Dangerous Example — i | | | eral.committee, set up several months. ago, to go into the implications of the: MacPherson royal commission report - en transportation. At a Maritime premiers’ conference here ast November, the need for keeping Ot- tawa fully aware of the transporta- tion problems of this ‘part of the country was strongly emphasized. From what transpired at this con-: ference, it appeared that despite all assurances received to the contrary, the safeguards provided by the Mari- time Freight Rates Act were in dan- ger of being eroded in the legislation | Ottawa had sought to introduce in + 1964. “Further eroded" would be a better term; for since 1948, when ap- | proval was given to a general hori- zontal rates increase of 21 per cent, a series of such increases has done much to impair the effectiveness of an act which has rightly been called our tyansportation-lifeline, and which was framed to give Maritime shippers access to the lucrative central Can- adian markets on a co.apetitive basis. ‘If there: should he=a-further ‘at: A marked improvement ‘wa‘s |. tempt to apply. horizonial. rate in- noted yesterday in the railway situ- | creases, the outlying paris of the ation, which appears now to be get- - ting back to normal. But the defiance ef Thursday's act of Parliament ordering striking employees Back to work, manifested by various union locals. over the weekend, set an a example which this country cannot ‘{ afford to tolerate with impunity. It “was particularly shocking to read of angry strikers on Sunday night burn- ing the Prime Minister of Canada. “4m effigy at a downtown railway cross- "ing in Moncton, after they were re- "moved by CNR police. from blocking the main Halifax. to Montreal line. Across the country, at least 17,000 | rebellious workers had voted to stay ‘out on strike, and there were reports of service being disrupted at several major centres. All of these demon- strations were acts of civil disobed- fence, posing a serious problem not only to the government and the coun- try, but to the prestige of their own organizations as well, It has been poinfed out that . Canada just hasn’t the experience 4n_ lawlessness of this kind to -make the required calculations about its after affects. Legal machinery. for taking punitive action against. indiv- icual-strikers who defied the new law by remaining on strike. is too cumber- “pome for practical use. It would be ‘unrealistic te._set about fining and _ failing thousands of strikers. Use of. ‘the Canadian armed force might be _ equally unrealistic. Yet the situation, would spell chaos. It would almost certainly touch off a governmental crisis resulting in the defeat, or, res- ignation, of the Pearson cabinet. But who would gain by that? Another general election held under such cir- cumstances, would carry no guaran- tee of a political breakthrough by any party. The most Serious result of a civil disobedience campaign by striking railwaymeén, probably, would be the virtual destruction--of- Parliament's prestige and authority as a final eourt of appeal in national disputes. The ‘credibility of Parliament’s position as a potential court of last resort would be severely damaged, © if not destroyed. But what of the unions them- selves? Tt is the rule of law in indus trial disputes that gives them the ‘rights and. privileges they enjoy. > Strike violence, strike lawlessness, publie support on which this rule is based. It came dangerously, close - to doing this over the past weekend.” Let us hope that the criminal folly of such tactics will now. be apparent to all concerned. Our Interests At Stake It is expected that debate on the government's new railway legislation, which would create a super-board to’ ‘take over all regulation in the trans- port field and unfreeze freight rates on an unprecedented scale, will be resumed:'in Parliament “today. As | noted previously in these columns, there is provision in the bill for ex- empting western grain rates and the Maritime Freight Rates Act but it ‘ appears, with the removal of most government controls on freight rates, that both the Maritime and.western provinces will be’seriously affected. | Leader Diefenbaker | Opposition raised this point before the weekend adjournment, and said the legislation in its present form is open to grave objection for this reason, It behooves our Maritime governments and Mari- fime MPs to watch the situation .very closely, One source we should like to hear from is our Maritime Transportation | Commission, which has sought -te maintain a dose Maisem with the fed- | change im attitudes and in efforts. ... ndermines.the whole. foundation of_ |. _Mirals.” __ 2 country—east and west—would again be adversely affected. Such a develop ment should be of special concern’ to us in this province, where ship- ment of our main cash crops is so important’to our economy. At the premiers’ ~ conference above referred to, it was noted the MacPherson report had said that any problems the Maritime area had that: were peculair to the region “were a problem for. the Parliament-of Can- ada and: not for the commission te deal with.” Now is the time to see that this: problem gets the attention - it deserves. — pieced Nice Selection Under the above heading the Mon- treal Gazette notes that it is not un- usual for members of the cabinet to send copies of their speeches, or | Copies of relevant ‘official documents to newspaper editors for their infor- mation. But the Minister of National Defense, Hon. Paul Hellyer, provides a more unusual service. He has been - seriding out sheafs of newspaper | comment on his policy of integration- unification of the armed services. The material leaves no‘ room for doubt that the policy has clamorous acclaim. “Mr. Hellyer Shows Steel,” is the caption of one such clipping. “Admirals Clearly Wrong,” reads | forward a bill which orders the | striking railwaymen to go back .say they will not,. ge back to NEW BOULDER PARK, QUEEN SQUARE -NEED FOR REAPPRAISAL The Chickens Come Horie To Roost o * Richard J.

Claude Jodoin, president of the Canadian ~La- bor Congress, encourages ‘them te do so with his description of the proposed law as “bad, coer- cive involuntary servitude.” David Lewis, NDP deputy lead- er, encourages them to do so with his description of the pro- posed law as ‘‘unjust,"’ and his statement that he himself, # he were a railwayman, would re-- fuse to obey it.
