RAILROADS. MUST OPERATE around the clock
every day and night Of the year.
Although they know this. leaders of is rail-
road unions are demanding a fve-day, Mon
day through Friday, week for ono million
railroad employees.
They want 4S hours pay for 10 hours work
lin itself 20% wage increase.
They also demand minimum Of II hours
pay for any work performed on Saturdays,
and 16 hours pay for any work performed on
Sundays and holidays.
On top of all this they want an additional
increase of Csc an hour for every employed
You'd Pay the Bill!
Summing up these demands. they mean that
these union leaders seek to force the railroads
to give one million employees an annual raise
which ,Oould average $500 per employee!
The total cost of this would be no less than
~ billion dollars per year, which is more
than twice the expected net income of the
railroads this year.
You'd pay the bill. because If these in.
creased costs are forced on the railroads.

they must have still further rate and fare
increases.
Demands Unreasonable
These employees have had substantial raises
during and since the war. Their average week.
lyearnings are higher than the average weekly
earnings Of workers in manufacturing indus
tries. They have more job security than the
average worker in American industry. They
also enjoy paid vacations, retirement sys-
tenn and other advantages more generous
than the average worker receives.
In contrast with the demands Of these le
unions, which add up to the equivalent Of Csc an
hour. the Conductors and Trainmen recently
settled their wage request for IN increase Of l0c
an hour.

Railroads Run for Everybody
Not employees Alone

The railroad industry must serve not one but
many groups-producers. businessmen, ship
pers, passengers and the general public
night and day, every day of the year. These
unions are proceeding in utter disregard OF
this important difference between railroads
and other industries. Industrial plants can DO
shut down over weekends and holidays, but
freight, mail, express and passengers must
continue to move. Everybody Who enters rail-
road employment knous this.
