Gordon burned in effigy

HULL (PCf) — The president of Canadian National, Mr. Donald Gordon, was burned in effigy Saturday in Hull.

About 100 protesters, mostly students, gathered in front of the post office in Hull.  Some were sporting placards.

Police rerouted traffic during the demonstration; there was no violence.

Students from the University of Ottawa burned Gordon in effigy on Wednesday in the Canadian capitol.

Mr. Gordon had said last month to a Commons committee on the railways that there was not one French Canadian among the upper management of CN because of the lack of people capable of aspiring to these posts.
