Bicentennial fire hydrants It took a while, but the Fire department in Albany, N.Y. has at last tired of the bicentennial, and called for the abolishment of bicenten- nial fire hydrants. The problem is fire fighters can't tell if they're pulling up to a hydrant or a cutesy minute man statue. To eliviate con- fusion, the department wants the hydrants re-ainted according to a color code based on water availability: red for less than 500 gallons per minute, orange for 500 to 1000, and green for 1000 plus.

" WASHINGTON (AP) - Freight and commuter rail service was halted at least temporarily across most of the country yesterday as clerks on strike against a Virginia-based railroad ex- panded their picketing to 43 other lines. The striking Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks said that early mor- ning picketing had shut down or cur- tailed operations at two-thirds of the nation's majorhrailroads, affecting every part of the nation except the heavily-traveled Northeast corridor. Service thqre was reported normal. According to union estimates, more than 330,000 of the nation's half-million railroad workers honored picket lines and stayed off the job, leaving more than 100,000 morning commuteks stranded and idling millions of tons of freight. THE HARDEST hit area of the coun- try appeared to be around Chicago, where picketing of passenger lines for- ced up to 100,000 commuters to find other means of getting to work. The union said the picketing was aimed at companies that had been len- ding equipment and personnel to the strikebound Norfolk & Western Railway, based in Roanoke, Va. Union President Fred Kroll said in a statement that the picketing was inten- ded to "bring increasing pressure" on the N&W to settle a contract dispute with the union, which struck the railroad on July 10. Industry lawyers, contending the picketing was illegal, went to federal courts wherever there were pickets. They obtained temporary injunctions in several locations ordering the picketing to stop. CHIEF JUSTICE Warren Burger refused yesterday to block picketing over financial aid, clearing the way for the union to escalate its strike to 73 railroads. Burger's decision, while not a final ruling in the dispute, was a victory for the union, which has sought to pressure Sother railroads that have been con- tributing a total of $800,000 a day to the N&W under a mutual aid pact.
