Southern Carriers
Reject Committee

Point Out They Can't Junk
Agreements At Behest OF
Government Board

Orders from the Presidents Fair
Employment Practice Committee to
give equality in rail jobs TO Negroes
were challenged this week by 1d
Southern railroads as both uncondi-
tional and 'wholly impractical.
These 16 and group of other car
rierS were directed by the committe"
last week to cease all discriminatory
practices within 80 days and To sci
aside union agreements which were
asserted to place limitations on en-
ployment of Negroes. Seven Standard
Railroad Labor Organizations were
also targets of the DEGREES.
First to reply were the 16 Dixie rail
roads, which gave their views in a
joint letter to the committee.
Blow AT Peaceful Relations
They pointed out that the railroads
are engaged "a hours Il day, seven
days Il week, in carrying on the moSr
vital business of transportation" and
that their contributions has been ac-
claimed as an unprecedented accom-
plShment by all branches of the GOV
ernmcnt."
This accomplishment has been
achieved by peaceful and harmonious
relations with railway labor and by
patriotic cooperation between these
managements, labor and the shipping
and travelling public" the letter said.
I'VE wish it clearly understood that
any disruption of these relations which
may result from your committees
dircctiveS is not the responsibility Of
these railroads.
Can't Set Aside Contracts
The letter stressed. too, that employ
ment relations on the rails are govern
ed by collective bargaining agreements
reached under procedures Of the Rail
way Labor Act, and that the carriers
are entirely without power to make
any one-Sided changes in the agree
montS

Willingness was voiced by the com

the problem cannot be solved out t-of-
