1t is little wonder that the end o
the war found the railroads franticall,

working conditions could attract mel

therefore, had to fall back on the ap
peal to patriotism. Fortunately, the
Japanese surrender came sooner thar
expected, and what looked like trans
portation crisis of insurmountable pro
ns-characterized by buck-pass
ing between the war department and
the office of defense transportation
was averted by good fortune.
Carrier propaganda, so recently en-
ployed in manpower recruitment and
in telling the world what a wonderful
job the rails were doing, has now con-
centrated it's fire against the wage
and rules program of the operating
brotherhoods. The request for a %
per cent increase in wage rates with
minimum money increase of $3.50
on the basic day, plus certain changes
covering overtime, nightwork, stan
dardization between territories, and
other rules-these are what the car
riers falsely term demands for "booty"
and "featherbed' working rules
The same old arguments are trotted
out in an effort to ridicule the en-
ployees' case: where is the money
coming from?" what will happen to
the competitive position of the rail
roads ?" Railroad wages are the high

stockholders. "a wage increase must

the carriers lament
The tune was the same in 1913,

devices, every improvement in wage
rates and working conditions has been
achieved only after determined strug-
gle on the part of railroad labor. The
present fight for a more decent wage
and more just work rules will not be
any less of struggle. Reaction never
gives up without fighting last-ditch
stand against progress, and in this in
stance the American railroads have
joined forces with powerful Industrial
lists and bankers and their spokesman
in congress to prevent justifiable
and necessary rise in the purchasing
power of the masses.
Wartime earnings of the railroads
and postwar prospects belle the propa-
ganda that wage increase will bank
rupt the carriers. Average yearly
profits of Glass l railroads in the four
year period from 1941-1944 amounted
to approximately $736 million. This
was what was left over AFTER the
payment of wages, rentals, interest,
taxes, and other charges. Profits for
the first seven months of 1915 exceed
those for the corresponding period of
1914 by over $14 million. Profits for
the entire year 1915 are estimated at
500, 100000.

For example, it is the popular belief
Gnspired by railroad propaganda that
railroad earnings are overstated be-
cause the carriers are not charging
enough to operating expenses for de-
probation and deferred maintenance.
This assumption has been challenged
by the Interstate Commerce commits

PEACE, IN TRANSFORMATION
A new era in postwar peace has ar
rived. Conventionally, King would
lose his crown, some territorial
changes would be made and fine put
on the losing side; the real instiga-
tors, the hands who pulled the strings
or directed the show behind the cur
tains, usually went scott free. The
ink was barely dry on the peace
treaty of World War I before the in
dustrialists of Germany and France
had mutually agreed on a plan to gear
a big part of the industries in their
respective countries to armament pro-
duction in order to weather the inevi-
table unemployment situation which
they expected to be serious after de-
mobilization.
After World War l most of the
Western ntaions lined up into differ
ent blocs chiefly aimed at isolating
Soviet Russia with their GORDON SAM
taire" and buffer states; the League
of Nations was joke, United States
did not elect to joint it, Russia was
kicked out of it and the three who
needed watching simply walked out of
it with no discomfort to themselves,
the trial of the war criminals was but
a farce and the Head instigators were

Railroads face the coming peace
time boom in very strong financial
position" says the investigating de-
partment of Paine, Weber, Jackson
& Curtis (Railroad Review" August
| 20, 1945).
Railroads will come out of the war

and their purchases for improvement
force in improving jobs, G. Metzman,
president, New York Central Railroad
system, declared in recent address
before the Pittsburgh chamber of COM
merce." (Railroad Data, July 10, 1945).
Wayne A. Johnston, president, Illi-
nois Central railroad, asserted in an
address last summer before the Execu-
tives club of Chicago that the rail
roads have the funds, the plans, and
the confidence to carry on an extern
sive modernization program. (Railroad
Data, June 20, 1945).
Railroad employees feel strongly
that the carriers must not only bring
up to date their roadway and equip
ment, but must also modernize pres
ent wage rates and working condi-
lions. The plain truth is that railroad
labor today is getting less than a fair
days pay for a fair days work. A
study by the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics of the United States Department
of Labor MAY 1945) shows that, from
1889 to 1914, inclusive the unit labor
cost of revenue traffic decreased ia
per cent. In other words, wages of
have not been increased in
to their greater productiv-
ity.
Two measures of the amount of
work of railroad employees show that
revenue freight ton miles per road
freight employee increased 94.5 per
cent from 1889 to 1914, inclusive while
revenue passenger miles per road pas
senger employee increased 1865 per
cent during thes vars.
TIL times demand that railway man
agement break with its past policies
and, for once, adopt statesmanlike
attitude toward the wage and rule pro-
1osals of its employees. If this is
lone, then there is no reason why the
abroad industry could not contribute
is full share toward the building of a
ound postwar economy in the United
States, which would benefit not only
abor, but all other segments of the
as well.
The future of our nation lies not
through wage-cutting and return to
he pre-collectiye bargaining period of
american industrial and labor rela-
ions. 1t lies rather, through increas-
ng the purchasing power of wage
arners and their families and through
be establishment of working condi-
ions that raise the dignity of human
abor.
That is the meaning of the railroad
mployees' wage and rules movement.
is the meaning of organized labor's
age demands in other industries.
