A Conversation Between You
or You and Your Ranger
Firg i§ t one of man’s most use-
fQl tools. On the other hand,
when it is improperly used it can
become most destructive.. Ran¬
ger, teii us something about the
dangers of wildfire.
Thank you. You were right
about wildfire being man's ene¬
my. It can burn down his home,
his church, his school, his busi¬
ness and his woods. Every year
about this time wildfire goes on
rampage in this section, destroy¬
ing valuable woods and timber.
Yes, siii uncontrolled fires are
costly.
Say, speaking of high costs,
what do forest fires take out of
the pockets of Georgians?
Figures have been complied
for last year. Ip d937 forest fire
damage amounted to 2 million,
eight hundred and twenty-three
thousand, eight hundred and two
dollars.
Well, then, we would be

Just think!. . .ninety-eight out
of 100 of our wild fires could
have beee prevented...........
You know, that brings up the
question of how to go about pre¬
venting wild fires in our woods?
Well, the spring season is now
with us......Folks do a lot of
burning during this time of the
year. Now I would like to dis¬
cuss ways of doing this burning

Look who gets squeeze
Union leaders representing less than one-tenth of railroad employes
reject recommendations of President’s Emergency board—refuse to
on their own terms—threaten to paralyze nation by strike!
THE LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep¬
resenting less than one-tenth of all railroad
employees, have called a railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept a 15% cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem¬
ber 1, 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase of 15% cents already has been
accepted by the 19 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmen’s Union of
North America won’t accept what more than
90% of all railroad employes have accepted.
They have called a strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union leaders—which would increase wages
still further — were recommended by the
Board. But the union leaders want more—
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALL the ‘changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On top of this, they insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with¬
drawn—in spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
Greater wage increase not justified
Engineers and firemen are among the high¬
est paid of all employes in America, as figures
in the box show. This strike threat doesn’t
justify giving a greater increase than other
railroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are a means provided
by the Railway Labor Act in the public inter¬
est to avoid strikes. The President’s Board;

When forest lands are propertlv managed
and protected, they keep on growing trees for
tomorrow.
Never overlook the importance of seedling
i trees. They will become the lumber, plywood,
paper and thousands of other products in the
years to come. This community needs to keep
its forests growing to maintain our industries,
jobs, schools.
When we keep our forests green, by pre¬
venting forest fires, we are helping make our,
community more secure.

after hearing evidence for 33 days, made
recommendations based on all the facts in
the case. The railroads have accepted these
recommendations.
Who’s to blame?
Although they deplored so large an extra cost
burden, the railroads accepted the report of
the Board because they felt it was in the pub¬
lic interest to uphold the spirit and intent of
the Railway Labor Act.

We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you at
first hand about matters which are important to everybody.
In contrast, this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to flout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated a paralyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the American public stand
for the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
of the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
a few dictatorial union leaders to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that are
either fair or lasting. Moreover, a point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the greater public
welfare. That is why the railroads have ac¬
cepted the Emergency Board recommenda¬
tions. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call a paralyzing strike.
