Willard Wirti met today with the chief negotiator for the railroads in the Kennedy administration's continued efforts to block a nationwide rail strike. Wirti and J. E. Wolfe, major spokesman for the carriers, con ferred privately in Wirtt's office at the Labor Department. Neither Wirte nor Wolfe would say what subject was under dis cussion, but it presumably con cerned the President's promise to seek legislation that would settle the four-year-old- dispute over work rule changes advocated by the railroads. "This is just a private chat," Wolfe told a reporter before en tering the secretary's office. ' That's right, that's all that K is." Wirte added. The unannounced meeting was the only sign of activity in the railroad dispute.
