It was learned Thursday that leaders of the 16 rj2ions represent- ing the workers, received author- ization for a strise vote Tuesday -- the day they accepted the board's report which recom- mended contract concessions worth $60,000,000. The railways, meanwhile, "'ur- gently" examined ways and means of securing additional revenue in the light of the report. They expect to complete their study of the geport "within a few days." The board's recommendations were just that much more than the railways had bargained for, They sought to have the current contract extended for another ar, WORKERS UNHAPPY The employees, on the other hand, accepted the proposals -- amounting to slightly more than half their origin dissatisfaction. The conciliation report calls.for an 1l-per-cent wage increase and other concessions. demands--with| tion here was that they would accept them under some coercion from the federal cabinet which has been trying to figure out how to avert a rail tieup without imposing compulsory arbitration on the unions. In a statement Wednesday the railways said acceptance of the report would add "at least $80,- 000,000 a year to their operating costs." ™ WOULD HURT COMPETITION "It is no less clear," the state- ment continued, "that any attempt to pass such an amount on to the public through the medium of the existing freight - rate structure would so damage the competitive position of the railways as to be self-defeating. "Nevertheless, in the light of the report, the railways are urgently re-examining all possible avenues of securing increased revenues and reduction in their other ex- penses."

Somebody shouts "Squid Ho!" and the fishermen rush back to their jiggers. All squid boats have red bot- toms because red is said to en- rage and attract squid, as it does bulls. The jigger is a piece of lead, also red, four or five inches long, shaped like a parsnip up- side down, with a dozen or more sharp unbarbed pins or hooks ring- ing its flat bottom. The jerky mo- tion of the red jigger inflames the voracious squid and they drive themselves on the hooks in a frenzy. "You don't jig the squid, it jigs itself," says Mr. Ronayne. squid's body is about eight inches long, it slongest tentacles 12. It snaps at the jigger with its beaked mouth, concealed at the base of its arms. When dipnets are used jiggers with the pins removed are dabled in the water until attacking squid cluster around them snapping and squirting the inky fluid the squid use for underwater smoke-screens. They are dipped -out in writhing bundles. Traps are net boxes 12 feet square and 12 feet deep with an opening on one side.

When enough! furious squid have charged inside, the opening is closed and the net traps are taken up and emptied. NO CASH BRANTFORD, Ont. (CP)--Mag- istrate J. T.
