President Roosevelt's Board said- President Truman's Board said r I l Still the leaders of the Railroad Firemen's Union say fo) U LTQUU n rnrni u nrm n uvjv o This ridiculous strike is an affront to every citizen of the nation It's not for more money. It's not because of hours. It's only for soft feather-bedding spots for additional unneces sary firemen to go along in diesel locomotives just for the ride. A leading liberal newspaper calls the demands of the union leaders horse-feathers ! The reckless leaders of the firemen's union want to force down the throats of the railroads and the public a ridic ulous "make-work" proposal which has been twice ruled out by Presidential Fact Finding Boards duly appointed under the provisions of the Railway Labor Act. This demand of union leaders for additional and unnecessary firemen to ride in diesel locomotives was rejected after months of hearings by a Board appointed by President Roosevelt in 1943. It was again rejected in 1949 by a Board appointed by President Truman. Recent meetings with the National Mediation Board have brought no change in the attitude of the union dictators. Union Leaders Defy Intent of Law The union leaders helped write the Railway Labor Act. Yet in an attempt to jam through this scheme of pure "feather-bedding" by leading the mem bers of their union out on strike and threatening paralysis to large areas of the nation, they are defying the spirit and intent of the very law which they helped to create. This strike is not for higher wages. It is a strike to force the railroads to employ many more thousands of fire men who are not needed! It would be indefensible waste. The railroads have refused to place this additional and unnecessary burden on the public. But more important than any other consideration, is the action of these few irresponsible union leaders in seek ing to force a crippling strike upon the This strike is one of the silliest strikes in history I What Are these reckless union leaders trying to do? They seek to cause thou sands of their members to strike, and throw hundreds of thousands of other employes on and off the railroads out of employment, with loss of pay to them and their families, plus a sever, blow to industry and the citizens of the nation. What's th strlk all about t If th. union has its way what happens? Th. present members of the union won't get one cent more pay. They will merely have been assessed for a costly and in defensible drive in an attempt to provide more d ues-pay ing members for the union by creating "feather-bedding" jobs for additional and unnecessary firemen. This is certainly on. ot the silliest strikes in history 1 nation for their own selfish purposes. There is no other possible answer to such a demand but "No!" The railroads in making such a reply believe they have the whole-hearted support of the people in whose interest they are willing to fight this out, de spite the loss and inconvenience that all will suffer. It is time to put an end to such un American demands.
