Rail dispute talks labeled bust by rail official
Ottawa meetings between rail companies and unions, called by Labor Minister John Munro, ended with little progress as judges and mediators prepared further talks in Montreal. Officials blamed lack of progress on wages while noting pensions and benefits negotiations were closer. The 56,000 non operating workers lack a contract after eight months of stalemate, with regional wage ideas proposed to reduce national disparities.

Canada Economy Slows in Q2 1973 Amid Food Declines
Statistics Canada reports a one percent rise in real GDP for the second quarter of 1973, but agriculture falls 2.8 percent and food store sales drop 1.4 percent. Price increases appear to curb production with notable declines in retail food sectors and durable goods manufacturing while mining and paper rise. The agency cites rising prices and possible farmer market restraint as factors, with other sectors showing mixed results.
