The midnight shift of work ers who were threatened with firings reported to their jobs on schedule with no problems, offi cials of the nation’s oldest transit system said. All was quiet along the line, except one station was spray- painted by vandals, police said. There were no arrests. The Massachusetts Bay Transporation Authority transit system was expected to get back in operation at its usual starting time today from the strike Fri day over a dispute about part- time drivers, officials said. “Those scheduled have come in,” said MBTA police Sgt. Peter Shaughnessy. “There doesn’t seem to be any unusual absen teeism. Everything’s quiet.” Late Friday Gov. Edward J. King called in about 120 Guard military police to watch the key points in the system that services Boston and 78 surrounding communities. King instructed MBTA offi cials to seek $1 million in dam ages for the walk-out staged by more than 3,000 members of the Boston Carmen’s Union. Union leaders, who said they had not authorized the walkout, instructed the strikers to put the system back in gear “first thing" today after a judge late Friday sentenced three union officials to jail and King threatened to fire the strikers. The high-ranking union offi cials found in contempt of court were then released. Despite the union’s agree ment to return to work, King ordered MBTA officials to pro ceed with disciplinary action that could include dismissals of employees who participated in the strike. Just before the morning rush hour the transit workers walked off their jobs halting service on all trolley and bus lines and caus ing massive miles-long traffic jams on expressways and secon dary roads. The traffic situation wasi| better in the afternoon Mayor Kevin H. Whitecalledj all businesses to release employees on a staggered' dule to ease the homeboui crunch. Gov.
