Emergency Board
Rejects Railroad
\\ orkers Demand
WASHINGTON. </P)—A Presi
dential emergency board today re
jected a union demand that rail
roads assign a second fireman on
diesel locomotives.
Saying there is no need for an
extra fireman on any type of die
sel locomotive now in use. the
board turned down the request
made by the brotherhood of loco
motive firemen and enginemen.
The board also rejected union
demands for:
1. Fireman on rail motor cars;
and
2. Equalization of pay for fire
men on oilburning and electric lo
comotives with pay scales on coal
burning and diesel locomotives.
Recently the same board had
denied a plea of the brotherhood
of locomotive engineers for a sec
ond engineer on diesels.
The firemen’s union had con
tended an extra fireman on diesels
was needed from a safety stand
point and also because the more
efficient diesel engines were elim
inating jobs of firemen.

' Strike; Coal Mines
Shut Down
(Continued from Page One)
000 miners joining the stoppage,
j Pensylvania, No. 2 on the pro
ducing parade, saw miners refus
ing to show up at pits across the
state. The western Pennsylvania
coal operators association said no
miners were working in the rich
bituminous belt employing 56,000.
All big mines in central Pennsyl
vania, employing 45,000 also were
down.
Only a few of eastern Pennsyl
vania’s 80,000 hard coal miners
showed up for work. They sat
around and talked for a while and
they went home. The great major- i
ity never reached the mines. Many !
industry leaders had expected the
hard coal mines to continue work- ‘
ing since the operators have con- i
tinued royalty payments. The an
thracite pension fund is adminis- 1
tered separately from the bitum
inous fund.
The United States Steel corpora
tion said all its coal mining oper
ations in Pennsylvania, West Vir
ginia and Kentucky were closed
kith 16,000 men idle.
