Union leaders’ answer to Board is
YES!
INO!
In taco of Board finding* to tho contrary, union la tutor* insist an
48 hours pay for 40 hours work. This would ha an avaraga In-
al 31 cants an hour, or $2.44 a day. So Union toadar*
unjustified strike on 5

tempt to force demands which the Board
dearly labels as unjustified!
Leaders of the Switchmen’s Union are
calling this strike in defiance of the Board
—in defiance of the facto—and at the ex-
pense of the public!
In its report on this case, the Board
made this statement:

In its report, the Board declared thia de-
mand unjustified by all the evidence pre-

give the switchmen an unfair pay advan-

ployee, and would add too great a burden
to railroad costa.
Hare ia another case of a rail mod union
