Railroad Conlracl Talks Continuing CHICAGO (UPD—The nation’s railroads negotiated with the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen today on their opposing demands for wage boosts and wage cuts. Representatives of three major railroad conference committees scheduled exploratory wage talks with the trainmen’s union, which represents road brakemen, flag* men, baggagemen and some yard foremen and switchtenders. The talks came as railroad unions prepared to answer the industry’s campaign for major] changes in work rules at a rail workers' rally hee tonight. A spokesman for the sponsoring Railway Labor Executives' Assn. | said “several thousand” railroad employes were expected to turn out for the mass meeting. George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, was expected to pledge the support of 13,500,000 AFL-CIO members to railroad labor’s fight to win wage boosts and resist rules changes that would lop off thousands of workers the industry said are no longer needed to run the trains. George M. Harrison, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, was slated to give the railroad unions’ side of the dou-ble-barreled dispute over wages and rules. The BRT also asked continuation of a cost-of-living escalator clause and proposed using a new Bureau of Labor Statistics price

index as a base The railroads asked abandonment of the’-cost-of-living esclator. Spokesmen for both the carriers and union said the negotiations were still in the "exploratory” stage. If no agreement is reached in several sessions here, one side or the other is likely to ask for intervention by the National (Railway) Mediation Board. Wage talks between the carriers and three other operating brotherhoods—the engineers, conductors and switchmen’s unions—already are in the mediation phase, with meetings scheduled almost daily. Talks on work rules are expected to begin at a local level later this month. They probably will reach national levels late in November or early December.

At least six deaths were blamed on the weather—three in Wisconsin, and one each in Illinois, Montana and Colorado.

Two tornadoes were reported in Texas. The Weather Bureau said more heavy snows would blanket northern Wisconsin and Michigan today while snow was expected as far south aS the Texas Panhandle. Cold wave warnings were posted in northeastern New Mexico and the weatherman said the wintry : front would envelop the entire Midlands as far south as Dallas by nightfall.
