Had Great Career in Hockey, ball and Other Sports. Following an illness of about A week's duration, Samuel Hamilton Shore, known as "Hamby," died Sunday in one of the local hospitals.

His recovery had been despaired of for several days and he passed away at 9.25 last evening. The late hockey star contracted his fatal illness last week, while nursing his wife, who had been stricken with influenza. Shore's deati. created a painful shock among a wide circle of friends, and will be deeply regretted, not only by all hockeyists and sportsmen, but by Ottawa in general. The late Samuel Hamilton Shore was born Ottawa 32 years ago.

and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Shore. He was educated at the Ottawa Public Schools, and had been connected for the past ten years with the Interior department. being on the staff of the distribution branch.

He is survived by his widow, who was formerly Miss Ruby Legendre; three brothers. Billy, who is with the Canadian artillery in France; Robert, of 289 Arlington avenue: and Leonard, of 289 Florence street: also one sister, Mrs. Murray Selkirk, of Petawawa, Ont. Hamby was working regularly until Saturday, October 5, when he was obliged to lay off to look after Mrs. Shore.

He himself developed pneumonia on Tuesday last, and though everything possible WAS done, his condition became serious, and he sank rapidly. He resided at 591 O'Connor street. Few athletes were as well known or as popular as the late Hamby Shore. He came into prominence as a hockeyist when in the Public Snoot hockey League, later graduating to the City League, in which he played as A member of the Bank Note and Beaver teams. He played his first senior hockey when only seventeen years old, being grabbed up by the Ottawas for their memorable Stanley Cup series against the Dawson City team.

Shore played a couple of games In 1905 and again in 1906, being a member of the Ottawa team which defeated Wanderers in the famous play -off for the Federal League championship and the Eastern honors, with which went the Stanley Cup. He was the youngest member of the celebrated "Silver Seven," which became disorganized a year or So after Hamby's senior debut. After establishing a big reputation for himself in the East, Hamby moved to Winnipeg, and was 8 member of the Maple Leaf team of that city, which came down and played Wanderers at Montreal for the Stanley Cup. Then he returned to Ottawa, and had since, with the exception of one or two seasons, been a regular member of the Ottawa team. Humby originally broke into senior hockey as a forward, and played his first games with the Senators at left wing.

Following Fred Taylor's spectacular jump to the Rentrew team In the season of 1909, the Ottawas decided to make a change, and Shore was shifted back to the defence. He immediately made and became one of the most sensational cover points in the game. He figured on the chamwas pion Ottawa regarded as team one of of 1911 the and greatest all- 1915. and round skaters and stickhandlers in Canada. He went to the Coast several years member of Art Ross' All Star ago team, and then journeyed out with the Ottawas when they played Vancouver for the Stanley Cup in 1915.

Shore played brilliant hockey for the Ottawas in 1917, but suffered from a cold and injuries for the greater part of last winter, and was finally obliged to drop out. It was doubtful if he would have played during the coming winter, as his throat had been troubling him considerably, and he had been advised not to resumne hockey. Hamby retained throughout his brilliant hockey career. the wonderful speed, which made him so successful, and he was a great favorite with hockey followers, not only in Ottawa, where every move he made was cheered, but at Toronto, Montreal and in other parts of the circult. He coached several amateur teants in Ottawa, and was a warm, personal friend of Mr.

L. N. Bate. president of the Ottawas. Few, if any, of Ottawa's athletes had as many friends around the Capital as the late Hamby Shore and his smiling, boyish face will be sadly missed.

President Bate, Secretary Rosenthal, and other officers of the Ottawa Club paid warm tributes last night to the late player, whose death they greatly members regretted. Manager Gerard and other the Ottawas were stunned by the news of the passing of their team- mate. Hamby's condition had been reported as serious, but friends felt that his rugged constitution would pull him through, and none could believe that the famous hockeyist had played his last game. Matches in Ottawa henceforth will not seem complete without the lightning corkscrew rushes of the fair -haired athlete, whose name has for many years been closely linked with the fortunes of the greatest of the red, white and black sextetm. addition to being a hockey player of In the first calibre, the late Hamby Shore was also a bowler of note, figuring on several of the championship teams of the Civil Service League.

He also played baseball in the Civil Service series, and had been member of the Ottawa footbail team for several seasons, during which he distinguished himself as a half back. He was one of the organizers last fall of the City Patriotic League. Of recent years the late "Clymer" Shore became an enthusiastic follower of the thoroughbred sport. Shore made a close study of the racing game, and there were few of its features he did not know intimately. He bought a racing mare, Vivian several years ago, and entered her on the Canadian and American circoits until she sustained an injury that forced her retirement.

Hamby spent a good deal of his time this year in trying back to get the little Canadian-bred mare into condition, and was hopeful that she yould be able to go after some of the Provincial purses when racing was sunned in Canada.

Rich Thick -1 Fruit CITIZEN OF LABOR INFRINGED UPON, TOM MOORE SAYS Times Too Critical "to Trifle and Experiment With Men's Passions," Refer ring to Non-Strike Order. Government legislation prohibiting strikes and, lockouts in Canada in war time, has brought forth a vigorous protest from Tom Moore, president of the Dominion Trades and Labor Congress. He takes the position that the new order infringes upon the rights of labor and warns the government that times are too critical "to trifle and experiment with men's passions as the government now seems to be Mr.

Moore "The order-in-council passed, providing for compulsory acceptance of the findings of arbitration boards, will undoubtedly be protested by organized labor throughout the entire Dominion. "The right to strike is the foundation of industrial liberty. The workers as A whole have used this right judiciously and the labor department of the government have continually published statements showIng that Canada has been and still is freer from strikes than any other of the allied countries at war. Where strikes have occurred a very large majority of the cases have been proved after investigation to have been justified by the workers. Any attempt to compel free men to work under conditions known to be unfair to themselves, creates resentment and unrest, and is doomed to a failure.

"The goodwill of a nation's workers, can be obtained by fair treatment but cannot be forced by orderin-council, and without that goodwill in industry, a worker is valueless. England tried a similar measure, but found it advisable to restore full freedom to her workers. It would be interesting to know who were the instigators and advisors of the government in this latest war measure. A Strange Contradiction. "With the government refusing arbitration to their employes in the recent case of the postal employes, the present demands of the Montreal harbor employes, department of marine employes Quebec, Sorel, and other similar cases, it is indeed a strange contradiction to issue an order compelling arbitration with private employers.

"The organized workers have cooperated to the full with this government on all committees, having to deal with war measures, such as the War Trade Board, Canada Re- lishment, Victory Loans, gistration Soldiers' Re-ontab- Patriotic funds, Labor committee. Labor Appeal Board. Employment bureaux, and were promised in return, the full co-operation of the government on war measures affect. ing labor, and yet within a couple In of weeks, without consultation with labor's representatives on any of the above named boards, or with the resident officers of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, (with whom are affiliated nearly 120,000 workers), three of the most farreaching measures to control labor have been promulgated by order-in- 6 counell. "The first prohibits the possession of, printing or circulation of sary trades union literature and instructions, in foreign languages.

"The second one prohibits holdIng of any meetings in enumerated foreign languages, thus preventing other than English-speaking ployes from discussing Jointly industrial "grievances or making rangements to place such grievances before arbitration boards, and continuing other legal activities of trades unions. "And thirdly, the one just issued preventing men from leaving their employment other than as individuals, however unsatisfactory or just the conditions of employment may be. "And with the war past its crisis and prospects brighter than ever for full victory, what is to be the next? "Labor's loyalty is indeed being proven by the unequalled patience it exercising, but the government should heed the ominous signs of a coming real industrial storm and move some of these obvious injustices before it is too late. "The times are too critical, and civilization has yet too much at stake to trifle and experiment with men's passions as the government seem now to be doing. "Under a flimsy excuse cessity the government should not exploit men's determination win the war, by inflicting such measures as the ones referred to, and thus sowing seeds future industrial war which will make the period reconstruction all the more difficult."

VICE-PRESIDENT AND MANAGING DIRECTOR'S ADDRESS. Addressing the shareholders, Mr. W. A. Black, the Vice- Preside and Managing Director, said: It is with much pleasure that we present to our shareholders anothi very satisfactory statement.

account of our inability to secure sufficient wheat, the output our flour mills during the past year was somewhat less than the previol year, the supply of wheat for all Canadian mills being under the contr of the Food Board, which allotted to the proportionate share wheat that was available for the mills to The capacity of our cereal mills was increased during the year, th output being materially increased, and finding ready sale at satisfacto1 prices. Our trading grains and other commodities was large and profi able, and these profits, together with income from investments, give nearly sixty per cent. of our total profits. The turnover for the year was $56,657,117, of $40,412,848 wt on the sale of the products of our flour mills, the profits from the operi tion of which netted us $832,910.50, or only a shade over (2.06%. be exact), on the turnover, a figure which is, indeed, very low, and on possible of returning a reasonable profit on account of the very lari amount involved.

I have particularly drawn this matter to your attentid because the impression seems to prevail with some that the flour are unduly large, which these figures clearly demonstrate is not the cas Realizing that our business is much more subject to market chang than is generally the case, it has been the policy of your Directors to carl the large required by our mills and the product of same, also investments, at a most safe and conservative figure, but owin to Government requirements, and feeling the advisability of our shar holders realizing that proper provision has been made to take care of sudden change in values, you will note that a Contingent Reserve Accoul has been established to provide against such a contingency. With flor and wheat from two to three times normal values, it is only natural thi there should be some anxiety in the minds of our shareholders in th respect. This reserve, however, must be regarded as likely to be require for the purpose named. We profited bus the advance to the present hig prices, and as it is hardly possible for to avoid some loss when norm values again prevail, and having in mind the different matters referred in this connection. it is well that proper provision be made and shown.

We continue to contribute largely to the Income and Business Profi Taxes, our contribution this year again exceeding the dividends paid the shareholders of our ordinary stock. There has been practically change in the holdings of our shareholders during the year, the a averag holdings being 34 shares. The outlook for this year is hardly as promising as last: Firstly, fo the reason that the Government has felt it necessary to adopt the us of the same quantity of substitutes for flour as is used by our Allies, whic means a reduction in the use of wheat flour in Canada by some 20 pe cent. Secondly, the export outlook is not as bright as it was a year agi but your Management feel confident of the maintenance of a satisfactor return to the shareholders. DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
