The general five-par-cent in- crease. it was indicated in the application. would apply to most types of traffic. A specific except- ion would be coal and cake. for which a 10-cents-s-ton increase was asked. Goal and -coke were treated this way in the other two post-war rate increases. The application also made no mention of applying the increase to "competitive" rates. a fact expect- ed to stimulate opposition to the increase from Vlkstern and Mari- time Provincial Governments which fought the previous rate raises. Competitive rates-depressed char- gea on trafflcgfor which the rau- ways have to compete with other at nciey-are largely concentrated in Ontario and Quebec. The non- central provinces have contended that they bear the brunt of rate increases since they have relat- ively little competition against the railways. A Provincial spokesman here said today they undoubtedly will argue. too, before the board that the impact of any flat. percentage increase should be eased on long-haul traffic for the outlying Provinces. It has been their contention that percentage increases react most heavily against areas distant froln markets and supply sources.

Expect Provincial Opposition

He indicated the interested Pro- vincial Governments probably would start getting together right away to draft their stand. Provinces that have opposed rate increases up to now consist of all those except Ontario. Quebec and Newfoundland. This time, Newfoundland may be included; it has Joined the Mari- time Transportation Commission.

roughly to townships; that all school

which has acted for the Maritlmes in the rate cases.

The Newfoundland Governmentl already has taken up the cudgels in another aspect of freight rates. calling on the Transport Board to give it the same rate scale as the Maritimes. That application now is under consideration by the board.

Meanwhile, no date was set by the board immediately on the new application of the railways, which asked for a hearing as soon as possible in view of the fact the wage

increases have been in effect since last Sept. 1. They also argued costs of materials are up, as well, and still are ascendlnl.

The proposed new increase. My granted, would he the third in a. post-war series. These were touched off by a railway application late in 1946, and ever since there has been an almost-uninterrupted runn- ing battle between the railways and the seven Provinces.

A 21-per-cent general increase was granted in 191-8. followed last year and this year by three related boosts adding up to another 20 per cent. In addition to these, there have been increases in the previously- depressed rates on llvestoclrand on farm i plements moving from eastern factories to the west.

other Increases Possible

The railways indicated today still further increases might be sought in two directions

1. If their operating employ- ees--those who actually run the trains-manage to negotiate greater concessions than the non-operating workers with whom the companies now nave settled their 1 1-2-your dispute.

2. In the event the rate-selt- lng system is changed to one of a "rate base and rate of re- turn.” using the Canadian Pacific

Railway as at "yardstick" line

for setting rates.

On the first point. the railivays said today the five-per-cent in- crease was based on their extending the wage increase to their non- organizd employees and on the assumption they would get a acme- what similar settlement with the 31.000 train-running employees.

These new are seeking a straight 30-cents-an-hour increase. which is roughly equivalent to the seven- cent increase plus the short work week.

The companies cazd that. if the board changed the rate-making system as they asked. they will ask for such freight-rate increases as are considered necessary.

The report proposed that Roman catholic aopax-ate aohodla have Jur- isdiction over elementary education - to age 12 only. It recommended that rights and privileges of separ- ate schools "confirmed in and pre- served by" the British North Amer- ica Act be continued.

On this question the summary added: i

"The report stresses the para- mount fmpcrtance of the system of public schools - schools free and Open to all the children of all the people - and the desirability in the interests of unity to avoid any cleavage in the public school sys- tem." '

The summary mentioned that four of the 21 members of the Commission submitted a minority report on the separate school ques- tion. It did not give details.
