Stations in the Maritime Provinces, Province of Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia * "The management has been down to see me almost every day, advising me that they would be absolutely unâ€" able to grant any increase," stated Robins, "and each time I have reâ€" minded them ‘the agreement‘ calls for the same increase as any other factory in the city gives. When the time comes that the others give an increase, we‘ll show Goodrich," he asserted. Robins contended the recently reâ€" leased financial statement of his comâ€" pany (Goodrich) showing a loss of $38,000 for operations in 1938, was but a "bluff" to discourage employees from demanding a wage increase along with employees of other Kitchâ€" ener rubber factories. "As far as is possible, Goodrich employees will join Dominion and Merchants strikers on their picket lines on Monday morning, and if It is understood that approximateâ€" ly 600 are employed at the Goodrich plant here, and should such drastic action be taken, as suggested by Roâ€" bins, it would mean that almost 2,000 rubber workers would be unemployed in Kitchener. "The only things we rubber workers have put away for a rainy day is an umbrella and a pair of rubbers," laughed Cooke, referring to wages paid by the rubber firms. Cook said his union was still "100 per cent in support of the strikers" and as many as possible would be down on the picket lines at Dominion and Merchants plants every morning this week. Highlight of all meetings since the strike began at Dominion on Februâ€" ary 8th, was the threat Sunday of President Ed. Robins of Local 73 (Goodrtch Rubber) that employees "are ready at any time to go out on strike if it is necessary to help strikâ€" ers of the Dominion and Merchants plants attain their end." "As a matter of fact," remarked Robins, "I had a big job keeping them from going out last Friday." "We have to get together no matâ€" ter what our nationality or creed.

Born in Rome Eugenio Pacelli was born March 3, 1876, in Rome, of an Italian noble family whose relations with the Vaâ€" tican had always been intimate. Thus his father was dean of the seâ€" cular consistorial advocature and his brother, Francesco, represented the Vatican in the dealings with Mussoâ€" lini for settling the ageâ€"long quarrel between the Italian Government and the Holy See. ‘You will finish it here, together with other still more important work." At the time of his appointment as papal secretary, Pacelli suggested that he should not come to Rome then because of unfinished work in Germany, but the Pope answered: Papal diplomacy seldom has had a more able exponent than the new Pope who as nuncio to the young German republic accomplished the seemingly impossible achievement of a concordat between Prussia which in its majority is Protestant, and the Holyâ€" Seo. In negotiating this highly important treaty in 1929, the new Pontiff displayed such rare diplomatic ability that Pope Pius XI in December of the same year elevatâ€" ed him to the dignity of cardinal and papal secretary of state to succeed two months later appointed him ‘paâ€" Pietro Cardinal Gasparri who had retired because of age. ‘ KITCHENER. â€" Chief Constable William Hodgson, of Kitchener, anâ€" nounced today P.
