NFU presses to preserve Canadian Wheat Board authority
NFU President James Mayne urged Ottawa to keep the Canadian Wheat Board in control of grain marketing and transportation. He criticized the Marta Task Force moves toward open marketing and a outside grain coordinator, citing railway slowdowns and farmer demonstrations across the prairies. Telegrams back his call for CWB supremacy and legal backing to compel railways to run under Section 262 of the Railway Act.
