REPRESENTATIVE=RICHARD COWAN - BOWMANVILLE ~~ ARE DOING WELL MOST OF THEM VERY BUSY 'AT PRESENT tl Sign of Unemployment 'Except for Some G.M.C. -« Workers (By Staff' Reporter) : Bowmanville, Aug, 14.--With the General Motors in Oshawa suf- fering from the seasonal slurp, which also effects other busicess there, local people are wondering how conditions are here. The Times representative on waking fnquiries, finds that all the fac- tories in Bowmanville are working at practically full strength. This seems to be the busy season for the majority of them. In another few weeks those which are not so busy now expect to be going at full strength if not overtime. The Canada Slicer Corporation is travelling along with a full en- rollment of employees. At present the staff is kept quite busy al- though the outlook on the next few months' business is not quite so bright. This will not, however, affect any of the employees, The Goodyear Plant The Goodyear plant is of course at full strength, and the fact that they are building a new addition # year at present is the busiest fac- (tory in Bowmanville. With a -full night. shift going Bowmanville is having its name put up all over the map by the fine goods that are manufactured at this plant. ~ The Whiz Company The 'R. M. Hollingshead ' Com- pany of Toronto, more commonly known locall. as the Whiz factory, is another with a full quota of employees. At present the busi ness is between the summer rush and the winter rusk although the number of employees remains the same. Soon the work on the win- ter goods such as anti-freeze, win- ter greases and other of their winter manufactures will start. The men will then be put to work on extra hours with possibly employ- ment for a few extra hands. The Foundry Company If all the local factories were like the Bowmanville Foundry Company, Bowmanville would be indeed fortunate. The Foundry Is always busy. If there is any rush, the men work anywhere from twelve to fifteen hours a day. There is never any slump period and it is steady employment all the year around for the employees. The Canning Factory The Canning factory is at pres- ent not very busy due to the lack of peas, Just as soon as a shipment of peas arrives, which is likely within the next week or two the factory will be at full strength, Organ and Piano Compan The Dominion Organ and Pianc Factory, has, of course, been fall- ing off somewhat during the last few years. The number of hands is small compared to twenty odd years ago, However, business is still 'being carried on in a small way, and those who are working there now have steady jobs. | Then too there has been a num- ing so well, The amount of unem- loyment in Bowmanville is very small, although the General Mot- org slump has affected some people: ber of local people who have gone | west with the harvesters, but this year are unable to do so due to the conditions in western Canada. * Farmers around Bowmanville are asking for help, so that no person on remain long out of work, e is always a demand fduagy. and there js mo reason why many should not take up the following of the reaper and binder as at least temporary eiu- ployment. ROTARY CLUB HAS AMBITIOUS PLANS FOR ITS CARNIVAL 48th Highlanders' Band of Toronto Will be One of Features for men in. this most important basic 1 (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Aug. 14.--The, Rotary club are sparing nothing in their efforts to make their Rotary Carnival which is to be held Tues- day evening, August 20 and not the 21st ag previously stated, to make it a 'great success, Among the many out of town attractions will be the 48th Highlanders band of Toronto that proved so enter- taining at the General Motors pic- nic. A band like this always at- tracts a great deal of attention in Bowmanville because of the lack of a local band. A new device will be put forth - from the booths. Horse racing will be another form of entertainment to rival those of the other games. The tickets for.the draw on the Radio, Goodyear Tires and the Radiant Appliances are selling like hot cakes, as the prizes are at- tracting plenty of attention in the proves that a great volume of busi- ness is being done there.

PIRATES TO PLAY IN TOURNAMENT (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Aug. 14.--This af- ternoon the fast travelling Bow- 'manville Pirates are journeying to Pontypool: where they have en- tered the hardball tournament that ig" being held there. So far as is known locally there are five teams entered, including Pontypool, Orono, Newcastle, Bowmanville Pirates and the fast Raybestos team from Peterborough who are out in front of the Intermediate Lakeshore loop, The Pirates are going down at full strength and intend to bring home the bacon, Manager Percy Lunn is using Dutch Osborne on the mound, Dutch having delayed his depart- ure for South Porcupine. Few pitchers around here can compare with Dutch and no doubt the locals will end up out in front. REV. R. MCDERMENT PLANS RETIREMENT (By Staff Reporter) Bowmahville, Aug. 14.--Among the many items to be considered at the next meeitng of Presbytery at Port Hope on December the 10th is the resignation of Rev. Robt. McDerment of St, Andrew's church who is retiring from the active work of the ministry after 42 years of active service, No doubt Rev. McDerment will be superannuated as he has given the best to his work and has estab- lithed a wide reputation as a valu- able member of the ministry. DETROIT PLANE CRASHES IN LAKE (Continued from Page 1) piloted by Ralph Devore and Otis, which left Cleveland base at daybreak its regular monthly meeting. today is searching over the lake with nother plane sent out from De- roit. A coast guard cutter and sev- ral steamers joined the hunt this orning. The Miss Detroit crashed 30 minu- :s after it left Cleveland yesterday n its regular scheduled flight to 'etroit, Thompson officials reported. Clear weather prevailed at the out- ot of the trip ut a heavy fog was 'ncountered four miles west of Pelee sland. Pilot Caldwell misjudged 'the kyline in the fog and crashed while etting his ship down in the water, ccording to the same report. The wings were smashed. The ship turned over and filled rapidly with water, Crawling onto the up- turned cabin the four occupants don- ned the life belts, After clinging there for an hour the quartet de- cided to swim south in the darkness in hope of reaching the regular steamer lane and they became sep- arated in the darkness. Lapole, swimming alone was the first rescued after his shouts had been heard by the Denmark, bound up for the Lake Superior ports. The Denmark stood by for three hours as did the Midland King which, sub- sequently had picked up Mrs, Little and the pilot, Caldwell.

JS OS SOCCER GAME ON BRODKLIN FIFI Claremont Team Was Lead- ing 3 to 0--Will Be Replayed (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Aug. 14.--The play-off game staged last night at Brooklin bitween the Whitby Hospital and Claremont in the semi finals in the Sinclair cup league, will be re- played at some future date, ac- cording to the decision made by the executive at a meeting held immediately after the game had been called due to darkness. When the game wag called dur- ing the second half, Claremont were leading with a score of 3 to 0 in their favor. The decision to re- play the game will give the Hos- pital another chance in their bat- tle for the silverware. The local team were decidedly not at their best last night, seem- ing to lack their usual initiative gnd to many of the fans appeared if anything to be over-trained. Many a time the ball was carried down the field, almost to the goal mouth, but the team lacked tneir usual scoring ability and punch around the net. Clever Football The Claremont team were right there and played clever football all through the contest. The Clare- mont boys carried the ball up the field with clever team work and bored in hard on their opponents' goal, taking advantage of every op- portunity to shoot on the net. During the second half the game had to be called due to darkness, and will give the local team anoth- er chance to do their stuff. 'Ine hospital team have defeated Clare- mont, and have tied them several times in the past so should not be discouraged by 'last night's per- formance. Referee G. Eccles, of Toronto, had charge of the game and proved very satisfactory to both teams. Whitby Hospital--Goal, O'Neill; backs, Rosser and Murray; halves, Manson, Smythe and Rich; ror- wards. McDonald. Clarke, Court- ney, Harris and McQuarrie. RALLY IN NINTH TIES UP GAME Tuxis Boys Overcome 11 Run Lead in Last Inning (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Aug. 14.--The Tuxis boys staged a grand batting rally in the ninth inning in the town lea- gue game played last night against the Estrads, scoring 11 runs to tie the score 15-all. From the very first the Estrads took the lead when they scored 5 runs in the first inning and kept piling up the score till it stood 15 to 4 in their favor, when the Tuxis boys went to bat the last of the ninth. During that sensational inning the citizens who live in the neigh- borhood of the town park must have had visions of another earth- quake, so loud was the cheering of the many excited fans, that it 1s reported the nearby buildings shook. The Estrads without a doubt played their best game of the sea- son, showing much improved form over any previous performance. Newt. Joynt operated the game from the pitcher's box, and served up some nasty twisters that proved hard for the opposing batters. His battery mate, Lomax, played well, and made some excellent catches to put a number of runners out at home plate. Their team mates In the field played airtight ball all through the contest and displayed clever fielding ability until the 9th when the visibility was so poor that a number of errors weré made which resulted in runs for their opponents. Fighting Spirit : The Tuxis boys played a good brand of softball all through and are to be commended for their fighting spirit whieh won for them the eleven runs to tie the game and save them from a& bad trimming, and their reputation of never hav- Ling lost a game to date In the ser- fes. Moonshine Clements for the Tuxis batted well with two three baggers and a double to his credit. It was in the ninth that Moonsnine started the ball rolling when he clouted a three bagger with the bases loaded. Sleeman also clout- The Whitby Daily Times REPRESENTATIVE -- Whithy Office, Dundas Street, 434 . I~ -- ed the ball for three bases with 3 on, in the same frame. - Mayne in the box for the Tuxis, pitched god ball and shode coolness and perve in extracting himself from many tight places. He was well supported by his battery mate, Baker, and by the entire team in the field. Failed to Touch First Scott, for the Estrads, clouted the ball for a dandy homer in the ninth, but was called out, due to his failure to touch first base. This error on Scott's part; proved cost- ly as this run would have been the deciding point in the Estrad's fa. vor. His drive, however, was ex- cellent and the best of the gume. Umpires Forrester and Brown kept the game lively at all times. Forrester gave entire satisfaction in his decisions behind the plate, while Brown adherred strictly to the rules when dealing with the runners on bases. The line ups were: Estrads--Batteries, Joynt and Lomax; infield, G. Scott, Bob Gib- by, M. Neskel and B. Shaunessy; outfield, Ed Fegan, D. Parrott and M. Cormack. Tuxis Boys--Batteries--Mayne and Baker; infield, J. Heard, R. Sleeman, K. Cook, N. Clements; outfield, H. Augustus, L. Wilson, D. Maundrell and W. Brown. Three base hits, Clements 2, Sleeman 1.

London will sigh with relief now that the new Cabinet have been wise enough to urge him to continue his good work. Many obvious objections to his appoint- ment were annihilated by his im- mense success in what seemed an impossible task and one which he is accomplishing in a style that makes him a hero to the London police as much as to the London public. Lord Byng enjoys such public confidence that most peonle hope he will continue as he is do- ing so long as he feels there is anything for him to do. C.N.R. APPLICATION REFUSED BY BOARD Leave to Appeal Against Grain Rate Denied Railways QUEBEC SCHEDULE Company Directed to Publish Tariff Showing 18.34 Cent Rate Ottawa, Aug. 13. -- Application of the Canadian National Railways for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against the 18.34 cents grain rats from the Head of the Lakes to Que- bec City has been refused by the Board ot Railways Commissioners in a judgment made public today. The order of the Board from which the railway sought to appeal, was dated August 26, 1927, and disallowed the then existing rate of 34% cents per 100 pounds on wheat, and 33 cents per hundred pounds on other grain for export from Port Arthur, Fort William, Westford and Arm- strong, Ontario, to Quebec City. It directed the Canadian National Rail- way Company to publish and file in substitution therefore, a tariff show- ing a rate of 18.34 cents. In the judgment Hon. H. A. Mec- Keown, Chief Commissioner, recalls that the Grand Trunk. Pacific Rail- road was built primarily for the pur- pose of routing grain and other Can- adian products through Canadian channels. The Board took into ac- count the public expenditure of $330,- 000,000 on the road in arriving at what it regarded as a reasonable rate. The railway company contended law in taking the agreement of July 29, 1903, and the Crow's Nest Agree ment into consideration. When the application was before the board two months ago chief op- position to the railroad's contention came from the province of Quebec, while other provinces also added their protest against any increase in rates. It was-pointed out that since the or- der was made in 1927 nearly two years had elapsed, in which large ex- penditures had been made in Quebec and the Maritimes in connection with harbor and other facilities. Rights had been created, it was claimed, which could not now be ignored. Judgment in Part Application was for leave to appeal on grounds of law and jurisdiction, On the question of the right of the board to grant or refuse the applica- tion of judgment says in part: "Section 52 of the Railway Act, sub-section 2, provides an appeal from a decision of the Board to the Supreme Court of Canada upon a question of jurisdiction, upon leave therefor being obtained from a judge of the said court, as indicated there- in. Sub-section 3 provides that an appeal upon a question which, in the opinion of the Board, is a question of law or a question of jurisdiction, or (} that the Board had made an error in | - both, may be taken by leave of the Board, from the wording of this sec- tion, it is clear that, while leave from the Board is a sufficient, although not a necessary, preliminary to an ap- peal to the Supreme Court on a question of jurisdiction, upon ques- tions which are simply of law the Board's consent must first be obtained before such an appeal can be had. "This is a question of fact upon which the opinion of the board can- not be challenged before the Su- preme Court of Canada, and while its determination takes into considera- tion various statutes and a statutory agreement, it cannot, in my view, be resolved into the question of juris diction, although it recognizes the existence of certain legislation." On the general question of the board's right to set a rate to eastern Canadian ports, competitive with rates to United States ports, the judg- ment reaffirms the position taken in carlier consideration, of the matter. Paid for Service "In connection with the construc- tion of this road," the judgment says, "there are certain well known facts, not disputed, involving the payment of many millions of dollars on the part of the public to secure the ser- vice which it now asks for, which ser- vice constitutes the real reason for building the railway. This latter fact, as well as others, would seem to me to be an element in the reason- ableness of a rate set up. They have their crigin in the legislation of 1903 and the agreements made thereunder. "I cannot agree that the operation of section 325 in any of its sub-sec- tions deprives the Board of the power to consider the payment of $330,000,- 000 by the public for the purpose of the construction of this railway as one of the factors in considering the question of the reasonableness of the rate. "It is enacted that the powers of the Board to fix just and reasonable rates are not to be limited, or in any manner affected, by the provisions of any Act of Parliament--subject. to the provision as to the rates on grain and flour--but this in my view does not prevent the Board from taking into consideration that the inhabi- tants of the city of Quebec, with oth- ers, have paid a very large amount of money for the construction of the road in question for the very purpose to which they ask that it shall be put." In concluding the judgment, Mr. McKeown declares that the dispute should not be carried any further. "The issue is by no means clouded or obscure, and the dispute as re- gards, the questions of fact involved in our conclusions as to the reason- ableness and justice of the rate which the board has set, and the interpreta. tion of law involved in such questions, should not be carried any further. In my opinion this application must be dismissed." BOY SEVERELY HURT Port Credit, Aug. 14. --William Kingsley, aged 14, of Port Credit, had his leg crushed and ' lacerated when the truck on which he was rid- ing backed into the front of another car, owned by R. B. Collotton - of Lorne Park, last evening.' The truck was in charge of George Block, who was returning from a ball game at Clarkson with a load of children. The accident occurred when he was backing out from the school grounds to start his journey home. The hoy was attended by Dr. L. G. Brayley of Port Credit, who, after putting eight stitches in young Kingsley's leg, allowed him to go home.
