MIL LUBOWiO
IS TOTAL FAIL®,
BROTHERHOOD SAIS
WASHINGTON, March 19.—The
railroad labor board was declared to
be a failure and unsatisfactory alike
to the "public, the railroads and the
employes” in a statement today by
D. B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, before a subcom
mittee of the senate interstate com
rnerce committee at the opening of
hearings on the Howell-Bakley bill
proposing abolition of the board.
The bill, which is sponsored by
railroad labor organizations, pro
poses settlement of railroad labor
disputes by conference between self
chosen representatives of railroad
managements and employes with
further recourse to mediation and
aribtration.
Mr. Robertson declared the activi
ties of the railroad labor board had
brought about an “era of industrial
discord after thirty years of peace.”
"This bill,” the labor spokesman
said, "utilizes well-tried and effective
methods of adjustment of labor con
troversy through conferences and ap
peals to boards of adjustment, me
diation by a government board and
finally through arbitration. The
legal and enforceable obligation to
fulfill a contract is the basis for the
only compulsino provided in the bill.
“Contracts resulting from collec
tive bargaining between the self
chosen representatives of employers
and employes are to be enforced. If
controversies can not be ended by
agreement, government mediators
may be appealed to. If mediation is
unsuccessful, complete provision is
made fox- voluntary arbitration, the
opportunity for which neither party
can afford to reject. Arbitration
awards are to be judgments in the
federal courts and thus enforced.”
