Railroad Work Rules Dispute Faces Mullens Area Loss

About 100 railroad jobs could disappear in Mullens if Presidential Railroad Commission recommendations are followed officials from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen said at a Mullens Grade School meeting. The BLF&E launched its national program to explain the issues as the commission formed in 1960 to study railroading after carrier and labor reports. Kennedy did not endorse adoption of the report, officials said noting it is the first under his administration to lack his recommendation. Government studies estimate the job loss would ripple into $52,300 in worker taxes and extensive cuts in spending across health tobacco household items furniture clothing transport medical care beauty aids recreation charity and insurance.
