Railway by the unions con tained a union snop clause. That meant all workers had to ioin the union within a certain period of time. The Taft-Hartley law, wnicn rovers most labor - manage ment relations, leaves the union shop question up to the states. Some states have pass ed so-called right to work laws which bar the union ennn But. since federal law supersedes state law, these statutes cannot appiy to wors ers whose job situation is gov erned by the Railway Labor act. .

The dullness reflected a double holiday-Columbus day and the Jewish holiday, Yem Kippur. Because of the. for mer, all New York banks, most commodity markets, and most corporate offices closed.
