President Truman's Boar$ < Condemns Strike There is an establiahed legal method for bundling disputes involving existing written contacts--just as there is such a method of settling any contract dispute which you may have in your daily life. The President of the United States appointed a Fact Finding Board to investigate »nii adjust the Missouri Pacific dis- Ste. This Board reported, in part, as ktwa: "... It is wtth a deep sense of regret that we ate obliged to report the fail ore of our mis* Mon. II seems inconceivable to ni that a ctKrcire strike should occur on one of the Option's major transportation systems, with aU of the lessee and hardships that would faBow, in Hew of the fact that the Railway labor Act provides an orderly, efficient and complete remedy for the fair and just settlement of the matten ia dispute.
