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.
