Six former senior partners of Salomon Brothers, the investment firm acquired last year by the Phibro Corporation, will soon be able to begin cashing in $60 million or more in securities that they received as a result of the merger, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. John H. Gutfreund, Salomon's former managing partner and now co-chairman of the merged company, would receive the most - more than $13 million. The former partners, who are now directors of the company, renamed Phibro-Salomon Inc. in May, include Henry Kaufman, the well-known economist and expert on interest rates, as well as Mr. Gutfreund. In August 1981, when the two companies announced the merger, the transaction was valued at $550 million.

Congress cleared the way today for a quick end to the nation's crippling railroad strike as the House voted, 383 to 17, to follow the Senate in directing 26,000 locomotive engineers to accept a new contract and return to work. President Reagan then signed the emergency legislation, which he had requested. Striking union officials said they were complying by ordering the engineers back to work. But both union and rail spokesmen cautioned that on some routes it could take 12 or even 24 hours to get all services restored.

The Justice Department said yesterday that it intended to parole 49 illegal Haitian aliens who had been detained in Brooklyn for from nine to 13 months while their applications for legal admission into the United States were pending. The 49 had not been covered by the ruling of a Federal court in Miami in June that called for parole of 1,774 other illegal Haitian refugees being held elsewhere in the United States and in Puerto Rico. Their continued detention had provoked charges of unfairness by their attorneys and other critics of the continued detention, but immigration officials had said that they were enforcing the law and that release of the 49 was not required by any court ruling. Yesterday, however, a spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, a branch of the Justice Department, said the service had concluded, ''for humanitarian reasons and in order to avoid any appearance of unfairness, that all Haitians in detention on the date of the court order'' issued in Miami by Judge Eugene Spellman ''should be treated similarly.''

Allied and Bendix have agreed to merge, making Allied the fourth entrant in one of the most complex takeover battles ever. If Allied buys Bendix, it will be taking over a company that has just bought control of Martin Marietta. The Bendix move has drawn a counterbid by Marietta, which began its purchase of Bendix shares early today, though it fell well short of control. (Page A1.) A Federal judge had authorized Marietta to proceed with its purchase. (D4.) Six former senior partners of Salomon brothers can soon start cashing in $60 million in securities that they received as a result of the investment firm's merger with Phibro, according to data filed with the S.E.C.
