"On Dec. 2, 1945, the Daily Work- er said, 'The war in China is the key to all troubles on the inter- national front,' but we were indif- ferent. "The President said, 'What dif- ference if Asia goes?

WARNED EARLY OF JAPAN During the time Congressman Judd and his hospital staff were under control of the Japanese army, he saw things which made him feel it was imperative that America stop building up Japan's war machine. He returned to the U. S. in 1938 and spoke before 1,400 audiences in 46 states. He was right then as his judgment would have been right if followed after the war. To correct the lack of good judgment at Washington Dr. Judd believes there should be a "great ground-swell from the people who would denmnd that the people at the top in- form themselves about the forces at work tod~y." NEED DIPLOMATS "We need a better understanding and interpretation of diplomacy. We are as poor as any country in the world in diplomacy. This na- tion will stand or fall on how well it can handle the relations with the world. How many specialists do we have in prevention of war? Dr. Judd named a number of the greatest U. S. generals, scientists and industrialists to show how we excelled in fields other than di- plomacy. "General Marshall, who was one of the greater4 experts on logistics, was utterly unpre- pared for his mission to China. We send tired business men or retired genera!s and admirals to international conferences and come away with bloody noses," Dr. Judd pointed out. "We have to understand the other nations, how they are, why they are, and how to deal with them," the speaker emphasized several times. He castigated the Morgentheau plan for dividing Germany and said it was communist inspired. G e n e r a 1 MacArthur stood his ground and would not follow such a plan to divide Japan.

By mutual agreement, 20 of these unions--com- prising about 1.2OO.OOO men, or more than 9OCt,--are working under wages and rules agreed to by them and the railroads. But leaders of three unions--with only about 130.O00 men, or less than 1OCt/o--still refuse, after more than a year of negotiations, to accept similar wage and rules agreements. These are even more favorable than the terms recommended by the Emer- gency Board appointed by the President. I OOO Yes, it certainly seems to be finally about time that the leaders of the three unions stop their delaying tactics--their quibbling. But the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conduc|ors conti,ue to refuse. They continue a course of dillying and dallying. It is definitely time to On June 15, 1950, an Emergency BoardprlnciplesoftheMemorandumAgreement rules changes, which have already been appointed by tim President under theof December 21.

The union leaders would bar progress an hour ($2.72 a day) and road engineers, and efficiency in the industry, and better More Than 90~ of Employes Accept Since then, terms equal to or better than the Board recommendations have been accepted by about 1,200,000 railroad em- ployes--more than 90~ of the total of all workers. They are represented by 20 of the 23 standard railroad unions. Less Than 10~o Refuse But three unions--with about 130,000 men, or less than 10~$ of the total--have refused to accept, even after months of negotiations. These three unions are the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conductors. These are tl ree of the so- called "operating" unions. Already the highest paid men in the industry, their leaders demand still further advantages over other workers. firemen and conductors would now be re- 1 ceiving an increase of 19 cents an hour ($1.56 per day). Large sums of retroactive pay have already accrued and if the agree- ment is carried out, will be paid promptly. What About "Cost of Living" Increases? The White House Agreement includes an "escalator" clause under which wages will be geared to changes in the Government's cost-of-living index. Two such increases --April and July, 1951--have already been paid to the 90/~zo of railroad employes cov- ered by signed agreements. What About the 40-Hour Week? The White House Agreement calls for the establishment of the 40-hour week in prin- ciple, for employes in yard service. The employes can have it any time after Jan- uary 1, 1952, provided the manpower sit- service to the public, by maintaining a situation where they can arbitrarily stop a railroad from establishing such inter" divisional runs. The carriers propose that if a railroad wishes to set up an inter divisional run, the railroad and the unionS should try to agree on such run and the conditions which should surround its es- tablishment, and if the railroad and the unions can't agree, the matter will be sub" mi;:ted to arbitration. But the tlu~e union leaders still refuse. Rules Can Be Arbitrated The railroads have not only offered these three unions the same rules agreed to bY the BRT and covered by the White House Agreement, but have even agreed to sub. mit such rules to arbitration. The Industry Pattern Is Fixed In all, there are about 270,000 operating uation is such that the railroads can get em~loves But not all of them, by any enough men to perform the work with With the pattern so firn~Jy established i~l me'i~ are represented by BLE, BLF&E, reasonable regularity at straight time the railroad industry, it seems fair to su~" or ORC.
