Concrete Piles Being Prepared For Wharf

Concrete piles are being cast on Bruce Stewart's Wharf and dredg- ing operations are well underway as the Canadian Dredge and Dock Company continue their prelimin- ary work on the construction of the Railway Wharf.

There are 156 concrete piles to be cast and driven under/ the Railway Wharf. Half of these are termed long piles and half short piles. There will be twenty-six sets of six piles. with each set a dif- ferent length. The longer piles will be used at the outer extrem- ity of the whnrf where the water is the deepest.

About 75 steel piles have been shipped into Bruce Stewart's Wharf from the Algoma Steel Company. Sault Ste. Marie, On- tario. They are about 70 feet in length and were estimated to weigh between two and three tons. More are expected soon.

The concrete piles. which vary in length, are 20 inches wide and 20 inches thick. They are tapered off near the end and topped off with n six-inch head of cast iron.

Ono scow is at work at - the dredging operations on the east side of the Railway Wharf. A der- rick scow arrived at the wharf from Tormentine several days ago.

ii. K. To Suspend Pit-Prop Purchases

OTTAWA. Nov. 1 — (GP) _ Indications have reached the ca;- ital that the United Kingdom, in g dollar-saving move, has decided to suspend purchase of Canadian- made pit props in 1950. f right. it means the loss of a $7,500,000 at:- nual business in the Maritimes.

Senator OP. Burchill. New

Brunswick lumber merchant, said last night in an interview that he nod heard of such e suggestion. It would place many Maritime farmers on relief. The pit-prop business was born of the war when Britain's normal channels of supply were out oft and east-coast lumbermen agreed to concentrate on supplying the timber used in bracing mining tunnels.

East-coast lumber interests were

happy to fill the orders, explained Senator Burchill, because the kind of lumber used for pit props was not suitable for the normal pulp- wood industry. Now, France it appears was pre pared to ship pit props. salvaged from forests partially destroyed, ey fires. Scandinavian countries giro were back in the market - and prepared to ship pit props gt prices zo-per-cent lower than can. adian.

2. In addition. some divisional and other officers had s strong suspicion or should have had a strong suspicion that things were not well within their ships.

3. Had the various captains and executive officers been ful- ly informed. the incidents might well have been prevented.

4. In any event. if welfare committees had been properly constituted and allowed to function, it is probable that none of the incidents would have happened.

5. The two foregoing facts contributed to what may be called the "tragedy" of these in- cidents which were subsequent- ly sincerely regretted by so many who took part in them.

6. There was a connection be- tween the incidents and eadh succeeding incident received sOme pattern and some encour- agennents from its predecessor.

7. In future. irasubordination should be most severely punish- ed.

8. In the meantime. immedi- ate and thorough consideration should be given io a reform of the procedure governing the airing of general grievances and to the strengthening and widen- ing of the organization of wel- fare committees.

9. We do not believe that there are any so-calied "aub- versive" forces at work in the navy or that any such ele- ments were responsible for the incidents. Like many other similar happenings, they passed through the usual phases 0d discontent. exaggeration of grievance. folly and thought- less action.

10. The legitimate grievances which we have outlined in our report should be promptly and sympathetically investigated. and remedied."

The report added:

"We have dealt at length with changes in the service. which we believe should be made. and have particularly stressed the trainin; and education of officers, petty officers and men. We have also recommended ii niuntber of reforms and additional facilities designed

to improve- morale and so to strengthen the best and truest form. of discipline.

"We have also sought to inter- pret the wishes of the great ma- jority of men by stressing the need to ‘Canacllanize’ our navy. In so doing. we wish to record that in common with most thouahtful Canadians, we have an abiding ad- miration and respect for the grand traditions and institutions of the Royal Navy and for their con- tinuing beneficent and steadylng force wherever British and Cana- dian ships may sail.
