This was announced here this
week by Roy Griffith, local chair
man of Lodge 26 of the Order of
Railway Conductors, Toledo,
Ohio.
Griffith is national organizing
director of the Consolidation
Committee of Train Crew Or.
CARNATIONS, composed of repre-
sentatives of the Order of Rail
way Conductors, the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the
Switchmen's Union of North
America.
The committees headquarters
are 444 Greenwood Ave. Toledo.
FIRST conference of the train
crew organization was held juno
25 where 40 representatives of
the three unions worked out
plans for unity.
"The aim and purpose OF
this rank and file committee"
Griffith said, "is to gain the
support of all conductors,
trainmen and switchnien and
and by this united movement
compel the consolidation of
these three train crew unions
into one strong organization.
A similar Consolidation Com
mittee of Enginemen has been
formed by rank and file members
of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers and the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, headed by R. R.
Walker, organizing director. 11O1

BOTH committees with essen
tally the same aims are progress

two groups of engine and train

ing made to enter into the ham
ding of grievances or other mat
ters coming within the iurisdic-
ton of The general committees or

"The chaotic situation that
confronted all railroad tabor in
the recent strike" Griffith
said, has very definitely point
ed out the need for conso!ida-
ton. For years many of US
have reasoned that IL is neceS-
sary for our railroad organi2a-
lions to act with greater unity.
''The truth of this reasoning
was demonstrated when we
note that in spite of the split
in our ranks which was brought
about by the fact that chiefs
CO our BrotherhOOdS could not
or would not agree on a cont
mon cause that would benefit

rank and file of all five trans

together in a consolidated
move and succeeded i'm bring
ing about a moral victory in
this strike, even though we did
not obtain the essential ends
OF which the strike was called.

we must consolidate to prevent
