efficient and adequate to compose the
differences between the brotherhOods
and the committee Of railroad man

Judge Chambers also informed the
president that in his judgment the fed

If the hood and tenders are smooth
and are simply dull from weather no
preliminary sandpapering or smooth
ing will be needed, but you can best
judge that yourself. With the sur
faces as smooth as required, the first
step is to apply coat of metal primer.
This should be allowed to dry over
