Acting to Premier Points Out

To M. P.’s C. N.

Hon. B. Earle‘ MacDonald, Pro- vincial Treasurer .and Acting Premier of the Province, in a letter ‘addressed to the four fed- eral members of Parliament at Ottawa, brings to the attention of the Island representatives the implications involved in the lay- off of sect-ion men on the Island Division of the Canadian National Railways. ’

Dear Sir:

The-letter reads as follows:

Nodoubt, by. this time, you will have heard something with regard-to the abolition of twenty-one permanent positions in the Maintenance and Ways De- partment of the Canadian Nat- ional Railways,‘ Island Division.

- These employees are men with

much service ' and when these positions became vacant it means that some one else on the section

R. Layoff Here

must do the maintenance work.

When I worked on the railway from 1930 to 1945 there were al- ways employed five regular men on one extra, man on each sect- ion. Since that time the sections have been ‘lengthened ‘and’ the number of men decreased.

With the inferior road bed that exists on this division this will mean the travelling public may not be safe in the passenger, ser- vice cars." It is a well known fact that the road bed has been con- sidered worse than in other pro- vinces‘ by the Railway. Board of Commissioners because orders have been issued to travel at a low rate of speed.

This twenty per cent reduction in the staff is not only a hardship on the people concerned but a detriment to the Island economy.

I know that everyone concerned will appreciate your efforts to- wards a solution to the problem.

According to the Principal of the Vocational School, Mr. Ed- ward Mla.cPlhail, the whirling action is effected by placing the cup, which is made of alum- Inum and. non-magnetic, in a re-
