Their requests in a nutshell: More money, Union leaders asked that the interim wage increase provided in the bill be fattened. The presidents of the CNR and the CPR asked for a fed- eral subsidy to cover the $48.- 000,000 in additional 1966 wage costs already provided in the bill. Neither side apparently got anywhere. Labor Minister Nicholson con- ferred briefly today with lead- ers of the striking railway unions but none of the parties would say anything about the discussions, Mr. Nicholson went from the meeting with the union leaders to a session of the cabinet's rail- way strike committee. This was. followed by a meeting of the full cabinet. A caucus meeting of Liberal MPs was scheduled for 11 a.m. EDT after the cabinet session. The bill proposes a four-per- cent wage boost retroactive to '\last Jan. 1 and another four per cent retroactive to July 1. It also stipulates that the strike, now in its sixth day, must be stopped while both sides return to bargaining under the threat Cabinet Meeting Follows Brief Talk With Minister During a heated Commons de- bate Tuesday night Health Min- ister MacEachen defended the bill's wage formula, arguing that it really involves aecept- ance of conciliation board pro- posals that: recommended a boost of 18 per cent spread over two years, WOULD IMPOSE RAISE If the extra 10 per cent ap- plicable to next year was. not matched or exceeded in the ne- gotiation period it probably would be imposed by compul- sory arbitration. Later, in an interview on the CBC television program News- magazine, Mr. MacEachen said the 18-per-cent boost over two years was @ "realistic probabil- ity." The four top tinion leaders, joined by president Claude Jo- doin of the Canadian Labor Congress, spent an hour in Mr, Pearson's office arguing for @ larger wage increase in the bill, But they refused to tell report. ers what kind of a deal they had requested, or discus Mr, Pearson's reaction. Mr, Pearson later told the Commons that no additional of- fer had been made to the unions. The railway presidents, Don- ald Gordon of the CNR and Ian Sinclair of the CPR, came by car from, Montreal late in the afternoon' pent an hour Later they told reporters that they had complained to the prime minister about the lack of any provision that would he! of compulsory arbitration after Nov, 15. The two presidents said a companion bill which revamps railway legislation along lines suggested in the 1961 report of a royal commission does not add a cent to this year's rail- way revenues. The freeze on freight rates was still in effect, preventing the railways from raising the $48,000,000 needed. Although passage of the rail- way legislation would unfreeze the rates, the railways couldn't collect extra money from ship- pers on a retroactive basis. Ever since the rate freeze in 1959 the railways have received federal subsidies designed to cover higher wages. They have long contended that these sub- sidies,, which peaked at nearly $125,000,000 this year, have fallen far short of meeting ac- tual cost increases. At a press conference Tues- day night Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Sinclair made it clear their latest request had been turned wn, "The prime minister made no the railways meet the 1966 wage bill being Gordon Criticizes Rail Bill End Sought To Rate Freeze sidy to be provided in the rall- way legislation relates only to "items of the past." It is s posed to start at $110,000, next year and slide away to zero by 1975. All present subsidies would be ditched for the new one, NOT FINAL DEAL Mr. Gordon said it is wrong to suggest that the eight-per-cent wage raise set out in the strike bill is a final settlement. This impression had been created by 'irresponsible, if not deliber- ately lying, statements." In reality the bill established the conciliation board proposals of an 18-per-cent boost as the floor for bargaining, he said. The railway bill, introduced Monday but sidetracked by the urgency of debate on the strike- ending legislation, would give the railways unprecedented freedom .to set rates in open competition with other modes of transport, abandon uneconomic branch lines and scrap money- losing passenger runs.
