workers Saturday night voted
3-1 in favor of a new contract,
thus ending a 19-day walkout
that affected one million rid
ers. Some service began imme
diately and the company
promised that by Monday all
buses, trolleys and subways
would bo back in operation.
There were 5.600 transit
workers on strike.
The result of the voting
was announced by Michael J.
Quill, international president
of the Transport Workers
Union, AFL-CIO (TWU) at a
news conference. He skid the
vote was 2,803 to 965, with
132 ballots challenged.
Happy Night"
"This is a very happy night
for all of us and the union
and, I imagine, the people of
Philadelphia, Quill said.
The union leader said Gov.
William W. Scranton, who
aided negotiations which led
lo the final agreement, "ac
tually came to the rescue" of
Philadelphians.
Negotiations continued Sat
urday in Cleveland's mara
thon newspaper strike, but no
talks were scheduled until
Monday in New York's print
ers' strike which has idled
nine newspapers.
Other walkouts across the
country continued, with hopes
of. settlement dim in most dis
putes. The Philadelphia contract,
drawn up by union and man
agement negotiators under
the guidance of Gov. Scran
ton Friday night, calls for a
10-cent-an-hour wage boost
now, and another in 1964. A
Blue Shield program being
instituted for union members
was pushed back six months
from next May 1 to Nov. 1,
Federal mediator William
Rose said.
Rose said the agreement re
tains the no-layoff clause
from the old contract which
expired Jan. 14 and touched
off the walkout.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner
recessed the talks in the nine
week old New York news
paper strike to give negotiat
ors time "to give intensive
consideration to a re-examination
of the problems."
More than 19,000 persons
have been affected by the
strike, most by having their
employment terminated.
Some have been kept on
newspaper payrolls at re
duced salaries.

Dlefenbaker May
Act To Dissolve
Parliament
Prime Minister
Critical of U.S.
Ottawa - (IPD - Prime Mln.
ister John Diefenbaker met
with his cabinet for threa
hours Saturday after becom
ing embroiled with both the
United States and his political
opposition in a scrap over
nuclear weapons.
But Diefenbaker refused to
give any clue as to whether
he plans to dissolve parlia
ment, oecause of the issue.
Speculation had it . that he
would take such action during
the weekend.
Should Diefenbaker call an
end to Parliament, a rough
general election would be
fought on the question of nuc
lear weapons on Canadian
soil, which he opposes, and
his charge of unwarranted
U.S. interference in this coun
try's affairs.
The present crisis beean
taking shape Friday when
Diefenbaker took a verbal
slap at President Kennedy's
New r rontier . and made icy
comments in reply to a state
ment by U.S. Secretary o
State Dean Rusk. Rusk had
accused Canada of dragging
its feet In defense and said it
should arm Us bombers' with.
nuclear, warheads.
Diefenbaker lias, the pre
rogative. o,t .announcing the
end of this parliament at any
da
time . ana in any way ha
chooses.
He told newsmen following
the cabinet session that ho
would have no announce'
mania over the weekend and
has not planned a Sunday
cabinet meeting.
The tables have turned in
the last three days following
public statement from tha
U.S. State department criti
cizing government, defensa
policy,'
Cabinet ministers are
weary but ' in increasingly
high spirits. But the parlia
mentary press corps was ex
hausted and frustrated by
Diefcnbakcr's evasive tactics -
in the political and diplomatic
crisis. .
Frustration Shared
The frustration is shared by
opposition leaders, who an
ticipated the dissolution of
Parliament : yesterday when
Diefenbaker spent 40 min
utes with Governor General
George Vanier. But instead of
announcing dissolution he
merely peeked into the Com
mons and went home as it ad
journed for the weekend.
"He has played with some
nice a, game of cat. and
mouse," said Liberal leader
Lester B. Pearson. "This dra
matic and histrionic approach
might be all right in some
times but Is not appropriate
In the situation we are faced
with now." . .
