Main Phone 4871 Union leaders’ answer to Board is . • In face of Board findings to the contrary, union leaders insist on 4 8 hours pay for 4 0 hours work. This would be an average in crease of 31 cents an hour, or $ 2 .4 8 a day. So Union leaders have called a completely unjustified strike on 5 Western rail roads, effective June 25 . On June 15, an Emergency Board ap pointed by President Truman under the terms of the Railway Labor Act recom mended the railroads grant switchmen a 40-hour week and a wage increase of 18 cents an hour, or $1.44 for an 8-hour day. Despite the added financial burden in volved, the railroads are ready to accept these recommendations, as they have al ways accepted Emergency Board recom mendations on national issues. But the leaders of the Switchmen’s Union refuse to accept! They demand an average increase of 31 cents an hour or $2.48 a day —although their present earn ings are substantially higher than those of workers in other industries! Board Says Demands Unjustified In its report, the Board declared this de mand unjustified by all the evidence pre sented. It also pointed out that it would give the switchmen an unfair pay advan tage over other groups of railroad em ployes, and would add too great a burden to railroad costs. Here is another case of a railroad union flouting the findings of an Emergency Board—another case o f calling a crippling strike in an outrageous and reckless at tempt to force demands which the Board clearly labels as unjustified! Leaders of the Switchmen’s Union are calling this strike in defiance of the Board —in defiance of the facts—and at the ex pense of the public!

Despite this warning, the leaders of the S w itc h m e n ’s U nion are u p settin g the apple-cart —forcing a completely unjusti fied strike against everybody who uses the railroads.
