gers and plunged the city into
chaos.
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

jams on expressways and secon

LOS ANGELES — Dr. Tho

head of the nation’s second
largest coroner’s of fice to medic
al specialist may lead to his being
fired and a possible criminal in
vestigation, county officials say.
Noguchi was removed from
his post T hursday by the Board
of Supervisors over charges that
his mismanagement had
plunged the department — the
model for TV’s “Quincy” series
— into chaos.
County officials met with
members of the district attor
ney’s office Friday to discuss a
continuing investigation into
Noguchi and Supervisor Mike
Antonovich said the board is still
considering further action, in
cluding firing Noguchi if new
evidence warrants it.
Gil Garcetti of the district
attorney’s office said a criminal
investigation has not been
openen but: “We did and still do
leave the door open for a crimin
al investigation if the facts war
rant it.”

frey Isaac, said any talk
minal charges is “a scare ta(
with no basis in fact.

Such a probe could involve
charges of corruption such as re

possible charge involves a possi
