CHICAGO A TTORNEYS WITHDRA W STRIKE-ENDING PACT
Firefighters locked out of work
CHICAGO (AP) - City attorneys
returned to court yesterday and with-
drew from a strike-ending agreement
ith firefighters, after the city locked
out the strikers as they tried to return to
work. City attorneys contended the
firemen had continued picketing in
violation of the pact.
The city also asked Circuit Judge
John Hechinger to proceed with con:
tempt citations against the Chicago
Fire Fighters Union, its president
Frank MuscAre and other union
fleaders.
Muscare, had ordered the 4,350
firefighters in the nation's second-
largest city backto work at 11 a.m. on
the eighth day of their walkout, but
strikers were not allowed into their
stations.
LATER THE city informed the
strikers to report to district headquar-
ters to register and be assigned to
firehouses.
The city set 3 p.m. as the new time for
reporting back to work. However, city
ttorneys went to court shortly after the
ew deadline and said it wanted to
withdraw from, Wednesday's
agreement.
Union attorney Dale Berry said
Hechinger ordered pickets removed
yesterday morning but that it took time
to implement the order because of the
city's size.
Hechinger, obviously upset, told
Berry: "It's too late. You have toyed
with this court sufficiently."
THE JUDGE then ordered a hearing
on the contempt citations for yesterday
evening.
city was upset because union leaders
instructed men to report to their
regular fire houses, instead of following
mimeographed assignment sheets
issued by the city.
Muscare said he ordered strikers
back to their regular stations because it
was the quickest way to end the
'We could have manned every firehouse in the city
in ten ninutes. But the city implemented this big
plan. They didn't know what they were doing.'

Chicago Fire Fighters
Union President
were doing.
" HAVE to represent the firefighters
and I can't afford to blow my top,"
Muscare added. "But they
(firefighters) will, if this thing isn't set-
tled today."I
Hechinger instructed the union to
follow the city's assignment sheets and
proceed with the back-to-work
agreement which was to be executed
before negotiations resumed.
The judge said talks would start
"when every company is mannedunder
the conditions set down by the fire
department, not the union."
The back-to-work agreement called
for amnesty for strikers, round-the-
clock negotiations, and a full contract
settlement within 24 hours.
Negotiations for the firefighters' first
written contract, to replace a han-
dshake agreement, had been going on
for weeks. However they broke down
Feb. 13 over a no-strike clause and
firefighters walked out the next mor-
ning.
Since then, there had been off-and-on
again efforts to get talks moving. Until
Wednesday's breakthrough, which
came under the auspices of Hechinger,
the positions of both sides appeared to
be hardening.

The pact hammered out Wednesday
night with Hechinjer called for the
firefighters to return to their jobs at 11,
a.m. yesterday and round-the-clock
negotiations to resume at that hour.
Sherman Carmell, Chicago
Federation of Labor attorney, said the
walkout. He said the union had not been
informed that the city was drawing up
assignment sheets.
"We could have manned every fire
house in the city in 10 minutes. But the

months who helped Tilman write the
plan.
Former Ann Arbor Mayor Albert
Wheeler, representing the National
Association for the' Advancement of
Colored People, asked Council to table
the plan during the public comments
portion of the meeting: He said after-
wards that he "commended" the city
for developing an energy plan, but said
"we didnI know what the City Council
was planning to do."
He said that while the resolution
made reference to clear goals of con-
servation, it did not state precisely
what action the city would take to
achieve those goals in the final portion
of the resolution.
Wheeler asked if the lack of precision
in the "action" part of the document
implied "that the staff in City Hall
would go ahead and implement the stuff
in (the energy plan)."
He said the entire energy package, if
implemented, would mean "the sub-
stantial rezoning of large parts of Ann,
Arbor" and forcing underprivileged
persons or those on fixed incomes to
spend money on insulation and other
energy measures in the home.
City Administrator Terry Sprenkel
said after last night's meeting that
Council would probably hold another
working session and public hearing on
the plan before voting on it again.
In 'other business last night, City At-
torney Bruce Laidlaw told Council that
the lawsuit brought against the city by
former City Clerk Jerome Weiss, who
claims he was fired unjustly from his
job in City Hall in May, 1978, would go
to trial March 6.
Laidlaw also told Council that the city
had settled out of court with Sciraetta
Construction Co. of Detroit for $45,000.
The city cancelled its contract with
Scaraetta to improve one of the city's
parks in fall 1977 because of the shoddy
workmanship and lack of adherence to
affirmative action hiring guidelines.
