RAILROAD MEN AID IN BETTER FEELING
Big Meeting Of L. & N. En- pIoyes Held At Chamber
 Of Commerce

Cooperation, safety first and claim prevention were the objectives of good fellowship meeting of Louis vile & Nashville railroad employees Wednesday evening at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium. Every de- partment of the railroad was repre- sented at one of the most enthusias- tic of the series of recent sessions, which are being held at intervals to bring about closed contact be- tween employees of the various de- partments in the interest of improved service.
 w. E. Smith, superintendent of the Birmingham division, sounded the keynote of the gathering when he declared at the beginning of the good fellowship session that railroad employees are perpetual power for good, and that each one should con slider himself a servant of the pub lie. The day has come in railroad operations, MT. Smith asserted, when railroad employees are giving more and more from the lore of their ex perience to the management in as- sisting to solve the problems of the day and render improved service.
 E. A. deFuniack, freight traffic manager of the Louisville & Nash ville, Louisville. Ky, who was a guest of the Birmingham division, brought repeated applause when he said that personal friendship and mutual consideration, tolerance of one anothers shortcomings and helpfulness were the essentials of success in railroad operation. MT. deFuniack made an earnest plea that every employe of the road should constitute himself salesman for the road, and should preach the message of service to his fellow employees.
 Among others who spoke on the these of co-operation service and claim prevention were: R. F. Rob- ertson, representing the clerks Will liam Mckenna. engineers: c. J. Holt, conductors; w. T. McCulla, Thomas McQuade, engineer foremen and others.
