90 For! 10 Against
Railroad workers are represented by 23 standard
unions. By mutual agreement, 20 of these unions com
prising about 1,200,000 men, or more than 90 are
working under wages and rules agreed to by them and
the railroads. But leaders of three unions with only
about 130,000 men, or less than 10 still refuse, after
more than a year of negotiations, to accept similar
wage and rules agreements. These are even more
favorable than the terms recommended by the Emer
gency Board appointed by the President.

Yeif if certainly seems fo be finally about time that the leaders of the three unions stop their
delaying tactics their quibbling. But the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conductors
continue to refuse. They continue a course of dillying and dallying. It is definitely time to

On June 15, 1950, an Emergency Board
appointed by the President under the
terms of the Railway Labor Act an Act
largely fathered by the unions themselves
made its recommendations on certain
wage and working conditions ("rules" in
railroad language) which had been in dis
pute between employes and the railroads.
More Than 90 of Employes Accept
Since then, terms equal to or better than
the Board recommendations have been
accepted by about 1,200,000 railroad em
ployesmore than 90 of the total of all
workers. They are represented by 20 of
the 23 standard railroad unions.
Less Than 10 Refuse
But three unions with about 130,000
men, or less than 10 of the total have
refused to accept, even after months of
negotiations. These three unions are the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway
Conductors. These are three of the so
called "operating" unions. Already the
highest paid men in the industry, their
leaders demand still further advantages
over other workers.
In all, there are about 270,000 operating
employes. But not all of them, by any
means, are represented by BLE, BLF&E,
Or ORC. As a matter of fact, less than
half 132,000 to be exact are in these
three unions. More than half about
140,000 are in other unions, principally
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
What makes the whole situation so hard
to understand is that these 140,000 op
erating employes are working under wages
and rules which the leaders of the other
130,000 say they cannot agree to.
What Do the Railroads Offer?
They offer these three unions the same
settlement which was contained in a Mem
orandum of Agreement signed at the White
House on December 21, 1950, by four
brotherhoods and the railroads. Later
these brotherhoods sought to repudiate
this agreement. But on May 25, 1951,-the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen signed
a conglete agreement carrying out the
principles of the Memorandum Agreement
of December 2i. They have been working
under this agreement since May 25.
What About Wages?
Under the terms-of the agreement, yard
engineers, firemen and conductors would
now be receiving a wage increase of $.34
an hour ($2.72 a day) and road engineers,
firemen and conductors would now be re
ceiving an increase of 19JS cents an hour
($1.56 per day). Large sums of retroactive
pay have already accrued and if the agree
ment is carried out, will be paid promptly.
What About "Cost of Living" Increases?
The White House Agreement includes an
"escalator" clause under which wages will
be geared to changes in the Government's
cost-of-living index. Two such increases
April and July, 1951 havealready been
paid to the 90 of railroad employes cov
ered by signed agreements.
What About the 40-Hour Week?
The White House Agreement calls for the'
establishment of the 40-hour week in prin
ciple, for employes in yard service. The
employes can have it any time after Jan
uary 1, 1952, provided the manpower sit
uation is such that the railroads can get
enough men to perform the work with
reasonable regularity at straight time
rates. If the parties do not agree on the
question of availability of manpower, the
White House Agreement provides arbitra
tion by areferee appointed by the President.
What Else Do the Union
Leaders Demand?
The continued quibbling of the leaders of
the three unions has to do principally with
rules changes, which have already been
agreed to by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen. Of these, the principal one
seems to be that having to do with so
called "interdivisional service" runs
which take in two or more seniority dis
tricts. ,
The union leaders would bar progress
and efficiency in the industry, and better
service to the public, by mamtaining a
situation where they can arbitrarily stop
a railroad from establishing such inter
divisional runs. The carriers propose that
if a railroad wishes to set up an inter
divisional run, the railroad and the unions
should try to agree on such run and the
conditions which should surrQund its es
tablishment, and if the railroad and the
unions can't agree, the matter will be sub
mitted to arbitration.
But the three union leaders still refuse.
Rules Can Be Arbitrated
The railroads have not only offered these
three unions the same rules agreed to by
the BRT and covered by the White House
Agreement, but have even agreed to sub
mit such rules to arbitration.
The Industry Pattern Is Fixed
With the pattern so firmly established in
the railroad industry, it seems fair to sug
gest that the leaders of BLE, BLF&E,
and ORC stop their quibbling and take
action to make the railroad labor picture
100 complete. Certainly today's eco
nomic and international situation calls for
a united front. And certainly no good rea
son has been advanced why these three
unions should be preferred over all other
railroad employes.
