rene 21 'THE OSHAWA Timi, Wednessay, Sepisinber 3, 1948 Rank-File Pressures For Raise OTTAWA (CP)---Fifteen un- fons representing 100,000 non- operating railway workers are reported to be under heavy pressure from their rank-and- file membership to mount a massive wage demand on the railways this fall, The current two-year con- tract expires Dec, 31 and the individual unions now are pre- paring the groundwork for the demands they will present jointly to the first bargaining session with the railways, prob- ably in mid-November. One informant close to the situation says the unions prob- ably will bid for a pay increase of 40 cents an hour, "'and don't be too surprised if it is even higher." _ This would. mean discarding the durable goods yardstick that the unions 'have clung to for the last 15 years. Under it, wage demands were tied to av- erage earnings in the durable goods manufacturing industries appliances, autos and such, The so-called "non-ops" are those railway workers who do not actually operate the trains telegraphers, shop workers, track crews, signalmen, por- ters, clerks and others, Average wage ef the non-ops now is about $2.20 an hour. The most recent figure available in the durable goods industries is for May, when it was $2.29 an|: hour, Bankruptcy Act Change TORONTO (CP) -- Justice Minister Cardin said Tuesday the federal government has plans to tighten the operation of the Bankruptcy Act. r, Cardin, addressing the annual convention of the Cana- dian Bar Association, said in his speeeh that a revision of the act will be undertaken shortly. Later he told reporters that: the general revision -- which might take a year or more to get ready for Parliament-- would be preceded by about five amendments to the act, having the major aim of giving trustees more power in getting information from those en- eg in bankruptcy proceed- In his speech, Mr. Cardin said to the lawyers that a "dan- gerous trend" of replacing con- structive criticism with sensa- tionalism is developing in Par- Hament, the press and the coun- try generally with respect to the actions of government. Such a trend, he said, could "destroy our fundamental in- stitutions in very short order." He was asked later whether he was referring to the Lucien Rivard corruption - in - govern- ment uproar, whose repercus- sions eased his predecessor, Guy Favreau, out of the 7 portfolio. He said that the ' ploitation" of that case was oo Funeral Car Testy Issue LOS ANGELES (AP) -- City of Industry, an industrial sub- urb, recently purchased for $980 the railway car which car- ried the body of Sir Winston Churchill from London's Water- loo Station to Hanborough, near Bladon, on the last stage of the funeral procession, The car is intended for use as a museum piece. But Richard Marsh, member of Parliament and chairman of Britain's state - owned railway system, recently protested the) sale. 'It's a ridiculous price,' said Marsh. "No effort seems to have been made to keep it here." Darius Johnson, City of In-| dustry councilman who negoti-| ated the purchase, said Mon-) day: "The railroad was going to junk it, We thought it should| not be destroyed, and got. in touch with the railroad and ar- ranged to buy it."
