Manitoba to Oppose Latest Freight Hike
Premier Douglas Campbell said Manitoba will oppose a general railway rate increase of 7 percent now and 9 percent later with potential further hikes tied to wage talks. He argued railways must cut costs and improve efficiency, not raise rates, noting increases would lift freight rates 97 percent from April 1948 levels. He warned against proposed grain and grain product rate hikes to match eastern Canada, expressing grave concern and offering Manitoba support to opposition groups.
