“The prospects of any party but the Conservatives winning the next federal election. are) remote,” MP-Queens, told delegates at the)

annual meeting of the Queens,

“County Progressive Conserva- tive Association—in—Charlotte-- town yesterday.

He said that when the time comes for the record of the! Progressive Conservatives to be examined, “it’s going to be) quite an interesting story. We ean wage an electoral battle on) our record and win.” COMMENTS ON ARGUE ;

Commenting: on the recent, resignation of Hazen Argue from the New Democratic Par- ty,’ Mr. Macquarrie said “what interests me is where he went. For nearly 20 years Mr. Argue! has been a confessed socialist —now he is ready to be embrac- ed by the Liberal Party. It has been said that the next election will be fought over the issue of free enterprise versus social-| ism; it’s very interesting that | the Liberals would accept a con- | fessed socialist.”

Speaking briefly Premier Walter R. Shaw said “a new spirit has taken hold of Conser-

Heath Macquarrie,} vative supporters in this pro)

vince. Recent meetings I have attended had overflow crowds.

When you get that kind of inter-'

est there-must-be: something in the policies our ‘party stands for and is promoting.”

Premier Shaw said that not all of his government’s plans were contained in Thursday’s Speech from the Throne. ‘New things will be coming along,” he promised, “and we will add. to and enlarge upon existing poli- cies.”

A review of provincial high |

way construction under the! Conservative administration was given in a brief talk by highways Minister Philip Math-| eson. Also speaking was J. Rus-| sel Driscoll, PC—3rd Queens. |

Re-elected to office was as-|

sociation president Reagh Bag- | nall, Hunter River, and vice- president Frank Saunders, Char- lottetown. Named secretary treasurer _was-Carl MacKenna, Charlottetown.

seniority. - For employ ith less than | five years’ seniority, the unions wanted severance pay added to unemployment insurance bene-| fits to raise them to the level of the employees’ wages at the | time they are laid off. This would continue for the duration of the unemployment insurance benefits. OFFER SEVERANCE PAY The railways’ counter-propos- als, made public only Friday | after- the talks collapsed, in-| cluded an offer of severance) pay to employees with -more |

| tee of “work and-or income” for | 20-year-plus men.

They also proposed an indefi- ‘nite wage increase, provided agreement was reached on work ‘security, severance pay and other points.

Mr. Hall said the principal union demands were based on job security and wages

“In the absence of agreement on these two fundamentals, no purpose could be served by dis- cussing the other matters.”

He said the unions’ wage de- mands were tied to the ‘dura ble goods standard’'—an aver- age of wages paid in several basic industries. To abandon this standard would reverse the position taken by the unions over the years and “of course bring about a definitely lower wage standard to our mem- bers. ... .”

He described the railways’ work security program as “‘too little and too late.”

The railway statement was read jointly by W. T. Wilson and D. lL MeNéeill, vice-prest- dent of personnel at the CNR and CPR iy.

They said Mr. Hall presented an ultimatum at Friday's ses- sion—an ultimatum that “in volved absdlute acceptance by the railways of the durable goods standard—e standard to which no tribunal has given sup- ‘port—and ac ince of a life fim aran 7 obs ‘or " non-operating employees.”

This, they said, would. mean economic strangulation.
