An Open, Square, Aboveboard, Direct
Appeal to the Intelligence and
JUDGMENT of the PEOPLE

TIL. railroads Of Pennsylvania and New Jersey believe that the pub
should be fully advised concerning the Full Crew laws in these states. Cos
experience has demonstrated that these laws have worked to the detiment
public interest and that their repeal would rebound greatly to the advantage
the people.
Not a Fight on Trainmen
The railroad companies making this announcement wish the public
clearly understand that this appeal is N n way to be construed as being aim
at The trainmen in their employ, nor is it IN effort to curail operating expena
at the cost of public safety Or service.
The companies point to the fact, with jusihable pride, that whene>
public safety and convenience demanded al increased number Of employees
necessary men were put O n trains. Behind this statement is a record of
vancements and Improvement achievements which il a most vital factor
calm and dspassonate consideration of the laws in question.
But when arbitrary laws are passed which compel these railroad companies
burden their payrons with nm ST. OOOO 900 annually for wasted. warranted ext
labor, an which actually means decrease rather than al increase operating
cheney. toRether with heavier casualty lists it il denia that hep public should
put in full touch with existing conditions that the people ma judge wisely for tn
Selves should an effort be made to impugn the sincere motives which prompt
