WHY THE
MISSOURI PACIFIC
RAILROAD STRIKE?
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 oi
Locomotive 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 dis
putes. They insist that they be the sole
umpire of their own disputes over the
meaning of contracts.
President Truman's Board
Condemns Strike
There Is an established legal method for
handling disputes involving existing writ
ten contracts?just as there is such a
method of settling any contract dispute
which you may have in your daily life.
The President of the United States ap
pointed a Fact Finding Board to investi
gate and adjust the Missouri Pacific dis
pute. This Board reported, in part, as
follows:
There is no Meed for Strikes
With all of 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 ordinary pro
cedures 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 Railroad was forced to dis
continue operation for several days under
similar circumstances.
**.. . it is with a deep sense of regret that we
are obliged to report the failure of oar mis
sion. It seems inconceivable to as that a
coercive strike should occur on one of the
nation's major transportation 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 set
tlement of the matters in dispute. Griev
ances of the character here under discussion
are so numerous and of such frequent occur
rence on all railroads that the general adop
tion of the policy pursued by the organiza
tions In this case would soon result In the
complete nullification of the Railway Labor
Act..
Obviously the railroads cannot be run
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 exist
ing contracts. They cover claims for a full
day's pay for leas than a day's work, or for
payments for services performed by others
who were folly paid for the work done.
efficiently or economically if the leaden of
the unions ignore agreements or lawa
Provisions ot the ixiw which
are Disregarded
There are live ways under the Kail way
Labor Act to settle disputes over the mean
ing of contracts:
1?Decision by National Railroad Ad
justment 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 dis
putes settled in accordance with the re
quirements 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,
conductors and trainmen on the Missouri
Pacific. They are known as "operating"
employes, and are the most highly paid of
ail employes on the nation's railroads, but
their strike action has resulted in the loss
of work to 22,500 other employee of the
Missouri Pacific^ In addition, they have
imposed great inconvenience and hard
ship upon the public and the communities
served by that railroad.
The Railway Labor Act was designed
to protect the public against rust such in
terruptions of commerce.
If these men will not comply with the prortstone
of the law for the settlement of such disputes,
then all thinking Americans must lace the i
tion, "What is the next step?"
