"We're keeping our options open," President Harold C. Crotty of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, one of the three unions, said.
But Crotty made it clear that the other three unions now in a different league would both picket lines set up by members of the fourth union, Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerk.
80 People Gathered for Town Meeting at Kansas Union
BRAC President C. L. Dennis told a news conference Tuesday his members would strike Dec. 11 unless there was an agreement or prospects of a settlement before then.
The four unions struck three major railroads Sept. 15, and they broke the same week. President Nixon later imposed a 60-day cooling off period that ended Dec. 10, the day before the first presidential debate.
majority rejected proposal of relations program
Crotty, president Charles Luna of the White House transportation Union and Vice-President Rick Perry, said that Employees Union issued a statement saying the White House board's proposal for a 37 per cent pay raise over three years "presents a challenge to their negotiation and disposition of this issue."
AAUP Offers Support To Graduate Students
The four unions have demanded wage increases of more than 40 per cent in line with the firm's "transportation pattern" established in their settlements with airline and trucking firms.
Graduate students who teach and do research at the University received the support of the University of Kansas Chapter of the Association for University Professors at their meeting November 11.

Leaders of Student Senate Look Back on Fee Control
Both a resolution endorsing a student fee strike and one calling for a petition campaign to determine student sentiment on the strike will definitely at the Nov. 4 Student Senate meeting.
These probably represented the final attempts, in a long line of controversial proposals, to change the existing fee structure.
From the start, when students were given full control of the allocation of the student activity fee budget, it has proven to be a big challenge. Student Senate to carry out this mandate.
The $12 per student per semester fee brought in $190,647 for the fall, 1970 semester. However, the budget is based on income estimates to the entire year. This estimate stood at $410,850, of which the Senate has allocated all but $6,415.56.
A deficit of about $7,300, because of the fall 70 enrollment falling below estimates, had caused some concern, but David Miller, Student Senate treasurer, said that reserves from past surpluses would cover this deficiency.
The process involved in allocating funds starts with a review, conducted by the Student Senate Auditing and Finance Committee. Participants then visit various campus organizations and activities.
Then the committee makes its recommendations to the Senate which accepts or amends the requests. After the budget is finalized, it is submitted to the chancellor and the Kansas Board of Regents for the final approval.
The Regents have questioned the judgment of the Senate in allocating funds as it did, because some traditional recipients were not allocated amounts equal to residency fees.
are not running. And on the other hand, the senators themselves have questioned their own qualifications for handling their peers' money.
The Regents froze funds at a level no less than expenditures in the previous fiscal period, a move that thwarted an attempt of the Department to athletic admissions subsidies by about $10,000.
When the final budget was submitted to the regents, they made some changes in their budget.
In retaliation, the Senate Executive Committee called for a strike on spring semester fees. However, this move did not receive the support of the entire Senate.
Miller says he expects no trouble from the Milers in the next fiscal period. He blamed this year's problems on the fact that the budget was submitted late, and the cutting of funds for some traditional activities. But he said his correspondence with the Regents indicated that year's budget is submitted on time, they will okay the allocations as presented to them.
But despite all of these difficulties during the first fiscal period that the students have had to deal with the cost of the fees, it now looks as though the system will continue to exist the system for another year.
The Senate also contemplated turning control of the funds over to the student body by considering an optional activity fee
The report was submitted by the Committee on the Economic Status of Assistant Instructors and said it "intended to give active learners a chance to reflect on their (graduate students)' special problems."
clarification, but a unanimous vote was cast in support of a proposal to recognize the use of "I" and "the."
The chapter recommended fee reduction for assistant instructors, teaching assistants and research assistants other than those supported by federal or other outside funds. The chapter also recommended the adjustment of salaries according to the rising cost of living.
Other recommendations were concerned with work hours in relation to salary. University payment of insurance premiums for the Traveller's Insurance Company and graduate student participation in determining their own salaries.
Members discussed the position of the AAUP in relation to the firing of Gary Cox, a former professor of instructor in African studies. In the past the AAUP concerned itself only with academic and not administrative problems of the university, in which made so far concerning her stand on this issue.
Agreement Termed Inflationary
The final order of business concerned the planning of a program for Dec. 1, 6 p.m., at the Kansas Union. At the session, questions raised by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce about tenure and academic freedom were addressed. University, what a professor does with his students' role of graduate teaching assistants on an undergraduate level will be discussed.

UAW, GM Reach Pact; Acceptance of Contract By Workers Indefinite
DETROIT (UP1) - General Motors Corp. and the striking United Auto Workers reached tentative agreement Wednesday on a new three-year contract expected to cost the company about $2 billion and termed inionation by the company's top negotiator.
Details of the new pact, released after a 24-hour bargaining session on the 8th day of the strike against GM, were kept secret. But it is unclear the contract provides for a 51-cent-an-hour increase in the first year, including a 26-cent-an-hour carryover from the previous contract.
It also includes an unlimited cost-of-living allowance, figured annually, and a step-rate retirement program allowing a worker to retire on a $500-month pension after 30 years. The program is the first year of the contract. The retirement are assumed in the year each of the succeeding years of the period. Earl Bramblett, GM's chief negotiator, said, when asked whether the proposed industryinfliation, that they amounted to in a definition, a general definition of inflaction.
UAW President Leonard Woodcock refused to say whether he would recommend acceptance of the contract agreement. His only comment was, "I will work internationally Executive Board and the UAW-GM Council." But Bramblett said Woodcock would recommend that the contract be approved.
The agreement did not mean an immediate end to the walkout which has idied more than 400,000 GM workers and more than 100,000 GMs. The workers had a chilling effect on the nation's economy.
The contract still faced the test of approval by the union's GM Council and then ratification by the union membership at plants across the nation.
A weary Woodcock had hoped to present the package to the 350 local union leaders of the council Wednesday afternoon. But that was postponed until 9:30 a.m. Thursday because of the sheer mechanics of putting the agreement on paper.

Newly elected justice of the peace, Phil Hill, said Wednesday evening he had laid up his own attorney to investigate what Hill called as 'hackish attempt' by the establish-ment to wipe out the office of the justice of the peace and thus refuse his a certificate of election.
"The lawyer is going to look into the law and the constitution himself," Hill said after Douglas County Attorney Dan Young gestured he was asking the state attorney general over a ruling on the legality of cities with a population over 2,000 cheating a justice of the peace.
"I met last night with the other executive justice of the peace, John R. Neshik, KNH political instructor, and he helped me look up some of the duties," Hill said.
Nesbitt said he had been working with it to determine the duties of the office and its activities, but it is not complete, Nesbitt said, the possible justice of the peace office in townships with a population of more than 2,000 had been found in the Kansas State Legislature in March, 1968.

Further effects of this investigation were brought by John Nessitt.
"It's possible that marriages performed by justice of the peace in first and second class cities, say Junction City, are not really legal. And consider the children," he said.
George Kimball, who won the Democrat nomination for Douglas County sheriff because he was unopposed, called the sudden arrest of three deputies justices of the peace "a matter of bindsight."
