RAILROAD MEN ARE DOING THEIR PART
 IN WINNING WAR
President Lee of Trainmen Says 5000 Are Among Military Forces of
 the Nation

Cleveland, J anuary 20. With membership of 160,000 men in train and yard service, the Brotherhood of Railroad |Trainmen today has more than 5000 men in the military forces of the nation, according to a statement issued here today by w. G. Lee, president of the brotherhood.
 The national union, according to MT. Lee, has paid more than 100 death and disability claims as re- suit of the experiences of members overseas. Of the 5000 men at the front, more than 500 were residents of Canada. The organization IS pay ing the dues and assessments of all members in active service.
 we have 40o00 switchmen and 12O,OoO men engaged in train and other yard service, said President Lee. And can say to you that regardless of how they are employed they can be relied upon at all times to assist the govern ment in every way to win the war.
 .'At the outbreak of war with Germany I set aside one of the organizations re quirements in validating the insurance of members who enlist or enroll In active service during war. and we are today paying from a fund established by the grand lodge all dues and assess ments of members who have enlisted or enrolled in either the army or navy. and will continue to do so while they are in active service.
 This action was taken because the patriotic heart of the membership of the brotherhood, both in the United States and Canada. seemed to warrant it. and for the further reason that the opportunity was offered effectively to challenge the statement that the or ganized labor is menace to good govern ment and an enemy to society"
 Together with chief executives of other transportation organizations. have repeatedly assured President Will son that our membership could be re- lied upon in support of his declaration for world wide democracy, and now that the government has taken over the operation of the railways, we are with it to man and have not only furnished man power, but have subscribed to S250.- 0Oo worth of bonds of the liberty loan of the Dominion of Canada"
