These leaders refuse to accept a 15% cents an hour |

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 public interest to uphold the spirit and intent of the Railway Labor Act. In contrast, this small group of railroad union leaders are attempting to flout the intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act, and dictate their own terms. They have dictated a paralyzing railroad strike. You will be the victim!

How long wil the Ametiean public stand fof the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive use of the right to strike and the disregard of the obligation to provide transportation? How long -can the American people permit a few dictatorial - union leaders to defy the processes provided for peaceful

settlement of disputes?

Force seldom produces settlements that are either fair lasting. Moreover, a point is often reached when interests must be héld subordinate to the grea fare. That is why the railroads have a Board recommendations. That is also why these three unions should reconsider their decision to paralyzing strike. :

Hére is a comparison of average * annual earnings of engineers and firemen for 1939 (pre-war) and 1947. Also shown is what 1947 earnings would have been if the 15% cents per hour increase, offered by the railroads and rejected by the union leaders, had been in effect throughout the entire year 1947.
