0Ids Foes Poll Senate
Call Rejection Sure;
Vote Likely tuesday
BY the Assoetotsd Press

Critics Of President Truman's
reappointment Of Federal Power
Commissioner Leland Olds said
today they have polled the Senate
and the results indicate Mr.. Olds
will be rejected.
The count is not challenged sub
stantially by administration lead
ers, who expect a vote Tuesday
on whether the Senate shall con-
firm Mr.. Olds.
His opponents told a reporter
they have IS of. the 96 Senators
pledged to vote against confirma-
ton. Although a few of the IS
are among the more than a score
of Senators who are away. many
Of them In Europe, any such mar
gin would be conclusive.
Mr.. Olds' rejection has been con-
ceded privately by most of those
backing the nomination.
Recess Appointment Forecast.
They are said to have told Mr..
Truman that he can expect de-
feat of the nomination, despite
his appeal to the Democratic Ma
tional Committee to stir up grass
roots support for the appointee.
This support came in the form of
kilograms to some Senators, but
didn't seem to alter the situation.
The President, who seldom quits
on a nominee. has made confir-
nation such an issue that one
Senator close to the White House
said he would not be surprised of
Mr.. Olds is given a recess appoint
ment. even though the Senate re-
jects him.
That would keep Mr.. olds on
the job until January-but prob
ably without pay-when the Presi-
dent could submit his name to the
Senate again.
Republicans were said to be
lined up almost solidly against
Mr.. Olds.
Committee Rejection, 10 to I.
The Senate Commerce Commit
tee turned him down, 10 to 2,
despite Mr.. Truman's assertion
that opposition stemmed largely
from powerful corporations sub
ject to regulation by the commits
tion." He called Mr.. Olds q dill
gent public servant.
Chairman Edwin G.. johnson re-
piled that the committee was
shocked beyond description" by
the radical writings" Of Mr.. Olds
in the 1s20s. ...
Senators from oil and gas States
were almost uniformly opposing
Mr.. Olds, whose critics charge also
that he wants to bring natural gas
under Power Commission regula-
ton.
Political Faux Pas Seen.
Some Democrats apparently felt
MIR. Truman had muffed one polit-
ically when he told his news con-
ference yesterday that he had
asked the national committee to
stir up support for Mr.. Olds as q
matter of party discipline.
Defeat of the nomination
wouldn't help such discipline, they
argued. /
Expressing a Republican view
point, Senator Schoeppel Of Kan
sas called the Presidents action
q brazen effort" to put on execu-
tive pressure.
Senator Lucas of Illinois. the
Democratic leader, told reporters
he is determined to push the Olds
nomination for a vote. He
wouldn't forecast the outcome.

Innocent BystGuders Suffer
Losses and Hdrdships

There are about 5000 engineers; fremen;
conductors and trainmen on the Missouri
Pacific They are known as operating"
employees, and are the most highly paid of
all employees on the nations railroads, but
their strike action has resulted in the loss
of work to 1880 other employees of the
Missouri Pacific: In addition; they have
imposed great inconvenience and hard
ship upon the public and the communities
served by that railroad.
The Railway Labor Act was designed
to protect the public against just such in-
terruptions of commerce.
Ifthese men will not comply with the provisions
of the law for the settlement Of such disputes,
then all thinking Americans must face the ques-
ton, ':ssWhatlis the next step?"

There is no Need for Strikes

With all of the available methods for the
Interpretation of contracts, there is no
need for a strike or even a threat of
strike, but the leaders of these railroad
unions have ignored the ordinary pro-
cedures established by law and insist upon
imposing their own interpretations of their
contracts by means of strike.
The wheels have stopped rolling on the
Missouri Pacific. They may stop rolling
on other railroads at any time. Recently
the Wabash Railroad was forced to dis
continue operation for several days under
similar circumstances.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-09-22
What are These Strikes About?

These strikes and strike threats are not
about wage rates or hours. They result
from disputes over the meaning of exist
ing contracts. They cover claims for full
days pay for less than days work, or for
payments for services performed by Others
who were fully.paid for the work done.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-09-22

efficiently or economically if the leaders Of
the unions ignore agreements or laws.
Provisions of the LGU LChich
are Disregarded
There are five ways under the Railway
Labor Act to settle disputes over the mean
ing of contracts:
1-Decision by National Railroad Adj
justment Board.
2-Decision by System Adjustment
Board for the specific railroad. =
3-Decision by arbitration:
Adhesion by neutral referee:
5-Decision by courts.
The Missouri Pacific Railroad has been
and is entirely willing to have these dis
putes settled in accordance with the re-
quirements of the Railway Labor Act!
Regardless of this fact, the union leaders
have shut down that railroad.
