Reid Robinson was deported for enter.ng the country illegally and like anyone eélse he had to get outs: The "Red" issue azainst Robinson didn‘t. influence the Canadian government but it seemâ€" ed to influerce the CCL which Mr. Kennedy says is interested in Local 241.

Except for Pamscur the mines in the distr‘ct have shown some gains over the year and mary of them have made substantial gains. The CCL refused to support Reid Robinson because of his Crimson hue and there are those that remember that "brother" Kennetiy refused to have anvthng to do with the Canaâ€" dian Congress of Labour and invited Reid Robinson to Timmins without asking the CCL or referring the matâ€" ter to them at all." Why this sudden interest in organizers from the CCL? Perhaps he is interésted in the CCL because the CCL has been showing quite a bit of interest in what has been going on in Timimins, The recent meeting of Board Member Robert Carlin with the members of Iocal 241 seems to have meant someâ€" thing.

Canada EVERY THURsSbAY Far from his Washington D.C. office, Mr. Redmond was on a grand. tour of the Northern Ontario fire stations and with him was W. France, viceâ€" president of the Ontario Provincial Federat‘on of Firefighters. on a few hours notice the Firemen took their distinguished visitor on a rip through the Hollinger Mill. _ At two o‘clock Mr. Redmond returned to the Fire House to perform the cereâ€" mony of handing Jack McKinnon, reâ€" cently retired fireman, his honorary life membershin in the International Firefighters Asscociation. British and Romans Had Fire Protection Jolhn D. Redmond, president:of the Internat.onal Pirefighters Associatâ€" ion, blew into town vesterday and. made one cf the best speeches on fire preâ€" vertion and modern methods of fireâ€" fishting that the Timmins smokeeatâ€" ers have heard in a long time. tivnal. Brotherhood, Johnâ€" Redamond stressed the importance of such feaâ€" tures of the union as pension plans. "Pensions are the greatest single mcrale builders we have in the fireâ€" fighter‘s uricn," he said. "In the old davys when the men were on low pay and long hours, they weren‘t very eager to get in there and stovo the fires. Often they were exhausted by the heavy work of pulling hoses around." It was figured, he said, that a man at a fire was only good for three solâ€" id hours of firefighting, after that you had to have reserves. Citirg the Texas City Fire as a result. of Oonly having a volunteer force, Mr. Redâ€" mond said that although he had every respect for the volunteer fire departâ€" ments, it was the pa‘id men ard the trained men that went in and put out the fires before they got very far. "When people see the fire equipment roll out of the firehouse and tear down the street at breakneck speed, pull up at what appears to be such a small {ire and put it out in a matter of minâ€" utes, sometimes seconds; they marvel. But when the men return to the fireâ€" hcuse and after washing off the equipâ€" ment and get it ready for the next call and drop into their favorite chairs for relaxation, some silly nut is alwavys sure to say, what an easy life is that of a fireman." Mr. Redmond reminded h‘s audionce that it was through the Firefighters Association that many precautionary measures were taken during the war to prevent the chance of fires breaking out in war vlants and it was through their work that airconditioning plants now ccme ealipped with safety devices. Formerly many of them had fires starâ€" ting in the dust traps, causing panics in theatres and department stores.

Skaters have been having a wonderful time this year Auring the skating school term, over when the men on the job became exhausted. ‘"Firemen had exhausted themselves fighting a lumber yvard fivre and when the call came to put out the fire in a small shack in another sesâ€" tion of the town, they were unable to gzet their equioment there fast enough." But out of the Chicago Pire grew the platcon system of firefightifhg. When one platoon that had been called to a fire had set their lines and checkâ€" ed the fire, another group took over and finished the job of putting out the fire. In this manner, said Mr. Redâ€" mond, many large fires were unable to spread very dar. It was felt that with protective laws for firemen that they would be more willing to take chances in fighting fires nd therefore keep down insurance rates This in turn returned to the publis more than they paid out for their fire protection.â€" Too, he said, the trainâ€" ing that the unions made sure that every man got, kept down the chances of new cutbreaks of fires. They learnâ€" ed how to handle volatile gas fires and knew what they could do and couldn‘t do to prevent widespread destruction. "We of the Fireman‘s Union never asked for pensions and wage increases with a purely selfish motive." Said Mr. Redmond who himself was a fireâ€" (Continued on Page Eight) . Mr.~and Mrs. O. J.
