Makes Strong Appeal To

Transport

A strong plea for immediate oper- ation of the Borden-Tormentine car ferries. thus putting this Island on a footing with Ontario and Quebec in the matter of highway connection with other Provinces, was madeyes- terday by Mr. J. Lester Douglas, M. P.. to the Hon. Lional Chevrler, Minister of Transport. at Ottawa. Mr. Douglas succeeded in getting in- to direct contact with the Minister by telephone, and ' stressed the grave emergency of the present sit- uation.

Mr. chevrier replied that he had been negotiating with the heads of the railway unions to permit the operation of the ferries for trucks and automobiles. but without suc- cess. He said that everything would be done within the law to bring this about. but added that the car- ferry crews are considered 0. N. R. employees. and that other ferry services in Canada had also to be considered. '

Mr. Douglas emphasised that the Borden ferries were a. redersl Gov- ernment responsibility and urged that further efforts be made to put them in operation.

to recognize any distinction be-

tween the Government owned

and the Minister of Transport ls insistent that union permission must be obtained. This was the gist of the information received by the Premier lmst niglrt. who expressed strong dissatisfaction with the ruling.

"This matter of who owns our car ferries, and who is going to run them is a vital one. and we intend to keep adterlt continuous- l.v." he said. "We are not satis- fied and we never will be until the Dominion responsibility."

an-iks offleaals Interviewed

Strike officials the stated last evening that they had been in- formed that it was doulrtful whether the Borden ferries would operate until the strike was settled. i The information was received during a telephone conversation early in the evening with divis- ional strike headquarters in M0n0t0n- The Union office in Monoton stated they had receiv- ed word from Montreal to that effect.

The ouesiion arose as ,1'eI”ull
