The time isn't ripe, President Walter Tuohy insists, for a C&O-B&O-NYC union. He thinks a C&O-B&O alliance would be "a practical step leading to realistic consideration of three-way affiliation." Chiefs of the three roads are scheduled to get together Aug. 15.

The Action Page-How unions can get on the RR team p.38
