anabxn t4te mam "Durham County's Great Family Journal" VOLUME 92 FIRST SECTION BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1946 PAGES 1 to 10 NUMBER 41 Goodyear Gives Statement On Local Plant's Position Sixteenth Week of Strike The manufacture of rubber pro- ducts has vitally affected the pros- perity of Bowmanville for more than half a century. Therefore, the present strike situation is a matter of direct concern, to the citizens of Bowmanville. This strike arose out of a de- mand by the Union for higher wages and shorter hours through- out the industry. This demand was made while Goodyear had an unexpired contract with its local Union in Bowmanville. That con- tract was signed in September 1945, and provided that the agree- ment would remain in effect until November 1, 1946. Many weeks of negotiation an(' hard work by all concerned were spent in arriving at the terms of this agreemqnt, in which both Company and, Union agreed on wage rates and hours of work for the following year. Yet, only a few weeks after signing, the Un- ion presented its "7-point pro- gram"-whièh embodied new de- mands respecting wages and hours. The Company took the position that the contract as sign- ed should be respected, but, in January, 1946, a strike vote was taken and the threat of strike con- tinued to affect the relationship between the Company and the Un- ion for the next four months. On May 21, in an effort to avert strike action, the Company wrote a letter to each employee affected in which the following statement was made: "A contract such as ours can be amended by the mutual consent of both parties. If there is a marked change in the wage levels of the Rubber Industry, or con- ditions generally should be chang- ed; or if there is any change in the Government's policy (which as good citizens we believe is the correct policy for the good of the working man and our country), then we can negotiate changes in our present contract." Since strike action was indicat- ed throughout the industry in On- tario, the Federal Minister of La- bour, on May 23, appointed Judge Js C. A. Cameron as an Industrial Dikputes Commissioner to inquire into the disputes in the Canadian Rubber Industry and the Union postponed strike action. The Commissioner held confer- ences and hearings with all par- ties concerned from May 29 to June 21. On June 24, before his report was issued the strike was called and work ceased. The Com- missioner's report was issued un- der date June 26 and was reject- ed by the Union a few days later as a basis for negotiation of the dispute. . On July 8, the Federal Minister of Labour wrote to employees of all struck plants enclosing a copy of the Cameron report and urged that Union and Management en- ter negotiations on the basis of the Commissioner's recommenda- tions. Following that request, the Company, on July 29, sent the following letter to the Union: "As recommended in the Cam- eron report and as a basis for a return to work, we offer 8c per hour increase to all hourly-rated employees and 8c per hour to be added to the expected earnings of piece-work operations, the piece-work rates to be adjusted so that the average workman will be able to increase his earnings by 8c per hour. "We will make a joint applica- tion with the Union for these in- creases to the Regional War La- bour Board and, subject to the Board's approval, these increased rates will be effective upon re- turn to work. "In regard to hours of work, overtime pay and off-shift differ- entials, these would necessitate "anges in our present agreement and could be dealt with in nego- tiations for its renewal." This offer was rejected by the Union. During the latter part of July and the first part of August, the whole question of labour relations was under review by a parlia- mentary cômmittee in Ottawa. On September 10, in its sincere desire to resume operations on a reasonable basis, the Company re- affirmed its previous offer and further stated that: "If the employees return to work on the basis of our offer we are willing to re-open the ques- tion of wage rates and, subject to the approval of the Regional War Labour Board, will put into ef- fect, retroactive to the datç upon which the employees return, any further upward adjustment to the general wage level which may be agreed upon as fair and reason- able in the light of the then cur- rent conditions." On September 11, a letter was sent from Local 189 to the Com- pany rejecting the offer of Sep- tember 10, and advising that if the Company would offer 121/2c gen- eral wage increase and the rest of the "Cameron çeport" recom- mendations retroactive to Novem- ber 1, 1945, the Union would give it serious consideration. The Company acknowledged this let- ter on September 18 and suggest- ed that its previous offer should receive further and serious con- -sideration of the full membership of Local 189. That offer still stands. It should be noted that the wages at Goodyear Bowmanville have increased -62 per cent since 1939. The average hourly earn- ings last June, when the plant was operating, were 75c per hour. At that time, there were 775 Bow- manville people on the Goodyear payroll. Each month these em- ployees had been receiving more than $100,000 in pay-most of which was spent in this com- munity. Since the strike has now run for sixteen weeks, approxi- mately $400,000 in Goodyear wages have been lost. At Goodyear, we have long fos- tered friendly relations with our employees, and our most recent agreement with the Union was better than that in any other plant making mechanical rubber goods (Continued on Page Ten) Juniors Drop First to Dresden After Twelve Inning Game In Ontario Junior 'B' Finals 'Dresden, the Western Ontario champions, beat Bowmanville Rotary Juniors, eastern finalists, by a score of 3-2 in a hard fought baseball game at the High School grounds, Wednesday afternoon. It was the first of a 3-game series to decide the Junior "B" cham- pionship of Ontario. The second game will be played at Dresden Saturday. The game went 12 innings with Clemence, Bowmanville, holding Holmes of Dresden, on better than even terms. Errors and bad coaching in the 10th cost Bow- manville a win. The feature of the game was Dadson's home run over the right field fence in the 3rd. With the score 2 all in the 10th, two on and one out, Strike was caught off 3rd base with the winning run. Dresden scored twice in the 3rçi when with two out Sturrock dropped a long fly, an error that cost the game. Bowmanville even- ed the count in the 8th on two Dresden errors and Dadson's safe bunt. Dresden's winning run in the 12th was the result of two hits when with 2 out, Rundle had a tough break on 3rd when an easy grounder took a bad hop and went Dver his head to score the winning run. Doc Ferguson replaced Stur- rock in the 8th and came close to tying 3-3 when~his 2 bagger al- most scored Strike who had hit safely and was put out on a close decision at the plate in the last half of the 12th. Summary: Dresden, 3 runs, 7 hits, 3 errors, 8 fanned, 1 walk, 4 stolen bases. Bowmanville: 2 runs, 7 hits, 5 errors, 9 fanned, O walks, 2 stolen bases. Extra bases: Dadson, home run; Ferguson, 2 bases. Double play: Bowmanville, Rundle to 2nd to 19t. PUBLICATION EDITOR B. H. Mortlock Announcement was made on October 2nd, by Major-General D. C.

Five New Members Inducted Monday Night Into Lions Club The regular bi-monthly meet- ing of the Lions Club was ad- vanced a week to avoid conflic- tion with the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Members gathered for luncheon Monday evening, Octo- ber 7, at the Carter Family Tea Rooms for an informal session which held little of public inter- est. Hence this short report ga- thered at random in the absence of press accommodation at the meeting. President Ross Stevens had the pleasure of welcoming five new members who were inducted pri- or to general business. These neophyte Lions are Don Williams, Howard Hancock, Dr. W. G. Mil- ler, Dave Preston and Russell Oke. A lively discussion on the con- stitution and by-laws was initi- ated by Charles Carter, Jr., Andy Thompson and Bill Oliver. Many constructive suggestions arose in the round-table debate. No for- mal resolutions were drafted, the main idea being to instruct mem- bers on the framework under which the club operates. Next gathering will be a joint meeting with the Rotary Club, the evening October 25. Warning - Danger Three accidents have ai- ready occurred on Church St. In the few days since traffic has been diverted along that route due to repairs at two points on King St. This re- cord, though fortunately little damage resulted, simply em- phasizes the need for great caution to be exercised by both pedestrians and motor- ists using or approaching Church St. While signs are well placed, the hazards of short intersections still re- main. It was expected that council would discuss the situation at Monday's meeting but the matter did not come up. It may become advisable to se- cure extra traffic officers to guard and guide the public and to increase and train the school patrol to safeguard children on the way to and from school. The responsibil- ity is one not to be disregard- ed. Meantime The Statesman, on its own, calls attention to the danger with the warning to the public to take every precaution and avoid acci- dents. Out of town motorists have little knowledge of the hazards along this cutoff. We also suggest that teachers warn pupils to use utmost caution at street crossings. It will be a matter of great re- gret if any serious accident occurs. The caution . . . . BE CAREFUL. Williams Car Damaged In Church St. Accident Another traffic accident oc- curred on Church St. Tuesday af- ternoon which caused consider- able damage to two cars, the oc- cupants of which were shaken up but uninjured.

The original grounds and build- ings of the Boys Training School, Bowmanville, were turned back to provincial control by Dominion government authorities, Wednes- day, October 2nd, 1946. Formal ceremonies were announced for the event but the actual transfer took place in an informal manner at the conclusion of a conference at Queen's Park between officials of the Dept. of National Defence, Kingston, and the provincial De- partment of Reform Institutions. It is understood that further costs for repairs yet to be done were agreed upon. Immediately on conclusion of the transfer, Major A. R. Virgin, former Superintendent of the school and now Director of Re- form Institutions for the entire province, came on to Bowmanville to supervise plans for greatly ex- panding accommodation anci ser- vices at. the B.T.S. which were forecast under a new policy lately announced. In a brief statement to the press Major Virgin express- ed both for himself and the staff of teachers and instructors as well as the boys under instruction, great pleasure in getting back to their original home. Originally authorized late in 1924, the Boys Training School has developed into one of the finest in- stitutions of its kind on this con- tinent. Its service is devoted to practical teaching of underpriv- ileged boys between the ages of 8 and 16. The first Superintend- ent, Dr. G. E. Reaman, now Pro- fessor of English at the O.A.C., Guelph, established the ground work and developed the policy at the school until he was succeeded by Major Virgin twelve years ago. The entire premises, including a farm of 250 acres and a score of most modern buildings, represents an investment of over $400,000. The average accommodation was 200 boys in normal times. Transfer to Dominion control was occasioned by the decision to accommodate German prisoners in Canada. In September, 1941, Premier Mitchell Hepburn turned the entire plant over to federal authority and it was transformed into an internment camp for Ger- man officer prisoners. The camp was evacuated in April, 1945, since which engineers of the De- partment of National Defence have been making repairs prior to turning back the property. Aside from construction of new, temporary buildings and erection of a dual barbed wire fence around the compound, all of which had to be removed, many permanent buildings were greatly damaged by the Germans when the order came to shackle them in retaliation for shackling Canadian prisoners in Germany. It has taken a year and a half to make the repairs at a cost not revealed at the moment. It will be some years yet before the grounds are fully restored and trees replanted since many were cut down. The new pohicy in prison re- form recently announced by the Drew government will change the setup at the B.T.S., according to information released by the Department of Reform Institu- tions. The policy envisions seg- regation of young offenders pre- sently ia Guelph and Burwash. It is expected many of these will come to the B.T.S. this fall and winter. Hence expanded accom- modation and some revision of in- struction and discipline is expect- ed. Further announcement in this respect will be made in due course. Clea ning Plant Cleaned Suits, Coats, Sweaters In TuesdayRobbery Sometime'a! ter midnight, Tues- day, thieves broke into the plant of Bowmanville Cleaners & Dyers and made away with an assort- ment of overcoats, sweaters, caps and suits. The theft was discov- ered when the plant open. in the morning and Chie! o! Police Sydney Venton immediately took up the investigation. Maple Grove Institute Hears Health Talk By Dr. Geo. Miller Monday evening, Oct. 7, Dr. G. W. Miller addressed Maple Grove Women's Institute on health mat- ters. With an attendance of about 30, the meeting was called to -or- der by President Mrs. L. C. Snow- den and business conducted. Mrs. Wm. Lycett took the chair and led in some commur.ity singing, after which she introduced the speaker. Dr. Miller emphasized the fact that to have better health we must think of commun- ities separately, and as each im- proves, so does the whole dis- trict. Durham and Northumber- land were the first to have a health unit in Ontario but since ten more have been organized and more will be added as soon as personnel are available. Why should so little money be budget- ed by our governments for health research?, The war opened our eyes to the unfitness of our youth and also proved a testing ground for such drugs as sùlpha, peni- cillin and D.D.T. He then out- lined the points on which the Health Unit works, most of which we are at least in part familiar with. After thanking Dr. Miller, Mrs. Lycett gave the meeting back to the president for closing. Re- freshments were served by the convener and her group. Mr. Maurice A.

New Fire Truck Brought from Ottawa Bowmanville's new fire truck, purchased from the War Assets Corporation is now safely housed in the Fire Hall. It was driven home from Ottawa late last week by J. Hately, maintenance expert of the Fire Dept. who made the trip without incident. Since be- ing stabled in its new quarters many citizens have called to view the new purchase. After a new paint job and changes in coup- lings, the new equipment will be put to use. The truck was purchased some weeks ago when Fire Chairman A. S. Baker, Fire Chief L. Hooper and Mr. Hately went to Ottawa to negotiate the deal. Originally costing $8,600 the purchase price was only $2,865, a saving of more than $5,700, which will be re- duced by $300, the cost of current repairs.

Building Regulation By-Law Passes at Council Monday Fire Truck Under Discussion With the entire council in at- tendance, the regular monthly session, held in the Town Hall, Monday evening, October 7, was featured with the passing of two by-laws and decision to proceed with street lighting at Bowman- ville Beach. Among other rou- tine business came consideration of applications for the position of town constable and tenders for garbage collection. A bit of heat was engendered over disposal of the old fire truck now the new one has been stabled in the Fire Hall. Miss Apha I. Hodgins, solicitor for J. Howard Hancock, Massey- Harris agent, addressed council concerning the apparent encroach- ment of Mr. Hancock's new build- ing on town property. She pre- sented blue prints outlining the position which has long prevailed and sought authority by way of a written application to give legal effect or protection to the petition- er. It is understood the town sol- icitor approved the terms and for- mal acquiescence, without preju- dice was indicated. The new building by-law re- ceived three readings and was passed. It supercedes former reg- ulations and divides the town in- to three areas. Meticulous regu- lations for building and altera- tions govern each zone.- Permits must be secured. Penalties are provided. Forms will be in the hands of the building inspector at the Town Hall where applications must be filed. The statutory by-law giving au- thority to hold civic elections was approved.
