Over twenty years ago, the Congress of the United States passed the Railway Labor Act It was hailed by union leaders as a model for the settlement of labor disputes. or economically if the leaders of the unions ignor agreements or laws. ! Provisions of the Law Which Are Disregarded the Railway Labor the meaning of con- Thb leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, Order of Railway Con ductors, and the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men on the Missouri Pacific Railroad have refused to avail themselves of the peaceful "means pro Tided by this Act for settling their disputes. They insist that they be the sole umpire of their own disputes over the meaning of contracts. There Is No Need For Strikes With all of the available methods for the interpre tation 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 impos ing their own interpretations of their contract by means of a strike. The wheels have stopped rolling on the Mis ouri Pacific They may stop rolling on, other fail roads at any time. Recently the Wabash Railroad was forced to discontinue operation for several days under similar circumstance 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 "existing contracts. They' cover claims for a full day's pay for less than a day's work, or for payments for services per formed by others who were fully paid for the work done. President Truman's Board Condemns Strike There is an established legal method for handling disputes involving existing written contracts just as there is such a method of settling any con tract dispute which you may have in your daily, life. n -st The President of the United States appointed a Fact Finding Board to investigate and adjust the Missouri Pacific dispute. This Board reDorted, in ' part, as follows: M. . . it is witli a deep sense of regret thai we are bGged to report the failure of oar mission. It seems in coacei Table to as that a coerriTc strike should occur on one of the nation's major trans portation systems, with all of the losses and hardships that would follow, in view of the fart that the Railway Labor Act provides ma orderly, efficient and complete remedy for the fair and just settlement of the matters in dispute. Griev ances of the character here under discussion are so numerous and of such frequent occurrence on all railroads that the general adoption of the policy pursued by the organizations in this case would soon result hi the complete nullification of the Railway Labor Art. Obviously the railroads cannot be run efficienth There are five ways under Act to settle disputes over tracts: 1 Decision bv National Railroad Adjustment Board. j 2 Decision by System Adjustment Board for the specific railroad. 3 Decision by arbitration. 4 Decision by neutral referee. 5 Decision by courts. The Missouri Pacific Railroad has been and is entirely willing to have these disputes settled in accordance with the requirements of the Railway Labor Act. Regardless of j this fact, the union leaders have shirt Hnwn that railroad. :;. Innocent Bystanders Suffer Losses and Hardships There are about 5,000 engineers, firemen, conduc tors and trainmen on the Missouri Pacific They are known as "operating" employes, and are the most highly paid of all employes on the nation's railroads, but their stike action has resulted in the loss of work to 22,500 other employes of the Mis souri Pacific In addition, they have imposed great inconvenience and hardship upon the pub lic and the communities served by that railroad. The Railway Labor Ac was designed to pro tect the public against just such interruptions of commerce. i If these men will not comply with the provisions of th law for the settlement of such disputes, then all thinking Americans must face the euestion, "What is the next step?'! 3045 So.
