BENTON HARBOR, MICH. MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1963 TWELVE THE NEWS- PALLADIUM, Supreme Court Decides In Favor Of Railroads Clears Way To Change Work Rules 'Featherbedding' Is Prime Target WASHINGTON The Supreme court unanimously upheld today a lower court ruling that the nation's railroads have' the right to make sweeping work rules changes. The high court in an unsigned opinion rejected a union protest against plans by the carriers to eliminate what management calls "featherbedding" work practices Five operating unions, representing about 210,000 men whe man' the trains of 195 railroads, had asked the high court tc overturn a decision by the U.S Circuit court in Chicago. The Circuit court had ruled in favor of the railroad and their plans to make working rules changes. VOTE IS 8-0 The Supreme court's was by an 8-0 vote.

Justice Goldberg, a former Secretary of Labor, disqualified himself from the case. Supreme court's opinion said' that there was no bad faith or misconduct on the part of either railroads or the unions that would justify either side's "unilateral imposition of changes In working rules." The opinion added then: "What is clear, rather, is that both parties, having exhausted all of the statutory procedures are relegated to self-help in adjusting this dispute, subject only to the invocation of the provisIons of Section 10 (of the Railway Labor Act) providing for the creation of an emergency board. And on this basis the judgment below (by the circuit court) must be, and is affirmed." CLEARS WAY The Supreme court decision means that the railroads, having gone through required bargainIng procedures of the Railway Labor Act, are now free to put desired manpower economies into effect. If they do this, a nationwide rail strike would be immediately threatened. However, the carriers and the unions have an informal agreement with the White House not to make any moves for 72 hours.

This armistice will give PresIdent Kennedy time to invoke procedures that will delay any showdown at least for 60 days. Actually, with legal technicalities cleared away, both sides are to start real barexpected, first time in the more than three years they have been sparring over work force reductions. LINES' GOAL The carriers' immediate objective is to discharge some 000 firemen, and then gradually eliminate some 27,000 other locomotive firemen in freight and yard service. The carriers claim the firemen are no longer needed on modern diesel locomotives. The carriers are expected tc serve a five-day advance notice that they will put their desired manpoyer economies into effect Both the carriers and unions know that this will not be done without bargaining for an agreement on the matter.

Kennedy will take advantage of the three armistice to name a National Emergency board under terms of the Railway Labor Act with the responsibility of investigating and recommending a settlement formula. EISENHOWER BOARD Since an earlier board a commission appointed by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower spent 8 year studying the same dispute, the Kennedy panel probably will devote most of its to informal settlement efforts. The Eisenhower -named commission, headed by former U.S District Judge Simon Rifkin recommended that the railroads be permitted to discharge some 13,000 firemen having 10 years service or less and that the remaining firemen in freight train service be gradually eliminated by attrition, that is not be replaced as they die or retire. The Kennedy board will have 60 days before either side can act.

In announcing the awards, Dr. Keller said, "The John Hay fellows program is unique in that it speaks up and puts up for the humanities at a time when there 1s so much emphasis on science.

However, Romney has insisted several occasions that he is on not candidate and that his major interest is in solving Michigan's problems. VICE -PRESIDENCY? The Free Press said that Michigan Republicans accompanying Romney indicated that the governor's assurances to the site committee would apply only to the Presidency, not to the vicepresidency.

Romney, who become Michigan's first Republican governor in 14 years by defeating former Gov. John B. Swainson, has never said he would turn down a possible draft in 1964, but he has said this possibility is "highly improbable." In addition to its pitch for the GOP convention, Detroit also is bidding for the 1964 Democratic national convention. Accompanying Romney to Washington were Michigan's Republican congressmen and John Martin, national committeeman, and Mrs. Ella Koeze, national committee woman.

The motor city's bid for the GOP convention site is expected to center around the city's facilities with emphasis on the $55 million Cobo Hall and convention arena. Democrats Told To Heal Party Split (Continued From Page One) state administrative board and other leaders, supporting former State Chairman John Collins, to a hotel room three blocks away while he made a speech that helped Swainson's candidate, Zolton Ferency, win the post in an upset. "I regret very much that little Swainson said. "I apologized privately for it before and I do it again now. I was, however, very happy with the results of the convention." Ferency called the Grand Rapids affair "water over the dam" and believed Vice President Johnson's visit would do imbe measurable good in helping the party rally for the April 1 election.

LOOK TO FUTURE "Both Nell (Congressman Neil Stabler) and I are more worried about tomorrow than what happened in Grand Rapids," he said. Ferency quoted Johnson as saying the visit had convinced him talk of a split in Michigan Democratic ranks was "more smoke than fire." Similar feelings were voiced by other leading Democrats, among them Stabler regarded as the leader of the anti Ferency faction who said, "I have no bitterness about Grand Rapids. We have work to do."
