1 ' u::c uvw UP BRIEFS Railroad Men Return to Jobs As Strike Ends House Passes Bill Requested by Truman Washington, May 25 The railroad strike is over, and the first union-manned - trains are moving out of the stations. The announcement of the end of the 48-hour rail strike came just as President Truman called on a joint session of Congress to enact legislation outlawing strikes against the government. House Passes Measure The House-passed legislation imposes strict penalties for work stoppages against the gov ernment in time of emergency. It would empower the President to declare a national emergency and seize plants or facilities con stituting a vital or substantial part of an essential industry. He would have authority to call off icers, executives and em ployees back to their jobs under government seizure. Willful vio lators, either strike leaders or management, would be subject to a fine of $5,000 or ,a year's imprisonment or both. Gives Power to Draft An employee who failed to return to his job would be con sidered as voluntarily quitting and would lose his rights under the national labor relations act, or under the railway labor act. If re-employed, he would lose his previous seniority rights. The President would also be provided to draft into the army any person management, worker or union leader ' who failed to return to his job within 24 hoursThe legislation would be effective for the duration of hostilities and for six months thereafter unless terminated earlier. All profits that accrue from government operation would be turned over to the fed eral treasury. ;. This legislation, aimed at the nation-wide train and coal situa tions, was exactly what Presi dent Truman had asked for in an unprecedented appearance before a-joint session of -Congress.
