projects IN the world, because they
opened up the unsettled lands OF the
west. giving civilization unequaled
territory for development and un-

and fresh from college, Joined the

as an ax-man.
The other day. at 75-he retired
from disposition with the Southern
Pacific Company. the Acknowledged
dean OF the engineering profession
fn the United States and one OF the
greatest railroad engineers the world
has ever known.
Hood loft the Southern Pacific
Company after 50 years service, not
because OF falling health or ad-
vanccd age. but because the COM
pany IS not engaging in construction
work and there is no prospect OF its
doing so.
Without big job TO do. he would
be unhappy: therefore he is going to
sn;er into business for himself.

me OF engaging In active work on
such a great project The college
sent my diploma on later, so 1 did
get my degree"
Though virtually a graduate civil
engineer at the time, Hood started
in al the bottom. He explains his
reason for doing this by saying;
There are so many young men
who dislike starting at tho bottom.
Ny advice TO every young man is
this: DO not attempt 20 live up "a
your education until you get prac-
tical experience. and then you arc
quite sure not to make any disas-

good advice where engineering prof.

Day turn our thoughts OF what it

each workingman tell himself the
story of labor's record. 1t will make
him better and stronger union man
than he ever was before. Let each
man and woman in the labor move
ment recall to mind the fundamental
principles upon which the labor union
movement is founded, for those prn-
ciples are as sound as the rocks of
the mountains and as fundamental as
the air we breathe. The labor move
ment stands for all that is good and
just and fair in industry. Because it
stands for these supreme ideals it
should and must have the heartiest
support of every man and woman who
works. Fortunate, in deed, are we,
the millions who are members of la
Dor unions, that we are able on this
Labor Day to boast our membership
On this, labor's holiday, we show to
the world that the trade union move
ment retains its virility, its strength,
its aspirations and it's sense of eternal
