Firemen's Union _ w I Issue‘Tolks

MONTREAL (GP) — The fire- men’ls union has demanded fresh talks with the Canadian Pacific Railway on the controversial

1 diesel firemen issue.

The demand—termed “ir- responsible” by the CPR—would reopen a long-standing dispute - that twice in 21 months provoked nation—wide strikes by firemen against the CPR.

The railway is expected to re ject flatly the union proposal on the ground the issue was settled in an agreement that ended the firemen's second strike last May.

W. E. Gamble, Canadian chief of the firemen’s union, charged Wednesday that the May strike settlement was forced ion the union by a government threat to legiSlate for the withdrawal of firemen in yard and freight diesels.

“As far as the union is con- cerned,” said Mr. Gamble, “it made a settlement only to pre-

‘ vent the government from carry-

It has no direct connection with the government decision to switch to groundto-air missiles from jet interceptoms because. the super- sonic Arlrow fighter, if it ever does go into RCACF squadron won’t be ready until 1961.

Two Bomarc anti-aircraft mis- sile bases will be built in north- ern Ontario and Quelbec but they won’t be ready for operation un- til 1961. ,

In the meantime, themain de- fensive weapon will continue to be the subsonic CF—ioo jet, an ancient fighter plane by today’s standards. For armament, it car- ries a conventional LL n g uid ed rocket and no missile. '

One official said there will be tremendous pressure on the nine CF-100 squadrons — some 200 planes—«in the next three years to keep training and efficiency at a peak constantly. ‘

However, therewere no recrim— inations about the government— the previous Liberal and current Progressive Conservative admin- istrations — not taking action sooner to fill the gap.
