WILLING TO SETTLE It was learned Monday the railways have told the unions' ne- gotiating chiefs they will settle before the strike date unless the cabinet interferes with the 17-per- cent freight rate increase auth. orized earlier in the day by the board of transport commission- ers. This attitude was communi- cated to the unions, according to an informant, at a meeting in Montreal between top railway and union negotiators after the board's decision was announced. The rallways had asked for a 19-per-cent boost. But the board considered 17 per cent enough to cover the "yard- stick."
