THE RAILROAD
man AND THE WAR

Atlanta, Oct. Ga. Corrie, loco
motive engineer, writes for the U.
P. the following letter in explana-
ton of what the railroad man is do
ing to win the war:
The Importance of the railroad
mans part in helping America win
the war cannot be over estimated,
because it is easily apparent that all
the armies, munitions and food sup
plies produced by our country would
be useless in the fight against Ger
many without transportation facili-
ties. What good is a gun unless
you have a railroad man to take it
where it is needed? And what good
is gun without shells-without
food for the men who fire it. This
is the railroad mans job and. his
great duty to the nation at this
time.
believe that as an engineer for
the Southern railway l am doing
my bit to help America. And by be.
ing efficient, watchful against dan
gerous practices and by careful use
Of my engine 1 believe there is an
opportunity to increase the useful
ness of my services to the country
in this emergency.
l am making an effort to do these
things. The locomotive that now
drive has been in my charge for
four years and eight months. Dur
ing that time, as result of the care
and attention give the working
parts after completing my run, it
has never been sent to the shops
for heavy repairs. Altogether
have driven it over 272,OOO miles
without breakdown. After each
run I spend from thirty minutes to
an hour going over each working
part to see that no condition exists
that may result in accident or break
down while on the line.
By keeping my engine out of the
shop and by consuming as little coal
as possible in running it. feel that
/ am contributing my part to the
efforts of my superior officers to
produce the maximum transporta-
ton efficiency which is necessary to
win the fight, and in doing these
things to the best of my ability II
think | an justified in the belief
that I am doing my bit for my coun-
try in the present emergency.
