CONSERVE COAL AND HELP WIN
 THE WAR

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. - Staying on the job and saving coal are my two most valuable contributions to the country in it's present crisis.
 Railroad labor has never been as scarce as it is today. The draft has taken many men and many more have volunteered The railroad regiments which are helping France were re- cruited from the employees of the railroads, and the roads were short handed before these men volunteered. The first great duty of every rail road man is, therefore, to work as i hard as he can and to remain on the job.
 1 have been railroading for over forty years. l am at the age where many men retire, and l have been working much longer than many other railroad men who are receiving pen sions. But l am as fit as fiddle and able to do a full days work with IS
 
 younger. AS long as 1 am physically able to work I'm going to work. And during the present war l intend to see to it that keep physically fit.
 AS a locomotive engineer. have an other way of helping. This is in the saving of coal. The man who doesn't know anything about rallroading would be surprised to know how easy l it is to waste coal in a locomotive. A delay on a passing siding, poor firing the actual running of the engine, care ] less firemen allowing coal to f1ll off the sides of the tanks and each side of gangway, hooking fire too much. All these are causes of coal waste. I run my locomotive so 1 oan get the most out of her with the least amount of coal. The saving of one shovelful in eight means about one ton a day, and with our more than 1900 engineers in service on this road, together with all other reads in the United States, the total would mean many thousands of tons daily. Another important factor is the ne cessity for manly honesty among rail road men in reporting violations of safety precautions, such as improper | flagging, failure to use fuses at pro. per time. Accidents would be re- duced if engineers and other rail road men would only help to bring up the standard of efficient and safe Tagging by reporting to the officials of the company violations of the rules. Accidents are not only dangerous, but they decrease the efficiency of the road in doing the work necessary for the government and the people at a time when every ounce of effort must be effectively used.
 The way to win this war is for every man to cooperate and do his share to the best of his ability. We have to help each other. and we all have to bend little,
