own men trained by years Of serv-
he, are seeking jobs elsewhere. IN
der this strike condition the railroad
company has not been able 10 re-
instate them and now that the men
have gone on strike and refused
TO work and are refusing to let any
one else work If they can prevent
it, the railroad company Is hunting
up its ex-service men and new men
who have clean records to 60
the job.
Under this emergency the young
men from the farms and ranches
who have been accustomed to hard
work and to relying on their own
resources IN emergencies are being
given very good positions by the
railroad company, where they will
be trained for the railroad work, al
lowed to take advantage of the I'M
usual opportunities afforded by the
present scarcity of men and pushed
to the front In their respective de-
partments.
During the war the union made
strides in their work Of what Il
known as sabbotism-that is, handl-
ing their work to get as little done
as possible, making the railroad
company operate shorter trains -
as to give employment to more
crews. They have made rules for
handling every kind Of work In q
way to have as many helpers AZ
possible. While one man n work
ing the helper Ii standing idle or
while the helper Is working the
chief il standing idle. In all these
ways this foreign element led by
the organizers who build and plan
the work Of the union, have made
transportation more expensive and
the American people are footing the
bill. Millions Of tons Of farm prod
o uce cannot be moved because tn
: freight rate is 30 high that It Il
prohibitive and these things explain
I why the rate cannot be reduced I'M
t til we get the real American man in
It charge Of the work to straighten
g out the difficulties and introduce
d high efficiency.
