Trainnlen Get
A Showdown

CLEVELAND, Jan. S CAP)-
Forces contesting for top lead
ership, jobs in the 100000
member Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen appeared
closely matched today as the
union went into opening busi-
ness of a special convention
that may last a month.
By a 15-vote margin, 5S1 to
SIG, insurgents who have ex-
pressed strong dissatisfaction
with the way William P. Ken
nedy, president, has conducted
union affairs seated C. M.
Wilkinson as chairman yester-
day. Mr.. wilkinson defeated v.
w. Satterwhite, Mr.. Kennedy's
assistant.
They won another show-on-
hands vote that tested relative
strength when they overrode
Mr.. Kennedy's attempt to re-
strict the business Of this
special convention solely to
election Of officers and amend
ment Of the Brotherhood's con-
stitution to bring it into COM
pliance with new Federal labor
legislation.
Mr.. Kennedy, 81, has headed
the trainmen since 1949 when
he was appointed to an unex-
pired term. He was elected In
1850 and again in 1854 when
the union held its last conven-
ton. r-
Failure of the Kennedy forces
to limit matters taken up by
the special convention opens
the way for an all-out attack
on Mr.. Kennedy's stewardship.
I'VE want the restrictions
removed" said Clyde M. Titler,
a brakeman delegate from Hill
Ter. Pa. and one Of the spckes-
men for the insurgents. so that
delegates will hear how our
union has been mismanaged the
last four years"
Election Of officers is not
likely to come up for about
three weeks. The convention
is closed to newsmen.
