Ottawa bill orders trainmen to end walkout
Prime Minister Pearson proposes an eight per cent wage rise as the initial price tag to end the railway walkout affecting 118,000 workers. The Maintenance of Railway Operation Act would allow unions to bargain for two and a half months, then a compulsory arbitration board could settle the dispute if mediation fails. The bill also introduces a transportation act to boost rail earnings and regulate rates, with subsidies adjusting as branch lines face retention or closure decisions.
