ARUNDEL, Manager Plattsmouth feather-bedding scheme of Firemen's Union to put an additional fireman on diesel locomotives has been V JO c 1 I vS Lb o Fact Finding Boards appointed by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman have said these demands were "devoid of merit" and they were 0 nor IZJ u m 1 1 1 uu Now the Firemen's leaders seek to paralyze railroad transportation to compel the railroads to employ a wholly unnecessary additional fireman to ride on diesel locomotives. This scheme is plain fin U.UU w hi W Leaders of the Firemen's union have called a nationwide strike starting with four great railroads on April 26. These railroads are the New York Central, Penn sylvania, Santa Fe, and Southern. The union claim that a second fireman is needed on grounds of safety is sheer hypocrisy. Safety has been dragged into this dispute only in an unsuccessful effort to give a cloak of respectability to vicious feather-bedding demands. After a careful study of the first de mands of this union, a Presidential Fact Finding Board on May 21, 1943, reported to President Roosevelt that there was no need for an extra fireman on diesel locomotives. Again, on September 19, 1919, after a second healing on the union leaders' de mands, a second Board reported to Presi dent Truman that: "there presently exists no need for an additional fireman . . . upon cither the ground of safety or that of efficiency and economy of operation." Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good Although the railroads accepted the Boardj findings, the union leaders have brazenly rejected them. They represent that an extra fireman j is needed for ,:safety" reasons. Here's what the Board had to say on that point: 'The safety and on-time perform ance of diesel electric locomotives operated under current rules have been notably good ... j "Upon careful analysis of the data submitted on safety, we have con cluded that no valid reasons have been shown as a support for the Brotherhood proposal under which a fireman would be required to be at all times continuously in the cab of road diesels. The proposal must be re jected." The real reason behind these demands is that the union leaders are trying to make jobs where there is no work. In other words, a plain case of "feather-bedding." The railroads have no intention of yield ing to these wasteful make-work demands. "The Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good..." Presidential Fact Finding Board Report Read these excerpts from official reports of Presidential Fact Finding Boards: "The safety record of Diesels is out standingly good, and it follows that the safety rules now applicable have produced good results." "The safety and on-lime performance , . of Diesel-electric locomotives operated under current rules indicate that Diesel-electric operation has been safer than steam locomotive operation . . ." Remember! These are not statements of the railroads. They are just a few of the many similar conclusions reached by Presi dent Truman's Fact Finding Board which pent months investigating the claims of the union leaders.
