None of the House Commerce Group Approves Rail Strike Bill Washington IUPII The House Commerce Committee today approved legislation -to. avert a nationwide rail strike Thursday while the Senate squared off for what a Re publican leader said would be a real shooting match over a similar bill. Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen, 111., said op posing Senate forces were "coming out of all corners shooting" over a bill to set up a seven-member board to arbitrate the 4-year-old d i s pute. With one key exception, the House bill was similar to the Senate version. It would not subject the so-called sec ondary issues to arbitration. The Senate bill would pro vide for arbitration of these matters if no agreement was reached by collective bargain ing within 30 days. Both would provide that the two primary issues, the need for firemen on freight and yard service diesels and over-all make-up of train crews, be resolved by arbitra tion binding on both the un ions and the carriers. The administration is gun ning hopefully but not opti mistically for enactment of legislation by Wednesday to avert a threatened nationwide rail strike one minite after midnight local time that day.

Esti mates of when they may reach the surface ranged from late afternoon to late at night. Rescue workers bored past the 250-mark without a major hitch in the final stage of reaming out an existing 12 inch hole from the surface to the spot where the two were trapped when a mine shaft collapsed. But officials were becoming increasing cautious as the drill approached the subter ranean chamber where David Fellin, 58, and Henry Throne, 28, were waiting to be saved. The miners said some dust was falling into the cramped chamber despite a concrete plug at the bottom of the 12 inch hole. Mine experts said this was to be expected. However, they decided to call a strategy con ference when the drill, in scraping out the smaller hole to a diameter of 17'2 inches, reached a depth of 265 feet. At this meeting, they plan ned lo decide on whether the shaft, after being enlarged to 17 '2 inches, should be widen ed even more, to 20 inches. There were fears the metal escape capsule, which was ex pected to bring the men to the surface, would get stuck in the narrow rescue. Officials also wanted to de cide whether to send a volun ter down to help the men into the capsule. The 10-foot long concrete plug was poured to prevent dirt, rock and coal being scraped out in the reammig operation from falliing into the miners' tiny prison.
