2 Unions Block Labor Peace—Refuse Wage Boost
Already Accepted by 1_9 Other Railroad Unions!
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen and the Switchmen’s
Union of North America, representing
125,000 railroad employes, have refused
to accept the offer of the Railroads of a
wage increase of IS# cents an hour.
This is the same increase awarded
1,000,000 non-operating employes by an
arbitration board in September, 1947.
This is the same increase accepted by
175,000 conductors, trainmen and switch
men by agreement on November 14, 1947.
/ •-ments have been made with
1,1 10 empl°y es - represented by nine
teen unions. But these three unions, rep
resenting only 125,000 men, are trying to
get more. They are demanding also many
new working rules not embraced in the
settlement with the conductors and train
men.
Incidentally, the Switchmen’s Union of
North America represents only about 7%
of all railroad switchmen, the other 93%
being represented by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen and covered by the
settlement with that union.
Strike Threat
The leaders of these three unions spread a
strike ballot while negotiations were still
in progress. This is not a secret vote but is
taken by union leaders and votes are
signed by the employes in the presence
of union representatives.
When direct negotiations failed, the
leaders of these three unions refused to
join the railroads in asking the National
Mediation Board to attempt to settle the
dispute, but the Board took jurisdiction
at the request of the carriers and has been
earnestly attempting since November 24,
1947, to bring about a settlement. The
Board on January 15, 1948, announced
its inability to reach a mediation settle
ment. The leaders of the unions rejected
the request of the Mediation Board to
arbitrate. The railroads accepted.
What Now?
The Unions having refused to arbitrate,
the Railway Labor Act provides for the
appointment of a fact-finding board by
the President.
The railroads feel it is due shippers,
passengers, employes, stockholders, and
the general public to know that through
out these negotiations and in mediation,
they have not only exerted every effort to
reach a fair and reasonable settlement,
but they have also met every requirement
of the Railway Labor Act respecting the
negotiation, mediation, and arbitration of
labor disputes.
It seems unthinkable that these three unions,
representing less than 10 per cent of ra'lroad
employes, and those among the highest paid,
can successfully maintain the threat of a par
alyzing strike against the interest of the en
tire country—and against 90 per cent of their
fellow employes.
The threat of a strike cannot justify grant
ing more favorable conditions to 125 000 em
ployes than have already been put in effect
for 1,175,000, nor will it alter the opposition
of the railroads to unwarranted wage in
creases or to changes in working rules which
are not justified.
A glance at the box shows what employes
represented by the Engineers and Firemen
make. They are among the highest paid in
the ranks of labor in the United States, if not
the highest.
Compare these wages with what you make!

This weather is a little late
for a white Christmas, but
while thinking of Christmas, I
am reminded of a letter I re
ceived in the mail the other day,
which I deeply appreciated. I
do not think I deserve the kind
words contained in the letter,
because many did more than I
on the Community Christmas
Cheer Fund. However, I think
the time has come to tell about
the organization which is really
responsible for the fund. The
letter follows:
“The Lucy B. Hunt Bible
class wishes to thank you for
your interest in and the assist
ance given by you to help make
the Christmas season more
cheerful and happy for the less
fortunate in our community.
“The response of the public
generally to this fund was very
gratifying to those who had a
part in it. Our class considered
it a privilege to sponsor this
worthy cause and we are sure
that you contributed much to
its success, both as a represen
tative of ‘The Sun’ and by hav
ing a personal interest in it.
“Again, thanking you, we are
Yours very truly,
Lucy B. Hunt Bible Class.”
Most of you know that this
Bible class is an organization of
the First Baptist church. . . .
during the past week.

The big climax to the March
of Dimes campaign will be to
night when the President’s Ball
is held at the armory. Charlie
Pruitt and his Sextet will fur
nish the music. In case you
naven’t heard this group, they
are very good .... at least I
thought they were when I heard
them at the Clemson club dance
before Christmas, and I am told
they weren’t at their best that
night. But even if it were just
a “juke-box” dance, the cause
for which you are buying tick
ets is worth the price you pay.
The Jaycees are again sponsor
ing the March of Dimes cam
paign for fight against infantile
paralysis. They will appreciate
your attendance at the dance
(and I think everyone in New
berry plans to be there) as
well as your otherwise gener
ous contributions. ...
There are things even worse
than “taking candy from a
child.” Perhaps the child does
n’t need tlje candy—but, well,
here’s a story I ran across in
Friday’s issue of The Greenville
News:
“An imposter yesterday at
tempted to take the March of
Dimes collection box from Wal-
green’s drug store, but a quick
thinking manager asked for his
identification and foiled him.
“Drive Co-Chairman Vardy
Ramseur said the boxes would
not be collected until the end
of the campaign, January 30,
and that those making collec
tions would carry identification
letters on stationery of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis and signed by drive
officials.
“In view of thefts in nearby
cities he urged businessmen at
whose places boxes are placed
to be on guard against thieves
and imposters.”
I was talking with Mrs. W. S
Lominick the other day, and she
told me that her son, Jack
Pruitt, Jr., is now playing with
Ken Harris’ orchestra in Atlan
ta, Georgia. Jack, since his
discharge from the army over a
year ago, has been music direc
tor at the Gaffney city schools.
He was also violinist with the
Charlotte symphony orchestra,
and resigned both positions to
accept the job in Atlanta.
The Ken Harris orchestra is
now playing at Atlanta’s Bilt-
more hotel Empire Room, which
I think is one of the nicest
places for good food and. good
entertainment I visited during
my brief stay in that part of
the country. Another of New
berry’s sons, A. H. Clark, Jr.,
is also with the Harris band...
I went over to the Veterans
administration office Monday for
a chat with Bob McLees, the
contact representative who has
been sent here to replace Mr.
Mac. Bob says he is pleased to
be In Newberry, but I don’t
think he is going to be happy
until he finds a place for his
family to live. So, if you
know of a three or four room
unfurnished house or apartment.
Bob will be happy to talk with
you.
