believe
it

to

to

if

These

were
already
creating
over-whelming
problems
in

"It

TODAY
VANCOUVER
(CP)
Prime
Minister
Trudeau
said
today
man's
hopes
for
survival
lie
in
the
ability
to
learn
to
love
one
another
more
"in
a
way
which
will
require
of
us
an
unprecedented
desire
to
change
ourselves."
Speaking
to
the
inaugural
session
of
Habitat,
the
United
Nations
conference
on
human
settlements,
Mr.
Trudeau
said
we
have
reached
a
critical
point
in
human
evolution
"in
which
the
only
path
open
to
us
is
to
move
toward
a
common
passion,
a
'conspiracy'
of
love."
"The
conspiracy
of
men
with
men
and
the
conspiracy
of
the
universe
with
an
ever
more
just
humanity
:
in
this
lies
the
salvation
of
human
settlements
and
the
hope
held
forth
by
Habitat."
A
text
of
his
remarks
was
released
in
advance
of
delivery.
Mr.
Trudeau
said
the
concept
of
international
co-operation
symbolized
by
the
meeting
of
more
than
130
national
delegations
was
not
new
"it
has
been
present
in
our
minds
for
many
years."
But
he
said
the
massive
growth
in
population
which
faces
the
world
in
the
next
few
decades
made
the
solutions
to
the
problems
of
human
settlements
all
the
more
pressing.
"My
plea
to
you
at
the
outset
of
this
conference
is
to
encourage
that
concept
to
descend
to
your
guts,
where
thought
can
be
leavened
with
passion
and
accomplishment
can
become
a
reality."

A
Roman

who
said
it

a
girl
to

her
life
than
submit
to

has
angered
an
organization

Australian
women
how
to

SHUTDOWN

describe
'crisis'

JAN-UDO
WENZEL
Citizen
Staff
Reporter
The
situation
of
the
pulp
and
forest
.
industries
dependent
upon
the
B.C.
Railway
was
to
be
outlined
late
today
at
a
press
conference
in
Prince
George.
Many
plants
have
closed
down
and
others
are
on
the
verge
of
doing
so
leaving
thousands
of
employees
jobless.
The
current
problems
are
caused
by
,
the
shutdown
of
the
BCR
over
a
dispute
with
the
United
Transportation
Union
(UTU)
for
a
new
contract..
The
railway
suspended
freightope-
rations
because
of
a
work
slowdown
by
the
union,
which
the
BCR
calls
a
strike.
The
450
trainmen
have
been
without
a
contract
since
last
July
and
the
main
issue
revolves
around
payment
of
overtime
on
a
daily
basis.
The
trainmen
are
not
included
under
the
provisions
of
the
minimum
wage
act,
whcich
requires
a
person
be
paid
overtime
after
eight
hours
work
a
day,
Glen
Bowles,
chairman
of
the
UTU,
said
the
union
had
offered
to
accept
overtime
after
11
hours
in
the
first
year
of
a
two-year
contract
and
after
10
hours
during
the
second
year,
Bowles
said
the
offer
had
been
made
several
weeks
ago,
but
declined
to
elaborate
under
what
circumstances
it
was
made.
The
railway
confirmed
today
the
offer
was
made,
but
had
been
turned
down.
A
railway
spokesman
said
the
BCR
is
paying
enginemen
overtime
after
100
hours
over
two
weeks
and
had
made
the
same
offer
to
the
trainmen.
"Once
you
start
overtime
pay
on
a
daily
basis,
the
chances
are
demands
for
shorter
regular
working
hours
will
be
made
in
every
new
negotiation,"
the
spokesman
said.
He
pointed
to
the
current
problems
of
the
B.C.
Ferry
Authority.
He
said
the
run
between
the
mainland
and
Vancouver
Island
takes
eight
and
one
half
hours
and
the
employees
get
paid
overtime
after
seven
one
half
hours.
"This
sort
of
thing
is
not
possible
on
a
railway
when
a
man
is
on
a
run
which
