will not suffer as a result of industrial
conditions created by the war, On
the contrary the war has brought to
some of them a larger pay envelope,
full time having been resumed in the
Montreal Factory of the Company, the
employees of which had been working
only 8) per cant, of the full time for a
considerable period prior to the break-

As about $1,5)0,030 worth of rubber
clothing has been imported annually
from Europe war conditions will stim-
ulate the demand for Canadian made
rein coats. - It is partly in anticipation
of the increased demand for 'this pro-
duct that full time has beep resumed
the Montreal Factory of the Can-
adian Consolidated Rubber Co., L'm-

mend for Canadian made aut mobilo
tires also as the war will likely result
in a temporary reduction of the imorts
of automobile tires from France and
the United Kingdom. The demand
for Canadian made rubbers will not be
affected appreciably as the imports of
rubber footwear into Canada are pract-
ically nil.
The output of the Canadian Consol-
idated Rubber Co., Limited, during the
pest year was valued at app) oximately
