British Comment Rife as Baldwin Supports Bennett Electricians Violated Act Report States Electrical Estimators Associ- ation Was Combine, Phelan Reports (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, Oct. 10--Finding the mem- bers of the Electrical Estimators' As- sociation of Toronto to have violat- ed bath the Criminal Code 'and the Combines' Investigation . Aét. Com: missioner Thomas N. Phelan .was tendered a report to Senator Gideon Robertson, minister of labor. The report climaxes a long investigation into the activities of the now-de- funct organization which came into being carly in 1927 and ceased oper- ations about October 1929. Commissioner Phelan in present- ing his conclusions said he was con- vinced that "the activities of Asso- ciation did operate against the in- terests of the public and that these activities resulted from an agreement which had, or was designed to have, the effect of lessening competition or enhancing prices 'and constituted a combine contrary to the provisions of the Combines Investigations Act." Later, the Cofumissioner said: find also that competition was unduly prevented or lessened, and that the price of the articles or commodities which the members of the associa- tion dealt with were unreasonably en- hanced. There was, therefore, a vio- lation of the" Criminal Code by the members of the association in these unlawful acts." In his report to the minister of labor, Commissioner Phelan enumer- ated a long list of contracts entered igto in the Toronto area between March 1927, and June 1929, by the members of the Association. During the period of its existence, the "main if not the only activity of the asso- ciation was the supervision and con- trol of tenders," the report declared. The commissioner explained the three main methods by which the embers of the association dealt with tenders and then stated "when a member was successful in securing a contract after it had been alloted to him by the association by any of the above methods, he then paid to the association two percent of the con- tract price.

The request was received by the commission *and a tentative agreement drawn up subject to the consideration of the commission. Reeve John Ross, of East Whitby, stated that there were some twenty- nine names on the petition for the water system. He said that the peo- ple in the section that were asking for the extension were in many cases carrying water for a considerable dis- tance, and he believed that if the water now being used was analyzed it would be found that it was unfit for use. He also stated that he knew of cases in the subdivision in which wells had been attempted but after digging had been carried on to a depth of forty feet no water had been secured.

(By Canadian Press Leased "Wire) Toronto, Oct. 10--~An anxious fam« Lily, a father and mother, a wife and four young daughters, today waited word from Croyden, England, an- nouncing the safe arrival there of Captain Errol Boyd, who hopped off from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, on Thursday morning, in company, with Harry P. Connor, navigator, in: the first attempt by Canadians to cross the Atlantic ocean in an arev- plane. 4 The family of Captain Boyd are confident the Toronto boy who dis- tinguished himself in the Great War as a pilot in the Royal Air Force, will complete the dangerous voyage. According to his mother, Mrs. J. T. Boyd, her 38-year-old: son, has seemingly been protected by a fucky star throfighout his flying career, On *| several occasions he has had escapes from serious injury that were almost miraculous. During the Great War, while pare ticipating in a bombing raid on Zee~ brugge, Gerntany's naval stronghold, enemy anti-aircraft gunners scored a direct hit on his plane. Three cylin- ders of his motor were punctured by the shells and one wing pierced in five places, yet he escaped uninjured when his plane crashed to earth from a height of 12,000 feet. Fortunately, he crashed just inside the Holland boundary and after being interned for some time was allowed to proceed td England. In commercial flying, too, Captain Boyd has had plenty of 'thrills and spills. He: crashed on a New York flying field two years ago when his motor conked soon after taking off. His plane plunged 300 reet to the ground, but to the great surprise of airmen who rushed to his assistance, he was unhurt. Several Jears ago while distribut- ing payrolls in Mexico for an Am- erican firm, Captain Boyd was at- tacked by bandits from the air and ground. His plane was riddled with bullets yet he managed to reach his destination. safely.
