The resumption of negotia- tions follows a round of special meetings last week in Ottawa involving Prime Minister Pear- son, tlie presidents of the two major railways and several key cabinet ministers.

n a telegram Tuesday to the government. the railways said the meeting with the non-op un- ions is arranged "for the pur- pose of negotiating an agree- ment on the basis of the con ciliation board's recommenda- tions "

Government sources said they regard bhis as tantamount to

railway acceptance of the 19.1»

Quebec Policy

OTTAWA (CPI—The govern- ment signified Tuesday that it will forgo $14,000,000 a year in income tax revenue by putting .$10 monthly payments for 16- iand l7-year-olds under new leg- iislation instead of amending the Family Allowances Act.

$61,500,000 in year on , some 500,000 children 16 and 17 lyears old who attend school or who are so disabled that they cannot attend.

The payments will be made

under a youth allowances bill

which was debated by the Com-

mons Tuesday. Parents who re- .ceive the allowances will con-

vtinue to deduct $550 for each 16- or I7-year-old for

children receiving family al- lowances is only $300.

The new legislation is com-_

plicated by the fact that Que- bec. which has its own youth allowances program. will be ex- cluded from the federal scheme. ,Bul Quebec will bring its plan into line with the federal one and will be paid between $16,- 000.000 and $17,000.000 a year i by Ottawa.
