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 receiving an increase of 19H cents an hour ($1.56 per day).

Largesums 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 be geared to changes in the Government's cost-of-living index. Two such increases April and July, 1951 have already been paid to the 90 of railroad employes covered by signed agreements. What About the 40-Hour Week? The White House Agreement calls for the establishment of the 40-hour week in principle, for employes in yard service. The employes can have it any time after January 1, 1952, provided the manpower situation is such that the railroads can get enough men to perform the work with reasonable regularity at straight time rates.

If the parties do not agree on the question of availability of manpower, the White House Agreement provides arbitration by arefereeappointed 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, wfiich lave alreacty "been agreed to by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Of these, the principal one seems to be that having to do with so-called 'interdivisional service" runs which take in two or more seniority districts. The union leaders would bar progress and efficiency in the industry, and better service to the public, by mamtaining a situation where they can arbitrarily Btop a railroad from establishing such inter-divisional runs. The carriers propose that if a railroad wishes to set up an inter-divisional run, the railroad and the uniona should try to agree on such run and the conditions which should surround its establishment, and if the railroad and the unions can't agree, the matter will be submitted to arbitration But ihe three union leaders still refuse.

fcules Cart lit 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, and ORC stop their quibbling and take action to make the railroad labor picture 100 complete. Certainly today economic and international situation calls for a united front. And certainty no good reason has been advanced why these three unions should be preferred over all other railroad employes 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 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 are three of the so-called "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, or ORC. As a matter of fact, less than half 132,000 to be exact are in these three unions. More than half about are in other unions, principally the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. What makes the whole situation so hard to understand is that these 140,000 operating employes 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 Hofcse 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 Elie Bonin and lamny.
