Legislation will be introduced as soon as possible after Par- liament reconvenes to set up a system of collective bargaining for civil servants. Salaries for some 150,000 are now recom- mended by the Civil Service Commission to the cabinet. Mr. Pearson said the legisla- tion should make situations like the postal dispute 'impossible in the future." RAISES PAY SCALE The Anderson report brings maximum pay scales to be- tween $4,470 and $5,830, com- |pared with $3,960 to $5,280 at present.

It was made clear that this amounted to a vote to continue the strike, now in its 15th day. The executive had urged the 2,500 men present in the hall and others outside the hall to turn down the government's proposals, made Wednesday night, because the offer was too small, made no provision for retroactive to October, 1964, in its entirety. All but less than 100 of those present voted in favor of the executive recommendations after hearing impassioned ex- hortations from William Houle and Roger Decarie, strike lead- ers, and Louis Laberge, presi- dent of the Quebec Federation of Labor (CLC). WOULD HOLD OUT Mr. Houle told the cheering audience in the smoke-filled, crowded east-end hall 'others may accept this government offer but not Montreal." The increases approved by the cabinet ranged from $510 to $550 annually, which would put postal salaries in a $4,470 to $5,830 range. The strikers had demanded a $660 boost. Mr, Houle said the govern- ment offer is a basis for nego- tiations but "'it is only one offer and in itself it is unacceptable." He and Mr. Decarie both urged the government to begin negotiations with the strikers. Mr, Decarie had preceded the presentation of the 'execu- tive's unanimous recommenda- tion with a sometimes angry restatement of his reservations about the government proposal. The meeting was delayed in POSTAL WORKERS REJECT GOVERNMENT WAGE OFFER Cabinet Acts Swiftly Postal Pay Increases Montreal Men Vote To Continue Strike The men walked off their jobs July 22 and were soon joined by other postal workers in Vancouver, Toronto and va- vn gd centres across the coun- ry. ALL OTHERS BACK All but the 4,100 workers in the Montreal area returned to their jobs last week. Mr. Houle said the Montreal strikers consider that the strike is rooted in a "question of prin- ciple rather than one of simply money or pride." PM Expresses Disappointment OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson summoned the cabinet's postal strike commit- tee today for immediate discus- sion of the rejection by Mont- real strikers of the govern- ment's pay increase offer. Mr. Pearson expressed "great disappointment" with the decision of the Montreal strikers and the fact that it was not made by seeret ballot, The news of the Montreal meeting was handed to him in e middle of a press confer- ence and he immediately said "I think it is a mistaken deci- sion." said the government hasn't been giving any thought to reprisals against the Mont. real postal strikers, "We have. been thinking in terms of getting them back to work and getting the mail moving," he said. DECISION FINAL The government's decision is "inal" in accepting the recom- mendation of Judge J. C.

LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER STRIKES A striking Montreal grain- handler snoozes beneath a picket sign reading 'The law exists for everyone, harbor police tough guys included' during a picnic ATHENS (AP) -- Premier George Athanasiadis Novas re- signed today following his de- feat in a stormy parliamentary vote of confidence. In an unex- pected move King Constantine asked him to remain in office pending a solution of Greece's grave political crisis. Most observers had thought the 25-year-old king would ac- cept the resignation immedi- diately and name a new pre- mier.

"We need a_ constitution which should include a charter of national or cultural rights granting exactly the same guar- antees to the English-speaking minority in. Quebec: and the French - speaking minority in the other provinces," he told the 34th Couchiching Confer- ence on public affairs. Mr. Johnson described Can- ada as two nations with com- mon interssts and said it is possible to create common structures for the management of these common interests, He said however that biling- ualism in itself is not the an- swer to Canada's problems, ' and to think so is "an exercise in wishful thinking." "A lJanguage is not merely a way of expressing yourself... . It is a way of thinking, of feel- ing, and of reacting--a manner of being. "That is why, for the French Canadians of today it is not enough to have control of their language, their schools and their civil code--they must be able to create the economic and social institutions that are the reflection of their soul." WARNS OF DANGER Mr. Johnson said English Canada must realize this and help formulate a new constitu- tion based on the respect of na- tional liberties, "The refusal of English Can- ada to take part in such a dia- logue would be a fertile seed for separatism," he warned the audience. "For my part, I have always considered the complete inde- pendence of Quebec as a last resort, but nevertheless as a so- lution that we must not reject off-hand because it could eas- ily become the only possible one if the dialogue between our two communities were to end in failure." Mr. Johnson said French Ca- nadians do not want to direct the rest of the country, "but neither do they want constantly to have to plead for the right to be what they are in this country where their: roots go back more than three cen- turies."" The text of Mr. speech was delivery. : Johnson's released prior to -- Consumer Price Index Hits New High OTTAWA (CP) -- Higher food and housing prices pushed the consumer price index to another new high in July, the bureau of statistics reported today.
