Chestnut of Baltimore, who up
held the adjustment plan, showed
mo bias in deciding that the 1914
adjustment plan was necessary
and financially advisable"
Transaction Explained.
Senator Tohey criticized, not
merely the original loan by RFC.
but the agency's purchase of B.
& o. bonds. Mr.. Smith explained
the transaction this way:
1.-THE B. & O. 1914 adjustment
plan did not involve a bank
|ruptcy proceeding in the sense in
which the word is generally used.
None Of B. & O.'s debts were wiped
out or Cancelled by the plan. What
the plan did, in substance. was
to make the time Of payment of
interest on some B. & o. bonds.
but not on the B. & O.'s debt to
RFC, contingent upon earnings
and provide a moratorium on the
payment Of the principal Of the
B. & o. debt to RFC by extending
their maturities."
The railroad company obtained
the original loan from RFC in
1888. Senator Tobey criticized
some aspects of the loan from its
outset, but he centered his fire
mainly on 1914 adjustment ar
lrangement. in which RFC pur-
chased the railroads collateral

A presidential emergency board
to-day gives President Truman its
Recommendation on whether the
Nations railroads should agree to
demands Of II unions representing
mon operating workers for the
union shop in the industry.
Labor relations experts gener-
lally believed the panel would favor

major railroads. including the New

But the three-man panel de-
Iclined to give any inkling Of its

officials believe it would aid its
spread in other industries.
The same issue is before the
Wage Sterilization Board in a
half dozen important cases. includ-
ing the steel industry wage dispute.
II the group rules against the
union demand. however. it would
be a considerable setback in the
union drive to have the provision

Truman to Get Report Today
OnBid for Railroad Union Shop

The emergency boards recon-
tmendation is purely advisory
Neither the railroads nor the
unions are compelled to follow
what the panel suggests. But the
carriers almost invariably accept
such emergency board recon-
Imendations. even if the unions
sometimes don't.
The carriers bitterly opposed
the union shop at hearings con-
Quoted by the emergency board
They argued that it is both moral
ily wrong to compel non members
Ito join the unions. and illegal,
They contended it would perma-
Inently entrench the unions in
power.
The unions contended all work
Iers should pay. by their dues. q
share of the union cost of obtain
ing better pay and working con-
|ditions. They maintained the
union must be financially Secure
If it is to be an effective bargain
ling agent.
Congress more or less encour-
aged the present situation. In
January, 1851, it repealed a ban
in the Railway Labor Act against
the union shop, so that now the
law permits the arrangement. .
The unions argued this insured
the union shops legality. But
the carriers contend compulsory
Iunionism violates individual free
dom guaranteed in the United
States Constitution.
The Taft Hartley Act also per-
|mits the union shop. But both
laws prohibit the closed shop, an
arrangement to compel employers
to hire only union members. The
union shop permits employers to
hire whomever they want. as long
las the worker, once employed
Joins the union within a specified
time.
The Labor Department esti-
mates union membership at
around Is or 16 million. The
number has remained fairly sta
|tionary for some time. In other
words. the growth of union men,
|bership since the sos and 40s has
stalled.
BY getting the union shop idea
generally accepted, the unions
probably could pick up several
million more members and save
