Changes in Work
Rules Suggested
By bard Vetoed
Chicago IDPD The sudden
collapse of talks between the
nation's railroads and five
unions tossed the controversy
over "fealherbedding" back
to the Kennedy administra
tion today.
Railroad bargainers walked
out of the negotiations Thurs
day, charging that the five
operating (on train) brother
hoods refused to give ground
on work rule changes recom
mended by a presidential
commission.
The recommendations in
cluded proposals that would
eventually eliminate the jobs
of some 40,000 firemen, who
allegedly are "featherbed
ding" on dicscl engines.
J. E. Wolfe, top bargainer
and spokesman for the car-
riers, said the railroads would
tell the unions within 10 days
whether they would put the
commission recommendations
into effect.
If such a move is approved
by the railroads, Wolfe said,
the work rule changes would
become effective within 30
days of the notification.
The brotherhoods, repre
senting 211,000 employees,
have rejected the recommen
dations as a basis for negoti
ating new contracts.
Faces Strike Threat
Thus, if the proposed work
rule changes are put into ef
fect. President Kennedy may
be faced with the job of head
ing off the first nationwide
rail strike in 16 years.
Wolfe said the railroads are
free to change the work rules
and that the unions are. free
to strike. This, he said, was
because the agreement to
create the commission stipu
lated that its operations and
recommendations would re
place mediation and emer
gency board processes re
quired by the Railway Labor
Act.
But he said the agreement
"does nut deprive the Presi
dent ... of his statutory
right to appoint an emergency
board."
At his news conference
Thursday, Kennedy said that
Labor Secretary Arthur J.
Goldberg was keeping a close
check on developments inline
controversy.
Blame ihe Other
In separate news confer
ences, both union and man
agement blamed the other for
the breakup of the negotia
tions. "The unions' flat refusal to
face up to the public respon
sibility and their continued
defiance of the presidential
work rules commission leaves
us no alternative," Wolfe said.
"The unions have announc
ed both publicly and informal
ly that they Intend to defy the
presidential commission and
in their meetings with us have
steadfastly refused to come to
grips with the subject."
He called the negotiations,
which have passed through 20
sessions since April 2, a "tra
vesty on the collective bar
gaining process.'
The brotherhoods called the
railroad action unprecedent
ed" and charged the carriers
with violating a pledge lo
"discuss and negotiate all is
sues in the dispute."
"This is not the way to ne
gotiate an agreement and cer
tainly dues nut represent good
faith collective bargaining,"
the unions said.
Not Talking Strike
Both sides, however, indi
cated there was no immediate
strike threat.
A spokesman for the broth
erhoods, which include fire
men, engineers, conductors,
trainmen and switchmen, said
! they "are not talking strike
at the present time."
Sam C. Phillips, assistant
president of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and
Engincmen, and he foresaw
no "wildcat'' strikes. The
unions will make a decision
on their next move later, he
said.
Wolfe said, "We do not ex
pect a strike. We do not in
tend to lock anybody out.
"We expect that eventuallv.
with tile assistance of the ad-
ministration or otherwise, in
agreement will be reached
within the framework of the
presidential commission report."
Kennedy's Decision To Sefidl Troops
To ThoiDeirod) Coob !tuttfoe)s& Asia Crisis
United Press International
President Kennedy's deci
sion to send combat forces to
Thailand appeared today to
have cooled down the crisis
in Southeast Asia.
With U. S. Marines estab
lished within striking distance
of t h e Laotion border, pro
Communist rebels gave back
ground to the royal Laotian
army.
A battalion-sized force had
reestablished the control of
the pro-Western government
in the Laotian Mekong river
village of Houei Sai.
American military advisers
ventured up to 25 miles out
of the village with Laotian
army patrols without encoun
tering the rebel force that
drove the royal army across
the Thailand border last
week.
The rebels proclaimed over
their clandestine "Voice of
Laos" radio they would not
give up the strategic towns of
Nam Tha and Muong Sing al
though they were on the gov
ernment side of the cease fire
line proclaimed last year.
Nevertheless, no fighting
has been reported In north
western Laos for nearly a
week, raising hopes that the
rebels were ready to sue for
peace.

President Kennedy indi
cated at Mis news conference
Thursday that the United
States was agreeable to a
cease fire at present positions
without the rebels necessarily
giving back the territory they
have wrested from govern
ment forces this month.
"Obviously," he told a ques
tioner, "we would prefer as
great a withdrawal to the line
that was in effect a week or
so ago as we could get. I
think, however, that the peace
along the line which now may
exist, of course, is essential."
In Knoxville, Tenn., Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk told
newsmen Thursday night that
the Laotian people would
settle their own problems
peacefully if "foreigners . . .
would just leave them alone."
"The three princes are now
converging on Laos again -two
of them have been out of
the country in the last few
days - and talks may resume
at the beginning of this next
week," he said. "We hope that
they will find some agreement
on a coalition government."
