Expert on Railway Labor Relations Testifies in Amarillo Case
Daniel P. Loomis of Winnetka Illinois, chair of the Association of Western Railways since 1948, testified in 108th District Court as part of a hearing on whether a temporary injunction against the Santa Fe Railway and 16 unions should become permanent. He described union shop negotiations after 1951 amendments to the Railway Labor Act and said Washington union officials in 1952 vowed to pursue union shop and would strike if needed. The injunction, sought by 13 Amarillo Santa Fe employees, bars signing a union shop agreement. Loomis spoke for both plaintiffs and the railroad during the fifth day of testimony.
