Toast List Hending the toast list, George McCrea, Sales Manager, Mechan- ical Goods, introduced C. H. Car- lisle, the man who brought Good- year ta Bowmanville. Mr. Mc- Crea gave many intimate details off the early organization and told of the deep interest always taken by Mr. Carlisle in the employees associated with him. Y r Carlisle went bnck inta lis- .ýiory and in a sweeping review of events off 1910 and later told af the mnny problems encauntered in stimulating better housing, municipal facilities and the even- tual move ta New Toronto ta take care of the ever expanding needs of the tire industry. But le held that the happiest life was found in centres like Bowmanville. E. H. Koken, former Superin- tendent, with humoraus tales off enrly days, brought back many memories ta lis ald assaciates and deemed it a grand exâerience again ta be with them orr a very happy occasion. Canada Pralsed Chairman Litchfield also recall- ed his inspiring association witl the Goadyear men and womnen of Bowmanville. He spoke witl feeling off the fine contribution of Canadians in the two great wars since Goodyear came ta Canada and lie viewed the future with high confidence. He was proud of the excellent plant here and the excellence off the work per- formed by the highly capable staff of real people. He was par- ticularly proud of the "aid guard" and honored in being nsked ta present their 35-year pins. President A. G. Partridge, while having been in Canada but eleven yenrs, felt at home among those who slared the early strug- gles 35 years ago, and proposed the toast "Teoaur lonared guests."1 He, with lis associates at the head table, lad called a few laurs before an Mr. R. S. McLaughlin, Oshawa, chairman off General Motors off Canada, Limited, one off Gaodyear's earliest customers and still one af the largest. Mr. McLaugllin, iii for same time,t sent his congratulations for the occasion. Old Time Prices Responding to the. toast off Pre- aident Partridge, the Consulting Superintendent, A. M.

Tis formula, earried out daily on refrigerator cars fuill of food for Europe, enables the .C.P.R. ta send off. appraximately 400 carloads off prishables manthly for expert from fontreal. Of this aupply, 95 per- cent is ment. ,To pour up ta a ton of crushed ice daily into ench off 150 "reefers", which is t he daily servicing average in the Canadian Pacifie yards here at Outre- mont, a systemlias been developed which makea it certain that the cars wili move an time. The ice la loaded through bunker o*nigo by means off a shuttle track whic carmes the ice upwards framt a crushing machine and olides it ita the bunkers. Sack-load off sait poured inta, the bunkers intensify the cooling. For the 2,200 carloads off perish- ables for Europe which had been handled by the C.P.R. in its MontreaI yards from V-E Day to the end off October more than 9,200 icings were undertaken. On a recent occasion more than 200 cars were iced ln one day. The Strike a Self Destroying Weapon By Lewis Miligan L Trade unions have served a .noble purpose in sccuring ecana- Smic justice for the workers they Lhave represented. Their original matta, "Unian -is Strcngtl", is suifficiently demonstrated in the great unitcd strength off labor unions off the present day. Tiey are a power ta be reckoned with, nat only in industry, but more and more in palitics. They have faugît a good figit, and they may be said ta have "won the war . They have won it chiefly through the strike wcapon. But having won the war and secured full recognition, many af the union leaders still go an fighting and usrng the aid weaponý off the strike. It seems that tley stili regard induatrialists and cm- ployers generally as the "encmy" off ah warking people, if nat off socicty at large. It would per- haps be unfair to blame the re- cent epidemic off strikes on trade unions gcnerally, for it appears that many off these disputes have been precipitated by reccntly or- ganized unions and irresponsible agitators. This is reported ta be thc case regarding the dock strikes in Britain. As for the re- cent strikes in the United States and Canada, The Labor Review organ off the Canadian Federation off Labor, makes the ffollowing editorial comment on the situa- tion: "Louder and sillier came the demands off unioncers whose wartime opulence, achievcd at the workers' expense, approaches early de! latian. Beffore tlcy go down like pricked ballaons, these parasites off industry and honest toîl have decided ta show that they have still another trick or two up their sleeves. A 30-per- cent increase in wagcs, 48 haurs' pay for 40 haurs' work, and a lay-aff pension off a montl's wages for each year worked- these are their current objectives, until they can persuade their due-paying dupes ta stand out for somcthing mare fantastic," Thc Rcview goes on to say that "for sheer gail there la no- thing ta approacl this proposal off lay-off pay far wnr workers who have been making high wages for years past." The edi- tonial points aut tînt the average pay in aircraft and motor vehicle industries has been nat less than $200 a manth, and it adds: "A country whici pays its dis- charged private soldiers about $90 a month whilc they find them- selves jobs is most unlikcly ta pay sheltcrcd workers $200 a month. Nç govcrnment in its senses would entertain such a proposai, cspccially as it would realize that by yielding ta pressure now it would invite still greater pressure when the subsidy term cxpircd." That is the voice off long cx- perience in labor matters, and it is just plain common sense. If the gavernment is ta continue ta pay war w9rkers for doing no- thing, the money. must came out off the taxpayers. Ail taxes come out off the profits off private in- dustries and services, and ta bold up those industries and services by strikes is to kill the goase that laya the golden cgg and delay in- dustrial reconstructian ffrom war' time to peacetime praduction. In the Dalhousie Rcview for July last there is an article en- titlcd "Is Organized Industry Self-Destroying?" in whici the author, Agnes M. Dennis, takes a very pessimistic vicw off the labor movement. She says: "A tao 'vic- tariaus' Unian leads logically ta the destruction off Capitalism and the deffeat off its own ends. As Hiliman, wio lad succcssfully led the garment workers out off the deptîs off luman miaery, put it tcrscly wlen le reffused ta let lis Union press for further can- cessions: 'Destroy your boss, and you destroy your job'." Hillman migît well have add- ed: "Destroy yaur private em- ployer and yau destroy your union." Intelligent labor leaders would ratIer deal witl a private concern than witl a governmcnt because a govcrnment la ah paw- erful and if it can take over an îndustry by force off law it can take over and even abalish unions whicl refuse ta abide by its de- cîsions. The final result is dic- tatorship. In lis book, "The Time for De- cision," Sumner Welles, dealing with thc situation in Italy at the time off the rise off Mussalini, says, "General strikes off a revolution- ary character succeeded one an- other. Government as well as industrial efficicncy rcacled a new low." A similar situation prevaîled in Germany wlen Hit- 1er seized pawer, and Mr. Wrelles says: "Strangely enougi, even German labor belicvcd tînt a fricndly arrangement between German labor unions and the Nazi regime cauld be dcvised, al- though in thelr case it was not many weeks before tley lcarned their grievaus errar."1 Agnes Dennis la periaps too pessimistic wlen aie declarca tînt "Trade Unianism is on the way out," but sIc la nearer the mark when she says: "The day off Victary for Labor, tîraugl thc weapan off tic Strike is, I lape, over . . . Let us lape this new era will usher in the choice off tIc Man off Wisdom-tlc man off conciliation, compromise and co- operation wlo warking in lar- mony witl management will build up thc Tabernacle off our econamic life, and that it will be a strang and beautifful cdifice-a fitting monument ta the Spirit off Pence." Up and Atem! Ah, littlc atom, liard ta see, You braugît thc hope off pence to me, And made Jap war lords wide awake Ta dangers off atamic-ache. Goodyear Chairman Advis.. Conserving Pre!%ent Car Tires According ta P. W. Litchfield, Chairman off the Board, Good- year Tire and Rubber Company, who was in Bowmanville, Friday, ta take part in the Campany's 35th Anniversary, it wilI be at least a year before the ordinary car owner can purchase tires without a special permit. Sup- plies of raw materials, bath nat- ural and synthetic rubber are plentifful but the lahor situation is the crux in meeting adequate production. As ta quality of tires- made from synthetic, the opinion given was that they would be better vand mare lasting than pre-war tires. The best tire today is one containing 25 ta 35 percent nat- ural rubber and the remainder of synthetic. And costs will be less for compounding, now levelling off at around 12 cents a pound campared wifh 17 cents pre-war. Mr. Litchfield said that Goad- year's far eastern rubber planta- tions were intact and better than before for they have not been warked over by the Japanese. But transportation will remain a problem for some time. Synthetics have brought into the picture the use of rayon as better than cotton and is cheaper as well. It was found that sudden heating of synthetics was due ta the use off cotton. Tires made of synthetic have proved better on cars than on trucks and research is continuing in the heavier pro- duct. Mr. Litchfield concluded: "Make your present tires last at least another year if you want ta keep on using your car." Not as a Hole At a meeting of rural district council a deputation af farmers asked to be received. They wish- ed ta camplain about the state of the main rond just outside the village. They ffound, hawever, that their arguments did not receive a very good reception. In fact, the mem- bers af the council objected with emphasis and much noise. "Look here," said the chair- man, "the rond is fairly goad as a whole." "Yes," replied the spokesman off the party, "but we want ta use it as a road.
