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?'!
