year any representations regard- ing their removal have been with- out result. However, last July in the general submission prepared by the Potato Marketing Board on behalf of the potato industry in this Province and New Bruns-

of Transport Commissioners. the unfairness of this charge was fully emphasized and it was sug- gested that, while a formal com- plaint was not being made it was hoped that through the process of negotiation between the potato I - dustry and Railway officials title requested rciief might be obtain- ed.

"Since that time Board. supported by the ari- times Transportation Commission and individual shippers. have sought relentlcssly for the re- moval of these charges. and the Railway announcement of yester- day. following as it does on the recent statement that water and truck competitive rates are being effected for the balance of this year. will represent a great sav- ing to the Maritime potato in- dustry. It also indicates that Railway officials recognize the value of the potato movement to themselves and to.the econ- omy of the Maritlmes and are therefore willing to grant sonic concessions to ths particular in- dustry."

MONCTON. (GP) -- Maritime shippers of potatoes and other vegetables won't have to pay rail- road equipment charges for re- frigerator car shipments this year.

Present Charges

Present equipment charges for refrigerator carlood movements from Maritime points to other ports of Canada range from s5.95 per car for distances under 300 miles to 310.82 beyond 1.000 miles.

The commission said the charge to Toronto from Grand Falls. N. B.. now is sl1.89 and from Char- lotletown 8l0.il2.

A United States interstate com- merce commission tfeoision six months a.go,removed a similar charge from Maine potato traffic.

Maritime shippers based their representations on changed trans- portation conditioiis, especially greater competition from other forms of transport. .

He told the provincial govern- ments' Trade and Industry Coun- cil this likely increase of about sl.000,000.000 in the gross national product, represents an equivalent increase in physical output. as the general price level has been more or less stable in recent months.

Fierce Gales

LONDON. (CP) -- Gales whipped the eastern Atlantic into a boiling cauldron Tuesday. then died down

-as suddenly as they arose leaving

fin their wake a procession of bat-

tered shlps heading for port.

The Atlantic liners Queen Eliza- beth. Iie de France and the United States had a 12-hour. battle with Hinds reaching 80 miles an hour that swept down the west coast of Britain and into the English Chan- mi.

The French liner Ile de France. packed with U S. tourists on their way back home. plucked 24 men out of the water when the Liberian freighter Greenvilie sank 700 miles off the west coast of England.

Two Die in Sinking

Two men. one of them the cap- tain. died as the Greenvilie floun- dared helplessly. The rescued 24. two Britons. 12 Egyptians and 10 Greeks. were pulled aboard the lie do France after the liner issued an "abandon ship or we leave you" ultimatum.

Both tho Queen Elizabeth and the United states were held up by the gale and mountainous seas. The Queen Elizabeth docked at Southampton is hour: late. The United States was delayed five hours before she was able to pull away from Le Havre. bound for Southampton and New York.

Casualties a rd the United states included one seamen with a

broken leg and scores of bruises among the passengers. At. Liverpool. the 21.833-ton

Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Australia was held at her dock by the storm, unable to move to the landing stage to take on passengers

8.000 Nfid. Fishermen in Prolesi ilrilte

ST. JOHN'S. Nfid.. (GP)-Eight thousand Newfoundland fishermen now have tied up their boats in protest against the lack of salt cod pt-ice support. the Newfoundland Federation, of Fishermen reported Tues.day.'

That's 2,000 added to the protest ranks since last. Friday, taking in almost all federation members.

The movement isn't a strike in the ordinary sense. Federation of- ficers say they h'avan't ordered the tie-up. that it is a spontaneous ac- tion of the men themselves.

Fisherniei'.'s locals in many parts of the province say the men voi- untarily suspended operations pend- ing a definite settlement. They want a, price at least equal to last

year's. The current average of 83 per quintal til2 pounds) is less than that.

The federation says it has ad- vised nsher-men to accept partial payment for their catch until the outcome of present talks between shippers. the men and the govern- ment is known.

Fisheries Minister Sinclair an- nounced earlier this month that Ottawa didn't plan to support fish prices this year. He said world

market conditions made it unnec- lessary. .
