As this is written, word has
just come from Washington that
acceptance by both sides ot
BINDING ARBITRATION of the
two key issues involved has ap
parently killed the threat ot a na
tionwide railroad strike w h i c h
has been hanging over the coun
try for months.
Late Friday, Labor Secretary
Willard Wirtz announced the ac
ceptance of his proposal first
made on August 2 that the ques
tions of firemen's jobs and train
crew makeup be submitted to an
arbitration board made up of rep
resentatives of the railroads, the
five on-train unions and two PUB
LIC members.
This board would make a final
decision. BINDING on both par
ties, only on Uie firemen's jobs
and the train - crew makeup.
Throufihout the battle over what
the railroads call feather-bedding
there has been general agree
ment that if these two thorniest
problems could be solved the par
lies could AGREE on all lesser
issues without great difficulty.
Throughout the long ncgotia
lions. COMPULSORY (binding!
arbitration has been the chief
issue. That raises this question:
What is compulsory arbitra
tion? Let's put it this way:
The jury system is compulsory
arbitration. Individuals, or cor
porations, or partnerships disa
gree. They can't settle their dis
pute among themselves.
So-
Somebody sues somebody
The disagreement goes to
court. A jury decides it. There
mav be appeals. But when all
the courts clear up to the U.S.
Supreme Court, if it is carried
that far have had their say, the
final decision MUST be accepted
What is that but compulsory
arbitration?
How did the jury system get
started?
It is an interesting story. The
jury svstem was established
England by Henry II. grandson
of William the Conqueror, in the
late 1150's. Prior to that time,
both civil and criminal cases had
been decided through the oath,
the ordeal or the duel.
The court would order one of
the litigants to muster a body of
men who would swear to the
justice of bis cause and whom.
it was believed, God would pun
ish if they swore falsely. That
was the oath.
Or, the judges would condemn
the accused, under the supervi
sion of a priest, to carry a red
hot iron, or to cat a morsel of'
bread or to be plunged into a
pool of water. If the iron did
not burn him. or Ihe bread choke
him. or the water REJECT him
so that he could not sink, then
Divine Providence was adjudged
to have granted a visible sign
that the accused was innocent.
The duel, or trial by battle,
was a Norman innovation based
on the theory that the God of
Battles would strengthen 1 h e
arm of the righteous and so the
winner of the duel would be in
nocent. Or. if he HIRED a cham
pion, and his champion won the
duel, he would be innocent. If his
champion lost the duel, it was a
sign that the accused was guilty.
Weird, isn't it?
Rut. after all
Is it much different from our
modern system of settling labor
disputes?

Death
For County Man
A Keno construction man, Wil
liam Lown, 41, lost his life about
1:43 p.m. Saturday in an at
tempt to rescue a youngster ap
parently in danger of drowning
in the waters of Lake Ewauna
just below the Link River bridge.
The body of Lown was recov
ered by Don Crownover, diver of
the city fire department, about
p.m.
Mrs. Charles Marshall, 3113 Hil-
yard. and Gladys Delaney, Chilo-
quin. both eyewitnesses to the
tragedy told this story: A young
ster began jelling for help. He
was out in about the middle of
Lake Ewauna. (Police later iden
fied him as Steven Michels, 11,
of 40 Pine Street.)
They said that Lown came run
ning from beneath the bridge un
der construction at that point and
dove into the water without re
moving his clothing.
He swam to the boy but when
he attempted to help him. the
youth panicked and began fight
ing. Lown went under six or sev
en times but managed to keep
pushing the youngster to the sur
face. Three other men came to the
resuce from the Veterans Me
morial Park side of the lake.
They grabbed the youngster but
were unable to find Lown who
had disappeared.
Meantime, the Chiloquin wom
an had sent Ron Boothby, 2919
Summers Lane, to sound the
alarm. He called the fire department.
The rescue squad arrived and
recovery operations began imme
diately. Sheriff Murray Britton and a
boat crew conducted dragging op
erations while three skin-divers
from the city fire department,
crownover, Ed Hadley and Har
old Eilts donned scuba diving
gear and conducted an under
water search.
According to the police report
Michels was a beginner swim'
mer, and was swimming in the
area with a buddy. He was hold
ing onto a board and it slipped
beyond his grasp. At tins point
he began yelling for help.
Lown was an employe of the
W. D. Miller Construction Com
pany.
Lown is survived by the wid
ow, and a son, Robert, 5610 Cot
tage, Klamath Falls, police re
ported Saturday night. The body
is at O'Hair's Memorial Chapel.

Police reported that the son
and Mrs. Lown were near the
scene of the mishap and that
the son attempted to launch a
boat to assist his father. Both
were taken to City Center Motel
where sedative treatment was ad

OXFORD. Miss. (UPD Jame3
H. Meredith, who broke Missis
sippi's century - old tradition of
segregation, is due to graduate
Sunday despite a last - ditch at
tempt to have him expelled from
the school he could not be slopped
from attending.
Barring some final hitch, the
30-year-old Air Force veteran will
receive a bachelor of arts degree
in political science and become
the first Negro graduate in the
history of the 115-year-old Uni
versity of Mississippi.
The bitter resentment that has
dogged him at the school flared
again the past week when Gov.
Ross Barnett tried to have Mere
dith's degree withheld. Barnett
claimed anti-segregation remarks
made by Meredith violated a uni
versity order prohibiting students
from making public statements
about the school's racial crisis.

army during the regime of ousted
dictator Fulgencio Batista.

recruited by a CIA agent who
used economic pressures and
blackmail which included getting
him (ired from his job in the
United States several times.
After that, the announcement
said, the agent said he could
solve his economic problems if he
decided to work as py.

Detectives said Reese at first
told them he broke into the school

Tlie policy-making bodies of the
other four unions involved also

acceptance was considered likely

However, a snag developed over
timing of negotiations on tlie oLh-

The railroads were reported oo-
poscd to the union's demand that
these issues be handled before
arbitration begins on the make

firemen.
Management sources said the
hassle could upset tlie Wirtz plan
and renew the threat of a nation
wide strike Aug. 29.
Wirtz, who hailed the carriers
for their unqualified acceptance
of his plan, said the procedures
should be straighened out at once.
"I am sure that there will be
the exercise ot fullest good faith-
from all parties in resolving this
question and that with this good
faith it can be worked out," he
said in a letter to the union
chiefs.
Government officials indicated
they would not relax until both
sides had buttoned up the settle
ment procedures, in the battle
over rules changes that could
eliminate the jobs of 37,000 diesel
locomotive firemen.
The two main issues to be sub
ject to arbitration, according to
Wirtz, are:
The extent and speed of elim-
haling diesel engine firemen and
the procedures and help for these
men once they are jobless.
The size of crews on trains.
This is known as "crew consist"
issue.
The issues which would be ne
gotiated demands by the railroads:
Interdivisional service, which
would require crews to extend
their runs beyond one railroad di-vision.
Road crews would be re
quired to do yard work and yard
crews would be required to do
road work.
Makeup of crews for self pro
pelled machines.
Adjustment of tlie basic pay
system, from the present combi
nation of mileage and hours. :
Union demands which would be
subject to negotiation:
Broader overtime rules.
Higher pay and work guaran

The question of living ex
