Paid Political Advertising L eaders of the Firemen’s union have called a nationwide strike starting with four great railroads on April 26. These railroads are the New Aork Central. Penn sylvania. Santa Fe, and Southern. The union claim that a second fireman Is needed on grounds of safety is sheer hypocrisy. Safety has lieen dragged into this dispute only in an unsuccessful effort to give a cloak of respectability to vicious feather-bedding demands. After a careful study of the first de mands of this union, a Presidential Fact Finding Board on May 21, 1943, reported to President Roosevelt that there was no need for an extra fireman on diesel locomotives. Again, on September 19. 1949. after a second hearing on the union leaders' de mands, a second Board reported to Presi dent Truman that: ’’there presently exists no need for an additional fireman .. . upon either the ground of safety or that of efficiency and economy of operation.” Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good Although the railroads accepted the Board findings, the union leaders have brazenly rejected them. They represent that an extra fireman is needed for ’’safety” rea sons. Here’s what the Board had to say on that point: “The safety and on-time performance of diesel electric locomotives operated under current rules have been notably good . . . “I pon careful analysis of the data sub mitted on safety, we have concluded that no valid reasons have been shown as a support for the Brotherhood pro posal under which a fireman would be required to be at all times continuously in the cab of road diesels. The proposal must be rejected.” The real reason behind these demands is that the union leaders are trying to make jobs where there is no work. In other words, a plain case of ’’feather-bedding.” The railroads have no intention of yield ing to these wasteful make-work demands. EASTIK m "The Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good.. P residential F act F inding B oard R eport Read these excerpts from official reports of Presidential Fact Finding Boards: ’’The safety record of Diesels is out standingly good, and it follows that the safety rules now applicable have produced good results.” "The safety and on-time performance of Diesel-electric locomotives operated under current rules indicate that Diesel-electric operation has been safer than steam locomotive operation . . Remember! These are not statements of the railroads. They are just a few of the many similar conclusions reached by Presi dent Truman’s Fact Finding Board which spent months investigating the claims of the union leaders.
