Rail Sick Calls
|Hif New York
Long Island Service
Slowed at Rush Hour

NEW YORK. Dec. ~ tR.--
Thousands Of suburban COM
muters had trouble getting tc
their jobs In Manhattan today
because Long Island Railroad
service was cut about half By
trainmen reporting sick and
unable to work.
The trainmen were dis
gruntled over work schedules
for Christmas eve and New
Years eve. but the precise
nature Of their grievances was
not learned Immediately.
At Minneapolis. w. p. Ken
nedy. president Of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen
said no strike had been au-
thorized and the Long Island
Workers action was not rec
ognized by the union as such
He said he did not know the
circumstances Of their dispute
with the railroad.
Local union officials were moi
available for comment. One
had said yesterday that ne
strike was authorized. inasmuch
as q national mediator had en-.
tered the picture. Such a steT
automatically postpones strike
action.
Court Issues Order
Meanwhile the railroad OBJ
tanned a restraining order from
Federal District Court Judge
Mortimer w. Byers barring the
Brotherhood from continuing
the work stoppage.
Judge Byers made the order
returnable December 81 a,
which time the union mus,
show cause why q temporary
injunction should not be issued
The railroad in its petition fol
a restraining order charged
that the work stoppage wa:
causing the line and the public
irreparable harm.
During the morning rush
hours. five Of the Long Island 1
network Of nine branches were
reported operating normally
Service on the others. including
some Of the main lines, ranged
from zero to upward Of so pei
cent.
The railroad estimated over
all service at about half.
Some 1856 trainmen notified
the line early today that they
were Ill and unable to work
many doing so in telegrams
which were signed by as many
as is men. Some $50 trainmen
were scheduled for work.
No Word From Union
A railroad spokesman said
the line has received no word
from local union leaders as Ia
what they don't like about the
holiday eve work schedules.
They're the same as we've
had since 1883" said the Long
Island spokesman.
Ordinarily, the railroad =
busiest commuter line In the
world-handles some 285,0O(
fares daily.
On Christmas and New Veal
Ewes the number OF daily trav.
elers and trains is about %
per cent less.
The railroad said the dis
agreement involves swing men
who have free time between
runs and are paid for that time
and extra men who have nc

SECURITY FOR YOU
Disabled
Missing Out
On Benefits
BY RAY HENRY

Some 10000 badly disabled
persons who could have been
collecting social security dis
ability payments since July l
still haven't asked for them.
Even so. the Social Security
Administration says they
haven't lost any money. They
can apply now and draw full
back payments.
But. they must act quickly
For. II they apply after jan
uary !, their payments will
start as Of the month they APP
ply and there1l be no back
payments.
Just why so many haven't
applied yet. the social security
people don't know. Presumably,
it's because they don't realize
they're eligible.
One probable reason Is that
many don't know they can be
eligible even though their disa-
bility dates back to October /.
i94l.
so. II you've become disabled
at any time since then and
haven't applied for the pay
ments, II will be well worth
your time TO check your eliei-
bility with your nearest social
security Office.
To be eligible. you'll have 10
meet these requirements:
/. You must hav en- perma-
nent mental or physical disa-
bility which is so severe that
you can't do any substantial
work. and
2. You must be between SO
and IS. and
3. You must have had the
disability for at least six
months; and
4. You must have worked UNI
der social security for 5 Of the
10 years before you we're dis
abled and for Is OF the 81
months before you were dis
abled.
Without too much trouble
you should be able 10 decide
whether you meet the last
three requirements.

Duveen never put the master
