Benefits Received

OTTAWA, May 26 - (Special) —ll‘or the first quarter of 1M6. 528 men and women in Prince Edward Island receivedmnemploymant in- surance benefits totalling $55,287. according to figures placed before the Senate by Hon. A. K. Hugges- sen of Montreal in introducing the new hill L5 amending the present Unemployment Insurance Act.

This number was slightly less than in 1046 when 601 persons drew benefits of 851.873. ‘That un- employment in Prince Edward Is- land is proportionately less seri- ous than in‘ the other Canadian Provinces is indicated by the fact that for the corresponding period this year. workless in the Province of Quebec drew $7,164,402 or near- lv 130 times as much.

So far as the rail walkout was concerned the legislation no mugs; was needed. Representatives of Ute carriers and two striking UlllOna— engineers and trainmen—signed at s down town ‘hotel an agreement halting the strike. Then they went on s hand-shaking spree.

Truman announced to a wildly whooping Congress that the strike was over, Grim. urismillng, he interrupted an address ‘.0 a joint Senate-House at the point where he said:-—

“I request the Congress immed- iately to authorize the President to draft i-nto the armed forces of the UnitedStatcs all workers who are on strike against their Govern-
