Erasmus said he wants to convince the federal and Quebec governments to resolve the two-month-old armed standoff through a new round of negotiations “We need to create a climate where s can be reasonably suc said Erasmus. “What we're concerned about is that an accident will happen or somebody will lose the control they have over themselves and then there will be the exchange of gunfire that nobody in this country wants.” He said the first step should be for. the army to back up its lines “We'd like the army to step back just a little bit,”" he said “They don't have to go back a mile; they don’t have to go back half a mile. If they even went back 300 metres or 100 metres or something.” Indian intermédiaries arrived in Ot- tawa Tuesday night, hoping to meet Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in a bid to avert a clash berecen the milnary and Mohawk Warriors facing off here.

Ottawa, it said, should no longer set policy on outdated notions 7,341 People can’t be wrong! Let's get on with the Celgar Modernization! The institute — an independen, non-profit research group that examines a wide range of policy issues — first raised its concerns before the Commons immigration . last May Shirley Seward, the institute's director of social policy, said those concerns were being raised again because of a published report last week that Ottawa is considering a major increase in immigration over the next two years. According to a leaked memo published in a Toronto newspaper, Immigration Minister Barbara Mc- Dougall said immigration levels should increase to 235,000 in 1991 and 265,000 in 1992 from the 1990 target level of 165,000-175,000. McDougall and her officials have refused to con firm or deny the story Seward said target levels should be frozen at 1990 levels for the next two years at least because of a decline in industrial jobs available. commitiee During the 1970s, she said, only three industries actually experienced employment losses. By 1986, this number had increased to 17 in- dustries BRIEFLY Supremacists gather CALGARY — A white supremacist group is planning to get together on the weekend for a “steak suppet and cross lighting”’ at a remote acreage im central Alberta.

Both company and union spokesmen predicted a lengthy strike after talks between the company, its seven-union joint council and deputy labor minister Claude Heywood broke down Sunday. No meetings are scheduled. The joint council gave strike notice Saturday, after receiving an 87-per- cent strike mandate in June. “The picketing is very peaceful and orderly, both the numbers and ac- tivity are orderly,’ Brian Foley, BC Rail chief negotiator, said Tuesday BC Rail estimates the net cost of the strike will be about $600,000 a day. The company will likely apply for an injunction to prevent picketing at Point Roberts, where other rail com- panies pay for access to the BC Rail lines, Foley said. The port at Point Roberts, south of Vancouver woman cashes in color VANCOUVER (CP) — Red and green mean hope, luck and a whole lot of cash to the Morales family of Vancouver Lolita Morales turned her lucky colors into a $4.4 million Lotto 649 jackpot win on the Aug. 29 draw. Morales, who is single, wrote one to 49 with green ink on pieces of red cardboard — symbolizing hope and luck. She then drew three sets of numbers for the combination play op- tion. The cheque will be shared with her mom Albina, brother Armando and sister Nenita Pio-Roda. The four winners plan to pay off their mortgages or buy new homes. Some of the cash will be sent to family still living in the Philippines. “My brother was watching the draw and | asked him what the num- bers were. They all sounded familiar,"" Lolita Morales said Tuesday She has taken a one-year leave of absence from her full-time job in the accounts department of Canada Customs. But she says she will probably return to work some day Vancouver, handles the export of coal from the northeastern B.C. fields ser- viced by BC Rail and the southeastern fields handled by CP Rail. The company expects to be down for at least a few weeks, because union officials rejected third-party in- tervention, Foley said. “It would take a superman to bring the parties together to deal with the 150 outstanding issues."” Union spokesman Ray Callard agreed the strike will be prolonged, especially if the two sides can’t agree on the major issue of contracting out work, such as maintenance, normally done by BC Rail employees Company spokesman Barrie Wall said B.C Rail is prepared to modify the last contract language on contrac- ting out, but won't agree to the union’s call for a complete ban. The railway’s 1,800 employees have been without a contract since June 30.
