of smooth flying, all in daylight
That evening they took delivery
of a new car. While in Detroit
the O'Harra's saw some fine base
ball between the Detroit Tigers
and the Philadelphia A's. They
toured the Hudson motor plant
and visited the Ford Memorial
and Green Village museum. They
drove into Canada via the Windsor-Detroit
tunnel under the De
troit river. Ori their return trip
they drove across the continent
through Salt Lake, in to Nevada,
and south to Arizona. All the
agricultural methods and crops
were of great interest, especially
the erosion practices through the
northern states where contour
strip farming is widely practiced.
The O'Harra's thought the best

AGAINST THE PUBLIC AND INDUSTRY AND AGRICULTURE SERVED BY FIVE WESTERN RAILROADS
President Truman's EMERGENCY BOARD recommends a 40-hour week and a pay increase
of 18 cents an hour, or $1.44 a-day for switchmen represented by the Switchmen's Union
of North America.
KstwithsteRding SU tremendous increase in their
expenses involved, the
Railroads' answer to Bsard is . .
Union leaders' answer to Board is.. L
l
i j
In face of Board findings to the contrary, union leaders insist on
48 hours pay for 40 hours work. This would be an average in
crease of 31 cents an hour, or $2.48 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 undo 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 Gndings of an Emergency
Board another case of 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!
In its report on this case, the Board
made this statement:
"The railroad Industry, the Board be
lieves, needs above all else a period of
relative- stability to oduit and adapt Itself
to present competitive post-war condi
tions." Despite this warning, the leaders of the
Switchmen's Union are upsetting the
apple-cart forcing a completely unjusti
fied strike against everybody who uses the
railroads.

The Answer to a Raw Attempt

the railroads every day, there can be only
one answer to this outrageous and dicta
torial action by the leaders of the Switch
men's Union. And that answer is "NO I'
