â€" _ THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE [ T# | _ Vol. 83, No. 12 Contending it would be a mistake to confine the expenditure to $50,000, Waterlo0 Rink: Committee, Monday night recommended the erection of v $65,000 structure. C The delegation, composed of Fred Pugh, Claude Necker and C. F. Thiele, secretary, sought the coop,~ ation of the original rink committée to conduct a rampaign to raise the additional funds for a larger and more modern arena. The rink would be of brick and steel, with a seating capacity of 3,000, with standing room for an adâ€" ditional 2,000. The ice surface would be 85 feet wide by 190 feet long, only ten feet shorter than that of Maple Leaf Gardens Toronto.

"It would not be advisable to put "It would not be advisable to put a barn on a main street," asserted the secretary, referring to prominâ€" ence of the probable location. "If we erect a smaller rink of wood and tin, such as that of smaller communities, it might look disreputable in later years, when citizens would regret not having built a better one." Continuing, the secretary pointed out a rink of wooden construction in addition to not having as nice an apâ€" pearance, would be a fire hazard, thus subject to increased insurance rates, and wooden beams would exâ€" tend into seating space. If steel girâ€" dere are employed, none would be less than nina feet above the highest seat, he stated. Mr. Thiele beld that in view of the fine support given the $50,000 byâ€"law by~ the voters, a $65,000 debonture would have been as readily approved. DOPAINION TIRE PLANT SHUTS DOWN Ald. Enoch Honsberger endorsed the idea of building as finea looking building as possible in such a promâ€" inent location as Erb St., and urged a plan of ‘build for 1950, not 1939."

Kitchener Not Perturbed By Galt‘s Fall County Agreement Committee Opens Doors To Compromise On House of Refuge Dispute Maintaining that more may be acâ€" compished by a smaller delegation, the county agreement committee of city council last night authorized Treasurer L. M. Dahmer and Soliciâ€" tor Murray Bray to engage in an "inâ€" formal chat"‘ with county clerk Samuel Cassel and Solicitor W. Mcâ€" Gibbon in an effort to establish a basis on which a new House of Reâ€" fuge agreement may be drawn up. ‘The institution agreement has been the bone of contention between the county council and the cities of Galt and Kitchener since expiration of the old agreement in 1937. Since that time, more than a score of meetâ€" ings have been held in an effort to iron out difficulties. Uuntil the end of last year closely allied with Kitchener in their debate with the county, G.nw;uy council, under a new mayor, Dr."W, 8.

While apparently adament in their refusal to follow suit, the Kitchener committee last night indicated they were very willing to compromise with the county in effecting an early settlement and offered their closest coâ€"operation. Can Agree On Finances Admitting that the financial arâ€" rangement in the old agreement whereby the city paid a certain share of operating costs and upkeep, was "fairly satisfactory", the committee contended they did not agree with management of the institution, parâ€" ticularly in ragard to discrimination between "capital" and "replacement" [r:xpenditures. "Galt has capitulated and fallen iuto the laps of Mr. Cassel and Reeve Peter . Wagner," stated Chairman Ivan Shantz. "Now we can either ride along and not pay until the counâ€" ty takes action or until we get toâ€" gether and effect an agreement."‘ County Violated Agreement The chairman pointed out that the old agreement called for sanction of both Kitchener and Galt before caâ€" pital expenditures could be made, which clause, he charged (admitted by county council) had been violatâ€" ed by the county in building a $10,â€" 000 barn and purchasing a strip of land at $9,000. The cities, he claimed, had maintained their agreement with the county, however. The fact that Galt has renewed the old agreement with the county, does not affect Kitchener, Chairman ‘Shmu said, as the two cities had always had separaté agreements. r‘ "We mustn‘t take too long a view (Continued on Page 6) Ask Industrialists To Replace Wives Of Employed Husbands KITCHENER. â€" Following unaniâ€" mous approval of city council, Mayor George W.

According to General Manager J. A. Martin, the shutâ€"down is not meant to be a "lockâ€"out" but rather a precaution against any precipitation of trouble. Affecting 530 employees, the strike, he told The Chronicle today, is the outcome of several week‘s unâ€" rest over the company‘s refusal to sign an agreement with the union, under the C.1.0. It is known by the company that outside organizers have been working in the city for almost two months. M "We have dealt amicably and very satisfactorily with the union for the past two years under nothinï¬ but a verbal agreement," declare Mr. Martin, ‘"and at no time have we refused to see the men when they desired. We contend that relaâ€" tions between our company and the employees should continue on that According to the general manâ€" ager, the employees turned a deaf ear to the pleas of the management to arbitrate and broke off negotiaâ€" tions yesterday morning. The preâ€" vious day, he said, officials of the company had sat in conference with representatives of the empoyees from 3 o‘clock in the afternoon until 10 at night, in an effort to straighten out difficulties. While the suggested agreement also pressed for a flat increase of five cents an hour ‘"across the board" (throughout the plant), Mr. Martin believed this matter can be settled easily by arbitration. "Busiâ€" ness conditions do not make such a move feasible at the present time," he told The Chronicle. Although strikes and labour disâ€" putes have been frequent in other Twin City rubber plants, the present trouble is the first in the Dominion Tire Company since it located here 26 years ago. s Mr. Martin stressed the fact that company officials are still willing to arbitrate. He expressed the belief that the rubber workers would eventually picket the plant.
