FOR ONLY $500 Aircraft Charter Service 1-800-667-5868 Charges put stop to rail blockade PRINCE RUPERT (CP) — A five-day-old blockade on the CN Rail line ended Tuesday when the RCMP arrested three members of the Gitwangaak band and charged them with defying a court injunction against the action. Five RCMP officers walked a kilometre along the railway line in a driving rainstorm to make the arrests on the Gitwangaak reserve, located east of Prince Rupert They read from an injunction granted to CN to remove anyone interfering with the operation of the railway. The Indians maintain that on the entire CN line from Prince George to Prince Rupert, only the sections in the two cities’ downtown areas have been legally transferred to CN. Before being arrested, Art Loring, 37, of Gitwangaak told the RCMP to look on a nearby totem pole. “Those poles tell us we were right, we own this land, not the courts, not the province, not the federal government” Also arrested and charged with contempt were Ralph Michell, 43 of Kispiox, B.C. and Guy Morgan, 46, of Gitwangaak. Gitksan natives started the blockade also to protest the government-approved sale of forestry assets they claim are located on native land. That included the Kitwanga sawmill, which was shut down, putting more than 100 people out of work. CN Rail spokesman Marion Robson said an average of 14 trains a day travel the line.ys rail traffic could resume within hours, once crews removed debris from the tracks. The blockade prevented grain and coal from reaching Prince Rupert’s giant export terminals, about 750 kilometres northwest of Vancouver, and threatened the supply of wood for the city’s pulp mill, its biggest industry.

Fired up workers were instructed by union president Doug Sigurd-son to leave cruise and grain ships free of pickets. “We’re not going to inconvenience someone on their vacation,” Sigurdson said. Grain carriers would also be exempt so B.C. grainhandlers and prairie farmers would not suffer from the dispute, he said. Minutes later, however, some of the 500 members of the union were vowing as they left a meeting in that grain and cruise ships would be included if the dispute is not settled quickly. Smith said the only outstanding item in the negotiations is whether the employers will pay eight more cents an hour into a pension fund. Sigurdson said the pension dispute amounts to about $72,000 a TRY A PAIR OF 386s ON FOR SIZE! 139900 Computer system is a class act! • Perfect computer system for students or home office use • 80386SX/25 microprocessor • 1 megabyte RAM • 106 megabyte hard drivr • VGA colour monitor • MS DOS 5.0 software is included 251-4000/25-8847 TWO SPECIAL OFFERS!

He agreed that it did not seem a major issue, compared with the cost of disrupting the B.C. shipping industry. The foremen, who were in a legal strike position as of midnight Tuesday, voted 96.5 per cent in favor of striking in April. Their contract expired Dec. 31, 1991, and the longshoremen foremen have agreed to work for the same wages as last year, Sigurdson said.
