William Darby Union Plans Rail Strike Washington (JP) A nationwide strike of railway firemen and en-ginemen is planned for next month to protest the rejection of a union demand for an extra fireman on diesel engines. David B.

Robertson, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, disclosed the plans last night. "We will do it," he said, "to assure a proper measure of safety for our members and the public." The union request was turned down by a presidential emergency board Sept. 19. Rail workers are barred by law from walking off their jobs until 30 days after an emergency board makes its report. The firemen's brotherhood had contended that (A) second fireman was required on diesel engines for safety purposes and (B) the more efficient diesels are knocking firemen out of jobs by cutting down the number of trains needed.

The emergency board replied that diesels are being engineered for greater safety, making the extra man unnecessary. And it refuted the union's second statement with a report that the diesels actually are creating jobs by attracting more freight to railroads.

Ray was told his wife was being taken ta lhe Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital.
