28 The Boston Globe Tuesday, September 11, 1979 $14,000 to black officer Wildcat strike shuts down N. Shore trains MOORE said he was in court yesterday when the order to end the picket line was issued by the judge. Commuters who called the MBTA for emergency bus service to the North Shore in lieu of the trains were told there would be none because the MBTA didn't have enough buses to operate even its own rush-hour schedules. The leaders of the two largest unions on the Peter Carbone, general chairman of the United Transportation Workers Union, and Charles Healy, general chairman of the Brotherhood of Engineers and Firemen, read the court orders to members of their unions at the North Station concourse last night. They said their men refused to cross the picket line when the pickets threatened them.

"We will have to continue to honor the picket lines for fear of bodily harm," Carbone said. picketing the railroad until the 18 men fired by over the weekend are returned to work with no loss of in a second order yesterday, Zobel set a contempt-of-court hearing in her courtroom for Thursday morning for those who refuse to comply with her back-to-work order, which applies to all employees. In addition to their disagreements with management over the firing of the 18 men and the hiring of nonunion workers, who have since been dismissed, the Maintenance of the Way and the other operating unions are involved in joint negotiations on new labor contracts. Many of the workers milling about the concourse at North Station last night said they have been working on an extension of the old contract for the past 20 months and felt that management was "dragging its feet." Leonard Ford of Melrose, one of the 18 fired by lost salary, overtime, paid details and other benefits. In his grievance against O'Brien, Moore described Glen Park as "a notorious trouble spot" and said that without his police revolver, he feared for his safety in that neighborhood.

The court affirmed the award to Moore of salary and benefits retroactive to September 1976. Moore was reinstated and given desk duty in Aug. 1978, after the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination ruled the Somerville department discriminated against him. After the 1976 MCAD ruling, Chief O'Brien said Moore's gun was taken away from him after two shooting incidents and a psychiatric report which said Moore "was not fit to carry a firearm." Continued from Page 17 On Sept. 14, 1976, Moore was assigned to night foot patrol in the Glen Park area of East Somerville near the Charlestown line.

That order directed him to perform that duty "without a service revolver, night stick, walkie-talkie or Mace," equipment usually carried by other Somerville officers. The court noted that police boxes in the Glen Park area "often did not work because of vandalism." In that area also, a barrel with Moore's name on it was used "as a symbolic target" and was "riddled with bullets by youths in the area," the court said. Moore was listed as "absent without leave" when he refused that duty, and he Continued from Page 17 "I have a special reason to get home tonight. This is our anniversary and I have made reservations for 7 p.m. for my wife and myself at our favorite restaurant.

I left home early to get the 4:25 train as part of my surprise to my wife. But this is just another way the MBTA and the is taking the public for a ride, literally and figuratively." Some of his ire seemed to be rubbing off on the roses he was carrying. They appeared to be wilting under his tight grip. Kim MacLeod of Danvers, Barbara Janedy of Reading and Mary Rivers of Danvers, all secretaries, said they Were unaware of the strike when they came to work on the train yesterday morning. They said they would call their families to come and pick them up if they couldn't get a train home last night.

Alice McCarthy of Danvers, a cashier in a downtown restaurant, said, "I think that the people on strike should have told us there would be no trains today during the weekend so thai we could have made better arrangements. I think they have taken advantage of the commuters again." Bruce Fleming of Melrose, a construction worker, said, "I have to support the strikers because I am a labor man myself. You know the public just doesn't take time out to learn all the facts behind such a labor action. I am inconvenienced in getting home, sure. But I am in full support of the strike." The strikers said last night said they would continue Papal Mass cost to city debated POPE Continued from Page 17 The next witness, Dr.

Kenneth Claus, another Unit 3 IJziLI WL1 LrnALJo ww fPfl wi? a ed Church minister, began his presentation with a rebuke of Langone: "1 would have hoped you'd show him (Harper) a little more courtesy than you did." "I think Charles Harper was very pleased with the courtesy he was shown here," Langone replied. "No I was not," Harper remarked from the visitors' gallery. Claus, as he left the council chambers, told reporters, "The treatment we received here was discourteous." Another witness opposing the expenditure was William Baird, a prominent pro-abortion activist, who called it "totally illegal" and "totally unconstitutional." He threatened to sue the council to halt the expenditure, arguing the money should be used to aid the sick and the elderly. The prospect for television monitors diminished yesterday as architect Anthony deCastro, consultant to the archdiocese, said he had received one proposal to provide two screens for $9000 to $10,000, but he wondered whether, at that cost, the screens might be too small. If the cost of the screens, which is being borne by the archdiocese, rises to $60,000 per screen, a figure deCastro said he had been given yesterday for large screens, "that's outrageous and there's no way we could do that," he said.

At the same time, he added, "there's a strong desire by the archdiocese to have them if it can be accomplished," The archdiocese has hired deCastro's firm, Glaser deCastro Associates, to plan the physical arrangements at and around the Common. It depends how issues are seen ISSUES Continued from Page 17 More recently, Finnegan has criticized Rep. King and Timilty for advocating too much community control, and he has presented himself as someone sensitive to neighborhoods but still supporting a strong, centralized planning effort under the mayor. "Somebody has to make the decision and draw the lines and determine here is where we ought to go this year," Finnegan said. "Here is the way we ought to spend the money.

Here is the project I am going with. That is why you have mayors." Rep. King said he would decentralize the BRA, and Timilty, who describes himself now as "a product of the neighborhood movement," is an unabashed supporter of more community control as presented in his National Neighborhood Commission report. Timilty's chairmanship of the commission is a source of pride for the senator and he is quick to cite initiatives in other cities such as Seattle's neighborhood service centers as examples of what he would do if elected. In terms of Boston, directly, the report seems to have had only mixed impact.

White admits he has never read it, yet while describing the report as ineffective, the mayor's administration has recently made proposals supported by the Commission. In the same way, Timilty has criticized White for focusing on the downtown, yet the senator could not name one project under the Boston Plan which he did not support. Finnegan and Rep. King were less kind, and both cited the downtown Lafayette Place project as a poor investment from the city's standpoint. "Jordan Marsh is a multi-million dollar corporation," King said of the department store, which is one of the chief beneficiaries of the proposed parking garage and hotel-retail complex on Washington street.

"It's ironic that business keeps saying they don't want government involved and that's what they say until they want some of government's money." Lafayette Place and other commercial developments have received special 121A tax agreements from the city, which limit the future property taxes on a project in order to encourage construction. Critics have argued that the agreements are too freely applied to development downtown. Yet White said there is a new trend away from such requests, since the developer's income is also limited under the law. Rep. King said the legislation should be re-examined, and both he and Finnegan advocated using the taxing power to encourage more commercial development in neighborhood business areas, rather than downtown.

500 protest at nuclear site Reuter GORLEBEN, West Germany Police cleared about 500 demonstrators from a planned nuclear waste disposal site yesterday so that drilling could begin. Clearing away the protesters took several hours because as fast as some were carried away from the wooded site, others sneaked back, police said. Seventeen demonstrators climbed trees, which police cut down. Borings are being made to a depth of VA miles to determine whether extensive salt deposits in the area are suitable for holding nuclear waste. the continental U.S.
