Rail Unions Split Over Work Rules Amid Wage Talks
Crotty heads a new union coalition as Ed. S. Miller and Paul Hall back the move. Five unions, representing about 80 percent of U S rail workers, quit the old Railway Labor Executives Association over a proposed cross jurisdiction work rule. The plan aimed to let members from all four unions perform limited work across borders, a change critics say spurs controversy rather than wage concerns. O'Brien suggested removing the contentious rule to preserve the wage package, while Hiltz argued the two-year 18 percent deal hinged on promised savings from the rule changes.

Mine Safety Bill Passed Amid Threats
The House approved a stiff coal mine safety bill by 333 to 12 after rejecting an effort to strip a new compensation program for miners disabled by lung disease. Cost estimates to run the program ranged from 150 to 385 million dollars annually, with a rough republican claim of 40 to 60 million. The vote reflected threats of a possible nationwide mine shutdown if the provision was removed, though the administration voiced veto concerns. Senate action pending.
