L eaders or 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. Tlie union claim that a second fireman is needed on grounds of safety is sheer hvp-H-risy. Safety has been dragged into this dispute only m 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 Dieeels is Outstandingly Good Although the railroads accepted the ftoard findings, the union leaden have brasenly rejected them They represent that an extra fireman is needed for safety” rea­ sons. Here’s what the Board had to say on that point: "The safety and on-time performance of diesel electric locomotives operated under current rules have been notably good ... “Upon careful analysis of the data sub­ mitted on safety, we have concluded that no valid reasons have been shown as a support for the Brotherhood pro­ posal under which a fireman would be required to be at all times continuously in the cab of road diesels. The proposal must be rejected.” The renf 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-I•cdding." The railroads have no intention of yield­ ing to these wasteful make-work demand«. Th« Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good .. P sbsidsntial F act F inding B oard R bport Read these excerpts from official reports of Presidential Fact Finding Board»: The safety record of Diesels is out­ standingly good, and it follows that the safety rule» now applicable have produced good results.’’ The safety and on tune performance of Diesel-electric locomotives operated under current rules indicate that Diesel electric operation has been safer than steam locomotive operation ...” Remember* These are not statements of the railroads. They are just a few of ths many similar conclusions reached by Preal- dent Truman's Fact Finding Board which spent months Investigating the claims of the union leaders.
