Collective Bargaining
Held Right Course

besides those Of the firemen
and crew makeup.
Negotiations have estab-
lished a basis from which both
sides can proceed quite easily
to a settlement of the other
issues If the pivotal issues can
be settled" Mr.. Wirtz said.
He said the conclusion gen.
orally reached by the public
that nothing has been accom-
plished during the long months
Of negotiation is erroneous.
"A great deal has been &C.
compliShed which can't be re-
allied until these other two
matters are settled" he said.
Taking part in the news con-
ference with Mr.. Wirtz was
Commerce Secretary Hodges
who served as vice chairman Of
the special committee. He said
the public does not have the
complete picture of Just how
many issues are involved in the
dispute.
Mr.. Hodges said the general
impression seems to be that
only "featherbedding," or made
work, is involved. He pointed
out that the report notes there
are differences between the car
riers and the unions also on
train crew composition, train
runs, wage structure and fringe
benefits, employment security
and training.
The term 'featherbedding,"
Mr.. Hodges noted, is not used
at all in the report. Unions,
since the outset Of the work
rules dispute, have objected to
that term. s.
Other members OF the six
man special committee were
Joseph L. Block. board chair
man of Inland Steel Corp,
George Meany, president of the
AFL-CIO. E. G. Leighty, presi-
dent of the Railway Labor Ex-
ecutives Association, and Stuart
T. Saunders, president Of the
Norfolk & Western Railroad.
Senator Goldwater, Republic
can of Arizona, announced in
a statement yesterday he will
introduce this week legislation
to ban "featherbedding" prac-
tees in the railway and air
transport industries.
Senator Mundt, Republican,
South Dakota. a member Of
the Senate Labor Committee,
suggested yesterday that Mr..
Kennedy recommend a secret
strike vote by railway union
members in an attempt to
avert a tieup.

gestion in a letter to Mr.. Ken

The commission recommended
that separation allowances, re-

ship programs-which do not
exist for operating employees
were requested by the brother
hoods for engine service en-

In essence, both the commits

recommended that the parties
should negotiate a training pro-
gram to insure an adequate sup
ply Of qualified engine service
employees. Discussion of this
proposal has been largely de-
ferred pending resolution of
related manning issues.

,TEXT OF REPORT TO PRESIDENT
Rail Panel Presents Facts,
{ Issues on Labor Dispute

FOLLOWING Is the teEt OF the
report By the Presidents Ad-
Disory Committee on Labor
Management Policy which
studied the rail labor dispute,
as made public yesterday BY
the White House:
Dear Mr.. President:
On July 10, 1868, you re.
quested that this special SUBJ
committee Of your Advisory
Committee on Labor Manage
ment Policy Immediately re-
view and report to you the
facts and issues Of the rail-
road rules dispute and the re-
spective positions Of the car
rierS and the five brother
hoods. You specifically asked
that we carry out this assign
ment in full consultation with
the parties.
We have met with the par
ties to this dispute on a num-
Der Of occasions since July 10.
They have provided the sub
committee with statements
which we have discussed with
them. We also have reviewed
with the parties a draft Of our
report and carefully considered
their comments.
The report which we re-
spectfully submit with this let
ter Is one to which we unani-
n1ously subscribe. We believe
that it fairly and accurately
reflects the current posture of
the case within the scope Of
this assignment.
Respectfully,

noon sessions. Neither Of the
two union groups had any COM
ment at the close.
Mr.. Writ, however, an
nounced the engineers and fire.
mems union delegates would
confer with him again at 10
am. today, with the remaining
leaders due at noon, following
yesterday afternoons pattern.
He said there was a possibil-
ity that the noon meeting today
would turn into a joint session
with carriers negotiators also
on hand.
Before beginning yesterdays
meetings with the two sides,
Mr.. Writ was asked II the
renewal Of talks with the two
sides indicated an agreement
may be coming.
There was enough indica-
ton to persuade us that this
negotiating should be DONE"
he replied.
Works on Message
He noted, too, that much al
ready has been done to clear
up numerous issues involved in
the dispute but that the ques-
ton of firemen's jobs and the
makeup Of train crews re-
main the chief obstacle to an
agreement that could head off
the walkout tentatively set for
July 20.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Kennedy was
reported working on his special
message to Congress while
spending the week end at
Hyannis Port, Mass.
The Secretary stressed that
the speed-up Of sessions does
not mean settlement efforts
would be dropped during the
one-week grace period between
tomorrow and July 20. He said
collective bargaining sis the
one right course" to settle
ment land we don't stop on
that ever"
Both Mr.. Writ and the
White House refused to give
any hint Of what the President
plans to ask in the way of
legislation to prevent the strike,
If possible, or to halt it If it
starts before new laws can be
enacted.
Compulsory arbitration, Gov
eminent seizure of the rail
roads or some combination of
the two are the most-discussed
approaches.
There was some speculation
that the very nature of the
proposals might push the
parties toward a voluntary
agreement, once they are made
pubic.
No Recommendations
The fact-finding committee.
named by Mr.. Kennedy on July
10 just after he STAYED off a
strike only eight hours before
it was to start, gave its report
to the White House Friday.
In line with its assigned role.
the six-man committee headed
by Mr.. Writ made no recon-
mendations for ending the f.
year-old dispute, which centers
largely on the jobs of $4,000
firemen manning diesel loco
motives on freight trains and
yard engines.
The 3,00O-word report was
merely a review of the case
and an affirmation that the
parties remained deadlocked on
the two key points-the fire.
mems jobs and the makeup
Of train crews.
1t was based largely on a
presentation of positions by the
two parties, plus the findings
of a special 15-man commits
sion appointed in 1860 by then
President Eisenhower and a
three man emergency board
named last spring by Mr.. Ken
nedy.
Shows Progress
Both sides accepted the re-
port as a factual presentation
of the development of the dis
pute and the position in which
1t now stands.
Mr.. Writ said one result of ,
the study was to show how
much progress has been made |

N. Hilton, special assistant to
the Presidents Commission
on the Status Of Women, and
Mrs. Lorraine Torres, asso-
ciate for Status of Women on
the AAUW headquarters
staff, were two Of the con-
vention speakers. They
stressed the need for up
dating the "old-fashioned"
ideas Of women's place in the
home, since one-third Of the
country's labor force is wom-
en- and one-third Of all mar
ried women living with their
husbands are employed out
side the home.
Mrs. Hilton declared that
traditional ideas" are still
held by too many Of our law
makers and by too much of
our mass media facilities and
that this blocks protective
legislation in labor and the
field Of civil and family
rights.
