R. 3 Wis.. THE BRUSSELS POST CA ND TH It is important that you understand clearly why the managements of Canada's railways believe a rail- way strike is absolutely unnecessary. Our reason for this conviction is that we have made the employees involved in the present dis- pute a fair offer of wage increases and improve- ments in working conditions which, if applied to all employees, will cost us $37,000,000 a year. We have further acknowledged a moral obliga- tion to implement the 40 -hour week at the appro- priate time, and we have explained why, in fairness to Canadian industry and all other employers of labour, we cannot put it into effect now. To do otherwise would be to perform a dis- service to industry in general and to all employers and employees alike. The railways, after making two previous offers which the union leaders rejected, have now made Not only is a railway strike unnecessary now, but furthermore, because of the tense inter- national situation, it would endanger the entire Dominion. As the presidents of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways said in a joint statement to the representatives of the unions last Thursday: "The present situation...imposes a nerve strain on all concerned at a time when we badly need to devote all our energies and thoughts to the grave threat of war and a national emergency ... It leaves the railway employee in a most uncertain and unhappy frame of mind be- cause we are morally certain he does not wish to walk out on his job at a time like this, no matter what issues are involved . this opinion seems diametrically opposed to the U Wednesday, August 161.h, 19fwr9 RS LIC a third and final offer which gives the employees the choice of either: an increase in wages averaging 8%z cents per hour, or a reduction in the basic work week from 48 -to 44 hours, with an increase in wage rates of 9.1% so as to maintain or in some cases improve present "take home" pay. The labour leaders have made no concessions at all and have refused to budge from their original demands for a 5 -day 40 -hour week with mainte- nance of present "take home" pay, and in addition increases of 7 cents and 10 cents an hour. The railways are thoroughly conscious of, and sympathetic to, the problems of their employees re- sulting from higher costs of 'living. Drastic, unwarranted reductions in hours of work instead of decreasing these problems will inevitably increase them. strike ballot which has been reported by the unions, but railway management retains too high an opinion of the loyalty, stead- fastness and sense of responsibility of their employees to believe a strike would not mean a heart -breaking situation for them. That is not to say they will not carry out their undertaking to strike if union leaders decide to call upon them to do so but as already stated, it will cause great unhappiness and self-reproach." The importance of the railways in Canada's economy cannot be exaggerated. Never was that importance more apparent than in World War II. And without the loyalty and in- tense effort of all railway employees, Canada's magnificent war effort would have been im- possible. The same holds true today. As the presidents further stated: . the general public is inconvenienced and business arrangements are made uncertain so long as the likelihood of a strike persists. Moreover, a railway strike would so cripple our economy that it would weaken for a long time our ability to take a strong line in inter- national affairs and thus give great comfort to the enemy. Therefore, railway manage- ment feels strongly that the issues must be faced resolutely so that all interests, the worker, the public, and the Government, as well as the unions and railway management, will know precisely what is facing them. The time has come to remove this uncertainty which hangs as a blight over our day-to-day life." WITH THESE CONSIDERATIONS IN MIND, THE RAILWAYS HAVE MADE THIS OFFER AS THE ULTIMATE THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE EXPECTED OF THEM, AND IT GIVES A SETTLEMENT WHICH WILL LEAVE RAILWAY WORKERS IN AN EXTREMELY FAVOURABLE POSITION COMPARED TO OTHER INDUSTRIAL WORKERS. ttag gam,) a� r,,.x�.�csl�1;�,��riP�. HERE IS OUR OFFER The final offer which excludes hotel and water transport employees is as follows: (1) Recognition by railway management of a moral obligation to implement the 40 -hour week at the appropriate time. (2) Recognition by the unions in principle, subject to negotiation in detail, of minor amendments to existing contracts covering working rules to bring about more efficient operation.
