Ed Strike Threat Is Story Of
: Inter-Brotherhood Wars
+ Inter-Brotherhooa Wartare
Ridis BY PETER EDSON g
g NEA Washington Correspondent. :
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—RaiI strike or no rail
strike, behind the threatened tie-up of American
txfgxigportation was a little-known drama of inter
union warfare and jealous rivalry among the so
called “brotherhoods” of railroad men. !
Leading characters in this drama were the .
heads of the five operating brotherhoods of men
that run the trains:-Alexander F. Whitney, Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen; H. W. Fraser, Order
of Railway. Conductors;! D. B. Robertson, Broth_
erhood of Firemen and Enginemen; Alvanley
Johnston, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers;
Arthur J. Glover, Switchmen’s Union.
For a long time, the Firemen have wanted to
absorb the Engineers and the Trainmen have
wanted to absorb the Switchmen. They have had
many jurisdictional fights and membership raids.
In 1946, the brotherhoods got their first-round
postwar wage increase. A fact-finding board had
recommended an incréase of 16 cents an hour. This
was acceptable to the 16 non_operating ‘“non-op”)
brotherhoods—the clerks, telegraphers, machinists
and so on. Three of the “ops” were also agreeable.
They were the Conductors, the Firemen and the
Switchmen. But two others held out.
They were Whitney's Trainmen and Johnston's
Engineers.. They caused the two-day strike of 1946.
They went over the heads of the fact-finding board
and appealed to the White House. The other 18
unions didn’t want a strike. Their leaders blasted
Messrs. Whitney and Johnston loud and long.
TOUGH TALK, PLUS 215 CENTS,
DID THE TRICK
President Truman talked tough. He seized the
railroads and asked Congress to draft.the strikers.
But\ instead of backing up the fact-finding board,
Truman gave in to the two strike leaders andi
offered them 18% cents an hour increase instead
of 16. They accepted it while Truman was speak-I
ing to Congress. «
Now this 2% cents difference is important. It‘
helpedistablish the belief that, if strike leaders go |
to the White House, they can get more. |
This extra 2% cents that Truman gave them in |
1946 made Whitney and Johnston heroes amongl
the brotherhoods. Whitney at the time damned
_'l‘ruman roundly and said he would spend every
last dollar of the $47,000,000 in the Trainmen’s
treasury to ruin Truman. Since then, Whitney has
changed his mind. He called at the White House
last January and said he would support Traman.
In 1947, the 16 non_ops asked for their second
round raise. Last July they agreed to arbitrate. In
September they were awarded 15% cents an hour
wage increase. They took it.
The five ops at first didn’t ask for a raise. In
stead they asked for changes in some 40 rules.
Heads of the ops persuaded their members they
had more tc gain from rule changes. When the non
ops got their 15% cents, however, the op heads
were forced by their brotherhoods to ask for a
second round raise. So, on October 1, they demand
ed 30 percent more, with a $3 a day minimum
raise.
THREE OPS COPY SUCCESSFUL '46 PATTERN
In. November, Whitney for the Trainmen and
Fraser for the Conductors, accepted this offer. The
three others—Robertson for the Firemen, Johnston
for the Engineers, and Glover for the Switchmen—
decided to threaten a strike. In this they were ex
actly following the Whitney-Johnston pattern of
1946. Tvor
President Truman appointed a board to inves
tigate, last January. The board reported in March.
It said in effect, that it could not upset established
wage differentials in the railroad industry by
giving one craft more than another, particularly
since the firemen were rivals of engineers, and
trainmen of switchmen. It awarded the same 13%
cents, retroactive ‘to last November 1.
. The three holdouts refused to accept this finding.
{Continued in Column Five.)
,AN’I- WALLACE VIOLENCE IS BAD,
CZ\LLING ATTENTIGW TO HIS CAUSE
Thez New York opening of “The Iron Cur
tain'.;" got some of the best and least ex
pen ive publicity in the recent history of
motilor. pictute exploitation. Communists
l\and their svmpathizers picketed the
‘theat, er and engaged in a street fight with
Cathglic war veterans. The newspapers
carrie d pictures and stories. Lot of interest
was aroused, and a lot more people will
probab)ly want to see the picture than
would | otherwise be the case.
Ail Ythis was for free. And no doubt
20th C'entury-Fox is grudgingly grateful
to the Reds for forgetting that one can
benefit something he opposes by calling
attention to it. But the comrades aren’t
the only ~ones afflicted with this short
sightedness. There have been some recent
examples, of the same afliction among
apparently loyal and well intentivned
Americans.
~ These examples have centered around
Henry Wallace and his third-party move
ment. Mr. Wallace has been denied hotel
accommbdations and meeting halls. He
was the target of eggs in his home state of
Jowa. Some of his followers took a beat
ing in ln'diana. And so on.
Such behavior calls attention to Mr.
Wailace and his cause, of course, and
creates some sympathy even among those
who opposte his ideas strongly. The egg
and fist-throwing may be traced to frus
tration among people whose muscles work
better than their minds. But the calculat
ed, non-violent actions are an affront to
the very principles that the prepetrators
of those actions seem to fancy they are
protecting.
There is no loyalty to American tradi
tions in deriying the rights of free speech
and peacahle assembly to the third party
ites. Such ‘denials are for the Soviet gov
ernment, which Mr. Wallace frequently
defends in unflattering comparison to our
OWn.
Let Mr. Wallace accuse and disparage
as he chooses. Let him talk himself in and
out of corners, and allow himself to be
pushed along the twisting paths of Com
munist policy. But let him talk. If the fan
tasies and inconsistencies of his ‘public
pronouncements cannot be exploded by
sane and reasonable arguments, then no
eggs or blows or lockouts can demolish
them. ‘
I We are only in the early spring of the
election season. After the conventions
have picked their candidaes and the cam
paign gets in full swing, we all know that
Iblood will run hot and tempers will run
high. The candidates’ oratory,, including
Mr. Wallace’s, will grow more extrava
gant. 3
Thig alwavs happens. And with a can
didate in the field who can find nothing
to adruire in American policy and so much
to apologize for in Russia’s actions” the
race promises to be more bitter than us
ual.
So all of us might well resolve to keep
in check the emotions that politics may
arouse in the coming months. If the Wal
laceites can be beaten and egged this ear
ly there is rcal danger that, unless their
opponents use their heads, incidents might
occur which not only could cause physical
injury but also affect our leadership in the
family of nations as the world’s greatest
democracy. ' ;
MIGHT BE WORTH A TRY .
The President has offered Congress a
$27,823,000 bargain. He wants that sum
to hire 10,000 more tax-enforcement offi
cers and raise the pay of others in the in
terest of better collections. :
The treasury claims that we lose a bil
lion dollars a year through tax evasion.
If this i¢ true, something surely should be
done. especially with the present tax cut
and” high defense expenditures looming
ahead. The President’s offer may not be a
guaranteed bargain. But if there is a
chance to recover that billion for about
one-fortieth of the amount, it would seem
to be worth the gamble.
I should think he wouldn’t want to sit on
it especially singe it faces south. But per
haps he will install a swing and swing from
right to left, and that way he will feel natu
ural.—Mrs. Martha Taft, commenting on
President Truman’s new White House bal
cony. : ;
e ——————
Russian capabilities are quite alarming
What has us worried is that we can’t put
our finger on whether war might start to
morrow, or next year, or years from now
or ever.—Gen. Omar Bradley, Army chief
of staff.

day as critical——Secretary of Defense

Rail Strike Threat _
Is Story Of Inter-
Brotherhood Warfare
(Continued from Column One.)
One of the reasons they gave was
that this was now 1918 and that
they should have something more
in the nature of a third-round in
‘crease. The board said no to that,
‘on the ground that this was only
a remnant of the second round
Ithat it was deciding upon. So the
!three holdouts issued -their call
ffor a strike on May 11.
i Even with this settled, it won’t
ibe the end of the argument. The
116 non-ops have already filed
. their third round demands. All
they want is 48 hours pay for 40
;hours work, plus 25 cents an hour
more and adjustments in over
| time rates.
Negotiations on these demands
have already begun. So the bright
future that opens ahead is that all
this monkey business will have to
! be gone through again.
