Main LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep resenting less than one-tenth of all railroad employees, have called a railroad strike that would paralyze the nation. These leaders refuse to accept a 15*A cents an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem ber 1, 1947. This increase was recommended by an impartial Emergency Board appointed by President Truman. This increase of 15% cents already has been accepted by the 19 other railroad unions. But the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Ldcomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Switchmen’s Union of North America won’t accept what more than 90% of all railroad employes have accepted. They have called a strike to get more! Unions refuse rules discussion Certain rules changes demanded by these union leaders—which would increase wages still further were recommended by the Board. But the union leaders want more— they demand that the railroads put into effect ALL the changes they asked for, including those the Board felt should be denied. On top of this, they insist that certain rules changes proposed by the railroads be with drawn—in spite of the fact that the Board recommended them! These union leaders have refused to negotiate except upon these arbitrary terms. Greater wage increase not justified Engineers and firemen are among the high est paid of all employes in America, as figures in the box show. This strike threat doesn’t justify giving a greater increase than other railroad workers received. Emergency Boards are a means provided est to avoid strikes.

Who’s to blame? Although they deplored so large an extra cost burden, the railroads accepted the report of the Board because they felt it was in the pub lic interest to uphold the spirit and intent of the Railway Labor Act. Here is a comparison of average annual earnings or engineers and fireman for 1939 (pre-war) and 1947. Also shown is what 1947 earnings would have been if the 15^ cents per hour increase, of fered by the railroads and rejected by the union leaders, had been in effect through out the entire year 1947.
