Railroads Lose Suit
10 Bar Certain Union
Demands Under Act
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Feb. "A Federal
judge today turned down a re-
quest by the Nations railroads
for a judgment to bar unions
from seeking health and other
fringe" benefits under the Rail-
way Labor Act.
The railroads had asked for a
declaratory judgment to ban de-
mands for "extraneous" benefits.
But Judge Win G. Knoch ruled
that the railroads cannot pro-
coed under the Declaratory Judg-
ment Act. He then dismissed the
railroads suit.
Have Threatened Strike.
The railroads, in a suit filed
November 4. contended the Rail-
way Labor Act requires the rail-
roads to negotiate with their
employees only on questions of
wages, rules and working con-
ditionS.
Counsel for the Is non-operat-
ing rail unions had asked the
judge to dismiss the suit, claim
ing the issue could be settled
only by mediation or arbitration.
The incorporating unions.
representing more than / million
workers, have threatened to
strike to back up their demands.
They have no pending wage
increase requests, but seek a
number of health-welfare and
other benefits. These include
life insurance to be paid by the
railroads: hospital, sickness and
disability benefits for employees
and their families. and greater
free pass and vacation benefits.
Presidential Board Set Up.
President Eisenhower has set
up a three-man emergency fact
finding board to hold hearings on
the dispute. The sessions were
begun here last month. but are
in recess until February Is.
The incorporating unions,
made up of clerks and others
who do not work on moving
trains, made their demands I'M
der the Railway Labor Act.
The railroads suit was, in
effect, a request for a court in
depreciation of the 27-year old
act in the light of current trend
toward demands for so-called
fringe" benefits.

after serving six years as Gov
ernor, 80 years as State Senator
two years in the State House of
Representatives, two years as

The late Alva B. Adams, for
mer United States Senator from

point Of contention in the testi-
n1ony.
One of the key questions con-
corning the photograph has been
the question Of who asked that
it be taken. Mr.. Cohen has
testified Mr.. Stevens requested
it, but the Army Secretary has
denied this. Sergt. Manchester
was not asked this question dur.
ing his testimony because Mr..
jenkins told subcommittee mem
bers he was on the stand solely
to testify on the question of
whether or not the photograph
had been "doctored" to show
Mr.. Stevens and Pvt. Schine
alone.
After completing, his testi-
mony, Sergt. Manchester told a
newspaper reporter that he had
directed members of his photo
graphic staff to take the picture
as part of their routine duties of
taking pictures of prominent
people visiting the air base. He
told the reporter he could not
recall that any other official had
requested that the picture be
taken.

more than l million Americans
have given their lives in the de-

very valuable to preSent-day
Americans, Gen, Stuart declared.
