Rail Unions Preparing For Action

MONTREAL (CP) — Canada’s major railway unions moved a siep closer Wednesday to launen- mg new contract talks with the

CPR and CNR. Top officials 15 non-operat- ing railway ons approved a

New set of demands to be served within days on the railways.

They declined to disclose their demands, but informants said the unions plan to seek higher wages, severance pay, more vacations with pay as well as other fringe benefits. The total package would be worth millions of dollars.

The “non-op” unions represent 130,000 railway workers in Can- ada—almost all railway employ- ees except those in the running trades. The union are called “non-op” because the workers for whom they bargain do not ac-

jtually operate trains,

UNIFIED PLAN

There has been some specula- tion lately that the unions were divided among themselves over how much to ask for in the forth- coming negotiations. But spokes- men for the unions denied this.

it was expected the unions would serve their demands on the railways soon.

Union-company meetings were not expected to start for several veeks—possibly not until early December. The contract demands are generally involved and com- iplicated and the railways would ikely seek time to study them before opening talks with union negotiators,

The present “non-op” contract cypires Dec. 31, but if a new agreement is not reached by then, its provisions would carry /on until a new solution is reached. |NEAR STRIKE

The unions and the railways signed the current contract lale last year, amid threats by the unions to strike. The railways sought — and got — freight rate increases to cover the wage in- creases awarded in the 1959 contract, 3

The non-op workers last walked off their jobs in 1950 when they went on strike to back demands for a five-day work week.

MONTAGUE BUREAU OF THE GUARDIAN A disasterous fire at Montague yesterday afternoon levelled Mun- roe’s Farm Equipment building on Main Street and gutted the home of Mrs. G.A. Thompson on the Wood Island road which was adjoining the rear of the Munroe building. The loss was roughly. es- timated between forty and fifty thousand dollars. The farm equipment business is conducted by Henry Munroe and son,

The fire broke out about 2:30 p.m. in the machinery building, went unnoticed until a sudden mushroom of flames and smoke through the roof and eaves at- tracted the attention of pedestri- ans and on the arrival of the fire department, little could be done except check the rapidly spread- ing flames.

Mr. Munroe and his son had}

been in the building and left only ja short time-before the alarm | Was sounded. They reported noth- jmig unusal at that time. Two jcombines. four tractors and a quantity of parts. and equipment were lost in the fire. The building was owned by Murdock Mac- Gowan of Kilmuir.
