SOUTHAMPTON, England (Reuters)—A sea-going budgie named Joey Friday enjoyed un limited shore leave.
Chances are the diminutive
stowaway, who made 10 trans- Atlantic, crossings aboard the liner Queen Elizabeth, will be on the beach for°a’ long, long time. Twenty minutes before sail- ing time Thursday night, the Elizabeth’s, superstitious crew demanded that the budgie be put ashore. They claim he put the whammy on the ship.
The festhered ‘‘Jonah” was

On the commodore’s instruc- tions, second officer Peter Jack- son sent Joey to his Southamp- ton home.

Proposed -
* MONTREAL (CP) — New con- tract talks between the CNR and the railway firemen’s union have made a ‘certain amount of pro- gress,” union spokesman -W E Gamble said Friday.
The two sides met Friday to consider a federal conciliation board report that proposed wage increases for the CNR’s 3,500
-ifiremen and a possible settle-
ment of the controversial diesel dispute.
“Certainly we understand one another better now,” said Mr Gamble after spending four hours with CNR representatives and agreeing to meet again Monday.
There was no immediate com- ment from railway officials. DECLINE COMMENT
The union negotiators declined to say whether they were willing to accept or reject the concilia- tion report. The CNR accepted it when it was made public last month, but the union withheld judgment until it had heard the views of the membership Mr Gamble declined to dis- close — at this time’’ what the members’ decision was.
The basis issue in dispute is the conciliation board’s proposal —not binding on either side—to keep present firemen on yard and freight diesels on their jobs, but not to hire ny more.
This was the formula used to settle a strike last may by fire- men working on the CPR It was the second strike by CPR fire men in less than two years over the same issue.
The conciliation report also recommended an aggregate wage increase of 95 per cent, based on a three-year agreement and providing a two-per-cent increase retroactive to April 1, 1958; an- other eight-per-cent boost effec- tive not later than Aug 1,. 1959, and a final 15-per-cent-increase April 1, 1960.

A spokesman ‘for Rothmans of Pall Mall Canada Lid., said: “The actual increase works out to 2.2 cents per package of 20 cigarets, to this increase must be added the additional corpora- tion taf, financial charge and re- cent increases in freights, so that the retail price of cigarets must be increased by at least three cents per package of 20.”

The cases involved approxi- mately $4,559,428 in U.S. income and excess profits taxes for the years 1943 through 1949. - CASES LINKED
The two cases wer: linked in the appeals court decision in that Consolidated. Premium was or- ganized in 1942 as a sales agency for Steep Rock.
