THE INDIFFERENT MEMBER
is NOT DOING HIS DUTY
TO HIMSELF AND FAMILY

The problem of getting the man
who is lax In attending the meetings
/ of his local TO become regular at
tendant is of perennial interest to all
who have the interest OF the organi-
cation at heart. and yet II is one that
| is not usually given the attention that
II deserves An organization is strong
+ in proportion TO the intensity of in
terest manifested by the individual
members In its aims and aspirations.
and when that interest wanes to any
extent. the influence and activity of
the organization proportionally de
ereases.
The union man who Is lax in his
obligations and careless In attending
the meetings of his local is dead
weight upon the organization and the
mere fact that he settles for his
monthly dues occasionally and so
manages to keep in good standing is
no index of his sslue. Whaf really
counts are the active and Interested
members. loyal to the cause for which
they stand, ready at all times to make
sacrifices for il, and always willing
to cooperate with one another for the
common good.
A trade union more. perhaps, than
any other kind of organization, needs
this peculiar singleness of purpose and
loyalty on the part of its members,
and the degree of efficiency to- which
IL may attain depends upon the inter
est which the rank and file take in its
affairs. Efforts should therefore be
made from time to time to rouse the
tagging interest of the Indifferent
members.
The form that this may take may
best be judged from the situation ex-
listing in different localities and may
embrace anything from occasional
social sessions" to an educational
campaign to increase the members
knowledge of the labor movement. A
little thought and enterprise will de-
wise ways and means to make the
meetings interesting and something
more than routine affairs.

High Cost of Railroading Is Revealed By Washing ton Officials

j, WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Federal operation and control of American railways, a wartime measure, has been a costly experiment, officials made known today, with the date on which the roads will be returned to the management of their owners just month ahead.
 It is officially calculated that the government operation of the roads, Pullman lines, express companies and waterways since taken over has brought about net loss of $594.000,. 900 in railroad operation alone. Aux. Hilary parts of the railroad systems set the government back $100,000.
 Heavy losses were sustained dur. ing November and December. These are charged to the strike of bitu- minous coal miners, which took off thousands of coal-carrying trains while pay of railroad workers went on as usual. November revenues ex- ceeded operating expenses by $19,- 100000 and December revenues ex- ceeded these costs $12,000,000. Month ly rental averaged $75,000,00O.
