Mediafors' Meetinu
SET Monday 10 Avert
New York Rail Strike
BY the Asseeiafed Press

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-Federal
Imediators will meet here Monday
with union and New York Central
Railroad officials in new attempts
to avert strike threatened against
the roads lines east of Buffalo.
The on-again-off-again strike
threat simmered down yesterday
when union officials acceded to
Federal mediation reluctantly
but "in the public interest"
A few hours before, a walkout
definitely had been set for 2 pm.
(EDT) Monday.
Union leaders in Cleveland
issued this statement:
Mediation efforts under the
Railway Labor Act were exhausted
once in this case two years ago
without satisfaction to the work.
ers. However, in the public inter-
est, we are asking reluctantly that
our members bear the brunt of
another round of the same pro-
cess.
I'VE are postponing the strike
for a reasonable period, pending
mediation efforts by the (Railway
Mediation) Board"
The independent unions invol-
we'd are the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, and the Order of Rail-
way Conductors.
The threatened walkout stems
from a two-year dispute over back
pay claims and working condi-
tions. Present wages are not a
factor.
A strike would involve 5000
workers directly, another $4,000
indirectly, and would shut off serv-
ice for some $4,000 metropolitan
area commuters.
