THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1940 PAGE THREE Labor Denounces Training Boys for War Work 2 AUTOMOBILE FACTORIES ARE SPENDING MILLIONS ON PLANT EXPANSIONS General Motors Corp- oration Has Armament Contracts Estimated at $340, 000,000 Mass Production of Dlanes, Tanks, Ma- chine-Guns Planned in U.S. : Detroit, Dec. 6--Eight automo- bile and parts companies in the De- troit area currently are spending more than $120,000,000 on new plant eonstruction and on machin- ery, tools ang equipment necessary for: mass production of airplanes, tanks, machine-guns and other ar- mament items for the United States and Great Britain. The laggest total of armament contracts.'in the automobile indus- try. haz. gone to "General Motors, which has an estimated $340,000,- 000 of such business on its books. This figure includes orders for its Allison 'airplane engine, Diesel marine engines, machine-guns, shell components and cars and trucks. With the exception of Chrysler's $20,000,000 tank plant, which is not scheduled for completion until next October, this entire plant facilities expansion is to be finiched not later , than next July. Shortly thereafter the various plants should be operating at capacity, throwing a heavy demand for skilled work- ers on the local market which al- ready is unable to supply various types of skilled men. The foregoing plant expansion figures are by no means complete for this area, but include only tho:e companies for which figures are readily available. Smaller com- panies are known to have expan- sion programs under way that should bring the total up close to $150,000,000. Measured against this huge ex- pansion of plant facilities, Detroit area manufacturers have on their books approximately $1,000,000,000 of armament contracts and another $500,000,000 is scheduled to be al- lotted to the entire motor industry by aircraft manufacturers early next spring. No reliable over-all figure to show how great will be the demand for workers to man these enlarged plants is available, but a few com- panics have attempted to gauge their labor requirements in ad- vance. Some indication of the im- men-ity of the demand may be had from the Ford Motor Co.'s estimate that 10,000 skilled mechanics will be required to work on. its $122,323,020 airplane engine contract, on which production is scheduled to start in March or April. Packard Motor Car Co. figures that 14,000 skilled workers will be necessary about next July to man - its $30,000,000 plant for production of Rolls-Royce Merlin type avia tion engines for Great Britain and the United States, Chrysler will need about 6,000 men per 8-hour shifi to run its $20,000,000 plant being erected to manufacture 28- ton tanks for the United States Army. = Kclsey-Hayes Wheel Co. expects to employ an additional 2,000 skill ed men on production of Colt and Browning machine-guns for Great Britain. A & ow Christmas Bonus For', Employees Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. Additional compensation, total- ling one million, five hundred thou. sand dollars to be paid before Christmas, has been. voted employ~ ees of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, according to J. A: Hariford, president. All employees with six months or mors service, including part-time wor.:crs, will participate in the ad- ditional pay. Executives do not share in ine distribution. Similar compensation was voted the company's employees last year. L. W. Beebe, General Manager of the Canadian organization, an- nounces that the Canadian employ- ees of this company will participate in a distribution of approximately twenty-five Shousad- dollars, How to Overcome Piles And Rectal Soreness If you are annoyed with itching piles or rectal soreness, do not neglect the same or run the risk of letting these conditions become chronic. Any itching, soreness or painful passage of stool, is nature's warning and proper treatment should be secured at once. For this purpose get from Jury and Lovell's or any druggist, a package of Hem= Roid and use as directed. ' This formula, which is used internally, quickly relieves the itching and soreness and aids in healing the sore, tender spots. Hem-Roid is highly recommended, is easy to use and it seems the height of folly for anyone io risk a chronic pile condi- tion when a simple remedy, which is so pleasant to use may be had at x 4 # dent of the convention, presided at Parliament Day to Day (By The Canadian Press) TO-DAY: The House will continue consid eration of foreign exchange con- servation measures proposed last Monday by Finance Minister Ilsley.

According to Mr, Rigler the English comics which were quite popular a few years ago have been withdrawn almost en- due to competition from the "blood and thundge" magazines published in United Wtates. From a survey of Oshawa news- | stands it is estimated that at least 550 different magazines are retailed in the city of which about half might be classed as "pulp."

Employables on Relief Most delegates were particularly bitter about the training of youth for war industries while, it was claimed, there were 1,600 employ able heads of families on relief in Toronto. Technical school training was also denounced and the labor men insisted that the only way properly to train a boy for skilled industrial work was through the apprenticeship system. 3 "It's exploitaticn in its last and final form," declared President E. W. Sinfield, referring to youth training. "It's time labor took ® hand.' There was wholehearted support the meeting for Canada's war effort and delegates agreed thas they did not want to interfere with the war effort put, rather, 'wanted to accelerate it. They insisted, how ever, that the forty-hour weele should be maintained until all the unemployed had been absorbed. Government Support Urged One delegate, Arthur Dowell, of the Musicians' Union, strongly ope posed the trend of the debate and urged support of the Federal Govs ernment until the war was over. He agreed that boys should be trained if the Government thought it nece essary and he said the labor move ment would harm itself by constant criticism of the Government's Pros: gram. The majority of the delegates condemned the Government for not giving Labor representation in the Cabinet, and they voiced the opine ion that Labor would be discone tented until it had been recognized In Canada as it was in England. The debate started when Secre= tary J. W.
