Rail Unions SET 10 Call
New Strike When U.S..
Ends Control Of Roads
by the Assoeioted Press

The three railroad brotherhoods
which called off their threat
ened Nationwide strike Monday
night will run the trains as long
as the Government has control
of the railroads.
But the minute the lines are
turned back to the carriers, whether
In two weeks or two years, they'll
call another strike unless an agree
ment is reached, meanwhile, in their
wage-rules dispute.
THAT was the word today from one
o; the top brotherhood men. He
talked to a reporter on condition
his name would not be disclosed.
This officer said the unions expect
the temporary restraining order
against the engineers, firemen and
switchmen to be made permanent by
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough after
a hearing at District Court next
week. This would prevent the
unions from striking as long as the
Government has control.
Demands Still Considered Fair.
But, the union leader said, the
three brotherhoods still consider as
fair and proper their demands for
q 80 per cent wage increase and 70
changes in working rules.
While Secretary of the Army
Royal said yesterday he has no
Intention of trying to get a wage
settlement himself, the brotherhoods
say the Army is in a position to
settle the dispute if it wants to.
They contend that if the Army,
now operating the railroads as the
agent for the Government, nego-
tiates a satisfactory agreement with
the unions, it could say to the in
dividual railroad presidents.
'"If you want your railroad back,
accept this agreement on wages and
working rules and we'll turn 1t
over"
Peoria Case Cited.
AS precedent for their determina-
ton to fight the issue through,
brotherhood officers cited the case

The operating brotherhoods called
q strike In December, 1941, against
what they called "substandard"

Of Defense Transportation. The
workers. returned.
The Federal manager, after three
months of operation, reached an
agreement on wages and working
conditions with the unions. But
management did not accept the
terms.
After the war the Government re-
leased control and the unions, still
having failed to reach an agree
ment with management, called an
other strike in october, 1945.
A period of violence followed. At
least two strikers were killed by
armed guards attempting to operate
trains. But no agreement was
reached with the unions until
April, 1947, after President George
P. McNear of the T. P. g. w. was
mysteriously shot to death near
his home in Peoria, Ill.

May Test State Law.
With the strike a day old, it was
still uncertain whether it would be
used as a test of Michigan's new
labor law.
The Bonine Trip legislation re-
uuires q strike vote. The UAW,
contending it did not apply because
several Chrysler plants are outside
Michigan, took strike action with
out such vote.
Gov. Kim Sigler ordered the
Michigan Labor Mediation Board to
find out ''if the law is constitu-
tional." Philip Weiss. chairman of
the board, asked Prosecutor James
B. McNally of Wayne County De-
troit) to take action.
But MIR. McNally said he needed
a formal complaint from the police
department, and Police Commis-
sioner Harry S. Toy insisted he
could act only If asked to do so by
private citizen.
The view that the strike would
be a long one was shared by many
unionists on the picket lines.
This probably will be tough
commented one.
Million Will Be Assessed.
Should the walkout stretch into
weeks, the UAW should be we'll
set to lend financial assistance to
Chrysler employees.
Its executive board yesterday ap-
proved plans to assess million auto
workers across the country So cents
a week in June and 81 weekly in
July. That, with SO to 80 weekly
to be contributed from the salaries
of paid union employees was expected
to boost the unions strike fund to
$1,000 900 by August /.
Strikers stand to lose $500, 900 a
day in wages as long as the dispute
lasts, it has ben estimated. Chrys-
ler will be out about 5000 cars and
trucks daily.
Chrysler workers wages averaged
$3.50 an hour before the strike
started. The union originally asked
a 30-cent hourly boost, but scaled
its demands to II cents less than
IL hours before the workers left
their jobs.
Mr.. Macy said the 17-cent figure
was "the exact amount the cor
