GRAND TRUNK DENIES MR. McCLEARY’S STATEMENT
[Welland Tribune, 27 May 1898]
In reply to the statement in the house by Mr. McCleary, member for Welland, to the effect that the Grand Trunk railway were persistently substituting American officials for Canadians on their road, Mr. Logan made the following statement on behalf of the G.T.R. Management. – “The statements made are so broadly indefinite that is is difficult to see just what the accusations are. It is quite true that certain American officials have been given positions on the Canadian portion of the Grand Trunk railway, just as it is true that there have been several Canadians who have been placed on that part of the road which lies in American territory. But to say that it has been the policy of this railway to persistently import alien labor is not a statement of the facts.”
