We could not meet with them before the strike, and each chain filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board in Newark. That's what precipitated the strike." Vaillaincourt refused to confirm or deny whether any agreement bad been signed by the four chains, but he said Niccollai was "trying to create dissension" among the chains with his charges.

Unltid Pru Intwnsttonsl PARSIPPANY Negotiations were adjourned yesterday in the latest attempt to end a three-week-old butchers strike against four supermarket chains, but a state mediator said the talks were "productive." Although a settlement was not reached during yesterday's talks, state mediator John Te-sauro said there was some progress. "You might say that It was a productive day. I am satisfied that both parties will continue to meet Monday face to face, so as far as we're concerned, Sunday's session was productive," he said. He refused to discuss the details of yesterday's joint session at the Aspen Manor in Parsip-pany but said, "from the standpoint of mediation, we will talk as long as necessary." "We met at 1 p.m. and adjourned at 6 p.m.," Tesauro said.

"We are going back at 11 a.m. Monday to continue negotiations." Resumption of the talks yesterday was ordered by Kenneth Kowalski of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. It marked the first time the two sides had met since a 26-hour session ended early Wednesday morning. The dispute started Jan. 15, when approximately 7,000 members of Local 464-a of the United Food and Commercial Workers struck 334 Foodtown, Pathmark, Grand Union, and Shop Rite stores In northern and central New Jersey and southern New York.

Just before the session started, Local 464-a President John Niccollai Issued a statement in which he charged that the four chains had signed a secret compact in December in which they agreed not to negotiate seriously until the strike had lasted six weeks. Niccollai said the agreement, signed Dec. 2, 1983, also provided for a $250,000 fine for any chain reaching a separate agreement with the union, with an additional fine of $50,000 imposed for each day any separate agreement stood before the other chains had settled. "We accuse (the chains) of deceiving the public and deceiving our members with phony bargaining sessions that have been set up for no purpose," Niccollai said. Management spokesman Donald Vaillain-court denied Niccollai's charges and accused the union of negotiating in bad faith.

ts ivcn't spsra tfcs red By Janny 8cott Staff Writ State transportation officials are trying to figure out who named the Harrison A. Williams Jr. Metropark train station in Iselin so they can determine what would be required to change the name. The question arose when the Woodbridge Township Council, which is mostly Republican, passed a resolution to remove the name of the convicted former senator, who is a Democrat The council forwarded the resolution to the adminstration of Republican Governor Kean, and the Transportation Department staff is looking into it "Normally when a building is named, it's done by the legislature," Jim Weinstein, director of communications for the Transportation Department said last night "If it was named by the legislature, it would take legislative action to change It" But it may have been named by the state Commuter Operating Agency, a forerunner of NJ Transit Weinstein said. In that case, the NJ Transit board of directors would have to change it Weinstein said he did not know when the department would have an answer, and it had not been decided whether the administration would support the change.

Williams is serving a three-year prison term for his 1981 conviction in the Abscam bribery case. When a Republican majority took over the council last month, Woodbridge Mayor Philip M. Cerria wasted no time in winning passage of the resolution. "He had gone though all the appeals, the process was done, and he had done an injustice," Council President Richard J. Kuzniak, who voted in the six-Republican majority, said last night Countered Councilman Robert Molnar, who voted in the three-Democrat minority, "If you know somebody's down, it's like walking up and kicking him." The council sent the resolution to the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders, with its Democratic majority, and to the Kean adminstration.

"I believe the freeholders will not change the name," said Kuzniak. "If the governor had his way, I think he would." The funny thing is, many people in Iselin, which is part of Woodbridge Township, don't even know the station's full name, Molnar said. And when conductors announce the station on Amtrak trains passing through, Kuzniak said, "It's Metropark station, Iselin." ALBANY, N.Y. Opponents of corporal punishment appear to have little chance of expelling the practice from New York public schools in the near future. Despite the prodding of the New York State Congress of Parents and Teachers and other groups, neither the legislature nor the state Board of Regents plans a statewide prohibition against spanking students.

Rebuffed by lawmakers, opponents of corporal punishment turned to the regents the last word in state educational policy and asked them to pass a regulation barring teachers from using physical force to discipline students. Most of the regents favor banning corporal punishment, but they will not adopt a regulation to that effect because legal counsel has said to do so would conflict with state law.
