It was hailed by union leaders as a model
for the settlement of labor disputes.

he leaders
T
With all of the available methods for the
interpretation of contracts, there is no
need for a strike or even a threat of a
strike, but the leaders of these railroad
unions have ignored the ordinary pro
cedures established by law and insist upon
imposing their own interpretations of their
contracts by means of a strike.
The wheels have stopped rolling on the
Missouri Pacific. They may stop rolling
on other railroads at any time. Recently
the Wabash Railroad was forced to dis
continue operation for several days under
similar circumstances.
What are These Strikes About?
These strikes and strike threats are not
about wage rates or hours. They result
from disputes over the meaning of exist
ing contracts. They cover claims for a full
day’s pay for less than a day’s work, or for
payments for services performed by others
who were fully paid for the work done.
“... it is with a deep sense of regret that we
are obliged to report the failure of our mis
sion. it seems inconceivable to us that a
coercive strike should occur on one of the
nation’s major transportation systems, with
all of the losses and hardships that would
follow, in view of the fact that the Railway
Labor Act provides an orderly, efficient and
complete remedy for the fair and just set
tlement of the matters in dispute. Griev
ances of the character here under discussion
are so numerous and of such frequent occur
rence on all railroads that the general adop
tion of the policy pursued by the organiza
tions in this case would soon result in the
complete nullification of the Railway Labor
Act. . . .”
Obviously the railroads cannot be run
efficiently or economically if the leaders of
the unions ignore agreements or laws.
Provisions of the Law which
are Disregarded
There are five ways under the Railway
Labor Act to set t ie disputes over the mean
ing of contracts:
1 —Leribion by National Railroad Ad
justment Board.
2—Decision by System Adjustment
Board for the specif c railroad.
3—] )cci.‘ ion by arbitration.
4—-Decision by neutral referee.
5—Decision by courts.
Tie Missouri Pacific Railroad has been
and is entirely willing to have these' dis
putes sett led in accordance with the re-
quirt men is of He Railway I ahcr Act.
Regardless of this fact, Hie union leaders
have shut down that railroad.
Innocent Bystanders Suffer
Losses and Hard: flips
T here are about 5,GOO engineers, firemen,
conductors and trainmen on the Missouri
Pacific. They are known as ’’oiwrating”
employes, and are the most highly paid of
all employes on the nat ion’s railroads, but
their strike action has resulted in the loss
of work to 22,500 other employes of the
Missouri Pacific. In addition, they have
imposed great inconvenience and hard
ship upon the public and tlie communities
served by that railroad.
The Railway Labor Act was designed
to protect the public against just such in
terruptions of commerce.
If these men will not comply with the provisions
of the law for the settlement of such disputes,
then all thinking Americans must face the ques
tion, “What is the next step?*
