WHY THE
RAILR
Over twenty years ago, the Congress of the United States passed-the Railway Labor Act. It was hailed by union leaders as a model for the
settlement of labor disputes.
"THE LEADERS of the Brotherhood of LocomoT tive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, Order of Railway Conductors, and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen on the Missouri Pacific Railroad have refused to avail themselves of the peaceful means provided by this Act for settling their disputes. They
insist that they be the sole umpire of their own -
disputes over the meaning of contracts.
There Is No Need For Strikes
With all ot the available methods for the interpretation of contracts, there is no need for a strike or even a threat of a strike, but the leaders
of these railroad unions have ignored the ordi--
pary procedures established by law and insist upon imposing their own interpretations of their ‘contracts by means of a strike. The wheels have stopped rolling on the Missouri Pacific, They may stop rolling on other railroads at any time. Recently the Wabash Rail-
road was forced to discontinue operation for sev-
eral days under similar circumstances.
What Are These Strikes About?
These strikes and strike threats are not about wage rates or hours. They result from disputes over the meaning of existing contracts. They
wn
cover claims for a full day's pay for less than a day's work, or for payments for services performed by others who were fully paid for the work done.
President Truman's Board Condemns Strike
There is an established legal method for handling disputes involving existing written contracts— just as there is such a method of settling any contract dispute which vou may have in your daily life The President of the United States appointed a Fact Finding Board to investigate and adjust the Missouri Pacific dispute. This Board reported, in part, as follows:
“7% .ifis with a deep sense of regret that we are obliged to report the failure of our mission. It seems inconceivable to us that a coercive strike should occur on one of the nation’s major trans- - portation systems, with all of the losses and hardships that would follow, in view of the fact that the Railway Labor Act provides an orderly, efficient and complete remedy for the fair and just settlement of the matters in dispute. Grievances of the character here under discus-
sion are so numerous and of such frequent"
occurrence on all railroads that the general adoption. of the policy pursued by the organiza-
MISSOURI PACIFIC
tions in this case would soon result In fhe com. =, plete nullification of the Raftway Laber Act...”
Obviously the railroads cannot be run efficiently, or sconomicall if the leaders of the unions ignore 2gresments or laws. -
Provisions of the Law Which Are Disregarded
There are five ways under the Railway Labor Act to settle disputes over the meaning of eons tracts: 1—Decision by National Rallvoad Adjustment Board. ' 2—Decision by System Adjustment Board for "the specific railroad. 3—Decision by arbitration. 4—Decision by neutral referee. 5—Decision by courts.
The Missouri Pacific Railroad has been and is entirely willing to have these disputes settled in. accordance with the requirements of the Railway Labor Act. Regardless of this fact, the union leaders have shut down that railroad.®
Innocent Bystanders Suffer Losses and Hardships
There are about 5,000 engineers, firemen, con. ductors and trainmen on the’ Missouri Pacific. They are known as “operating” employes, and are the most highly paid of all employes on the nation’s railroads, but their strike action has resulted in the loss of work to 22,500 other employes of the Missouri Pacific. In additiofi, they have imposed great inconvenience and hardship upon the public and the communities served by that railroad. The Railway Labor Act was designed to protect the public against Just such interruptions of commerce. If these men will not comply with the provisions of the law for the settlement of such disputes, then all thinking Americans must face fhe question, “What is the next step?”
