Not Given Square Deal

Eastern delegates said they would be glad to approve unani- mously the act. and thus the board, if only wheat were involved. But marketing of coarse grains. used by Eastern farmers for livestock iced. also came under the board and they had not been given a square deal by the board. The Wheat Board. they said. has given them no consideration regarding steacur supply or stable price of coarse grains.

The argument picked up where it left off Wednesday when a res- olution condemning the Wheat Board was withdrawn at the in- sistence cf the west and refei'red,. like todaysresoiution on renewal of the. Wheat'Ecard Act. to the

have discussed was the Eisenhower administration's plans for trying to end the Korean and Indo-Chinese wars. Another matter likely to have come up was the trip to Europe on when Stassen and Dulles will start tcmorrcw morning.

At Eisenhower's request. they will make a 10-day survey of problems facing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. and a study of U. 5. economic aid to Western Europe.

A Dulles said in a speech Tuesday night that plans to create a Eur- opean army appeared to be "some- what stalled."

Higher Pay a For iiural Mail Carriers Urged

OTTAWA. Jan.

29-(CP)-Meirh bars from the Mariiimes joined with others today in the Com- mons in urging the Federal Gov- ernment to increase payments to rural mall carriers.

A. J. Brooks (PC-Royal) said the rural carriers are not receiv- ing a fair amount for the services they perform.

He argued there was no reason why cities should have two-a-day mail deliveries -when some rural areas had deliveries only three times a week. As long as that situation -prevailed there was bound to be dissatisfaction.

T. J. Kickham (L-King's) said delivery should be provided for farmers living off the mail de- livery route.

The members ernment motion Commons committee to investi- gate administration and oper- ations of rurailmali delivery oper- aiions.

W. Chester 5. Mcl..ure (PC- Queensl said "nlggardiy salaries" are paid the rural carriers.

He criticized a Government bill that would give the Postmaster- General power to increase pay- ments in coniractrf This. would leave "too much to one ma ” who could not "help doing all he can for his own people when it comes to mail contracts."

Mr. Mcburc said he would like to see Postmaster-General Cote keep "clear entirely of DOHUCS" which had marked the tenure of office of some of his predecessors.

G. W. Montgomery (PC-Victoria Carleton) said a basic 'raie per mile was not the solution in the salary problem of rural carriers. The basic rate might be fair in summer but in winter It was an- other mnttrr. ,

A. M. Rcbichaud PC-Gloucester) spoke of the grave financial diffi- culties of men with families who were: rural mail carriers because of their ,. poor income. He also spoke of rliacriminaiion against French-speaking Canadians in his riding in the matter of awarding rural mall contracts.

G. W. Montgomery (PC-Vic- toria-Ciirletont said he hopes the commiitee will go fully into the situation concerning rural mull contracts. He believed the Post- mastor-General wanted to treat rural mail carriers fairly with re- spect to compensation. .

crnment impetus.

The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, after a series

of new negotiations with the

The settlement, worked out at company-union meet- ings here after a series of breakdowns in talks at Montreal. gave the Linion a 12-per-cent wage increase and some other concessions, most of which were along lines the companies had proposed in recent negotiations.

Before the settlement was reach- ed ill the fifth series of spasmodic railway-union negotiat- ions in the last week. informants said, Prime Minister St. Laurent had hinted to the disputants in hastily-summoned talks that the Government might invoke emer- gency powers to forestall a strike.
