Newspaper in a Growing City Succeeding The Oshawa Reformer The Oshawa Daily Times "All the News While It Is | ~VorL. 9--NO. 44 Published at OsBawa, Ont., Canada, Every Day Except Sundays and Public Holidays OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1931 12 Cents a Week; 3 Cents a Copy EIGHT PAGES Noon LISTS CONTAINED 2,041 NAMES BEFORE OFFICE FINALLY CLOSED TODAY Baturday Morning Was Marked by Many Addi- tions at Employment Of- fice -- Extension of Time May Be Necessary FIGURES ABOUT 8% OF THE POPULATION Majority of Single Men Willing to Accept Work Anywhere -- East Whit- by Registration Number- er About 140 With the official closing time for the registration of Oshawa's unemployed set for noon to-day, at 11.30 o'clock there were 2,041 mames on the lists being prepared by the staff of the Employment Service Bureau. Registrations were still coming in 'during the forenoon and this number, it was thought, would be substantially increased before the office closed while it is pre- sumed that there may be a need for a short extension of time to permit others, who have not yét done so, to register. This registration shows over eight per cent. of the total popula- tion of this city to be without reg ular jobs. In addition to the city registra. tion the lists for unemployed resi- dents of East Whitby are also be- ing prepared in the Employment Service Office, 140 names having been registered before 'the office closed on Saturday at noon. A large proportion of single fnen have . been placed on the city's lists who signify their wil- lingness to accept employment of any kind at any place, the major ity of all the unemployed, wheth- er married or single, being quite willing to do anything anywhere in order to earn a livelihood. FEED BIG CROWD ON EVERY -DAY An Average of 110 Are Provided With Meals Since the opening of the free- lunch room for single, destitute, unemployed men on Bond Street East by the Unemployed Associa- tion, an average of about 110 men have been fed there daily, Eddie McDonald, secretary of the asso- ciation, informs The Times. The Junch room hag been in operation since last Monday. Two meals a day, dinner and supper, are served at this haven for the destitute jobless and as there is not too much space the men must eat in shifts. The food is plain and is served up on crude plank tables, but it is well cooked and nourishing and after having such a meal tucked be- neath their belts the single job- Jess men feel better able to meet the difficulties which they are en- countering. EE EE BE MOTORIST COMPLAINS Cyclists in Oshawa still, apparently, continue to be quite independent of the Highway Traffic Act and immune from procjcution, notwithstanding that they are often a menace to their own safety as well as to the safety of others when they do not comply with the law and carry a light after dark. A local motorist driving from Lakeview Park to El- gin Street at about nine o'clock yesterday evening, when it wag quite dark and all motor vehicles car- ried lights, ,met or over- took seven cyclists all of them without a light of any kind. This motorist com- plained very bitterly to The Times pointing out that if he had failed to have lights on his car he would have .undoubtedly -beéeh stopped and question- . ed that the clause of the ing that the clause of the way Traffic Act which governs cyclists is just as important as that govern- ing motorists.

Bail was re- fused by the Judge, who agreed with the company's attorney, J. A. Ogilvie, that the case wag of sufficient importance to warrant the prisoners' detention. The ac- cused are Urbain Martel, Julien Gauthier, and Jean Corbell, all in their thirties. According to police, the three men 'were arrested while attempt- ing to render useless a transform- er, near the corner of Iberville and St. Zotique Streets at 9 o'- clock on Thursday evening. Of the 170 linesmen of the Power Company, who went on strike two weeks ago, 100 have applied for work and were en- gaged by the company at 5 o'- clock. The men decided to re- turn after a meeting yesterday morning held by H. B. Pope, General Superintendent of the Company's Electrical Department, and Gaspard Bertrand, President of the Canadian Electrical Union of Linesmen and Helpers. This means that only thirty-five men are still missing, for thirty-five rejoined tlie company's service a day. or two after the strike was declared. Offiicals of both the company and the union expressed gratifi- cation that the men were back at work. No reference was made to the question whieh brought the strike to a head, namely, the company's refusal to recognize the union of which the linesmen formed a part. BUILDINGS ARE ONTHE INCREASE Greater Activity In Con- struction All Over Canada The value of the building au- thorized during July showed an inchease of $2,408,767, of 28.4 per cent. as compared with the preceding month, but there was a decline of $4,945,276, or 31.3 per cent., as compared with July, 1930. The aggregate for the 61 cities in July, 1931, was $10,879,- 505, as against $8,470,738 in June, 1931, and $15,824,781 in July, 1930, according to figures issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The total for the first seven months of 1931, $68,351,779, was lower than in 1930 and also than in most years of the record, but in using these figures, it should be noted that there has also been a very considerable de- cline in. the «wholesale costs of building materials, the Bureau's index (average 1926-100) having fallen from 144.3 in the first seven months of 1920 to 83.6 in the period January-July, 1931. Some 50 cities furnished de- tailed statistics, showing that they had issued over 1,000 per- mits for dwellings valued at ap- proximately $4,300,000, and some 2,000 permits for other buildings estimated at about $6,- 300,000. In June, authority was given for the erection of some 2,000 dwellings and 2,600 other buildings, valued at approximate- ly $4,600,000 and $3,000,000. re- spectively. Increases over were reported in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontarlo and British Columbia, the largest gain being that of $971,018, or 24.8 per cent. in Ontario, Of the reduc- tions in the other provinces, that of $258,485, or 42.7 per cent, in Manitoba was most pro- nounced. In comparison with July, 1930, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick registered improvement, there being gains of 289.2 and 35.9 per cent. respectiviey, in those provinces. Elsewhere declines were indicated, that of $1,420,- 483, or 22.7 per cent. in Ontario being largest. Of the larger cities, June, 1931, Toronto ©, Feported an increase over June, INDUSTRY 15 IN FIRM POSITION Canadian Manufacturer' States Development Period Well Started Canada is well started on a period of substantial industrial devlopment, according to H. H. Henchel, president and general manager of the General Motors Truck and Coach of Canada, Lim- ited, Walkerville, Ont. Mr. Henchel declared that Canadian industry has stood the assaults of world wide business depression because it is built on a solid foundation, and today is facing a future that gives every promise of continued substantial expansion. In support of this, he pointed out that the Dominion's general industrial production eéx- panded some 200 per cent during the World War and has main- tained more than half of this growth, "Canadian industry is in a firm position," said Mr. Henchel, "be- cause it meets the specific needs of Canada, utilizes Canadian la- bor,. developes Canada's natural resources and endeavors at all times to strengthen the Domin- fon's dominant position in the Empire. "Canada has problems that are peculiar to the Dominion alone. Machinery of a different type than that used in other countries is necessary in many instances. General Motors recognized this from the very start when it first entered into the building of trucks in Canada, With this end in mind, it has built up a thor- oughly Canadian organization. Its engineering staff is composed of Canadians who have proved their ability to design trucks and coaches suited to Canadian haul- ing conditions. Its entire output is sold in Canada and its selling force is made up of Canadians who thoroughly understand Cana- dian conditions." Summarizing business condi- tions in Canada, Mr. Henchel pre- dicted a continued readjustment during the remainder of the year, with gradual improvement and strenghtening of the industrial and business fabric of the coun- try. NO SUBSCRIBERS FOR TWO WEEKS Appeal For Red Cross Is Apparently Forgotten The work of the Red Cross Cot- tage has apparently been Pio ten by those citizens of Oshawa to whom the Red Cross Society looks for financial assistance in carrying on the work of caring for under-nourished and ailing children at the lakeshore summer home." Up to this morning, not a single contribution to the deplet- ed funds had been received for two weeks. This morning a che- que for $5.00 was received from Miss Jackson's Bible Class of the King Street United Church Sun- day School, and this is the only addition since the last list was published. The total of the Red Cross Cottage Fund is now far below what it has been in past years, and the work of the society in this direction is in great peril of being stopped, because of the lack, of finances. The Red Cross Society is doing a wonderful work of health-build- ing at the Red Cross Cottage, and it would be a matter of much re- gret if it had to be curtailed be- cause of the lack of finances. will be required to see the society through the season, and an urgent appeal is made to the citizens who feel generously disposed to make their contributions as quickly as possible, and as gener- ously as possible. Donations should be sent to Mrs. M, Hezzel. wood, 97 Albert Street, secretary- treagurer of the society, or to The Times' office, and will be duly acknowledged in these columns. The list of contributions is as follows: Previously acknowledged. $598.74 Miss Jackson's Bible Class, King Street United Sun- day School woe 5.00 Total to date ........$603.74 1931, and July, 1930; in Mont- real and Vancouver there were gains in the former, but losses in the latter comparison, while in Winnipeg the July, 1931, total was less than in either the pre- ceding month or the same month of last year. Of the other centres, Halifax, New Glasgow, Sydney, Moncton, Westmount, Belleville, Hamilton, Owen Sound, Welland, Riverside, New Westminster and Prince Rupert showed gaing as compared with both June, 1931, cereals and July, 1930, About four hundred dollars more | Either Party or Press (By Canadian Press) London, Aug. 22.--The Labor Cabinet adjourned this afternoon to meet again on Sunday morn- ing. The conference between representatives of Labor, Conser- vative and Liberal Parties appar- ently 'has ended. His Majesty fs returning to London from Scotland and will be here early to-morrow morning. Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin will be back to- night. : « These known facts led to a maze of speculation and rumor in London this evening. Political commentators hazarded the opin- ion that the King was returning because of the political crisis and King's Return Taken as Sign of Resignation Labor Cabinet Has Adjourped Meetings Until Sunday Morning With No Official Announcement Made To that his unexpected return meant Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon- ald was ready to resign.. Still no official statements have been made. Prime Minister and Cabinet have kept their counsel for two weeks and apparently Conservative and Liberal Party spokesmen have agreed to say nothing at the present juncture. If the Prime Minister is con- templating resigning--and there is nothing to support this theory except the King's return--no an- nouncement would be made to- night for in the ordinary course of events the Prime Minister's re signation is announced when it is tendered to His Majesty, ies Insisting on a Cut London, Aug. 22, (By George Hambleton, Canadian Press Seaff Correspondent) .-- Balancing the British budget is a®path strewn with many thorns. The retenjion of the dole benefits on their pres- ent basis is understood to be the snag between the Government and the General Council 'of the Trade Union Congress, represent- ing the backbone element of the Labor Party. The Government's economy scheme is reported to Include a proposal to put a time limit of twenty-six weeks on the payment of "transitional benefits." The transitional benefit is a benefit paid after the expiry of the peri of ordinary benefits that are covered by the benefici- ary's contributions to the dole fund when he was employed. The transitional benefit is the '"'dole" part of the unemployment insurance scheme, as it is not covered by any contributions to the fund. And to the Govern- ment's time limit the T.U.C. is objecting. Price of Cabinet Support In big black type on {ts front Government's Paths "Strewn With Thorns "' Balancing of British Budget Is Big Problem For Labor Party -- Retention of "Dole" Presents Snag Between Government and Trade Union Congress, With Tor- page today the Daily Herald, shemi-official Labor organ, de- clares: "Tories insist on cut in 'dole' as price of Cabinet sup- port." During yesterday, the Her- ald sald, the position was entirely changed by the "surprise Tory demand for reduction in the amount of unemployment bene- fits." While the Government pro- posals as a whole were favorably received by the Liberals, the Her- ald continues, it is believed they will urge further taxation on ar- ticles of popular consumption such as beer and tobacco, On the other hand the Times says: "The situation as it stands this morning Ys that the leaders of all parties have agreed on tackling economy first, and es- pecially on dealing with unem- ployment insurance; that the cabinet has a provisional scheme for effecting a certain propor- tion of what is required under this head; that their political opponents are enly determined to go further in the same direc- tion." King George Big Parties Have Ended (By Canadian Press) Londou, Aug. 22.--His Majesty has decided to return to London immediately from Balmoral Castle, Scotland, where he went only yesterday with Queen Mary. It wag stated by some news- .papers that His Majesty's return was conmected with the political- financial crisis. Rumor succeeded London this afternoon rumor In as® the in London For Political Crisis Rumors of Parliament's Dissolution, and Alternate Ru- mors of Some Settlement -- Talks Between Three Cabinet resumed its sitting, fol- lowing apparently the conclusion of talks betweep spokesmen for the three parties. There were stories of dissolu- tion of parliament, dissolution which no party wants, and alter- nate stories of a settlement. So far, however, Conservatives and Liberals have not returned to Downing Street. ! SONS OF MINISTER TREED BY LIONS Pretoria, South Africa--Albert and Charles Hertzog, sons of Gen. J. B. Hertzog, Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa, had a narrow escape from lions in the Kruger National Park recently. They were obliged to take refuge in a tree until rescued by a party sent in a motor car by their father. Torrential rain had turned the roads into mud and the Prime Minister's car stuck in a. part of the country lions are so numerous. that native constables sleep in trees. Albert and Charles Hertzog walked ahead to seek help, but by the light of their torch they saw a lion in the middle of the road, They looked round for a place to which to re- treat, but they found another lion by their side. They then srambled into a tree.

Re- cords show that not since Confed- eration, 1867, has a contest taken place in a Quebec genergl election in every seat. In 1892 only one member was elected without a con- test. Elections up to 1927 produced a varying number of acclamations, the high-water mark being in 1914, when 44 Liberal supporters of the then. Premier, Sir Lomer Gouin, were rejurned unopposed and his Government was guaranteed a ma- jority on nomination day, an unpre- cedented event in Canadian history. The number of of seats in the Leg- islature at the time was 85. The Liberals have held the reins of government for 34 years in Que- bec. The last Conservative Govern- ment, that of Hon. E. J. Flynn, went out of office in 1897, when the Lib- erals were swept into power on the wave of popular support which had helped send Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his adherents in triumph to Ottawa the year before. Since then Quebec has had four Premiers, all support- ed by large majoritics: Hon. F. G. Marchand, 1897 to 1900; Hon, S, N. Parent, 1900 to 1905; Hon. Sir Lom- er Gouin, 1905 to 1920, and Hon. L, A. Taschereau, 1920 to the present time. Majority of 61 Mr. Taschereau's Government had a majority of 61 after the last elec- tion in 1927, and the standing at dissolution on July 30 last was: Government, 65; Independent Lib- crals, 4; Conservatives, 11; Labor, 1, vacait, 4. Five new seats are se- lecting members for the first' time in the present election. On Monday 197 acndidates will be voted on. The Liberals and Conservatives, for the first time on record, both have a candidate each in cvery riding. There are three Laborites and the remainder is composed of indepen- dents, Premier Taschereau is fighting his third campaign as Premier, and his eighth as member of the House. He was elected as member for Mont- morency in 1900 and therefore has been thirty-one years in public life. * Camiilien Houde, Leader of the Opposition, is conducting his first gengral election in that position, though he has been twice elected to the Legislature for Montreal-St, Mary. He is also Mayor of Mont- real, Whatever happens on Monday, the new Legislature is bound to contain many new faces. EARL JELLICOE 1S IN CANADA Given Ceremonial Recep- tion At Quebec This Morning (By Canadian Press) Quebec, Aug. 4--A nincteen-gun salute was fired from the Citadel this morning as the Canadian Paci- fic Liner Duchess of York swung into her dock to land Admiral of the Fleet Earl Jellicoe of Scapa ana a distinguished gathering of Cana- dian military and veteran officials prepared to welcome the hero of Jutiand. . The dock was ablaze with decorations and dress uniforms of officers and soldiers as Quebec pre- pared to hold a brief reception for the distinguished British sailor be- fore he .rejoined the liner to con- tinue his voyage to Montreal. Earl Jellicoe came to Canada to officially open the Canadian Nation- al Exhibition at Toronto, on August 28 and to preside over the fifth bi- ennial convention of the British Empire Service League, opening at, Toronto, on Sept. 3. In addition he will visit Ottawa and make many appearances at public functions dur-. ing his stay, The Admiral of the Fleet was accompanied by Countess Jellicoe and their two children, Lady Gwendoline Jellicoe and Vis- count Brocas, In the welcoming party were the following: Genl, Sir Arthur Currie, Grand President of the Canadian Legion; Lieut. Gen. Sir Richard Turner V.C,, Honorary President of the Canadian Legion and Lt, Col. L. R. LaFleche, Immediate Past Pres- ident of the Canadian Legion. In an interview on board the ship early this morning, Earl Jellicoe ex- pressed great satisfaction in the rowth of the League. The British ague last year added 60,000 mem- bers, he said. In addition to its main objective of promoting the welfare of British ex service men and protecting the dependents of 'the fallen, the League was also in- teresting itself in the economic wel- fare of the Empire and lending its aid in knitting the Dominions to- gether, but it refused. to engage: in political activity, T'S FATE IN THE BALANCE LABOR ADMINISTRATION WILL STAND OR FALLON NEW BUDGET POLICIES + STARTED WORK ON PAVEMENT JOB City . Engineer Has Big Gang Employed 'At Subway Paving of the approaches to the new CN.R. subway on Simcoe street south was commenced today under the direction of City Engin- eer Goedike. A gang of 32 men, of whom 22 were recruited from the ranks of the jobless, started work on paving today and it is expected that the pavement will be pushed rapidly to completion. The task of laying curbs and gutters has almost been finished and on the north ap- proach to the subway the sidewalk has been put down on each side of the street. The subway pavement is to be nine inch concrete, with a four inch crown and will have a width of 50 feet between curbs. Technically speaking, it is being constructed of 1-1%-3 composition, one of cement, to 1%; of sand and 3 of stone. Ap- proaching the subway from the north the pavement will have a grade of 4.18 per cent. In order to protect that portion of the curb which was laid over the new storm sewer and consequently upon new "fill" the pavement is be- ing "keyed' to the curb by steel dowels and transversely, These dowels which project from the curb will be so imbedded that the weight of the curb wil be supported par- tially by the pavement thus avoid- ing the possibility of the curb sink- ing The curbing is further re-in- forced by steel dowels laid longitu- dinally. In all, including north and south approaches and the subway itself, there is 80 feet of pavement to be constructed. Concrete pavement, although dur- able, is subject to the vicissitudes of sudden changes in temperature, frost, too much moisture and other factors which tend to make its sur- face cracked and uneven, In order to prevent this as much as possible transverse expansion joints are be- ing provided at every $0 feet, ' In these joints, sheets of a rubber like material will be placed, so that they may absorb the expansion and con- traction of the pavement. A visit to the subway is sufficient to assure anyone that it will not be many wecks before it may be op- ened for traffic. When the paving is sufficiently advanced the Oshawa Rantway Co., will commence the lay- ing of their tracks on the approach- es and in the subway which is prac- tically the final step in the whole project. It is already evident that a great improvement is being made in this section of the city.
