Louisville and Nashville Railroad and AFL non operating unions push for arbitration but dispute over which differences to include. The health and welfare program stands as the main hurdle, while violence and derailments intensify in 14 Southern states. Federal mediators struggle as unions seek paid vacations, holidays, medical benefits, life insurance, premium pay, and free rail passes. The L&N offers a cheaper in-house plan but opposes compulsory deductions, delaying settlement.
