(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter —Copyright) OTTAWA, August 30. The Prime Minister, Mr Lester Pearson, yesterday introduced into the Canadian Parliament a bill ordering an end to Canada’s three-day-old railway strike and granting the 118,000 strikers an interim 8 per cent pay rise. The bill also orders the railways and the unions to resume bargaining. If no progress is made by November 15, compulsory arbitration procedures would be applied by the Government. The interim wage increase would consist of 4 per cent retroactive to January 1 and another 4 per cent retroactive to July 1.
