Railroads face fireman absence criticized as hoax
Gilbert calls the joint union management report on eliminating firemen a vicious hoax. The National Joint Board dated January 5 found virtually no adverse effects, though railroads paid about 35 million dollars in severance. The board lacked firemen’s union representation, while engineers and firemen unions have clashed over membership since the diesel engine changes. Passenger trains were not affected.
