. He featured the many acts of legislation that can be attributed to the work of the unions. The Mothers' Allowance, the Work- ingmen's Compensation, etc., are only a tew of them. Should Share Profits . The workers are part and parcel of industry and without them there could be nothing done; therefore they should receive a part of the pronts that accrue from their work. This was the gist of a good talk by John W, Bruce, of the plumbers and steam fitters. The speak- cr. pointed out that trade unions are not hostile, but are thinking of methods for the betterment of the workers. The workers of Oshawa should receive some benefits from their work In view of the fact they are assisting in making this city one of the. im- 'portant centres in Canada, The spjeaker referring to the motor ind ed that it is now the third greatest in the United States. 7 heretore, the people must see that they get their share of the benefits from the large industries. Mr. Bruce mentioned the fact that the capitalists are not work- mg for fun. They are awaiting fur- on their money, Mr, Bruce said that he is told there are plumbers and steam fitters brought nto this city from other centres at a good wage plus their transportation and expenses while they are here, I'his was, the speaker said, because the men were needed and because the men in turn demanded that they be given a suitable wage in addition to their expenses while away from home, "Couldn't the men of Oshawa handle those jobs as well as the outsiders?" the speaker queried, ustry, claim- HAGEN DEFEATS TOMMY ARMOUR Cedar Crest Country Club, Dallas, Texas, Noy, 4.--In a classic battle of champions, Walter Hagen conquered Tommy Armour yesterday for semi-finalist position in his fight to {win for the fifth time the titular laurels of the Professional Golfers' Association.

Mrs. Fabian is sald to have brought Nelson up af. ter the death of his parents, The prisoner's wife today was called back for re-examination by the prosecuting counsel after the strange story she told yesterday. With the close of the defence case counsel began their respective ad- dresses to the jury but Mr. Justice Dyart may postpone his charge un- til tomorrow. It was unlikely Nel- son would testify in his own behalf. Another stampeding crowd wait- ed in line today in the hope of get- ting a glimpse of the prisoner's wife and there was a serious crush when the court room doors were opened, Defence counsel read to the jury examplification from the superior court of San Francisco showing that Nelson had been an inmate of an insane asylum in that state, MOVE FOR LIQUOR STORE ADVANCED (Continued from page 1) stated, 'hnd it is heing considered along with a very large petition for liquor store from Oshawa citi. zens." "Do you, purpose ordering a vote on the question in Oshawa?' was the next gnuestion, Mr. Hanna declined (o definite statement in reply but re- peated, "We are giving the whole matter very serious consideration." The chairman cf the liquor con- trol hoard was then asked regarding rumors current in Bowmanville that Gooderham and Worts were plan ning to ere't a distillery in that town ,in support of which is the fact that they are installing a radio station, "lI have heard nothing distillery being located at ville," he replied." Local opponents Store have, as yet, not taken a de- cided action ' with regard to the location of a liguor store here. The local bodies are waiting a re- ply from Hon. D. B. Hanna to their recent communication. Several in- terviewed on Thursday expressed a belief that the Liquor Control Board would not take definite action with- " mike a atout a Bowman- of the Liquor out giving them a chance to express | their views and file counter peti. | tions, However, the facts are that the Liquor Control Board has a large petition in ips handp from those who want the liquor store as op- posed to letters from organizations opposing it. An inspector of the department has been busy in the city this week securing options at least on avail- able sites. The chairman, appointed in ful- filment of Prémier Ferguson's pledge that the Board would be put 'n the hands of a "strong man," de- clares that the opening of a liquor store in Oshawa 1s being given "very sqrious considpration." The inference is that the chair- man's "serious" may turn to "fa. vorable" within the course of the next few days.

At present the Department of Na- tional Revenue has two sections of government buildings. The collec- tor and his department, cashier and | clerks, ete., is located over the post- office on the second floor, while the examining warehouse is located in a separate building on Ontario Street just north of the post offee build- ing. This building is just a one story construction of red pressed brick and it is erected in such a fashion that the addition of another story or more is a very simple mat- ter. Only one conclusion can be drawn from the latest action of the de- partment in moving into temporary quarters next t~ the examining ware- house and that is that there will be an addition mzle to the present cus- toms warehouse eventually, Weth- er it will be an addition of one or two stories remains for the depart- ment to decide. Inquiry of the chief collector to- day elicited a confirmation of the department's intentions to take over temporary quarters.
