Violation
of
operating

by
the
crew
of
an
extra
Mlnakl
special
excursion
train
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
was
blamed
by
the
Board
of
Transport
Commissioners
today
for
the
wreck
on
September
1
that
claimed
35
lives
at
Dugald,
Manitoba.
The
board,
which
conducted
an
inquiry
last
month,
found
that
passenger
extra
No.

westbound,
had
crashed
into
castbound
train

at
Dugald
station
because
it
failed
to
turn
Into
a
siding
as
provided
for
under
Canadian
National
Railways
operating
rules.
Why
this
had
been
done
could
not
be
established
as
both
engineer
and
fireman
were
killed.
The
extra,
known
as
the
Mlnakl
Special,
was
carrying
pas
sengers
in
nine
wooden
coaches
sandwiched
between
steel
cars
and
the
loss
of
life
and
injuries
were
heavy
in
these
wooden
coaches
which
caught
fire.
The
board
is
recommending
that
the
Canadian
National
speed
up
with
the
replacement
of
wooden
cars
by
steel
and
that
the
wooden
cars
be
not
run
between

in

The
paralyzing

strike,
third
in

history,
left
an
estimated
237.000
workers
in
the
three
centres
without

It
also
halted

leaving
more
than
1700
workers
in
those
areas
stranded
from
reaching

in

The
strike
followed
a
rejection
by
1700-to-700
vote
of
the
union
members
on
a
government-supervised
ballot
of
eleventh-hour

of

There
was
little

among

although

were
noticeable
by
their

Minister

described
the
strike
as
"legal"
although
"unfortunate."
Requirements
of
Bill

had
been
complied

and
the
union
had
given
assurance
that
the
strike
would
be
carried
on
in
an
"orderly"
and
"legal"
manner.
The
company
said
that
ithad
been
unable
to
grant
the
wage
increase
because
it
would
have:
meant
increasing
fares
to
10
cents.
If
the
public
wanted
a
10-ccnt
fare;
they
could
advise
the

If
they
did
not
want
10-cent
fares,
they
should
tell
the
union.
Blrt
Showier,
on
behalf
of
the
union,
said
everything
possible
had
been
done
to
avert
a
strike.
Union

said
those
who
normally
travelled
to

by

would
be
considered
"unfair"

WHAT
CAUSES
MOST
FIRES
The
Juneau
fire
chief,
Minard
Mill,
spoke
during
the
recent
Fire
Prevention
Week,
October
6
to
October
12,
his
views
being
much
the
same
as
those
expressed
by
Chief
Lock,
at
Prince
Rupert
during
the
same
week.
Chief
Mill
placed
special
stress
on
the
danger
of
smoking
in
bed.
"One
of
the
most
serious
phases
of
the
local
fire
problem,"
he
stated,
"Is
the
dwelling
problem.
That
Is
why
so
much
attention
Is
being
given
during
fire
week
to
the
home.
Here,
as
everywhere,
the
most
common
causes
of
fire
are
careless
smoking,
smoking
in
bed,
defective
chimneys
and
flues,
careless
use
of
matches
by
adults
and
children,
needless
accumulations
of
rubbish,
defective
electrical
equipment
and
the
use
of
combustible
cleanin"
fluids
