Two Unions May Join
In Strike 10 Put Third
Man on Diesel Crews
By the Asse<icssd Press

A rail union spokesman said
today there is a possibility that
the Locomotive Engineers and
Brotherhood of Firemen and En-
ginemen would join in any strike
action aimed at placing a third
man on Diesel locomotives.
The two unions of locomotive
crewmen are fighting to create
another job on the Diesels. Only
two men are employed at present.
The brotherhoods. headed by
Alvanley Johnston and David B.
Robertson. have been contending
since 1887 that q third man is
needed for safety.
Mr.. Robertson's Brotherhood of
Firemen and Enginemen an
nounced last night a strike may
be called at any time. A union
committee will meet in Chicago
next week to discuss the situation.
Mr.. Johnston's union still was
clinging to talks with the rail-
roads. a spokesman said here.
Both unions have exhausted the
procedure of the Railway Labor
Act for stopping strikes. including
mediation, arbitration and ap-
pointment of presidential emer-
gency fact-flnding boards. Only
the decision Of a committee of
chairmen of the various railroad
units is required to date the ST: ike.
Some informed persons told re-
porters strike Is more likely to
pe called on a couple of railroads
at a time. and probably those
using a preponderance Of Diesel
locomotives.
"As a result of the position
taken by the railroads." Mr.. Rob-
ertson said, "the possibility of a
strike as a final step in this
long standing dispute now will be
considered by our committee"
The 10000 members of the
union authorized a strike in a
referendum several months ago.
A presidential fact finding board
decided in 1948 that no extra man
was needed on Diesel locomotives.

Are you going to 60 on?" asked
his press agent. Leo Friedman.

But they struck first.
II thought they were pretty
gullible for Soviet agents, but
guess I was really the gullible
one"
This first trial in Germany ol
an American soldier charged with
dealing with Russia seemed al
times more like a comic opers
than a spy trial. Mueller was the
only witness in his defense.
Frequent Sallies of Humor.
There were frequent sallies Of
humor from the defendant anc
the lawyers, which drew chuckles
from the spectators.
Mueller talked glibly in the
clipped British accent he acquired
from his English mother and his
long residence in Burma, where
he was born. He smiled as his
lawyer made light of the whole
affair.
But Mueller turned serious at
the end of half an hour of direct
testimony.
Tears welled up in the youth 4
eyes and his voice broke as he told
the court:
II know I did wrong and In,
sorry. I tried twice to kill myself
because of this affair. But I al
ready have been punished by siz
months in Jail at hard labor while
awaiting trial. I would never dc
sue ha thing again."
Mueller said he sent his tele-
gram to the Soviet consulate "or
a juvenile impulse, just to see
what would happen"
He said he had heard rumor.
that Communists were infiltratine
