presented
by
the
Prince

local
which
represents
300

OTTAWA
Oj
The
annual
re
port
of
Canadian
NaUonal
Rail
ways
was
tabled
today,
showing
that
the
publicly-owned
system
came
out
of
1946
with
a
deficit
of
$8,961,570,
compared
with
a
profit
of
$24,756,130
earned
In

and
with
predictions
that
its
outlook
for
1947
was
not
financially
bright.
President
R.
C.
Vaughan
re
ported
that
savings
ln
operating
costs
were
"far
more
than
offset
by
Increased
rates
of
pay
and
increased
prices
for
fuel
and
materials
used
ln
railway
operation
and
maintenance."
"Wage
Increases
of
June
1,
1946,
will
be
in
effect
for
a
lull
year
In
1947,"
he
said.
"It
Is
estimated
that
material
prices
will
be
10
per
cent
higher.
Thus
operating
costs
will
be
some
$20,000,000
greater
than
In
1946."
