CANADIAN ARMY
STRENGTH OF 500,000 AIMED AT BY NEXT SUMMER. WAR PRODUCTION & UNION RECOGNITION. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) ■ ONTARIO. October 5. The Defence Department announced that Canada will have an army of 500,000 men in permanent and nonpermanent service next summer. The men on full-time active service at home and overseas now total 150,000, and the non-permanent active militia nearly 112,000, while 29,750 are being called up on Wednesday under the National Resources Mobilisation Aci as the first of 240,000 who are to be summoned in the next 12 months. The Federal Conciliation Board, adjudicating between the John English Company, manufacturers of Bren guns, and a group of employees, declared that the war emergency justified its declining the workmen’s petition loi union recognition. The Labour representative concurred, and the judge asserted that at this juncture speed in the production of war materials was of paramount importance.
