Railroads must operate around the clock
very day and night of the year
Although they know this leaders of 16 rail-
road unions aro demanding a fiveday Mon-
day through Friday week for one million
railroad employes
They want 48 hours pay for 40 hours work
In itself a 20 wage increase
They also demand a minimum of 12 hours
pay for any work performed on Saturdays
and 16 hours pay for any work performed on
Sundays and holidays
On top of all this they want an additional
lucrease of 26c an hour for every employe
Youd Pay the Dillt
Summing up these demands they mean that
these union leaders seek to force the railroads
to give one million employes an annual rain
which would average tlBOO per employe
The total cost of this would be no lets then
IX billion dollars per year which Is more
than twice tho eipected net income of th
railroads this year
Youd pay the bill because If these In-
creased costs are forced on the railroads

Railroads Run for Everybody
Not Employes Alone
The railroad industry must serve not one but
many groups producers businessmen ship-
pers passengers and tho general public
night and day every day of the year These
unions aro proceeding in utter disregard of
this important difference between railroads
and other industries Industrial plants can ba
shut down over weekends and holidays but
freight mail express and passengers must
continue to move Everybody ivho enters rail-
road employment knows this
Strike Threat
On September 181948 the leaders of these
16 unions began taking a strike vote But the
threat of a strike will not alter the opposition of
therailroads to such unreasonable demands
