Red WorkP|an
Begins in Cuba

HAVANA. April / CAP).-
The Cuban labor force began
working today under a new
sports-like competition scheme
borrowed from the Soviet
Union. =
I The Castro regime hopes it
will increase productivity and
cut abSenteeism.
The system is known here
as emulation" It is called So
cialist emulation in Russia, but
the term generally is translated
socialist competition for Eng
disappearing persons.
Its object is to pit individual
workers and factories against
each other.
Winners receive pennants,
lapel buttons. scrolls, pictures
and, in some instances, paid
vacations or up to rs per cent
OF a months salary as a bonus.
Emulation is based on a point
system awarded or subtracted
on the basis Of on-the- job per-
formance, savings, education
and increasing efficiency.
The newspaper Hoy (Today)
an enthusiastic fan of all in
novationS from the Communist
bloc, called emulation "a COL
lective effort to increase pro-
duction and quality, to better
oneself mutually and to equal
or exceed the work of the best
(workers) for the benefit of
ALL"
Used in conjunction with
work norfnS-another system
borrowed from Communist
economists-the new system
will offer a yardstick to gauge
workers attitudes.

Rails Can Cut
Employees Now
BY the Associated Press

Railroads have the right, ef-
fective today. to announce the
work force reductions they have
been urging for four years.
An announcement could
touch off a Nationwide rail
strike threat, but President
Kennedy is expected to step
in this week and order a 60
day delay.
In fact, the President re-
portedly may not wait for a
strike date to be set before he
takes action under the Rail-
way Labor Act.
Under its terms a strike can
be delayed while a presidential
board takes 80 days to recon-
mend a solution and the parties
negotiate for another 80 days.
H. E. Gilbert, president of
the AFL-CIO Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, said yesterday that II
the railroads announce their
new manpower rules, five
operating unions representing
100000 employees may resort
to "the exercise Of our economic
strength. or in real plain old
language. a strike"
A l5-man commission named
by former President Eisen-
hover recommended among
things that railroads be allowed
to lop off some 10000 jobs Of
firemen on freight and yard
trains. OF these about 10000
would be laid off. The other
spots would not be filled when
the present jobholders die, quit
or retire.
The unions contested the
findings but the Supreme
Court recently held that the
railroads were free to make the
cuts which they contend will
save them $500 million an
nually. That ruling takes ef-
feet today.
Mr.. Gilbert said in a radio
interview (MBS, Radio News
Conference) that overall rail-
road employment has declined
from IL million in l947 TO lust
under 100000 at present. He
said the railroads claim they
can operate with only $4,000
employees.
He conceded that existing
work rules, which the railroads
complain encourage feather
bedding" should be updated.
Although the commissions
recommendations would strike
hardest at the firemen, five
unions have been negotiating
with the railroads since the
Supreme Court decision. Be-
sides firemen they represent
engineers, conductors, trainmen
and switchmen.

posed legislation to permit ad-

tude OF fine plans available TO

after almost three years of OPP
eration, many employees are
still confused by a bewildering
array OF 81 plans with 55 OPP
tions," Mr.. Macy said.
Mr.. Macy said approval OF
additional plans would result
in a disproportionate increase
in administrative expenses in
