City prodding kept negotiations early today in the wage- L between represent- Sonal Brotharhood of Team: ternational Bro 'eam- sters FD). the union of the 183,000 striking drivers and plant workers. Talks had been going -on since Monday morning, with federal, state and c| mediators present. However, at 2 a. m. EST today the various parties left the con- ference room. without indicating ther the talks were continuing elsewhere. The sessions had been held at three different hotels in as many days. : 3 Just before midnight, negotiators for both sides said they would re- main in session--separately or to- gether--throughout the night. They said, however, there would be no announcement before completion of a formal meeting :cheduled for 10 a. m. LINE UP AT DAIRIES Deliveries to homes and retail outlets were cut off by the strike, which started Sunday afternoon. Consumers lined up Monday out- side dairy plants for rationed milk or turned to such substitutes as evaporated and powdered milk. The union kept milk supplies going to hospitals, schools and some other institutions. Milk tank trucks were diverted from the city to processing" 'plants, for cheese and other dairy foods. Robert Abelow, counsel for the companies, refused to comment on a report that the dealers might ask President Eisenhower to in- voke the Taft-Hartley labor act and seek an 80-day no-strike in- junction. A $l5a-week wage increase and a 35hour work week instecd of the present 40 hours are sought by the teamsters. The company represent- atives were reported offering pack- age boosts of up to $2.10 an hour. The firms say current wages range from $82 a week for plant workers to $125 plus commissions for whole- sale route salesmen.

Slam by Wave Holes Liner NEW YORK (AP)--The Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth arrived to- day with a 20-foot gash on her starboard side, the result of being slammed against a concrete pier in Cherbourg by a strong current. Commodore Harry Grattidge, master of the 83,000-ton vessel, said cement patches had closed up the hole and that permanent repa'rs could wait until her an- nual overhaul in December.

Only one member of the crew survived. The 35-foot lifeboat pu: out Mon-- day night in answer to a report that a vessel was in trouble. off the Inchcape Rock. That rock, the graveyard of many ships, was the subject of a poem by Robert Southey. The lifeboat failed to find a trace of the vessel it was sent out to help. WAVE CATCHES BOAT Friends and relatives gathered along the harbor wall as the re- turning lifeboat approached the breakwater. They watched in hor- ror as a giant wave c-ught it. Shouts from the crew 'reached them as the boat was, tossed onto rocks only 50 yards from shore. Then nothing could be heard but the roar of the sea and the howling of the gale. A rocket line fired from shore tangled around the body of the only survivor, Archibald Smith. With its help he pulled himself to "fety and was rushed to hospital. Later, seafarers from this little port found the body of the cox-- swain, David Bruce, in the wreck- age of the lifeboat. He had lashed himself to the helm. Three bodies were recovered from the sea and a search still is under way for the others. Banks Raise } Co. Interest TORONTO (CP) -- Canadian chartered banks have advised fin- ance companies that, effective Dec. 1, the interest rate on loans to these companies will be raised from 4% to five per cent. The companies are those which handle the financing of motor cars, refrigerators, washing machines and other consumer goods. A spokesman for one bank de- scribed the increase as "in line with the cost of operation." He said it is not part of a policy of "credit tightening." A spokesman for a finance com- pany said money borrowed at the old rate is loaned out on paper that will net be all paid back for 24 or 30 months. He did not know whether the increase would be re- flected" in the cost to the con- sumer of financing of new pur- chases. Strikers Won't Replace Fuse TORONTO (CP--A strike of 10 hydro employees forced 16 homes on a street in the fashionable sub- urb of Forest Hill to go without power Monday night when a fuse in a transformer blew out. The strike leaves authorities helpless to repair any line breaks. The walkout was called last Thurs- day by Local 1, National Union of Public Service Employees. Reeve Charles O. Bick said the only issues in the deadlock dispute were demands for a union shop covering the 10 employees in the bargaining unit and inclusion of a foreman in the union. OTTAWA (CP)--Finance Minis- ter Abbott said today he is "amazed" and "annoyed" by the Saskatchewan government decision not to allow its employees to buy payroll deduction plan, "That is not the kind of co-oper- ation we expect from a provincial government," hey said. "Every other provincial government per- mits deductions. So do 80 per cent of Canada's private employers." Mr. Abbott was commenting on a Regina dispatch reporting Pro- vincial Treasurer C. M. Fines as saying that now that the country is back to normal, it is "surely not too much to.expect the Domin- ion government to arrapge to sell Canad : savings bonds through the |issue bonds. CCF Saskatchewan Annoys Mr. Abbott its bonds in the same way provin- cial governments have always done." In reply, Mr. Abbott said the Saskatchewan government doesn't i comparable. {o- those issued. by the federal government. In any. case, the federal govern- ment doesn't ask for any special co-operation from the provinces in any '"'ordinary" federal financing operations. But the Canada savings bond drive is something "special." It is for the "national good of the coun- try," said Mr. Abbott. It had high interest rates;~designed especially for the wage-earner, with a ceiling on the maximum amount which can be held by each buyer. The Grand Jury, empanelled by Mr. Justice D. P. J. Kelly, at the Supreme Court Assizes in Whitby this morning, reported it had found a no bill on the charge of murder which was, laid this summer against Roger John Corbett, 19, following the. shooting of his broth- er at their home in Uxbridge.

NOW 80 SEATS Conservatives Win Niagara NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. (CP)-- Arthur Jolley, 42-year-old building contractor, Monday was elected to the Ontario legislature for the Ni- agara Falls riding, winning the seat for the Progressive Conser- vatives in a four-way fight. His victory was a gain from the Liberals, who held the seat since 1948 until William L. Houck re- signed last summer to successfully contest the newly-created federal seat of Niagara in the Aug. 10 general election. The Progressive Conservative candidate's election in this first by-election since the provincial general election in 1951 increased the party's representation in the 90-seat houSe to 80. The Liberals hold six seats, the CCF 2, Liberal- Labor 1 and Labor-Progressive 1. On the basis of returns from 134 of the 137 polls, Mr. Jolley re- ceived 10,338 votes; Grant Donald, Libera, 7,205; Pat Spain, CCF, 2,768; and Mary Price, Lahor-Pro- gressive, 286. Mr. Jolley's plurality was 3,133 and his vote was greater than the combined total of his three opponents. The number of eligible voters was 38,016.

An Owner Can Make Ice-box Safe CHICAGO (AP)--Each of 28 children who were smothered in abandoned refrigerators in the United States this year died be-- cause two small screws held firmly in place, a service expert said. "You can render virtually any refrigerator harmless by removing the lock stop fom the doorsill, as in most models this metal part is held by only two screws," said Harry D. Busby, statistician for the Refrigeration Service Engin- er 5 Society. Busby said 8,000 members of this group--the men who maintain and repair refrigerators--have - pledged their help .to their communities in making old iceboxes harmless in their communities. "But anyone can do it," he said. "It takes about two minutes, and it doesn't damage the refrigerator or keep it from being put back into service." Survey Ship Sunk in River PORT HURON, Mich.

In the morning I was baking, sitting in front of the ov- rogm and said 'Mom, there isn't any use of me going to work be- cause that foreman (in General Motors) is going to fire me." Then followed some discussion about a car he owned and Buck swore that he could not drive the car. His mother told him that he could . drive it. "Then he hit me a blow," said Mrs. Corbett. "I'll give you another," said Buck. "And he did. Then he said, 'I'll kill you'." "I ran across the street and stay- ed there until Ted came home from work. I told Ted that I am getting out of her in the morning. I was afraid of Buck. 'Ted turned to Buck and said: 'You pay mother $lo and get a room somewhere else.'

MARY'S, Scilly Isles, Eng- land (Reuters) -- Dark clouds and gloom shadowed Britain's sunny Atlantic paradise today as two in- come tax inspectors opened an un- precedented visit to hitherto-tax free soil. The weather, traditional ally of the Scillies' thriving tourist busi- ness, did its best Monday to aid the 'islanders again, buffeting back the travellers' light plane. But the tax men pushed on through the driving winds and set their craft down safely for their "goodwill and fact-finding visit." Little goodwill was felt by the 1,800 natives of a region by-passed by tax collectors for the last 111 years. 'The vultures are here" was the word passed through the pubs and over the fences. The Scillies, a cluster of islands southwest of Land's End, .- have been dreading the visit ever since treasury chief Richard A. Butler announced in his budget speec last April that he would correct the 'defective machinery of as- sessment '--causing the Scillies' Tax Vultures Hit Scillies happy state of affairs to end. The islanders then were given a year's respite, with pay-as-you-go tax due to be imposed at the start of the new fiscal year next April. HIGH FREIGHT CHARGES The main tasks now of the tax men are to gather data on the number of persons who will be sub- ject to assessments and .to ac- quaint the people with the intri- cacies of paying income tax. : The islanders claim that their tax immunity has been niore than compensated by the high cost of living on the five inhabited islands. Freight charges from the mainland raise price levels of most com- modities to 30 per cent above those in England . proper. The islands derived their im- munity from the fact that the: were frée of land tax in the 19t century. At that time they were too" poor to provide any revenue natives say. When Britain installe its income tax system, it utilized the existing land tax administra- tive machinery, and the Scillies remained outside all 'subsequent impositions.
