Ottawa County news. (Port Clinton, Ohio) 1931-1956, 1951-11-02

On June Is, 1850, an Emergency Board
appointed by the President under the
terms of the Railway Labor Act-an Act
largely fathered by the unions themselves
made its re"o lamentations on certain
wage and working conditions C'rules' in
railroad language) which had been in dis
pute between employees and the railroads.
More Than 9O% of Employees Accept
Since then, terms equal to or better than
the Board recommendations have been
accepted by about 1,200,O 900 railroad en-
ployes-more than 90% of the total of all
workers. They are represented by 20 of
the 23 standard railroad unions.
Less Than 1879 Refuse
But three unions-with about 10000
men, or less than 1919 of the total-have
refused to accept, even after months of
negotiations. These three unions are the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway
Conductors. These are three of the So
called operating" unions. Already the
highest paid men in the industry, their
leaders demand still further advantages
over other workers.
In all, there are about 270,0 900 operating
employees. But not all of them, by any
means, are represented by BILE, BLF&E,
or ORC. AS matter of fact, less than
half-132,0O0 to be exact-are in these
three unions. More than half-about
140,0O0-are in other unions, principally
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
What makes the whole situation so hard
to understand is that these 100000 op-
Grating employees are working under wages
and rules which the leaders of the other
130, 900 say they cannot agree to.
What Do the Railroads Offer?
They offer these three unions the same
settlement which was contained in Mem
orandum of Agreement signed at the White
House on December 81, 1850, by four
brotherhoods and the railroads. Later
these brotherhoods sought to repudiate
this agreement. But on May 25, 1851, the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen signed
a complete agreement carrying out the
