Though the Vocation Red Record is
rapidly becoming known as "superlatively the
best record on the Market" the Vocation is
equipped to play all lateral cut records. 1t
has the simplest and most positive-acting
automatic stop yet devised The provision
for record filing is ideal in its convenience.
All in all, the Vocation reaches the point

can Federation of Labor. and Endorsed
by the United States Railroad Labor
Board, whenever the workers. or any
part of the total number are to be

days, a notice of "a general reduc-
ton IN forces" must be made and the
notices posted IN the particular plant

Labor men who are in a position
to discuss the Pullman situation
stated today that the reason for the

most. is that the seashore and noun

Pullman rolling stock TO take care o
the enormous travel. BY July l, II 4
