Under the former system the Lo- minion Rubber Company operated under centralized control of pro- duction and sales. The new plun now divides the company into three separate departments of tires, foot- wear and mechanical goods. Eacn department has a general manager in complete control with depare- mental factory and sales managers serving under him. ; In addition there will be a Gen- eral Manager in charge of all ship- ping and service to customers. Supplementing this new operat- ing system a profit-sharing plan 1s to be introduced in the near future by which employees will share the company's profits according to merit. In making this announcement, Mr. Eden explained that the cen- tralized type of organization is no longer adequate to cope with the remarkable growth of the Domin- fon Rubber Company and subsidi« aries whose business has grown from a total of about six million W.

It did not take effect, and it is alleged tnat she tried a second time, this time using coal oil, Two young boys are stated to have witnessed this effort. That the blaze was extin- guished before tragedy ensued was due to the prompt action of peo- ple in a near-by garage, who utiliz- ed a chemical extinguisher. They were aided by firemen who happen- ed to be attending the show. The smoke fumes penetrated the moving-picture house and aroused great concern among the audience, but the prompt actions of the at- tending firemen in assuring the au- dience that there was mo danger prevented what might have been a panic, and the people all resumed their seats quietly. After an alleged third effort to burn down the place her arrest was effected and she was removed to St. Catharines to be held for trial.
