Rejected In Commons

OTTAWA (CP) -- The Coni-

mons Thursday night rejected 98-12 a Creditiste amendment to the government's bill to guarantee bank loans to univer- sity students. The amendment would have required the federal govern- ment to allow Quebec 1 tax abatement for not participating in the plan instead of giving the province a cash settlement in lieu of the interest payments on the loans it will make in the other provinces.

Finance Minister Gordon said the amount of cash involved. about 3700.000, was too small to make a tax abatement prac-

Postal Strike Deadline Set

By RALPH SHAW

LONDON (Reutersl — Last- minute attempts by the govern- ment to satisfy wage demands

avert country - wide postal strike were rejected Thursday .by postal union leaders.

The country’s 120.000 deliver- ers and sorters are scheduled to Walk off their jobs at mid- night Saturday.

Notice of the rejection came after union leader Ron Smith reported to te union's emer- gency committee after a 50- minute meeting with Treasury Chief Reginald Maudling and

other offiCials.

The Conservative g o v e r n- ‘

ment, facing the gravest indus trial threat since the general strike of 1926. called in the union leader for arbitration talks on wage matters.

Postmaster General Reginald Bevins told the House of Com- mons Thursday he had met union leaders and had put new proposals to them,

“The government's hope quite clearly is that the strike will be called off and that new negoti- ations should follow." he said.

e was a n te of optim- ism when Smith said after leav- ing his conference with Maud-

. ling that he would relay to his

emergency committee “the pos- sibility of a change" in the gov- ernment position.

However. he soon reported he and his associates had turned down the new proposals.

the said he would discuss the

roblem with the "inner cab- inet" of the Trade Union Con- gress. central executive for toe British trade unions.
