On June 15, 1950, an Emergency Board appointed by the President under the terms of the Railway Labor A ct—an Act largely fat tiered 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 ployes- more than 90% o f the total o f all workers. They are represented by 20 o f the 23 standard railroad unions. Less Than 10% Refuse But three unions —with about 130,000 men, or less than 10^5 o f the total —have refused to accept, even after montha o f negotiation*. These three unions are the Brotherhood o f Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood o f Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order o f Railway Conductors. These are three o f the so- called "operating” unions. Already the highest paid men in the industry, their leaders demand still further advantages over ol her workers. In all, there are about 270,000operating employes. But not all o f them, by any means, are represented by BLE, BI.K&E, or ORC. As a matter o f fact, lea* than half—132,000 to be exact —are in these three union*. M ore than h alf—about 140,0tX)—are in other union*, principally the Brotherhood o f Railroad Trainmen. What make* the whole situation so hard to understand is that these 140,000 op erating employes are working under wage* and rule* which the leaders o f the other 130,000 say they cannot agree to. What Do the Railroads Offer? They offer these three unions the samo 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 brotherhood* sought to repudiate this agreement. But on Slay 25, 1961, the Brut her hood o f Railroad Trainmen signed a complete agreement carrying out the principles o f the Memorandum Agreement o f December 21. They have been working under this agreement since May 25. What About Wages? Under the terms o f 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 increaae o f 19H cents an hour ($1.56 per day). Large sums o f retroactive pay have already accrued and if the agree ment is carried out, will be paid promptly. What About “ Coat of IJving” Increases? The White House Agreement includes an "escalator” clause under which wage* will be geared to changes in the Government’s cost-of-living index. T w o such increases — April and July, 1951 — havealready been paid to the 90% o f railroad employes cov ered by signed agreements. What About the 40-Hour Week? The White House Agreement calls for the establishment o f 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. I f the parties do not agree on the auestion o f availability o f manpower, the White House Agreement provides arbitra tion by a referee appointed by the President. What Else Do the I n ion Leaders Demand? The continued quibbling o f the leaders o f the three unions has to do principally with IA S T |* n S o uth l a t r i a n wistirn rules changes, which have already been agreed to by the Brotherhood o f Railroad Trainmen. O f these, the principal one seem* 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 maintaining a situation where they can arbitrarily stop a railroad from establishing such inter divisional run*. The carriers propo- > that if a railroad wishes to set up an inter divisional run, the railroad ana the unions should try to agree on such run and the conditions which should surround 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 B R T 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 o f BLE, BLF&E, and ORC stop their quibbling and take action to make the railroad labor picture 100*15 complete. Certainly today's eco nomic and international situation <-«11« 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.
