Facts Concerning
The R. R.. Strike
Some Things About Acts of the
Labor Board Prior to Strike
Condemnation of Violence

Tie cause VI Striking SnODm60 /!
We ask your earnest considera-
ton of some of the most impor.
tant facts leading to the strike.
The Transportation Act contains
three mandatory provisions af-
fecting management and EN-
ployes alike. They shall confer,
they shall attempt to decide, and
in the event they fail to agree,
the dispute shall be referred to
the Labor Board for decision. :"
A careful distinction should be
made between violation of the
Transportation Act and violation
of the Boards decisions, because
one is violation of law while the
other is not. In violation of law
% Railroads reduced wages, in
most cases without a conference
with employees and in all cases
without an agreement with the
employees.
After repeated requests from
employees the Board finally held
hearings, and one year nine
months after the inception Of
the disputes one year six months
since disputes were filed with the
Board and one year and three
months since hearings
were held by the Board,
no decision has vet been
rendered. On the other hand
the Board has found time to
twice reduce wages, eliminate
most important rules of National
Agreement which had been in
existance for 40 years. The
question naturally arises is the
Transportation Act capable. Of
one application to the Railroads
and a different application to the
employees?
We respectfully submit for
your consideration: l. We are
not combating the Labor Board
or the Government. 2. We are
engaged in a dispute with the
management of the railroads.
3. The Labor Board has failed in
its efforts to decide this dispute
by obtaining an agreement upon
wages and working conditions
acceptable to both parties. A.
There is nothing in any lawful
decision Of the Board to prevent
such an agreement being reach
ed between the carriers and their
employ es at any time in the
future.
We furthUr wish to place be-
fore the public some facts per-
tanning to the supposed to be
violence that , was carried on
here Thursday night, July 9th:
l. We were ignorant of these
acts from the beginning, took
no part in them and are opposed
TO all such acts for the following
reasons:
"A. We are law abiding Ameri-
can citizens.
B. We received from the Grand
Lodge orders fOrbiding us par
ticipating in any acts of violence.
2 We, as a body of striking
Railroad men in this city, con-
denim these acts, and pledge
ourselves to assist in any way
possible to prevent re.Occurence
of same.
We are at the service of the
government of this city to render
any aid they may see fit to call
upon us for to prevent these
acts, and if such should arise we
are ready and willing to make
any necessary sacrifices to bring
the offending parties to Justice.
We as citizens of this CITY ap-
peal not to your passions and
prejudices, but your better self,
that an impartial study of the
facts leading up to this strike be
made before condeming either
side.
