Switchmen's Union of North America. A separate appeal was made by the brotherhood of locomotive engineers. Disputes over interpretation of the arbitration board's ruling, already have caused both sides to ask the board to meet May 7 to clear; up conflicts. Separation Pay Provided The Association of American Railroads said about 5,500 fire men have less than two years' seniority.

If laid off, all would get severance pay based on length of service. Some 1,200 furloughed firemen hired before Jan. 25, 1962, who have not worked as firemen or engineers since then, could be terminated without severance pay, said the A. A. R.

Some 6,000 firemen with 2 to 10 years' seniority, said the A. A. will keep their jobs until offered comparable ones for which they are, or could become, qualified. Approximately 4,800 irregular firemen Bell Gets i KKS -Liv-''r razwajz-- ri -T 1 A r- -s-. j7T.

Much Still Uncertain The jobs of firemen with 10 years or more seniority win be eliminated by attrition. How many jobs will be eliminated in the two years during which the ruling is force and what win happen after that is un certain. The arbitration award was the first break in the 4 year old rail work rules dispute. The remaining issues were settled last week after a 13-day nego tiating session held under White House auspices.

Those issues involved pay structures, holiday pay, length of runs, and a num ber of other things. They were settled after President Johnson won a 15-day truce on the eve of another threatened nation wide rail strike. Five Years which ended in a mistrial. Four others are still to be tried. Hoffa was among those convicted earlier.

Acquitted on 2 Charges Bell had been indicted on three charges of tampering with jurors in Hoffa's 1962 case and was acquitted on two of the charges. His conviction was on a charge of offering $30,000 to Nathan Bellamy, restaurant owner and admitted lottery operator. Bellamy testified that Bell offered him the money to induce two jurors in the Hoffa trial to vote for acquittal. Bellamy said he did not go thru with the proposal. Bell said he never saw Bellamy until the man testified against him.

The defense, in its motions to set aside the verdict, said the jurors accepted the word of a "continuous lawbreaker." This was a reference to Bellamy's gambling activities. begin eliminating firemen under the provisions of a railroad arbitration board ruling and the Supreme court's refusal to reconsider that they are unneces sary in road freight and yard service. Among the railroad involved are the Illinois Central, Erie-Lackawanna, Pennsylvania, and the New York Central. Ready to Release 60 The Illinois Central will be able to eliminate nearly 600 jobs almost at once. This will result in an annual saving of about $4,200,000 in wages and fringe benefits for the C.

The Illinois Central eventually expects to eliminate 900 jobs, a spokesman said. William White, chairman of the Erie-Lackawanna railroad, said the change may eventually eliminate more than 1,000 "unnecessary and unproductive" jobs costing more than 7 million dollars. This figure win be reduced substantially because of so-called full crew laws in New York, Ohio, and Indiana. Pennsy Affected Full crew laws also will affect the job elimination program on the Pennsylvania railroad, the country's biggest, and the New York Central railroad. A spokesman for the Central said that of the 2,300 firemen on the railroad, only 200 with insufficient service can be eliminated immediately.

An addi tional 250 jobs win be abolished in the next year thru attrition. The Pennsylvania expects to eliminate some 450 firemen at an annual savings of 3 million dollars. Some Figures Incomplete A spokesman for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail road said that of the 156 firemen with low seniority, only 82 are working. The remaining 74 are on the "extra board" awaiting can. Other Chicago based railroads did not have complete figures on job elimination at this time.

Both asked that no more mono? be spent to pay Hoffa legal fees pending a meeting of the team sters' executive board to. take up the question.
