Statoniant I By Railways

MONTREAL. August 1 - The following statement -was issued to- day by the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National Railway: jointly:

"In view of the fact that meetings designed to effect settlement or the labour differences between the companies and their employees have been taking place and have been arranged to continue. the railways are surprised and disap- pointed by the action taken by the International Labour Organizations headed by Frank Hall and the. Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees and other transport workers headed by A. R. Mosher in announcing that the members of their unions will go on strike Aug- ust 22. if a satisfactory settlement is not reached by that time.

"Before and since the recom- mendations of the two boards of conciliation were made known, the railways have sought a pears- ful settlement of these differences. On May 1 last. they informed the Minister of Labour that 'having weighed their responsibility to the employees and to the public the railways are willing to accept the findingscontained in the majority reports and are ready to negotiate a settlement on this basis.'

"The railways stated that this undertaking would involve them in an additional expenditure of 519.- 225,000 a year when applied only to the employees concerned and that this cost would rise to approx- imately 32'7.000.000 a year when the benefits were applied to all employees.

"The recommendations of the conciliation boards were summar- lly rejected by both the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employ- ees and other transport workers and the international labour orc- anizations but iionetlieiess the rat'- ways have continued to hold dis- cilssions with labour. and have in- dicated their willi.igness to go far- ther than the recommendations of the boards and give the dissident labour groups a reduction in work- ing hours from 48 to 44 hours a week with no reduction in take home pay. thus putting them in an advantageous position in rela- tion to industrial labour generally in Canada. This offer would "cost the railways s2'7.00t).000 a year when applied to the organized em- ployees concerned and 337,000,000 a year when applied to all employ- ees.
