Veterans Tell W; Experiences at Kkiwanis Meeting small engines no longer used, is in service, he said, and a number of extra men have been taken on as firemen and brakemen as a result of the expanding business. He told The Advance that men had been transferring from the station services (section gangs, etc.) to the running end of the work because they felt there was greater opportunity for advancement by this step. Passenzer business was up to average for the time of the year and the Toâ€" rontoâ€"Timmins trains were being well patronized, according to the superinâ€" tendent. Along the Moosonee branch Mr. Griflin said, there was considerable activity as far as Fraserdale, due to lumbering operations in progress in that section north of Cochrane. He noted in passing that freight trains north were running with as high as 65 cars in their complement, requiring doubleheader engines as far as Mileaize 4, which brings them over the hills between that point and North Bay, and he referred briefly also to the inâ€" creased capacity of cars by noting that some of the equipment handling conâ€" centrates from the Rouyn branch can accommodate as high as 70 tons of material. sudbury Star:â€"Then we read about a thief in Vancouver accused of stealâ€" ing kimonos from a dress shop. He confesses to the crime and will no doubt take the rap. Seven veterans of the last Great War gave short talks on some experiâ€" ence they had during the conflict on Monday at the regular meeting of the Kiwanin Club, held in the Empire Hotel. Mr. Griffin said that whereas Abitibi for some years had been working on a partâ€"time basis, the Troquois Falls plant was now running day and night. So far as northbound freight is conâ€" that, following the declaration of war, he considered that industrial concerns and wholesale houses in the different districts served by the railway had been bringing in larger supplies than usual ‘because ‘of wartime conditions, and this had been reflected in the inâ€" creased traffic over the road. He thoughti that, during the winter, the renewed activity at the paper mills would mean a larzer cut of pulp wood: and incidentally, more business for the Those who spoke were Arch Gillies, A. F. McoDowell, Rev. William Mustard, William O. Langdon, William Burns, Harry Bates and George Drew. Several of the veteran members of the club will speak at some subsequent meeting as time restricted the number of those heard on Monday. Announcement was made that Mr. Fred Passmore, a member, was ill. A visitor was P. C. Craven, a member of the New Liskeard Kiwanis Club. J. L. Fulton, President, occupied the chair, and Ernest King was in charge of the singin. Freight had picked up immediately after war broke out, the superintenâ€" dent said, and had been continuing heavy in succeeding weeks. Every locoâ€" motive the road owns, except for a few To The Advance, Mr. Griffin stated that between 20 and 28 cars of paper are being shipped out of the Abitibi plant at Troquois Falls every day under present conditions, and he estimated that probably 95 per cent of the materâ€" lal was being sent across the internaâ€" tional boundary into the United States. From the Kapuskasing plant of the Spruce Falls Company and from the mill at Smooth Rock Falls about 40 cars daily of paper and wood pulp are the regzular shipment, Mr. Griffin pointed out. The demand for paper due to the war accounted for some of this business increase for the railway, the superintendent thought. Englehart, Nov. 9. (Special to The Advance)â€"With the paper mills at Iroquo!is Falls again running at capaâ€" city after a long period of restricted output, and with a sharp jump in shipments to northern points of variâ€" ous supplies following the declaration of war over two months ago, a subâ€" stantial increase in freight traffic over T. N. O. railway lines has resulted. W. A. Griffin, superintendent of the Ontario Governmentâ€"ownéed road, said here on Tuesday afternoon.

Ottawa Citizen:â€"Another consignâ€" ment of British mail containing newsâ€" papers and periodicals of opinion has reached Ottawa, and it becomes doubly clear that the British have no intention ‘Men who are leaving Lake Shore will be given an opportunity to return when the mine resumes operations in the closed areas, it is understood. Th reduction, naturally, affects the whole payrolil, from underground up to the mill, assay office and other surface operations. "It is assumed that the mine will do everything in its power to evolve a methog@ of working the rockburst area without recurrence of the fatalities which have recently been involved." Reports current in Timmins last week were to the effect that the Lake Shore Mine was layingâ€"off about a thousand men. It was not believed here that this could be the fact, as there are only some 1600 men at the Lake Shore and it was not thought likely that the reduction in tonnage would mean the discharge of over half the men employâ€" ed. The foundation of the story was no doubt the decision of the mine direcâ€" tors to reduce the tonnage from 2500 to 2000 tons per day with the idea of closing the parts of the underground workings where rockbursts are feared to be liable to occur. This reduction of 500 tons is a fifth of the recent proâ€" duction, and cstimates given by those in a position to know suggest that the reduction in employees will not be more than a fifth. At the peak of emâ€" ployment Lake Shore has 1600 men and one fifth of this number is 320. Conâ€" sequently the estimated reduction in men employed is igiven at around 300. It is also stated that the 500â€"on reducâ€" tion in the milling applies to the area of the rockburst disturbances only, and no complete levels have been closed down. In connection with the reduction in tonnage and employees, an article in The Northern News on Tuesday said :â€" To Conduct Survey "In the meantime, arrangements have been made to bring back to Canaâ€" da for a study of the rockburst proâ€" blem a Canadian engineer who has already looked the ground over, and who is now at a mine in Mysore, India, where similar conditions prevail, and where, it is stated, considerable sucâ€" cess has been met in combatting the trouble. His name is Robert Morrison, and he is a graduate of Toronto Uniâ€" versity. He was here two years ago, when he made an extensive survey, and gave a detailed report. "He will come here some time next year, and will have at his disposal considerable data collected by George B. Lanizford, wellâ€"known geologist, who was early this year appointed by the Ontario Government to compile all available information supplied by Lake Shore engineers, captains, and shift bosses. ' "The mine has itself compiled a treâ€" mendous amount of data on rockâ€" bursts over a period of years, and operâ€" ates a special laboratory for study of the problem, with four technicians emâ€" ployed. Mining engineers state that the problem is in a way analogous to that prevailing in coal mines whose casualty rate from explosions is higher.
