Brotherhood Row Taken to Court
A dispute over seniority rights between Chesapeake and Ohio locomotive engineers led to a federal suit in which P. O. Malone and about 146 engineers seek an injunction against Alleghany district engineers to stop operating trains on Piney Creek and Loup Creek branches in Fayette and Raleigh counties. The case alleges a conspiracy to coerce the railway and break union compacts, with the Kee River and Alpine districts defined and the New River engineers claiming misassigned work. A separate suit by Monrants Chemical Works and Rubber Service Laboratories members seeks an injunction and accounting over alleged misappropriation of secret processes by Kavaleo Products officials and former Rubber Service researchers.
