STARTS TONIGHT 'V 1 'I 1 VBWBtar . A MMM0WT KUAX JlOREligJINN 5 Mediators Work Toward Deadline In Rail Dispute - Chicago-flJPD-Federal media tors worked toward a Friday deadline today in efforts to head off a 50,000-member un ion's threat to break off wage talks with the nation's rail roads. The Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers Wednesday said it would take a strike vote and ask . the National Mediation Board to arbitrate if the carriers do not make higher wage increase offers by Friday. 'Feeler' Rejected - . Perry S. Heath, assistant Grand Chief Engineer of the union, said the brotherhood had rejected a "feeler" by the railroads for a 3 per cent wage boost, about IVz cents an hour, effective next Jan. 1. However, Theodore Short, spokesman for the railroad negotiating team, denied that a wage offer had been made arid charged that Heath's state ment was an attempt to "mis lead the public." Mediators are meeting al most daily with union and railroad bargaining teams, sometimes separteiy, some time jointly, to fulfill pro visions of the Railway Labor Act. Heath said his union had suggested a 6 per cent pay raise July 1 and another 3 per cent boost Jan. 1. He said the railroad offer was made informally in subcom mittee meetings. "Neither the union nor the railroad committees have as yet made an offer on wages," Short said. . .

Last Jan. 31, a federal court jury here awarded Mrs. Wan amaker $145,000, largest ever given by a jury here. On May 6, federal Judge George L. Hart Jr. said the damages were "so excessive as to shock the conscience:" He said there should be a new trial in the case.
