The Supreme Court said it would referee a railroad industry dispute affecting the ability of railroads to sell their lines and reduce work forces. The court said it would hear a case involving the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Co. in Pennsylvania and Ohio to resolve issues troubling railroads and their unions nationwide. At issue is the authority of the ICC to exempt railroads from collective bargaining when they sell rail lines. A key question involves the authority of federal courts to block strikes in such cases.
