C.N.R. tracks en Sim- coe street south nears completion. On Monday morning new phase in the construction work will be undertaken when a gang of 12 men will start work on the lying of the curb and gutter. This work is to be done by the city under the supervision of City Engineer F. B. e. The construction of the curb and gutter is preparatory to the laying of concrete pavement on the sub- way approaches and beneath the subway itself.: When the 'pavement is completed the project will have been practically finished and it 'is ed that soon traffic will be using the subway and. the old: level crossing may be abolished. For years, the CN.R. level cross- ing has proved a source of delay to vehicular traffic on Simcoe Street, one of Oshawa's main arteries. With the development of Oshawa Harbor and its adjecent industrial sites, this delay has become all the more an- noying so the opening of the new subway will be Tepar ed as a boon to the whole city.

Henry Speaks On Labor Battalions Toronto, Aug: 8.--"It is not a matter of military battalions at all, as some one has thought fit to lead the public to believe-- but work battalions, in the sense that those who wish to go north will get work and will be wel come," sald Premier George 8S. Henry to 900 people who crowd- ed the auditorium of the R. H. McGregor School (East York), to its capacity last night, under the auspices of the East York Workers' Association, The foregoing statement was accorded enthusiastic applause, and the Premier continued: "It cannot be too clearly understood that there is nothing of a mili. tary character with regard to those Northern Camps. The wage 'will be a fair one, but the wage wiil not pe large enough to hin- der men going back to their reg- ular employment later. Answering a question, the Pre- mier said the Government was studying' the matter of mortgage foreclosures and' the suggestion of a moratorium, Discussing un- employntent, he added: "May I say that we are in close dally association with the Fed- eral Governnput's representative in this whole problem, Senator Robertson. I am glad to see that Ottawa did mot limit the provi- slop to the Administration in con- f| nection with this situation, be- yond stip ng pi Ba HE Jatin | that an account- gvailable for all ed upon.

It may be hard for me possibly, to impress this fact up- on a man who has not been hav- ing what are termed meals' every day. He may be somewhat doubtful, and I don't biame him for it. Yet, I-do as- sure him that we are dedicating our thought and energy to the speedy solution of this problem. I have sufficient knowledge of, and confidence in, the people of this Province that, without any special meeting of the Legisla- ture, or passing of resolutions by various municipalities, I have a mandate from them to do what I think is required as circumstan- ces develop. I simply feel and know that the neople are behini me when I say that we are g\az to meet this situation in an ade- auate wav snd that In the no dis- tant future." Married Men Indicating that the work camps in the North were primarily in the interests of the transient "gingle'" unattached workers, Premier Henry added: "Some use may Inquire: 'Why not the mar- ried man?' For my part I would not say no. Bnt, in the first in- stance, we wold 'like t6 provide employment for the married men at home, They would be handl- capped 'in providing for their board in the North. and also the maintenance of their homes nére. It is a simpler and more direct sclution of the vrohlem, T think vou will agree, to so reliave the local situation that emnlovment be made available to marriad men nearer home." (Applause).
