PRESIDENT TRUMAN RAILWAY UNION LEADER (9 a.tn.) NEW YORK. Nov. 20. Mr. A. F. Whitney, president of the Railroad Brotherhood, addressing _ the Congress of Industrial Organisations' convention at Atlantic City, complained that President Truman’s Administration had temporarily weakened his union and had unfairly charged the railway union leaders with provoking a strike which the workers had not wanted and had urged railwaymen to repudiate their leaders. “President Truman’s appeal fell on deaf ears as the railway workers have no more respect for him than for the Pendergast group from which he gained political recognition.” (The Pendergast, poltical machine orginated in Kansas City under the late Tom Pendergast. who introduced President Truman to politics.)
