Mr, Houle said he based his hope on the discussion he has had with Postmaster - General Rene Tremblay and Judge J. C. Anderson, who was appointed by the. federal government as a one-man commission to study the claims of postal workers. In Ottawa, Prime Minister Pearson said Friday at a press conference: "Over the weekend and early next week, there may be no workers still on strike, and no question of any repri- gals. That is my hope." The strike--now in its 10th day --began July 22 when postal workers in Montreal rejected a government offer for salary in- creases ranging from $300 to $360 a year. The strike soon spread to 75 centres, and about 70 per cent of the country's 22,- 000 postal workers walked off their jobs, A' return-to-work movement began last Tuesday.

Meanwhile, picket lines con- tinued throughout the night. They will be maintained for the rest of the weekend and' until the strike is called off. Picket- ing has been quiet, with no re- ports of incidents. Mr. Houle, in a telephone in- terview early today, said: "I'm confident there will be an end to the strike soon--perhaps early next week -- because I know Judge Anderson is a fast worker and because of the spirit of the discussions we have had with him and with Postmaster-Gen- eral Tremblay. "The fact that Judge Ander- son offered a $60 increase and ROBARTS ORDERS ATLANTIC PROBE promised a substantial increase was also very encouraging," he said. "Of course we couldn't ac- cept the offer. The boys just wouldn't have it. But we appre- ciate the spirit in which the of- fer was made."

He said the major victory so far was the de- cision by the government to es- tablish wage parity. This was a major bone of contention among postal workers, he said.
