The expulsion of Grey took 'place at a meeting of the unemployed in Memorial Park yesterday after- noon and resulted in some hectic argument between McDonald and Grey, with personalities being ex- changed freely.

MAY UNDERTAKE PUBLIC WORKS W. H. Moore, MP, In Conference With Acting Mayor Relative to Do- The possibility that a further pro- gram of work, in addition to that provided for by the appropriation of $75,000 already authorized, at the Oshawa harbour this year, was voic- ed today, when W. H. Moore, M.P. for the riding of Ontario, had a conference with P. A. Mac- donald, acting mayor "and chairman of the Finange Committee of the City, Council. Moore explained that he had been requested by the department of Unemployment, a new section of the federal Department of Labor, to submit 3 statement as to what pub- Hc works could be undertaken in his constituency in order to relieve unemplo, and with a statement as to amount of ment various works would In confererice with ih Macdon- ald, Mr. Moore discussed the possi- bility of further harbor development including the construction of a new pier at the harbor, and also asking that a federal building, to provide for customs and excise offices, a post office, and any other accom- modation required for Dominion purposes, be 'built in Oshawa. Mr. Moore expressed the opinion that the Federal * Government was pre- pared to provide large sums of money for public works without the necessity of 'having to secure votes from parliament under the terms of the unemployment measure which was passed towards the close of the recent session, He asked Ald. Mac- donald, however, to prepare a mem- orandum, giving details as to all the government work which might be undertaken here, and to submit it to him for transmission to the de- partment at Ottawa. The Finance Committee of the gy Council is meeting this evening and Ald. Macdonald undertook to place the matter before his com- mittee' for consideration, and the preparation of a report such as has heen requested, TOWN IN JEOPARDY Fernie, B.C,, Aug. 12.--In the peth of a devastating forest fire the mountain town of le to- day was left unprotected as a protective. south wind died down as the first hours after midnight passed, : Fernie's six thousand popula- tion watched the flames. destroy .auge trees and cresp within 'a quarter of a he of 'the outl; town houses.

H, Price last night launched an offensive designed to wipe out of existence the Com- munist party of Canada. Following years of sniping at individuals and minor members of the Dominion-wide-organiza~ tion, last night's frontal attack culminated five months of care- ful planning and ten years of ex- baustive investigation. ' Assisted by Hon, Hugh Guthrie, Minister .of Justice at Ottawa, Col. Price struck at the very foundation of the Red machine. Nine raids, all timed simultan- eously for seven o'clock, began a campaign that may last for weeks or months, in which the Govern- ment will seek to prove in the courts that the Communist party is an unlawful organization. The law's sudden descent upon the king-ping of Communism was a complete surprise, taking them utterly unprepared. Prepara_ tions for the round-up had been shrouded in closest secrecy, and even the raiders were themselves in the dark 20 minutes before they swung into action. The following were arrested in Toronto: Timothy Buck, political sec- retary of the Communist party of Canada, acknowledged leader of the movement in Canada. , John Boychuk, orgamizer and leader of Communist work among the Ukrainian population of Cane ada, Warrants were out for the ar- regts of the following: League, a subsidiary organ- isto of the party. Jcolm L. Bruce, former edi: tor of The Worker, Communist organ, and, {free lance organiser and propagandist, at Vancouver. Amos T, Hill, former editor of Vapaus ("Liberty"), Finnish rad- ical 'publication nted at Sud. bury, and thief . Communist work among the Finny of Canada, at Timmins, where he, lives with his family. Samuel Cohen, alias sip carr brilliant young 'radical been on a speaking tour threngh the industrial and mining cen of Western Canada, one of Buck's right-hand men, at Vancouver. Six Simultaneous: Raids Officers raided six Toronto ad- dresses, and after a thorough search bundled up and carried away in ev- ery case piles of papers, books, let- ters and other documents relative to Communism, by means of which the Crown hopes to prove: (a) that the party is an illegal organization ; (b) that the arrested men are mem- bers of the pasty, and (c) that the party is directly under the ina~ tion and control of the Third In- ternational at Moscow. Another Arrest To-day Toronto, Aug. 12.--Mike Golin- sky of Calgary, Alta., wag arrest- ed by police to-day as he sought to enter the home of Thomas Ewen, wanted by police in con- pection with the drive against communism, Golinsky, who just arrived from the West, was held on a nominal charge of vagrancy.

Mary Windrum and Beryle Robertson, passengers in the car with the two youths on the night of the fatality and who are held #s material witnesses, werz al lowed their gown bail of $500. On the manslaughter charge, com- mital was made on the evidence of Detective McMaster, who arrested Rogers in Oshawa, and the prison- ers' statement after arrest. This is the statement as taken down at Detective Headquarters: Pi s Statement "On the evening of Thursday the 16th, I rented a car at Cox's livery on Bond Street, Oshawa. Called for my cousin, Beryle Robertsom, then called for Lloyd Cook. We proceeded on our way to Toronto to pick up Mary Windrum. 1 picked her up and proceeded west on St. Clair Avenue. 1 was "driving the car with Beryle Robertson in the front seat with me. and Mary Windrum were in the back seat. We were driving along St. Clair. avenue about 15 or 20 miles per hour. the boy was when his hoop was under the front wheels of the car, 3 I hit him. The wheels of the ént right over him, 1 swerved into the curb and stopped. As soon as 1 stopped the car I got out and the first thing 1 saw was a coupe pulling away from the curb. *1 did not see the little boy at all, * The crowd gathered, 1 went 4 back to the policeman and spoke to him myself. 1 slammed it on to the other car. It was a green Pontiac car, | then proceeded swiftly down St. Clair Ave. knowing all the time that I hit the boy, I gave my name as Lorne Cook, 21 Greta Street, Oshawa, and also used L. Cooke's jeim tmit. 1 do not know the number. ter I voluntarily went to the po- lice station to have the «car exam- ined and retold part of the story. The other charge, of fabricating evidence, is one seldom heard in po- lice court. It was laid in this in- stance because Rogers, it is alieged blamed another car, and,"of course, its unknown driver. Mary Windrum was the crown's star witness. Some what reluctant ly, but with ultimate frankness, she stated to Crown Attorney Malone, that after the accident, Rogers "said it was the green car that hit him." Mr. Malone: "And of course, you know that was untrue? What did be say about this green Pontiac?" "He just said it was not our car that struck him" After considerable pressure, wit- ness: said: "Mr. Rogers said not to say any- thing about it." "Who were you to tell that to?" asked the Crown, the answer being "Anyb ody."
