Settlement 0f Railway Dispute Expected Soon

MONTREAL, Oct. 22 - (C?) - Peaceful settlement of the railway dispute over the number of paid holidays demanded by l'l railway employees Unions is expected to be announced this week, according to Union offi- cials who said tonight that a. Joint tatement on the result of conferences held here between the Union and transportation system officials would be made public, possibly tomorrow.

The fact that officials of Can- adian National Railways and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company — the two main trans- portation systems involved ln is strike proposed for Nov. 3 if the 14-day annual vacatlon-wlth-pay condition is not met-had ex- pressed willingness to resume negotiations tomorrow was in- terpreted by union leaders as a "definite sign that the crisis has passed.”

Claim Churchill Wanted Curb 0n llouse 0f Lords

LONDON, Oct. 22 —-(CP)-—Tlie Labor Government. pressing its campaign to trltn the few remain- ing powers of the, House of Lords, recalled today that flonservative leader Winston Churchill had plumped for. curbing the authority of the peers as long ago as 1911. Herbert Morrison. Goverrsnent leader in the House of Commons, said:

“lt is curious how often the lead- er of the Opposition is useful to the Government. It is extraordinary that whatever issue we are debat- ing in this House. whatever the line the Government is taking, if is 1.000 to 1 that we can find some- thing in tihe history of the leader of the Opposition which justifirs the attitude the Government. is taking."

An authoritative Govr-ritmvut source indicated the PFPSPIIL move was only the bogiiini-ng of a imore sweeping attack on the power of the Lords, and that "reform" oi’ the Upper llouse probably would be a key issue in general elections of 1950 or earlier.

"MOSCOW, Oct. 22-(AP>—Arid- rel Zhdanov in a declaration pub- lished today called upon Commun- litS and their sympathizers every- where in the world to join in a battle against what he charged were attempts by the United States to achieve "wor1d domina- tion by American imperialism."

Zhdanov, a member of the So- viet Communist Party Politburo, said Russia: would take the lead in attempts to wreck the Marshall Plan and prevent the United States from making Europe a "49tli state."

He compared the "ruling circles" of the United States with "Hitler- ites," and said she was following a policy of preparing for “new military adventures."

His remarks were contained in the Communist newspaper Pravda disclosing for the first time his summation of the international situation before the nine-power conference which led to creation of the International Communist Information Bureau in Belgrade.

He divided his summation into four parts: the post-war world situation. the emergence of “im- periallstic" and “democratic" camps after the war, the Ameri- can plan for "enslavlng Europe" and the task of the Communist Parties to unite “democratic. anti-

fascist, peace-loving elements." against new plans ‘for "war and aggression."

He said that in addition to Rus- sia the countries of Yugoslavian. ‘Poland. -' Czechoslovakia; canister‘ Romania, Hungary-and Finland partly-here in the anti-fascist front. He said Indonesia and the Vlet Nam Republic of Dido-China were joining and that India, Egypt and Syria "sympathize with it." l-Ie declared that in opposition to Russia's policy for a "lasting peace" the Governments of Bri- tain and the United States had taken a directly opposite tack.

I-Ie said the “western bloc” be- irig constructed by the United States was not in accord with Winston Churchill's plans for a United States of Europe. but along the lines of an “American protec- torate in which European countries were predestined to become the 49th state." He added:

"The U.S.S.R. will put all effort in seeing that the Marshall Plan is not realized."

Trading Resumes Today 0n Winnipeg Grai-n- Exchange

WINNIPEG, Oct. 22-iCP)-The coarse grains pit of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, silent since late in 1943 when wartime controls or their direct result ended normal trading in barley and oats, will resound tomorrow to the uproar which traditionally accompanies a "clay on the floor."

Its re-opening was announced today by president _ Stanley N. Jones of the Exchange, only one of its kind in Canada and one of the world's best known, and fol- lowed the Federal Government's decontrol of those two coarse grains.

It will mean also the exchange is theoretically two-thirds back to its pre-war activity. Wheat is still under control but rye which oc- cupies the third pit_ or section of the trading floor, in the 10-storey building, is not restricted.

No one wuld say at what price oats and barley—previousiy under ceilings of 65 and 9d cents a. bushel respectlvely—will be quot- ed at the opening tomorrow. Mr. Jones, however. said trading will be in cash oats and barley--sales for immediate delivery-and fu- tures or sales for delivery in some

Meanwhile, police announced that. 200 Communist leaders had been seized and that warrants had been issued for 300 more accused of instigating a ‘rebellion’ among Chilean coal miners.

The classification of sections of Tarapacal Antofagasta and At- acama in Northern Chile and Urligglns in Cmtral Chile as em- ergency zones came 24 hours after this South American nation sever- ed diplomatic relations with Rus- sia and Czechoslovakia.

The Government's decree cover- ing these zones enables authorities to take action under extraordin- ary powers voted by Congress in August. Military control also has been established in the coal fields where the Government has been coping with what authorities de- scribe as a. "revolutionary" strike since Oct. 4.

TORONTO, Oct. 22—The five- and-a-half-iveeks-old packinghouse workers strike. involving a total of 14.000 employees across the country at one stage. ended offi- ciaily tonight when Fred Dow- ling, national organizer of the Uii- ited Packinghouse Workers of Am- erica. (C.I.0.; called on all locals to "contact their management of- fices to arrange for returning to work."

Mr. Dowling said a majority of the local Unions of Canada Pack. ers and Burns and Company had indicated their acceptance of the “arbitration formula". Swift Can- adian, other members of the "Big Three“, agreed with the Union on strike settlement terms earlier this week.

At Charlottetown

Local 282 of the United Pack- ingliouse Workers of America (C.I.O.) voted ea to 2 last night to return to work as soon as arrangements had been made between the lccal management of the Charlottetown Canada. Packers plant and the Union.

Premier J. waiter Jones was non-committal respecting the intentons of the Provincial Government which has been operating the plant for the past four weeks.

However. the Hc-n. Horace Wright. Controller o: the plant stated last Monday that the "outside" men he had engaged at the plant had been promised permanent employment and that the Government would have to keep its word.

Dowilngs announcement follow- ed the csufiiiflllireatlillhtbhsrles P. McTague, chairman of the On- tarlo Securities Commission, has been called upon to serve as arbi- trator in the dispute between the Linton and the Canada Packers and Burns Companies.

The Union and the two coin- panies were reported to have agreed to place their cases before Mr. McTague. Earlier. Ontario Labor Minister Daley armouncedt in the Legislature that Mr. Mc- Tague would be available to serve as arbitrator.

First indication that the strike had come to an end was contain- cd in an announcement in Cal- gary by John Montgomery. presi- dent of a. Union local. Montgomery said he had been informed by Mr. Dowling that the strike "is over". The Union leader confirmed the statement with his announcement a short time later.

The settlement formula involv- ing Canada Packers and Burns and Company is understood to call for an immediate wage increase of seven cents an hour. There would be arbitration in connection with the Union's original demands for a l7-cent boost.

The issue of Union security also would be subject to arbitration.

Where Swift Canadian was concerned. an agreement between the Union and the Company cal‘.- ed for s IO-ceuts-ati-hour pa)" hike. Swift employees ratified the agreement and production has been resumed in the Company's six plants across Canada.
