A nd it occurred to me that there’s

it’s a mighty healthy habit.

In contrast, this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to flout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated a paralyzing railroad
Strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the American public stand
for the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
of the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
a few dictatorial union leaders to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that are
either fair or lasting. Moreover, a point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the greater public
welfare. That is why the railroads have ac
cepted the Emergency Board recommenda
tions. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call a paralyzing strike.
Look who gets squeezed !
Union leaders representing less than one-tenth of railroad employes
reject recommendations of President’s Emergency board— refuse to
negotiate except on their own terms— threaten to paralyze nation by strike!

THE leaders of three railroad unions, rep
resenting less than one-tenth of all railroad
employees, have called a railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept a lS ^ cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem
ber 1, 1947 This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase of 15^ cents already has been
accepted by the 19 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmen’s Union of
North America won’t accept what more than
90% of all railroad employes have accepted.
They have called a strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union leaders— which would increase wages
still further — were recommended by the
Board. But the union leaders want more—
they demand that the railroads pat into effect
ALL the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should bfe denied.
On top of this, they Insist that certain rules
rhanges proposed by the railroads be wjth-
drawn—in spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
after hearing evidence for 33 days, made
recommendations based on all the facts in
the case. The railroads have accepted these
recommendations.
Who’s to blame?
Although they deplored so large an extra cost
burden, the railroads accepted the report of
the Board because they felt it was in the pub
lic interest to uphold the spirit and intent of
the Railway Labor Act
Compare these wages with what you make!
Here is a comparison

earnings of engineers
and fireman for 1939
(p r e-w a r ) and 1947.
