THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1948 Choo-Choo Engine Sales Are Booming In Canada By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, June 9--(CP)--Canada is shipping hundreds of steam lo- comotives to Asia, Afric and Eu- pe, and at the same time is get- gE started on a large diesel-elec- c locomotive industry. Latest order is 100 steam jobs for India, worth about $12,500,000, which follows a previous Indian order for 150 on which work is just underway. These orders are being filled by Moitreal Locomotive Works, Ltd, and the Canadian Locomotive Co., Ltd., of Kingston. Spokesman for the Montreal com- pany at the Canadian Internation- al Trade Fair here state that in ad- dition to the Indian orders, the fol- lowing otliers have been received since the war: Belgium 160; France 100; Egypt 20; Nigeria 16; Rhodesia 14; Por- tuguese East Africa 8; Newfound- land 6. On display at the fair is a 1,000- horse power diesel-electric switch- ing locomotive made in Montreal, the largest and most powerful ever built in Canada, the first of an or- der of 40 for 'Canadian railways, with further Canadian and foreign orders: in the offing. It weighs 115 tons, is 45 feet long and 14} feet high, Preparations are being made to produce 1,500-horse power die- sel-electric road - switchers in 1949. Other' Canadian rajlway equip- ment is going abroad. Canadian Car and Foundry Co., Ltd. is show- ing at'the fair the latest in day coaches and baggage and express cars; also work train equipment, including ballast cars destined for South Africa, The rail equipment companies don't expect to have many, if any, sales at the fair, but their show of "big stuff" draws lots of attention from world visitors, perhaps be- cause most men have a small-boy hankering to get at the throttle of a locomotive, and they get some of the "feel" even:'in the immobilized diesel-electric, But it's mostly a male crowd. 500 Workers Quit Briggs Over 'Wages Detroit, June 9.--(AP)--An esti- mated 500 employees of the Briggs Manufacturing Company walked out Tuesday after the United Auto- mobile Workers (C.I.O.) broke off wage negotiations with the firm, The men who walked out were employed at Briggs' Vegnor plant. Production was not affected im- mediately, the company said. A company spokesman said the men were "told to leave the plant by officers of local 212, UAW. C.1.O." Recording secretary Jack Pearson of Local 212 denied that such ord- had been issued. He said the out occurred because the work- 8S were "fed up with the tactics the company is trying to ram down their throats at bargaining ses- sions." 'The new sore spot in the automo- bile labor picture arose as the U.A. (W.-C.I.O. executive board was call- ed into session, Union = negotiators representing 23,000 Briggs workers walked out on Wage and contract talks Monday after the firm had offered a 13- cent hourly boost and the two sides seemed near an agreement. A few hours later, Emil Mazey, ead of the U.AW. negotiating team and acting president of the big union, voiced charges before the executive board that the company had failed to bargain in good faith. Computation of vacation pay and hiring rates for engineering em- [ployees apparently were the two stumbling blocks to a settlement. Luncheon Is Tendered By Company Head In line with company policy to be a good neighbor in every com- munity in which Canadian Johns- Manville Company operates, R. S. Gardner, Vice President for pro- duction, was host today at .an informal gathering of a few neigh- bors living in the vicinity of the company's new, multi-million dollar plant at Port Union. The "good neighbor" conference was highlighted by a private lunch- eon at the Guild Inn by Mr. Gard- ner. Mr. Gardner discussed some of the problems involved in getting into production with a big, new plant that will employ 350 local people to start, bring an entirely new Transite asbestos-cement pipe industry to Canada and save the Dominion millions in dollar ex- ange. pme of the problems were more fmorous than serious, he said, but there were enough troublesome ones to keep management busy full time working ouf solutions so local employment could begin. One incident occurred recently, he said, which almost brought the operations to a standstill, In re- moving a temporary construction shack in front of the plant so landscaping and beautifying opsr- ations could get underway, =a power shovel operator uncovered family of skunks. Everybody in the vicinity Immediately took cover. Others from far parts of the plant came nearer and from a safe dis- tance watched the proceedings. Mother Skunk, strictly uncon- cerned over her responsibility for stopping the wheels of industry, ool one baby skunk at a time in er teeth and leisurely removed ) the little skunk to a place of safety. This happened a number of times before decorum was re- stored. Another problem, Mr. Gardner told his neighbors, was involved in getting fumes from the new rock wool plant under control while adjustments were being made to get the plant ready for full production. "We have had prob- lems before in setting up several other new rock wool plants," Mr. Gardner said, "but these have al- ways been brought under control." This particular situation is brand new and in some respects unlike any of the others but we feel it should eventually be worked out. In manufacturing rock wool, he explained, linseed oil is used as a binder in the product before it goes into the baking ovens. This gives off a slight acrid odor which is in NO way injurious to health. Under normal circum- stances these fumes go up the stack unnoticed and are largely dispersed in the atmosphere since there is usually only a 4 or 5 per- cent volatile loss during the man- ufacturing process. Unfortunately, Mr. Gardner said, in our attempts to save Canadian dollar exchange we bought a car- load of oil locally rather than import it. = This particular car- load of oil was contaminated by a high content of fatty substances so that when it was carbonized by the intense heat of our baking ovens it became about 82 percent volatile, "We are not only replacing that bad lot of linseed oil," Mr. Gard- ner said, "but our Research and General Engineering Departments have begun studies and experiments to find ways of reducing fumes and smoke to the absolute min- imum that might be expected from any . well-operated factory." Mr. Gardner pointed out that the Port Union area was for- tunate 'in that the prevailing wind was from the west and that fumes and smoke from the plant would normally be blown.out over Lake Ontario. "It was just our bad luck, with all our problems of trying to get the big, new plant into efficient operation that we ran into a spell of bad weather just as we got the bad lot of linseed oil. The weather was wet and the atmos- phere heavy and damp and even the wind shifted to the east and southeast occasionally for a few days. However, these weather con- ditions would have caused no real problems if the bad lot of linseed oll had not turned up. "Rather than inconvenience our weighbors, the company is dis- posing of the oil valued at about $20,000," Mr. Gardner said. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT "God the Only Cause and Cre- ator" was the subject of the Lesson Sermon which was read in all churches *~ of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world, including First Church of Christ, Scientist, 64 Colborne Street East, on Sunday, June 6. The Golden Text was: "All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou are great, and doest won- drous things: Thou art God alone." (Psalm 86: 9, 109 HEALTH IN INDUSTRY Health maintenance should be as much a legitimate operating ex- pense in any industry as plant or machinery maintenance, experts say.

"There is no decline in the world demand for Bibles for it is being read as much as ever," said T. J. Reeks, administrative assistant to the British and Foreign Bible Soci- ety. Reeks said that even schools in Britain have been unable place Bibles now worn out. ands of copies were destroyed in enemy raids at a time when pro- duction was reduced. Church-going may have declined in the United Kingdom compared with past years but the world's best-seller remains in top demand, mand. " "We must take the world view and Bible-reading obviously is on the increase when all countries are concerned," Reeks said. Another source said that in Ja- pan Bibles are so scarce a black market in them has developed.

Malaya Estate Manager Killed John Ramsden, son of Sir John Ramsden, British landowner, was found murdered at his home in Northwest Malaya last night, police announced here. Police did not believe the murder was connected with the recent series of political murders in Malaya. Malcolm Macdonald, British High Com oner in Southeast Asia, decla: in a broadcast Sunday that Communist "political agi- tators" were behind the fresh out- breaks of lawlessness and violence sweeping Malaya. Their attempts to impose "rule by gun and knife" in the planta- tions, mines and factories would be stopped, and their "bestial cam- paign" struck down, he said.
