The White House Agreement calls for the establishment of the 40-hour week in principle, for employes in yard service. The employes can have time after Jan- uarV 1, 1952, provided the manpower situation is such that theTailroads can get enough men to perform the work with reasonable regularity at straight time rates. If the parties do not agree on the 1 question of availability of manpower, the White House Agreement provides arbitra-tionbyarefereeappointedbythePresident. What Else Do the Union Leaders Demand? The continued quibbling of the leaders of the three unions has to do principally with counts city recreation director, said to 2,216,251.00 1 Since then, terms equal to or better than the Board recommendations have been accepted by about 1,200,000 railroad employesmore than 90 of the total of all workers.

They are represented by 20 of the 23 standard railroad unions. Less Than 10 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 three of the so-called "operating" unions. Already the highest paid men in the industry, their leaders demand still further advantages over other workers.

In au, there are about 270,000 operating employes. But not all of them, by any means, are represented by BLE, or ORC. As a matter of fact, less than half 132,000 to be exact-are in these three unions. More than half about 140,000 are in other unions, principally the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. What makes the whole situation so hard to understand is that these 140,000 operating employes are working under wages and rules which the leaders of the other 130,000 say they cannot agree to.

What Do the Railroads Offer? They offer these three unions the same settlement which was contained in a Memorandum of Agreement signed at the White House on December 21, 1950, by four brotherhoods and the railroads. Later these brotherhoods sought to repudiate this agreement. But on May 25, 1951, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen signed a complete agreement carrying out the the BRT and covered by "Tto Agreement, but have even agreeo nut such1 rules to arbitration.
