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.

President Trun,an's Board
Condemns Strike
There is an established legal method for
handling disputes involving existing writ

method of settling any contract dispute
which you may have in your daily life.
The President of the United States ap-
pointed Fact Finding Board to investi-
gate and adjust the Missouri Pacific dis
pute This Board reported. in part. as
follows:
-. it is with deep sense Of regret that we
arc obliged to report the failure Of our mis-
sion 1t seems inconceivable to us that
coercive strike should occur on one of the
nations major transportation systems, with
all of the losses and hardships that would
follow, in view of the fact that the Railway
Labor Act provides an orderly, efficient and
complete remedy for the fair and just set
tIement of the matters in dispute Griey-

the unions ignore agreements or laws.
Provisions of the LaW Whlck
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 Ad-
justment Board.
2-Decisicn by System Adjustment
Board for the specific railroad.
3-Decision by arbitration.
4-Decision 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

There is no Need for Strikes

With all of the available methods for the
Interpretation of contracts, there is no
need for 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 a 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.

Losses ana HUTdShIpS
There are about 5000 engineers, firemen,
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 22,5O0 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

to them"
 Children Have Christ Idea She is quite interested in this subject of the natural tendency of children to regard every other boy and girl with good will"
 "I am convinced that children naturally believe in the Christ con- cept-the brotherhood of mankind, '' the Governors wife declared thoughtfully. Equality of oppor- tunity and fair chance for each individual to reach his highest po- tential is part of our belief in brotherhood and it is basic to our concept of democracy"
 She can't conceive why anyone should be opposed to equal oppor- tunity, Mrs. Bowles said. tunity, Mrs. Bowles said. She spoke particularly of the need for equal opportunity in the field of educa- tion.
 Chester Bowles' lady take deal of pride in comments of legislators and newsmen that the states John and Jane Doe have taken more in- terest in things legislative during her husbands administration than in previous years.
 t'That's good," she declares. "The more interest the people have in their government, the better their government will be. Whatever hap pened - in Connecticut - or throughout the nation, will be. be- cause of the interest of the masses of citizens.
 Massachusetts-b born, Mrs. Bowles was trained in social work. She was engaged in that field in Bos- ton for five or six years, then in New York. She has held occasional volunteer jobs.
 A very effective speaker, mainly because of her sincerity, she did all of her share in the Governors whirlwind campaign.
 "Our car was new before the Convention" she recalls. By Janu- ary 1, we had put II, 1000 miles on it."
 It was pretty much past five thirty now and she took a look in the Governors office, but he was deep in a conference.
 She came back smiling. She had known he would be.
 Posing for pictures for the BULL LETIN, she expressed the opinion

UNITARIANS BACK NAAp

BOSTON-As part of the "con- structive efforts" of it's member ship "to promote brether o d among all races, creeds and cul- lures and -. to fulfill and imple- ment basic civil and human rights. the American Unitarian Associa- tlon at it's annual meeting held here this week, voted full support of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People.
 In resolution submitted by the Unitarian Fellowship for Social Justice and voted unanimously bv delegates representing the denon1i- nation as a whole, the Unitarian Association congratulated the NAACP upon it's ttfortieth annie versary of service to the American people" and suggested that it's constituents laid the program of the NAACP by urging participa- tion of individual and group mem bership within it's ranks" The As sociation further pledged itself to support the common aims" shared with the NAACP and to "press for the realization of these aims in the life of it's member churches"

as possible about the people of the State and I agree"
 Of all her affiliations and the various positions she holds, Mrs. Bowles is proudest of being chair man of the Essex School Board. She's never been a professional teacher, but has always had an in- terest in schools and feels that she understands a great many of the needs of the school system"
 We told Connecticut's First Lady that there were probably a great many BULLETIN readers - es- pecially of the more charming sex = who would be interested in how she managed to convince her busy husband that he ought to have some recreation and relaxation.
 She smiled because at that very moment it was approaching five thirty. "Chet promised me he'd be ready to leave his office today at five-thirty," she answered. "I'm not very optimistic about that, however" s ..-e@-
 She is completely understanding about it. s. <
 .'The Governors family is his relaxation, really" she added seri- ously. we usually try to do things on weekends. You know, at Essex, we live near the water. The. whole family is very fond of sports, es- pecia1ly sailing and, you know, when you're out on the water, it's pretty hard to think about any thing but the weather. We go in for picnics a good deal"
 Mrs. Bow1es is having a great deal of fun and feeling some pride in watching her children grow up. She's rather triumphant because they are staunch little advocates of decencv in human relations. They're quite outspoken about their deep-rooted beliefs that everyone is potentially as good as everyone else.
 "We lived in Virginia while Chet was head of OPA." she recalls. "It was then that the children saw segregation for the first time. Be- lieve me, it disgusted them. They had heard about such things, of course. But it was their first real experience of seeing Negro chil- dren going to the rear of busses and attending separate schools - just because they were Negroes. In Washington they even saw segre- gated playgrounds and just couldn't t get over it. It didn't make sense
New England bulletin., 1949-06-11

The Governors wife has a strong, lovely voice and an appealing, ready smile. She's not the hostess type, however, who hides in awe behind the achievements of fam ous husband.
 Without parading it, she man. ages to let you know that she's a full partner at the Governors side and a tremendous influence and encouragement to him.
 Being the Governors wife IS enough of a job - especially when the Governor is one of those drlv- ing personalities, apt to get lost in his work and ignore the basic necessities like regular meals and adequate sleep and relaxation.
 But that is only part of her re- sponsibility. The Bowles have three younger children, in addition to their married son and daughter, Chester and Barbara. There is Sam, who achieved ten-year-old dignity Wednesday night, Sally, who is eleven and Cynthia, thirteen.
 Mrs. Bowles is a wonderful and understanding mother. She man ages to spend a great deal of time with these growing youngsters, di- viding her time between the Bow1es home in Essex and the Governors mansion in Hartford.
 "I have a lot of opportunities, now that Chet is Governor, to att tend meetings and various institu- tions," she said happily. fI'm grate- full to have them. It is giving me such valuable. education in social work"
 We supposed there were a great many such invitations.
 She nodded.
 Can't Resist Invites
