the Pennsylvania railroad manages
ment has set it's foot on efforts to
build up new unions among its en-

fere with the big organizations like

vent is organization of men like
freight handlers, trackmen and car In

of the success of the big tralnmen

to form or join other organizations.
This the Pennsylvania railroad man
agement is determined TO prevent.

tribesmen are extravagant in their de

unable to grant, and they threaten to
destroy the palace and pillage Tehe'
