Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, July 31, 1963 | Rails Legislation Top Item In Fall _ OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment is expected to make a de- termined effort to get its con- troversial railway legisla- ' tion through Parliament this fall. It has been revised consider- ably from the version intro- duced in Parliament last Sep- tember by Transport Minister Pickersgill and rewriting still is being e. The changes are designed to meet some of the complaints that. greeted the inal. measure will streamline the railway industry along the principles laid down by. the MacPherson royal commission in 1961. + Basically, the commission urged that the railways be al- Jowed to strip away money-los- services and be freed from but the most essential rate control. Uneconomic 'passenger serv- ices would be abandoned over five years; branch lines over 15 years. While this was being done the railways would get a federal subsidy starting at nearly $100,000,000 and dropping each year on_a sliding scale. Eventually, the only subsidies would be for money-losing lines the government forced the rail- ways to continue operating. For the most part, the railways would be on their own to sink or swim in competition with truckers, airlines, ships and pipelines. Both the present government and its Conservative predeces- sor accepted the principle of the plan and the railways them- Iselves~are delighted with it. However, attempts to get it into l@gislation have been side- tracked by the pressure of other parliamentary business. A revamped version of the bill was discussed with the provincial premiers at the re- cent federal-provincial confer- ence here. It won general ac- ceptance, but informed sources say the premiers complained about its formula for setting um freight rates for "captive". shippers--those with no alternative to rail transport. Several premiers said the for- mula set too high a ceiling on such rates. Transport depart- ment experts now are studying the matter. Most of the complaints from western premiers about the plans for reducing Prairie branch lines have been met, the sources say. For one thing, the bill now contains measures that would force the big railways to accept branch line rationaliza- tion measures worked out by a inew board. For example, if the board de- cided that a specific area would) be served economically by hav- ing one of the railways take over the other's losing line it will have methods of forcing the railways to comply. By THE CANADIAN PRESS Continuing drought in parts of Eastern Ontario, eased some- what by rain during July, has left farmers with a shortage of hay while grain prices have risen in the province generally. Much the same conditions ex- ist in western Quebec. Agriculture authorities in the Ottawa Valley, one of the hard- est hit areas by the drought, say grain crops are down by at least 25 per cent and in some spots by as high as 60 per cent from previous years. Prices are about double what they usu- ally are. To meet the growing' prob- lems, Ontario farmers are seek- ing government control of prices to stabilize them at 1964 Jevels. They have asked fed- eral and provincial govern- ments to provide five-year loans as well as a one-year ex- tension of existing loans. They also want a system of grants at $15 an acre for improve- ments on acreage. Antoine Titley, 'Quebec agri- cultural representative; says farmers in western Quebec will likely make similar demands. "The 3,500 farmers of Gati- neau, Papineau and Pontiac counties have a normal hay harvest of 300,000 tons a year," he said. This year they harv- ested less than 100,000 tons." He added that the price of milk could also be affected by' the situation. PRICES DOUBLED In Ontario, normal prices of hay run from $20 a ton baled to $30 for best quality. This year, authorities say, prices have soared to $40 and $50 a ton. The federal government re- cently announced subsidies for drought-stricken farmers of $15 a ton for hay and $30 a ton for concentrates.

Cooper and Abel, appearing at separate press conferences, confirmed that the union is seeking wage and benefit in- creases of about 18 cents an hour per man and that the in- dustry has offered nine cents.

Steelworkers now earn an average of $4.40 an hour in wages and benefits. Delinquent: Now Really A Juvenile OTTAWA (CP)--An Ottawa police bulletin says juvenile delinquents are really becom- ing juvenile. Until the last year, the bul- letin says, juvenile delinquents were thought of as being in the 12-16 age range. Offences were mainly committed for 'kicks.' But delinquents seemed to be getting younger and their crimes more mature. Children as young as six had been picked up for shoplifting. An eight-year-old boy and his younger sister had taken part in a series of purse-snatchings. Most startling was the case of a 10-year-old boy arrested for' namely-- fsome 3,000 employ Hour no-strike policy and to dis- July 16. The postmen sought 60 increases but received only $300-$360.

Anderson of Belle- ville, commissioner investigat- NEW YORK (AP) -- The booming strength of the U.S. automobile industry was illus- trated this week when General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp. each reported record sales, and profits. With car sales continuing to zoom, it is virtually certain that 1965 will be another record auto year. General Motors, the world's largest manufacturing concern earned $1,274,843,649, or $4.45 a share, in the first six months, a gain of 12 per cent over 1964's first half. The first - half profit was greater than the full-year profit of any year in General Motors history except 1962, 1963 and 1964. Sales of $11,215,456,369 repre- sented a gain of 14 per cent over the 1964 first half. Chrysler, the third largest U.S. automaker, earned $118,- 400,000 or $2.91 a share in the 1965 first half compared to $114,400,000 or $2.95 a share a year earlier. First - half Chrysler sales climbed to $2,600,000,000, an in- crease of 28 per cent over the first six months of 1964. SET SALES RECORD The industry's new car 'sales in the middle third of July set a record. Dealers delivered 215,- 429 cars in the July 11-20 pe- riod, up 20 per cent from 180,- 167 in the like 1964 period. Automakers built an esti- mated 147,700 passenger cars this week, down 13 per cent from last week, as most assem- bly. plants began closing down for the change-over to 1966 mod- els. Two other industrial giants, DAMAGE TICKET HONG KONG (AP)--A syndi- cate of 20° Chinese laborers were so jubilant at winning $175,200 in a government lottery that they tore their ticket in passing it from hand to hand. Now they have hired a lawyer to contest a lottery rule that says damaged uttering a forged cheque. tickets cannot be redeemed. Record Car-Industry Profit Shows Business Booming U.S. Steel Corp. and Bethlehem Steel Corp., reported increased earnings for the first half of 1965. Steel users' stepped - up} buying during the period to build stockpiles as a hedge against a possible strike Sept. 1 was a major factor in increased sales, Steel production fell to the lowest level of the year: last week, when 2,603,000 tons were turned out, 1.4 per cent below the 2,640,000 tons poured the previous week. Steel's production trend has been downward since late June. The decline is the first eVidence of the sharp let down in steel demand likely to follow a labor settlement, unless there is a strike lasting long enough: to clean out excess inventories. Some of the apprehension of a recession in 1966 may have been alleviated by President Johnson's call for a moderate step-up of U.S. participation in the Viet Nam war. The U.S. labor department reported that the cost of living rose five-tenths of one per cent WANT STRIKE WEAPON The Customs and Excise Offi- cers Association operates under convention that rules out strikes as a bargaining weapon. It is this resolution that many. mem- bers now want voted out--clear- ing the way for possible strike action. Undoubtedly the gains by postal workers during their brief strike has led the customs- excise people to consider sim- ilar action. Particularly since their $900 - $990 pay demand, based on their interpretation of was so badly cut. Should the association ever call a strike it could tie up the nation almost as badly as a postal walkout. Such a strike would tie up all border points, ports, air terminals, rail and road ex- press points handling bonded goods. Tobacco, liquor and any package requiring customs du- ties or excise tax would be stopped. Shipments of machin- ery from abroad, for instance, would stay in the customs shed, possibly making a plant idle if the strike lasted long enough. in June to a record level.
