Unsafe Car Lights
Found In Check
Police Chief F. M. Hall reports
that about 500 ears were inspected
in the safety check program which
ended Saturday. It had been
'hoped that a larger number of
sentorists would have taken ad-
vantage of the voluntary safety
service, Which is provided by the
Goderich Police Department every
THE GOT/ERI SIGNAL -STAR
year.
Most of the ears which were
checked were of a good calibre,
stated the chief.' There were a few
cases where braises were found to
need adjustment, but the most
common fault was unsafe lights.
Special stickers were handed out
to drivers of cars which passed
the pollee tests.

Strike Ends
Boats Unioad
Within minutes of the signing
of a new agreementbetween ship-
owners and - unions last Friday
night, Goderich harbor was the
scene of stoped -up activity.
Workers were soon o:'• the job,
unloading grain carriers which had
been tied up by the eight-day
strike.
The settlement, which removed
fears of a wholesale tie -tap on the
Great Lakes, gave wage Increases
o, 16 . per cent to seamen .and, 19
per cent to deck officers and en-
gineers.
The agreement was signed in
Montreal at 8 p.m. Friday by re-
presentatives of the seven -company
Association of Lake Carriers and
the Seafarers' International Union
(O.LC), theCanadian Merchant Ser-
vice Guil, representing mates, and
the National Association of Marine
Engineers of Can3'da, Great Lakes
and eastern district.
Shortly after the ward off the
signing was flashed, workers start-
ed to unload the S.S. John Ericsson
and the barge Alexander Holley at
the elevator of the Upper Lakes
& St. Lawrence Tarnsportation Co.
Ltd. Both ships had been tied up
since the beginning of the strike.
Only two companies—the Upper
Lakes & St. Lawrence firm and
the N. M. Paterson and Sons Ltd.—
were directly affected by the strike
but other lines tied up some of
their boats and paid off crews as
part of a "strike -back" action by
major shipowners Picketing was
peaceful at Goderich throughout
the strike.
Taxi firms did a lively business
over the week -end as crews were
called back to their ships again.
The freighters Starbuck and
Superior were unloaded at Gode-
rich (Elevator & Transit Co. en
Saturday. The barge Owendoc was
unloaded Sunday and the S.S. Bri-
coldoc had her cargo taken off
Monday. On Tuesday, workers un-
loaded the Fort Wildcrc, here with
her first consignment of the sea-
son.
The Bricoldoc, under command
of Capt. Charles Robinson, of
'•"Gode'rich, left with thee barge
Owendoc for CMlingwood Monday.
There, the two Paterson ships will
be inspected for damage caused
when they were caught in the
grasp .of a freak current at the
entrance „ to Goderich harbor on
Saturday night, May 12.
The Bricoldoe'•s rudder was dam-
aged when she was buffeted again-
st the pier and a few plates were
dented on the barge.
Another boat to leave over the
week -en eewas the S.S. C. A. Ben-
nett, gia- carrier of the Colonial
Steamships. Her crew had been
laid off shortly after the strike
began.
