Tuna Catch Winner ie-placi- ng Against Railroad workers are represented by 23 standard unions, by mutual agreement, 20 of these unions comare prising about 1,200,000 men, or more than 90 working under wages and rules agreed to by them and the railroads. But leaders of three unions with only still refuse, after about 130,000 men, or less than 10 more than a year of negotiations, to accept similar wage and rules agreements. These are even more favorable than the terms recommended by the gency Board appointed by the President. Emer- Yes, it certainly seems to be finally about time that the leaders of the three unions stop their delaying tactics their quibbling. Out the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conductors continue to refuse. They continue a course of dillying and dallying. It is definitely time to Harvey D. Teller, of San Francisco, stands beside the bluefin tuna he caught at Wedgeport, Nova Scotia.

ANGLER 932-pou- nd -- 977-poun- der Glamorous On June 15, 1950, an Emergency Board appointed by the President under the terms of the Railway Labor Act an Act largely fathered by the unions themselves made its recommendations on certain wage and working conditions ("rules in railroad language) which had been in dispute 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 employes more than 90 of the total of all workers. They are represented by 20 of the 23 standard railroad unions. . Less Than 10 Refuse But three unions with about 130,000 men, or less than 10 of the total have refused to accept, even after months of negotiations. These three unions are the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conductors. These fire, three of the "operating unions. Already the highest paid men in the industry, their leaders demand still further advantages over other workers. In all, there are about 270,000 operating employes. But not all of them, by any means, are represented by BLE, BLF&E, or ORC. As a matter of fact, less than half 132,000 to be exact are in these three unions. More than half about 140,000 are in other unions, principally so-call- ed the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. What makes the whole situation so hard to understand is that these 140,000 operating employee are working under wages and rules which the leaders of the other 130,000 say they cannot agree to. What Do the Railroads Offer? They .offer these three unions the same settlement which was contained in a Memorandum of Agreement signed at the White House on December 21, 1950, by four brotherhoods and the railroads. Later these brotherhoods sought to repudiate this agreement. But on May 25, 1951, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen signed a complete agreement carrying out the principles ofthe Memorandum Agreement of December 21. They have been working under this agreement since May 25. What About Wages? Under the terms of 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 increase of 19M cents an hour ($1.56 per day). Large sums of retroactive pay have already accrued and. if the agreement is carried out, will be paid promptly. What About Cost of Living Increases? The White House Agreement includes an "escalator clause under which wages will he geared to changes in the Governments index. Two such increases April and July, 1951 have already been paid to the 90 of railroad employes covered by signed agreements. Week? What About the The White House Agreement calls for the week in prinestablishment of the in for yard service. The ciple, employes have can it any time after Janemployes uary 1, 1952, provided the manpower situation is such that the railroads can get enough men to perform the work with cost-of-livi- ng 40-Ho- ur 40-ho- ur reasonable regularity at straight time rates. If the parties do not agree on the question of availability of manpower, the White House Agreement provides arbitra-tionb- y areferee appointed by the President. What Else Do the Union Leaders Demand? The continued quibbling of the leaders of the three unions has to do principally with rules changes, which have already been agreed to by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Of these, the principal one seems to be that having to do with "interdivisional service runs which take in two or more seniority disso-call- ed 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 interdivisional runs. The carriers propose that if a railroad wishes to set up an interdivisional run, the railroad and the unions should try to agree on such run and the conditions which should surround its establishment, and if the railroad and the unions cant 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 BRT and covered by the White House Agreement, but have even agreed to submit such rules to arbitration. The Industry Pattern Is Fixed With the pattern so firmly established in the railroad industry, it seems fair to suggest that the leaders of BLE, BLF&E, and ORC stop their quibbling and take action to make the railroad labor picture 100 complete. Certainly todays economic and international situation calls for a united front. And certainly no good reason has been advanced why these three unions should be preferred over all other railroad employes.
