The gravel to be %inch crush and work to be completed by July 15th, 1958. A deposit of $300. to accompany each tender, the same to be forfeited in the event that the work is not can IN ITS UNANIMOUS REPORT published February 4, I958 the ROYAL COMMISSION found that:â€" l. Firemen are not required on diesel locomotives in freight and yard service on Canadian Pacific either for safety or any other reason. 3. Arbitraries have become unrealistic and should be dropped and payment made on the basis of service rendered. 4. Mountain differential payments should be dropped and replaced by valley differential. CANADIAN PACIFIC accepted the report of the KELLOCK ROYAL COMMISSION as it had undertaken to do when the Commission was appointed. , THE UNION reiected the report, stating that nothing in it was acceptable to them. They did so knowing that not one fireman would suffer loss of railway employment who was hired before the proposal to discontinue firemen on freight and yard diesels was made in April, I956. All across Canada there are less than I00 firemen hired after that date and now working who face possible lay-off. ALL EFFORTS of Canadian Pacific to settle the dispute through negotiations with the Firemen’s Union have failed. FOR TWOWYEARS firemen have enioyed “substantial wage increases.
