Wednesday bowed to the will of the Commons and, in effect, with- drew an amendment it had made to the proposed Estates Tax Act

‘ after the lower House had passed

the legislation.

However, Withdrawal of the amendment came only after Sen- ator Salter Hay-den (L—Onltario) described the government’s refu- sal as “a weak and total. sur- render to expediency."

' Referring to a message from the Commons, proposed by Fi- nance Minister Fleming who had described the amendment as un- workable, Senator Hayden, said:

“It is .only unworkable in the minds of those who refuse to rec- ognize that it requires ‘to be worked out.”

REGRETS ACTION

He said he regrets “the hasty and ill-advised action," of the Commons which Tuesday ac- cepted seven, other minor amend- ments made" to the bill by the Senate.

Truman Sees War Danger

CHICAGO (A.P)~F~ormer Pres- ideut Harry S. Truman said Wed-

(nesday the Soviet Union appar-

ently is preparing for war, has been since 1945, and “the danger we face today is a very real one."

Truman said the United States trails Russia in arms and mis— siles and “for the first time in science we are behind.”

The former president, in a speech prepared for the national convention of the American Le- gion, said the United States must be ready for war.

“We must have the strongest of defences. We must surpass any potential enemy of the free world technologically and hold the free world together. This we can do.

“It is wicked to say that we cannot do this without bankrupt- ing our economy. Two world wars did not bankrupt us. Confronted by total war, we had this will, the resources and the ingenuity to do everything necessary to save our country and our allies for a free way of life. We can do it again, if we have to.” '

OBJECTS TO CLAIM

Senator Thomas Vien (L—Que- bec) strongly objected to the claims made in the Commons by the CCCF that the Senate cannot amend money bills or tax legisla tion.

It was “preposterous” and “im- pertinent.” The constitution gave the Senate the same legislative powers as the Commons, except for the fact that the Upper House

could not initiate money bills. I 1

Three others, Senator William Brunt (PC — Ontario), Senator George S. White (PC~Ontario) and Senator Muriel Fergusson (L —New Brunswick), who had voted for the amendment, all withdrew their claims and support-ed the, motion. .

Railway Fight

MONTREAL (GP) — Here at-a- glance are the issues and op- ponents in the railway-union con- tract dispute:

THE OPPONENTS On one side, the railways—the privately-owned Canadian Pacific, the pwbliclyowned Canadian Na- tional, plus four other smaller railways and a railway express

agency. -

On the other side, the unions— 15 separate unions joined in a common negotiating committee bargaining for 130,000 railway workers, almost all the non-oper- ating staff such as freight han- dlers, maintenance men, Shep workers, clerks, telegrapbers and porters.

THE ISSUES

Originally—hack in November, 1957—the‘ unions asked for a wage increase of 35 cents an hour, in creased health and welfare bene- fits, an extra statutory holiday, longer vacations and severance pay. . .

The railways rejected the de- mands, suggesting the old con. tract be extended unchanged for one year to Dec. 31, 1958. They said the wage and other benefits would cost $128,000,000 a year.

CONCILIATION With negotiations collapsed, the disputants went before a federal conciliation board headedcby Mr. Justice H. F. Thomson of Regina. There were a few concessions on

in calisthenics. Princess Birgitta, 21, has taken on a. $956~a~year job as teacher in gymnastics at a private school.

At A Glance

minor issues—chiefly . the 'health and welfare proposals~bwt when the board’s public hearings ended June‘6, three months after they started», the disputants were .10 closer to settlement. ‘

COMPROMISE

Finally, the board chairman and union nominee David Lewis produced a compromise majority recommendation, proposing a 14- cent-an—hour wage increase in three instalments over a two-year contract period. The increases—— worth $38,000,000 a year-awould be paid with four cents an hour retroactive to Jan. 1, 1958, plus three per cent Sept. 1, 1958, plus three per cent April. 1, 1959.
