Strike (Continued Irom Page 1) strike to force compliance with 20 demands of the highest trib unal under the United States law passed upon in 1345. "Such a strike would work great hardship on the public served by our railroad. Every one of these demands must be grant ed, the brotherhood insists, with the threat of the strike. This at titude is the bar to fair and order ly settlement in the public inter est. Following Is a brief review of what has happened, according to the Southern Pacific president: 1. Officers of the engineers' brotherhood demanded 27 changes in working rules. 2. Because the DroDosed changes were unjustified and In some cases would have created unsare operating conditions and interfered with DromDt handling of traffic contrary to public in terest, Southern Pacific could not grant the demand. 3. Finally, in keeping with pro visions of the railroad labor act, a special emergency board was created by the late President Roosevelt, at the request of the brotherhood, to settle the dispute. 4. The board went into all phases of the controversy and submitted its recommendations to the president, who made the re port public. 5. Southern Pacific accepted the board's recommendations In their entirety although we did not agree by any means with the board on all points. 6. The engineers' brotherhood rejected the report. They subse quently placed 20 of the same 27 issues on a strike ballot. As a re sult the brotherhood has now called a strike unless all of these 20 demands are granted in full and before any of the other de mands on tne strike ballot are considered. Effort to Halt Strike Of Engineers Fails (Continued From Page 1) Intervene in the dispute, was ex pected momentarily to name its members. Truman was asked by Rep. Jack Z. Anderson (R.-Calif.) to "take whatever action is needed" to avert the strike and to turn to Congress if legislation was needed. The strike, Anderson said, threatens to cost the country millions of dollars worth of high ly perishable food commodities. All of this food is urgently need ed for domestic consumption and feeding starving peoples abroad. The California Farm Bureau and Chambers of Commerce at Salinas and Fairfield, speaking in behalf of other organizations and farm groups, also asked that steps be taken to avert the strike. The Brotherhood has said It would give the president's board "full respect," but said the strike would go on as scheduled on the ground that a similar board con sidered the same issues in 1945. The company asserted it offer ed to accept the 1945 board's find ings in their entirety but that the Brotherhood contended the com pany failed to put the board's findings into effect.
