In contrast, this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to fout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated a paralyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the American public stand
for the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
of the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
a few dictatorial union leaders to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that are
either fair or lasting. Moreover, a point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the greater public
welfare. That is why the railroads have ac-
cepted the Emergency Board recommended
ions. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call a paralyzing strike.

A Roof Under The Floor

In low-cost houses without base
ments, dampness under the floor is
a problem. 1t causes wood decay
and makes the house uncomfortable
as well.
In some of the new housing pro-
jects, 55-pound grade of asphalt
roofing was simply rolled out onto
the soil with a 2-inch lap. This was
found to keep joists and floors dry,

THE LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep
resenting less than One-tenth Of all railroad
employees, have called a railroad strike tnat
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept a l512 cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novemi-
Der /, 1947. This increase was ecommended
by an impartial Emergency B,ard appointed
by President Truman.
: This increase of 1512 cents already has been
accepted by the 10 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmens Union OF
North America won't accept what more than
900 of all railroad employees have accepted.
They have called a strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union leaders-which would increase wages
still further were recommended by the
Board. But The union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALL the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On ton of this, they insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with
drawn-in spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
Greater wage increase not justified
ENGINEERS and fremen are among the high
est paid of all employees in America, as figures
in the box show. This strike threat doesn't
Justify giving a greater increase than other
abroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are a means provided

st to avoid strikes. The Presidents Board

Two hits in one week was the
concensus of opinion by all who
were present at the performance
of .The Seven Last Words of
Christ by the combined senior
and junior choirs, at Peoples Bap-
fist Church, Good Friday night.
The same guest artists and

O'BanyOun's
Observations

Although it is hard to realize,
the world is speeding to the
Creators blue print of PERFEC-
TON. From time immemorial,
man has perverted the intelh-
gence, which is flowing in a
steady stream from the Creator,
and is using it to gain control of
persons and property for the
benefit of himself and his poster
ity, Spite of all the efforts of re-
ligion and morals, the same pro-
gram is still in operation, only on
a grander scale than ever before.
Centuries ago, it was man to man,
with teeth and claws; Now, it is
organized army against organized
army, with the stream lined wea-
pons of destruction and atomic
energy Mans program has al
ways been one of destruction
which is the antithesis of crea-
ton. The program of the Creator
is, obviously, creation. Man has
used his intelligence to win from
his brother by cheating, chican-
cry, force and murder. The law
of the Christian religion is peace.
The older man grows, the more
he realizes that PEACE is the So
luton of the worlds problems, as
Jesus preached that Gospel. The
worldwide imitation is like the
expanding toy balloon, which will
soon burst and leave the nations
with no other choice but the
establishment and maintenance
of BROTHERLY LOVE. Man
does not realize this, and is still
trying to work out his problems
in his own way. However, the
CREATOR is still operating His
program, and viii continue to
operate it until He has what He
wants, and no man, or group Of
men can change it. Let us all
strive to imbibe generous help.
ings of the Love which is the
commandment of Jesus, to the
end that we may have share in
the JOY of the Creators finished
program, If we build up chara-
cters which He can use in His
program of Creation, if when we
become assets in His program, He
will surely keep us in His employ,
when we lay down ous bodies of
clay.
