RAILROADS (Continued from Page One) Feb. 25. . Two major issdes—use of firemen on diesel locomotives and the size of train crews—were settled by binding arbitration under the first peace-time arbitration law to U.S. history. That law, approved by? Congress last Aug. 28 to heed a off a nationwide strike threatened at that time, left many issues to be resolved through negotiations. However, bargaining has produced no progress on these other issues. The railroads are trying to revise the pay system, combine road and yard work, make man power economies on self - propelled equipment and win the right to make longer runs without crew changes. The unions are demanding more overtime, paid holidays, premium pay for night work and away-from-home expenses. WoVe Issues Statement The railroads had served notice that any strike against an individual railroad would be considered a strike against all lines. Management had blocked two previous threatened strikes against individual lines with court injunctions. After 7,200 engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen struck the Illinois Central, Wolfe met with top railroad negotiators, then issued this announcement: “The operating unions’ assault on the public, launched without warning in the dark of night against the Illinois Central and its customers, is typical of the unions’ continued irresponsibility to the featherbedding dispute. “As neither the railroads nor the public can tolerate this guerrilla warfarp, the railroads plan to post their revised rules, as affirmed by the U. S. Supreme Court at 12:01 a. m. Friday, April 10.” A spokesman for Wolfe said the rules would be posted on all major roads except the Southern Railway* Florida East Coast and the Central of Georgia. Those carriers are bargaining separately. The dispute began to November, 1959, when the railroads submitted demands for sharp reductions in crew sizes and overhaul of the pay system.
