There was a slight decrease of a tenth of a point in the Montreal index to 141.1 from 142.2. The indexes, based on 1049 consumer prices in each city equalling 100; rose a point in Saskatoon and Regina to 135.0 from 134.0, and nine-tenths of a point in Halifax to 136.9 from 136.0, The city indexes measure only the change in consumer prices since 1949, and do not indicate whether living costs are cheaper in one city com- pared with another.

The 10,000 strikers are mem- bers of the Confederation of Na- tional Trade Unions (CNTU), whose members voted to strike Tuesday night, while the bal- ance of the workers belong to unions affiliated with the Que- bec Federation of Labor (CLC). Trouble broke out at the site of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way's Chateau Champlain hotel which is being erected opposite downtown Windsor Station. A truck was overturned at the site and fist fights broke out be- tween the CNTU pickets 'and QFL workers attempting to cross picket lines. About a dozen police cars ar- rived on the scene and all but the pickets were told to keep moving. However, a construction su- perintendent at the job site said later that about 80 per cent of the employees had moved through the lines and started work. The situation was also tense early today around the CNR Place Bonaventure complex, TENSION GROWS IN QUEBEC STRIKE Brief Violence Erupts 10,000 Walk Off Jobs where members of the two rival unions faced each other. Trouble was avoided when plumbers and electricians went in the back way. They signed new contracts with the construc- tion industry two weeks ago. Meanwhile, there appared to be no immediate chance of talks between the striking CNTU and the companies. The two sides have not talked since the CNTU rejected a con- tract at.a mass meeting Tues- day night. The Montreal Con- struction Association, represent- ing management, said the con- tract offer would make Mont- real construction workers the highest paid in Canada. At the Tuesday night meeting, the 2,500 CNTU members pres- ent rejected the terms of a pro- posed contract offering a $1.20 hourly raise spread over a three - year period for those earning more than $2.60 hourly and an increase of $1.05 for those making less. Earlier, members of the QFL, who had also threatened to strike this week, voted to ac- cept the construction associa- tion's proposals and remain at work. Louis Laberge, QFL president, told members of the building trades unions here Wednesday that they must report for work or tisk losing their union bene- fits. ST. JEAN BAPTISTE, Man.
