Firemen Ordered Back To Jobs On Railroads

WASHINGTON UPI — Railroad fire men were reporting back to work today on the eight major hnea they tied up for four days in a uailtl iiiUhm dollar, 38-etate strike. The on-agadn, off-again walk out faltered to an end Mtortiy before ndrtnlgtit Sunday wto H. E. Bd Gilbert, preMdent of the AFL-CIO Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen (BLFE), ordered 8,000 union members off the picket lines and back to work. The railroads said some idled trains were rolling again within hours of the strihe’e end, but normal operations on other rune were not expected before the end of the week. Within minutes of Gilbert’! order, the Illinois Central began readying passenger trains to get its estimated 33,000 commo. tens to work this The Boston * TUhWi* ■in full commuter service for more than 12,000 daily riders. Tens of thousanders of automobile and other industrial workers, Idled by the stoppage, wen expected to be ceiled baric to thete jobs whw. The nathm’e first major poatWorid War XI rail strike caused file layoff of upwards of 300,000 workers on the roads them*

The railroads said their own losses wen at least 830 million but then ww untold cost to the nation’s economy from lost automoMla and industrial production. Although the strike was sn ed, the reasons behind It and the issues which developed from it remained far from settled. On one principal pointy the union apparently was forced to back down. At issue was whether the BLFE would be exempt from railroad damage auks ariafa from the strike. These could run into mLBfcxn of dollars. The railroads refused to guarantee there would be no suits, and for a while the union refused to call off the strike until they did. But under pressure from the Johnson administration, imwm leaders finally relented on this point. In addition, Gilbert and other union representatives were summoned to a hearing before U. S. District Court. Judge Alexander Hbltriioff today to show cause why the BLFE should not be fined 8500,000 a day for disregarding a back-to-work court order Issued hat Saturday.

He set Sunday noon as the ifraffllna for the start of a 525,000-a-day fine against the BLFE and $3,500-*. day fine against Gilbert for each day the strike lasted. The specific issue the BLFE said it was striking over when the walkout began at 13:01 a. m., last Thursday was that the railroads refused to bargain in good faith over a prupossl to train hid-off firemen to become engineers. In addition to the TEUwofa Central and Boeton A Maine, the lines effected were the Pennsylvania west of Huthburg, the Union Pacific, IQs, souri Pacific, Grand TVunk Western, Central of Georgia and Seaboard Air tjh* railroads. 20 Years 4ft Hugh Lawrence accepted a position as pharmacist at the Keller-Coan Pharmacy.

MOSCOW UPI — Russia announced today it has “successfully" placed man’s first satellite into orbit around the moon and beamed the Communist anthem — The Internationale — directly into the meeting of the Soviet party congress here. The orbiting of Luna 10 was a major step toward placing a man on the moon and a propaganda triumph hailed wildly by the 6,000 delegates and foreign Communist guests at the Congress. The space feat followed by two months the Russian’s historic soft landing of Luna 9 on the moon’s surface. The achievements, yet tb be duplicated by the United States, have given the Russians major victories In the race to the moon. Sharaf Rashidov, an alternate member of Russia’s ruling Communist party Presidium, announced the latest Soviet space triumph to the congress. “For the first time in history, an automatic station has successfully been orbited around the moon,” he said. “We. are proud that the first lunar satellite was created in the Soviet Union.” But Rashidov kept silent on Western scientific reports that Luna 10 was tumbling in orbit and may not be able to take pictures of the moon’s surface.
