Uncle Ted's Bed Time Stories
lack Learns About fhe Railroads

From all appearances Jack had just
been dipped in a coal bin. From his
head to his feet he was one mass OF
dirt, and as he ran in the front door
late for supper Uncle Ted called to
him:
1--WE been down 10 the round house
in the railroad yards, and I'm going TO
be an engineer. too,A answered Jack
with great pride.
so" smiled Uncle Ted you're going
10. be a railroad mani ! suppose they
have told you lots Of things about the
railroads down there and what they are
trying TO do with them
Well" said Jack, Mr.. Jones, that
big, fat engineer told me I'd better
learn all about railroads and trains be-
cause The men who run the trains are
going 10 fix 10 soon so that they viii
get half the fares and do Just as they
please"
"Just as I thought answered Uncle
Ted. Now run along and wash your
face and hands. get your sister and
hurry back here, and while you're eat
ing supper I'll tell you the true story
OF the railroads.
Jack wasted little time in washing,
and after calling Ruth the two children
sat quietly, eagerly awaiting for the
story.
NOW, children" began Uncle Ted,
FIRST Of all I must explain something
about the clubs that the railroad men
belong 10 before telling you about their
plan 10 own and run the railroads. You
see the engineers who run the engines,
the fremen who keeps The fires going
in the furnaces under the big engines,
the conductors who take your tickets,
the brakemen who take care Of the red
flags and lights and let the engineers
know what is going on in the back Of
the trains, and all the men who work
in the railroad shops, fixing broken
engines and cars, belong to clubs called
Railroad BrOtherhoods These Brother
hoods. or clubs. are divided into four
classes, one for the engineers, one for
the flremen. and so on"
But why do they have clubs?' ask
ed Jack.
"They have clubs so that they can
decide just how much money they Will

want q law passed that was written
by one of their own men, man named
Glenn E. Plumb, that would cause a
new company to be formed to run all
the railroads in the United States. 1t
is called the Plumb plan because Mr..
Plumb wrote it. They want the gov
ernment TO buy the railroads and then
turn them over 10 the railroad men to
run. They say that half Of the money
made by running the roads under this
new plan would go into the Treasury
at Washington. which means it would
go TO the people Of the country. and
the other half would go TO the railroad
men themselves. Just think Of that !
There are i0O0D,0OO people in the
United States, and If such a law were
passed one-half Of the profits from the
railroads would have to be divided
among iOOOOOO0O people while the
other half would go to the railroad
men, and there are only about 100000
Of them, even when you count each
railroad man as representing a family
Of five people,"
You mean," said Jack. "that railroad
men would run the railroads with gov
ernment money and that they would
get half of the money made and that
all the people Of the country whose
money would help buy the roads would
have TO divide mp the other half?"
That's exactly il. And because there
are one hundred million people in the
United states and only five million rail-
road people. you see how unfair the
plan is. Why, if such a plan were al
lowed TO exist each man belonging TO
the Railroad BrOtherhoods would get
twenty times more Of the net earnings
than any other citizen. besides getting
his share as one Of the iOO,OOO,OOO cit
zens. The railroad men might have
some excuse for such a plan if they
were paying for the roads, but they
demand that the government buy them
at once and then let each one OF them
make twenty times more money out OF
them than any other citizen And they
say that If Congress doesn't pass this
Evening journal., 1919-08-27

, get and how many hours they will
work. You see the railroad men are
paid by railroad companies who have
to pay all expenses OF the roads. These
companies are headed by presidents
and bodies Of men called boards Of di-
rectors. They are responsible for what
the railroads do Whenever the men
belonging to the Railroad BrOtherhoods
want more money or shorter hours
they tell the railroad heads. II they
don't get what they want they have
what is called a strike. That is, they
all refuse TO work until they get just
what they are asking for. Sometimes
men from the heads OF the railroads
and men from the Railroad Brother
hoods get together and make a plan
that suits everybody, and then the men
go back to work
Daddy says these railroad heads
didn't have much 10 say during the
war" interrupted Jack.
no, during the war the government
ran the railroads and will continue TO
run them for some time, or until the
President says otherwise. When the
government first started running the
roads President Wilson put Mr. Nc
Adoo, who was Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, at the head Of all the railroads
Of the country. That is one reason
there is trouble now. You see, during
The war we had TO move our soldiers
and food Just as fast as possible. Presi-
dent Wilson thought the best way was
TO have the government do IT, Mr.. Nc
AdOO had so much TO do already that
he couldn't worry much about the rail-
roads. Whenever the railroad workers
wanted more money he let them have
II without any question. lie didn't
want any strikes because it would look
bad for him. But because he let them
have their way during the war, whether
10 was right or wrong, these men now
want the government TO buy the rail-
roads for them so they can get all they
want and Just kick the railroad heads
out without asking them whether they
want to go or not.'
II don't think that's nice,' said Ruth.
mot very replied Uncle Ted. Now
here's what the railroad men want our
Congress in Washington 10 do. They
