For the Information of the Public The strike which has been ordered by the General Committee of the Order of Railroad Tele graphers among its mem bars employed by the Atlantic Coast Line is the yulmination of the refusal of that organization to accept n decision by the United States Railroad Labor Board denying the demands of the organization for n general increase in wages and for annual vacation of tw, weeks with pay. .. v Throughout the negotiations which led up to the present situation the Atlantic Coast Line has scrupulously complied both with the letter and spirit cf the law and with th«* order of the Labor Board which is the agency rreatd ami aphorized by Congress fo.- the settlement of disputes* Ire- tween the raib-tads and organunt.«>ci f thnr employees. The Order of Railroad Telegraphers agreed readily enough to submit the . a.se to the Railroad Labor Board for settlement but refused to accept the decision made by the Board after exhaustive investigation and has'ordered » strike because the decision which they had asked the Board to make, did -not satisfy them. The Labor Board .tecided that the demands of the organization for a general increase in wages , and for a vacation rule were Justified. It instructed both parties to look into the question of eliminating inequalities in the pay of some positions. For this purpose conferences were held by the Atlantic Coast Line with representatives of the Telegraphers in an effort to reach an arnica- * ble settlement of this issue, remanded by the Labor Board, and the Atlantic CoAst Line, after negotiations lasting for a period of five weeks, made an offer to adjust the rates of pay of a sub stantial number of positions involved. This offer was refused by representatives of the Telegraphers who on September 16th broke . off negotiations with the statement that they would not further discuss the question of removing inequalities but would demand again a general increase and vacation for all men, both of which demands had been found by the Labor Board to be unwarranted. When the Atlantic Coast Line suggested that the matter should be referred again to the Labor Board in accordance with direction:! by the Board that this be done if no set.lenient was reached, the representatives of the organiza- ion refused to join in such action. - _' . r The Atlantic Coast Line, therefore, informed the Labor Board of its failure to reach a settle ment, and the Labor Board immediately assumed jurisdiction over the controversy and ordered .both parties before it at Chicago for a hearing on October 9th.' Officers of the Atlantic Coast Line ap peared as ordeied, but the Telegraphers’ organisation declined to comply with the Board’s instruc tions and did not put in an appearance. In view of this the Labor Bbard decided to send three members to the property to investigate the whole situation; onfe member representing the public, who is Vice-Chairman of the United States Railroad Labor Board, one representing the organiza tions and one representing the railroads. This section of the Board conducted hearings at WD-"' mington on October 12th and 13th. , ' 1 . ' ' Prior to this time a strike ballot had been distributed among the members of the organiza tion. At the Wilmington hearing representatives of the organization informed the Labor Board members that while the Telegraphers would co-operate with the Board in making the proposed Investigation, such co-operation would not be allowed to interfere with the program which the organization had mapped-out for handling the natter on their own account. . The representatives of the Labor Board visited a number of places on the property getting u the facts in regard to the situation, so that a report could be made to the full membership of the Labor Board, following which the Board has announced that a prompt and final decision would be . made, and 4he Company will be governed by that decision. The strike has been called without ' waiting for thia aetiop by the INiited States Railroad Labor Boafcd. It is in direct defiance of the law. ■»- 1 The Atlantic Coaat Line will make every effort to provide for uninterrupted service to the r — » fcrim.- . ‘ - -• -v~ — .» - —il • fKir.Tr- jpjbfic. ’J-£ P.
