Feather-bedding scheme of Firemen's Union to put an additional
fireman on dlesel locomotives has been
(ID
IfiJ
Hlffii lli
Fact Finding Boards appointed by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman
have said these demands were "devoid of merit" and they were
Mi l me
Now the Firemen's leaders seek to paralyze railroad transportation
to compel the railroads to employ a wholly unnecessary additional
fireman to ride on diesel locomotives. This scheme is plain
P
Lb o
fflIK
ill
Leaders of the Firemen's union have
called a nationwide strike starting with
four great railroads on April 26. These
railroads are the New York Central, Penn
sylvania, Santa Fe, and Southern.
The union claim that a second fireman
is needed on grounds of safety is sheer
hypocrisy. Safety has been dragged into
this dispute only in an unsuccessful effort
to give a cloak of respectability to vicious
feather-bedding demands.
After a careful study of the first de
mands of this union, a Presidential Fact
Finding Board on May 21, 1943, reported
to President Roosevelt that there was no
need for an extra fireman on diesel
locomotives.
Again, on September 19, 1949, after a
second hearing on the union leaders' de
mands, a second Board reported to Presi
dent Truman that: "there presently exists
no need for an additional fireman . . , upon
either the ground of safety or that of
efficiency and economy of operation."
Safety Record of Diesels Is
Outstandingly Good
Although the railroads accepted the Board
findings, the union leaders have brazenly
rejected them.
They rep -.t that an extra fireman
i needed for ' aiety ' reasons. Here's
what the Board had to say on that point:
"The safety and on-time perform
ance of diesel electric locomotives
operated under current rules have
been notably good .
"Upon careful analysis of the data
submitted on safety, we have con
cluded that no valid reasons have
been shown as a support for the
Brotherhood proposal under which a
fireman would be required to be at all
times continuously In the cab of road
diesels. The proposal must be re
jected." The real reason behind these demands is
that the union leaders are trying to make
jobs where there is no work. In other
words, a plain case of "feather-bedding."
The railroads have no intention of yield
ing to these wasteful make-work demands.
"The Safety Record of Diesels
is Outstandingly Good..."
Pruidintial Fact Findino Board Report
Rend these excerpts from official reports
of Presidential Fact Finding Boards:
"The safety record of Diesels is out
standingly good, and it follows that
th safety rules now applicable have
produced good results."
"The safety and on-time performance
of Diaael-electric locomotives operated
under current rules indicate that
Diesel-electric operation has been safer
than steam locomotive operation . ."
Remember) ThM srs not stattmanti of
th. railroads. They are Just a few of the
many similar conctusionsrtached by Presi
dent Truman's Fact Finding Board which
spent months InT.stigatlng th. claims of
th. union leaders.
