Circuit Court of Appeals today for permission to invoke "anti-featherbedding" work rules which would ultimately eliminate 65,000 jobs. Five unions representing 210,000 engineers, firemen, switchmen, conductors, trainmen and enginemen have threatened a nationwide strike if the rules are put into effect.

The railroads announced a week ago the new rules would take effect Thursday. Last Friday the brotherhoods were given a temporary restraining order by District Judge Joseph Sam Perry preventing the lines from invoking the new rules until an appeal of a union injunction petition is heard. Last Thursday Perry denied the unions a permanent injunction banning the new rules. He found the railroads had a legal right to impose the new working conditions.
