Railroads, Unions Resuming Battle CHICAGO (UPD—The nation’s railroads and five rail unions resumed battle across the negotiating table today in their longstanding “featherbedding” dispute. The fight between the railroads and five on-train brotherhoods over job-c utting work rules changes could wind up in a crippling nationwide rail strike. Even though hopes for an early settlement appeared dim, it appeared likely that the quarrel would be dumped on the White House doorstep before strike stage is reached. The railroads had an edgelast week’s Supreme Court ruling that they have the right to put into effect work rules changes which would eventually eliminate up to 80,000 jobs. The roads insist they need these new work rules to eliminate “featherbedding” — their term for work which is not performed or is not needed. The talks between the two sides broke off last July when the courts took over the case. The railroads offered and the unions agreed to start talking against after last week’s Supreme Court ruling. At stake under the proposed rule changes are the jobs of about 40,000 firemen in diesel locomotives in freight and yard service on 195 railroads in the nation. The railroads term these firemen’s jobs as unnecessary. In addition, other proposed changes involving modernization would, over a period of years, trim possibly another 25,000 to 40,000 jobs from railroad payrolls. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

Young Woman Found Dead Near School PLAINFIELD, Ind. (UPD—Authorities today awaited a toxicologist's report on the cause of death of a young woman whose body was found propped against a tree by schoolchildren playing tag in a fog. Rolland M. Carey, 33, Indianapolis, Tuesday identified the body as that of Sharon Elizabeth Corbin, 27, Indianapolis, and told police he recently received a letter from her in which she spoke of suicide. Carey said they had planned to be married this year. The children found the body near St. Susanna s School early Tuesday as they romped in the fog while waiting to attend early Mass. Sister Roberta Ann, principal of the school, said the children reported the discovery to her, saying, “Sistei Sister, there’s a woman laying out there.” The disbelieving nun told the children to watch their grammar. “There is a woman LYING out there,” she corrected them. Later, she mentioned the incident to a priest and he told her to call police. “The children were not screaming or overly excited. At first I thought they were imagining,” she said. Although there were bruises on the body, Dr. Robert Kirtley, Hendricks County coroner, said an autopsy failed to reveal any gross evidence of physical violence. He tentatively listed the death as a suicide. Carey said the woman’s last letter to him threatened to “do away with myself or move out of the state.” He said she gave no reason for her state of mind. Miss Corbin had been missing from her apartment since March 3, and Carey reported her disappearance to Indianapolis police the following day. Authorities said she had been dead about 36 hours at the time the body was discovered. Meet Economy Don’t burn away costly roasts!
