THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES:GAZETTE FACE THRER Toronto, Nov. 13 (CP)--Murray Cotterill, Publicity Director of the United Steelworkers of America (CIO), said yesterday he was relinquiishing that post to be- come the union's political representative as the first step to- wards seeking to enlist 45, 000 Canadian steelworkers in the National car. Cotterill sald he would travel wan) - codst to coast "assisting" such steel union locals as wish to affiliate themselves as dques-paying members of the political party. His new ap- pointment, he noted, follows the re- cent decision of the Canadian Con- grens « of Labor, with which C.IL.O. unions are affiliated, to support the COX. The 0.1.0. steel union is said by its officials to represent 50,000 em- ployees in Oanada, of whom 45,000 are dues-paying members. About half the membership is in Ontario with the largest groups in Hamil. ton, Sault Ste. Marie and Toronto. + "Up until now organized labor has been content to let the C.CF. do something for it," he said. "Now we are going to do something for our- selves. In other words, we haven't been getting far enough fast enough. We can't see any sense in winning strikes and geting millions of dol- lars in pay increases if a govern- ment unsympathetic to labor is go- ing to take it away from us in price increases. Or if they are going to make it tough for us by enacting lousy collective bargaining laws." Say Inmates Go And Come As They Like Toronto, Nov, 13-- (CP) -- A guard dismissed from his post at Mimico Reformatory three weeks ago charged last night that pris- oners were allowed to go and come as the please, to sell goods on the outside and to become in- toxicated. L. Jervelund, dismissed on grounds of negligence Oct. 18, claimed discipline at thé reforma- tory had been "slipping" for the last eight or nine months, He said the best guards were quit- ting because they could not get any co-operation in controlling prisoners, Te New Toronto council, fol- lowing a statement made to mem- bers yesterday by Jervelund, pas- sed a resolution urging Labor Minister Daley to convene the Civil Servants' Board of Appeal to review Jervelund's case. Jervelund denied last night he was negligent in his duties. He said his dismissal followed two incidents, one involving prison blankets placed in a guard's car and the other a report from a guard that two inmates took a truck from the reformatory and delivered two bags of potatoes to a guard's house. Jervelund said that in the first case he had found the blankets in the back of a guard's car after noticing a reformatory trusty near the vehicle. He said he had reported the matter to the guard who owned the car and it was dis- covered later that three windows of the equipment store had been opend, "I was criticized for not report- ing the matter to my senior offi- cer immediately," he added. Jervelund said it was "not un- usual" for prisoners to leave and enter the reformatory as they pleased. "One man was placed in a cell for being drunk and anoth- er was found durunk in th din- ing room and told a guard to go to th devil { front of a large group of inmates," he added, Big Saving Noted By Power Ration Toronto, Nov. 13--(AP)----An of- ficial of the Ontario Hydro-electric Power Commission said last night there had been a reduction in con- sumption of 50,000 kilowatts in the first 24 hours of operation under the new "dimout" regulations," , , The power conservation order went into effect at.1 a.m. Nov. 10. The official said it was felt un- wise to make any exceptions to the rationing order despite protests such as that received. from the Merchants' Association at Preston. The order prevents the Association from carrying through a plan to provide an elaborate mile-ling over- head string of lights for the holiday season, The association protested that it had spent some thousands of dol- lars erecting the lights. The com- mission officials said many towns and villages put to the same ex- pense had acquisced willingly in the regulations.

The course is in Book-bihding. Fights at Speed of 600 Miles an Hour Bet On Death Lost, Then Died Boston, Nov, 13--(AP)--Five years ago Allan Sharpe made a bet.

Present Solina drive, conducted on Saturday last, reported to the membership of Post 43, Canadian Legion, at their meet- ing last night amounted to $1,445.18.

Seventy. thousand rounds were fired from six guns during' the firing tests, more than 75 per cent of which were fired at plane speeds in excess of 600 miles an hour. In ad- dition to an undisclosed number of Thunderjets now in use, the army air force recently ordered 550 more from Republic. "Kantflame", the only known l- quid fire retardant currently on the Canadian market, was given its Oshawa debut at the Fire Hall yes- terday when the product's inventor and demonstrator, W. H. Clegg, To- ronto, showed that natural fibre textiles treated with the solution de- finitely will not burn. A sheet of newspaper was set afire and was burning as expected until suddenly the flames died out. Mr. Clegg revealed that he had sprayed half the sheet with "Kantflame'. Linen, cheesecloth, broadcloth, wov- en materials, net, crepe paper and face tissues were tested for the benefit of the firemen. The demonstrator did not pretend to be a magician and he did not come to his appointment with the materials all ready to be ignited. Just before arriving at the depart- ment, he purchased a stock of cloth samples from a local dry goods store. Ta a frail net sample, he torg"it in half and immersed one pi€ce in a pan filled with "Kant. ! flame". Asking the firemen to dry the treated section on the radiator, he ignited the normal piece with re. sults which, in a home, would prove disastrous. When the treated part was dry, Mr. Clegg applied flame to it. Where the flame came in direct Cloth, Tissues Paper Cups-- None Burn As Liquid Used contact with the material, carbonis- ation occurred but no ighition took place. The charred net structure re- mained intact until touched, where- as the untreated piece had disin- tegrated with burning. Similar effects were demonstrated with the numerous other samples. With pieces of cheesecloth--identic- al to that used in domestic curtains --stretched over two pyrex cups, Mr. Clegg placed a cigarette butt on each. As the butt burned,. it broke down the structure of the un- treated piece .but the "Kantflamed" section retained its make-up. Explaining that the solution was not effective on plastics or celanese products, he implied that its '"se- cret" was simply to keep oxygen out of the location of the fire. "It permeates every tiny niche in a fa: bric's construction," he said, "and prevents a supply of oxygen from giving life to a flame. There is no such thing as a 100 per cent" fire- proofing agent but this liquid comes close. to it." This rather amazing -agent which stops fire at its source, is manu- factured in Lindsay, Ontario, by a chemical company employing and directed by Canadians. Mz.

The budget demanded twice as big a slice of company earn- ings, higher purchase taxes and o'her revenues, I' also slapped taxes on dog ra- cing and football pool betting and raised the cost of a pint of beer one penny (two cenis), "I don't expect this to be a po- pular budget," Dalton said last night in a radio address explain- in the fiscal proposals. The pro- posed revenuees would mop up an additional $832,000,000 in annu- al surplus spending power, esti- mated at around $3,200,000,000. Only the Dally Herald, Labor, expressed outright approval, com- menting that the "measures which the government has taken so far have prevented "that breakaway 'inflation which af- flicts many other countries." The independent Times criticiz- ed Dalton's "half measures" for failure to. strike a note of urgen- cy. "The country had nerved {tself to face the worst and to accept without rancor whatever might hour," the Times said, The Conservative . Daily Tele- graph said the measure was "wholly inadequate to the situa- tion 'with which, it was called aup- on to deal." The Financial .Times saidthe budget's "most disappointing fea- ture was complete absence from its provisions of any attempt | whatever to reduce the level of (government expenditure." The Liberal News Chronicle said that "while only time and ex. perience can show if his (Dal- ton's) measures are adequate we believe he was right not to act too hastily or tou drastidally, n The Communist Daily Worker asserted that the YLabor move- ment must protest agaiust the onerous taxes which Mr, Dalton has imposed on the people," Disappointment was generally the verdict of this morning's newspapers.
