THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1928 HEARING TUESDAY TARIFF ON STEEL More Automobile Business Sought By Algoma Company Ottawa, Sept. 27.--The applica~ tion of the Algoma Steel Company will be heard by the Advisory Tar- iff Board om Tuesday. Tariff alter- ations suggested in the application would abolish drawbacks in some instances and impose new or high- er duties in others. It is proposed to abolish the drawback of 99 per cemt. of duty on steel for springs and axles used in automobiles, The brief sava: "Jt is acknowledged that the auto- mobile industry is reasonably pra- tected under the present Canadl- an tariff and there appears no jus- tification for allowing spring steel or axle steel bars for automohiles to be imported from forefgn sources under a rebate of 99 per cent. of the duty." The proposed chang would still allow such steel to come in under the drawback when used in manufacture of agricultur- al implements. Tt is also asked that imported spiral spring steel be no longer subjected to a 99 per cent. drawback when used in the preference om alloy steel. Om structural steel the brief says: Structural Steel "There is a pro in the present Canadian customs tariff to the effect that when structural steel is made in Canada in all sec ions weighing up to 1203pounds per yard, the present duties will be increased from $2 per net tom British preference and $7 per met ton gemeral. When this order-in- Council was first proposed it was the case that practically no sections weighing 35 pounds per yard and over were procurable in Canada, and therefore the bulk of the coun~ try's requirements weighing 35 pounds per yard and over had of necessity to be imported. Since then Canadian conditions have al: tered considerably, and while it is not yet the case that all sections covered by the order-in-Couneil can be manufactured here, a com- siderable portion of them are mow made which weigh over 34 pounds per yard, Later on the full range of all items indicated in the order- in-couneil will undoubtedly be man. ufactured in this country, but in the meantime in view of the fact that Canadian mills are in a posi- tion to supply every need of the consumer here in all sections of steel angles and in beams up to six inches and channels up to seven inches we sugggest the order-in-Couneil shoud hecome immediately effective insofar as tflese are concerned and the duty advanced to $7 per net ton under manufacture of rallway spiral springs, The brief urges the im position of 'a duty of 35 per cent, ad valorem general and British --_------ rE the general tariff for all weights in these sizes. "Then, when it is possible to procure in Canada the larger sizes of structural steel, the remaining portion of the Act should become effective without being limited to 120 pounds per yard so that the entire range may be produced." It is usggested the duty on pig iron he increased from $1.50 Brit- ish preference and $2.50 general tariff to $5 per ton, and in billats, blooms and slabs the duty be rais- ed from $1.50 British preference and $2.50 general tariff to §7 ver ton. The Algoma Steel Company ex- Disney Block presses the opinion that if a duty Opposite Post Office on coke was granted it would ben- " efit this industry. omer EYESIGHT SPECIALIST Author of The Eyes in Modern Life Optometry Feature Service Your Eyes and Health ye Care and Eye Strain #H1§ --:i-- PHONE --:-- 1518 TWICE THE PENALTY SELLING ON SUNDAY Quebee, Sept, 27.--8elling liquor without a license means one month in jail, but selling on Sunday means two months' confinement, Judge Choquette yesterday told Laureat Frenette, guilty of in- fringing the Quebee Liquor Aw, W.

Shaw, 80, of Toronto, inventor of a formula for the mak- ing of synthetic maple syrup. Shaw when Canadian law barred the making of his syrup, which Is flavored in a natural manner by a secret extract made from maple wood, answered the call of a De- troit man, Ramsay E. Sinclair, who offered him a tempting contract, But Sinclair failed to pay, and Shaw sued him for money due un- der the contract, about $1,600 in all. Then the blow fell in the shape of the United States immigration inspectors, who ordered Shaw de- ported to Windsor, Shaw who had heen getting a precarious living by the sale of his maple syrup to his landlord and a restaurant keeper, landed in Windsor at night with exactly $1.15 in his pocket, The aged Toronto man appealed to police. Not only did they keep him for the night but one of the constables, Andy Johnson, took the octogenarian into his home, keep- ing hin until he could prosecute his suit against Sinclair in Detroit. As Shaw bad been barred from Detroit by the immigration men, who said he would be locked up if he would come to Detroit again, the Windsor police had to help him get by the line, and the only way he could get to court on the other side of the river whem his suit was pending was to have a Windsor policeman go with him. This was done on several occasions, Today Shaw holds a judgment for $500 pageinst Sinclair, awarded him in the justice court presided over by Judge Gordon, who ruled that the money must be paid. And he still holds his formula which he was too canny to diviuge.

Upon hearing Judge Choquette pronounce sentence Simard collaps- ed, and had to be raised to his feet by court officials. The sentence was for holding up Henri Desrochers near St. Sulpice last week, when Simard and anoth- er man boarded his car, forced Des- rachers to drive them a certain distance, and then stuck a hypoder- mic into his neck, afterwards bind- ing and gagging him and leaving him on the road. Judge Choquette, before pro- nouncing sentence, said: "You are a coward. You had a companion and yet were afraid to attack your victim openily. You paralyzel him before you trussed him up and left him on the roadside. You faced him, gun in hand, when you knew he was unarmed. You belong to that lowest type of criminals, the sneaking highway robber who fears to face his victim unless he is ac- companied by several other bandits of his own kind. You are a slink- ing young eriminal whose only fear is physical pain or bodily harm. Well, you will be given what you would have deserved to get from your victim, You will spent seven years in St. Vincent de Paul peni- tentiary. Your kind are a danger and serious menace to society and you must be kept where you can do no harm for a term of years, But in addition you must be made to fully realize the seriousness of your crime. You will therefore he given 10 lashes, five, eight days after you are admitted to the peni- tentiary, and five more eight days before you leave."

Speculation for the advance of the New York Stock Exchdmge, which has witnessed the establishment of scores of mew high records almost daily for the past few weeks, re- ceived a decided setback today when a sweeping reaction im the, last hour of trading carried many of the pool favorites down to $5 and $10 a share. The decline probably was inspir- ed by reports, which later proved to be unfounded, that the weekly report on federal reserve brokers' loans issued after the close of the market would exceed the record- breaking total of $4,563,240,000 established last June. The report showed a gain of $54,232,000 in loans, bringing the total to $4,- 524,108,000.
