Nation Is Facing Another
Railroad Strike Sept. 6
The nation faces another railway
strike threat on Sept. 6, just before La-
bor Day. ironically. This is the expira-
tion date of the 60-day coding off period
emergency provisions of the Railway
Labor Act.
Background music to the dispute is a
familiar tune, the “third jnan” theme—
the question of whether a fireman is
needed in a diesel cab in addition to an
engineer and brakeman. ,
A nationwide rail shutdown may be
averted if the United Transportation
Union accepts a solution just recom-
mended by a presidential emergency
board. Firemen would gradually be
eliminated through attrition by retire-
ment or death, and no new firemen
would be hired. None of the 17,500 fire-
men now on the job would be dismissed
and those holding seniority would have
an opportunity to bid for a new job clas-
sification of fireman-brakeman.
In the meantime Sen, John G. Tower,
R-Tex., has introduced a joint resolution
in Congress to establish a Commission
on Labor Law Reform. Charging that
the Railway Labor Act has proved in-
effective throughout its 45-year history,
he cites the fact that its emergency pro-
visions have been invoked 188 times
since its enactment in 1925. Twice
Congress has had to legislate to end rail
disputes. *
“The transportation industries repre-
sent just one area of concern in labor-
management relations,” says Tower,
adding that “our outmoded labor laws
are a prime contributor to this danger-
ous state of affairs.”
Tower is also author of another major
and controversial labor law reform
measure which would strip the National
Labor Relations Board of Its jurisdiction
in unfair labor practices cases, which
constitute the bulk of the board’s busi-
ness, and restore that jurisdiction to the
federal courts.
The NLRB has long been under attack
for alleged prounion bias, often to the
subjugation of individual workers’
rights.
The fate of Tower’s legislation may
well be determined by the outcome of
current negotiations in the rail dispute.
A settlement would tend to shunt the
drive forUbor law reform onto a siding.
But a strike, fallowed by a possible one
in the automobile industry, could build
up enough pressure to prod Congress
into finally taking an overdue look into
the tangle of labor laws it has written
over the decades.
Murdered Mitrione Was
A Special Kind Of Man
There is a particular tragedy about

the murder of Daniel A. Mitrione, 50 and
father of nine, by terrorists in Uruguay.

For this was a special kind of a man
As police chief in Richmond, Ind., he
was an anient advocate of bringing the
police and the public into closer rela-
tionship. ;~
He was the driving force in setting up
special traffic courts for students. He
was active with baseball Little Leagues
and bicycle and soapbox rodeo* .Hew**
, a member of the boards of directors of
the Child Guidance Clinic, the Public
Health Nursing Association and the
Welfare Council of Wayne County, Indi-
ana. He worked closely with young peo-
ple in safety campaigns. He was active
in the YMCA the community hospital
and in his church.
Since joining the Agency for Interna-
tional Development (AID) in 1960,
Mitrione has pushed this same theme-
that the police in a country are effective
wily when they are friends with, and
close to, the people in the communities
they serve. _____
(In one two-year period, at his urging,
the Brazilian police opened their
doors—as hostsr-to 34,000 youngsters.)”
That is, in his foreign posts, Mitrione
was helping to build that new kind of po*
The other kidnaped American, Claude
L. Fly, 65, is a soil expert, working to
better the agricultural output of Uru-
guay and thus raise the living standards
of its people.
If future Vietnams are to be pre-
vented, then the type at work these two
men have been doing must be carried on
and with increased vigor.
The fact tlat highlights the urgency of
what Mitrione and his associates have
been carrying out is that Uruguay is not
a dictatorship and not a country of op-
pressed people

The Buffalo bank ralaea a

coffin.
The plan «u adopted after
being propo, by Senior Vice
President C. E. ferryman, in a
confidential memorandum to
bank President David J. Laub.
This column has obtained a
copy of the memo It provides a
rare glimpse of the lengths to
which banka will go to preserve
their favbfed position with
public officials.

Berryman adds that he feels
the *9,000 would "more than
cover our needa” for con-
tributions.
'‘Thorn bankers who have
successful programs,” he
says, "all state that it cannot
be done on a voluntary basis
A certain degree of persuasion
, has to occur,"
THE nplQ concede* that
there are “legal problems
Involved" in the contribution
echeme. But It notes soberly
that the bank's earningi
depend heavily on “the level of
our public fubdl."
Reached at bla office,
President Laub acknowledged
that by ''public funds" the
memo meant money deposited
In the bank by government
agencies
Asked what was the
relationship between these
deposits and political con-
tributions, Laub at first said
there waa none. Then he
reluctantly conceded that the
political giving was defen-
sive'Vthat is, an effort to
protect government deposits.

In fiscal 1*70, the Defense
