Need New Leadership

BY Railroad Worker Correspondent.
RUSSELL, Ky.-The largest singly
operated railroad yards in the United
States is in Russell, A few years
ago this yard employed several hun
dred yardmen. Now q few dozen do
the same, il not more, work A me-
chanical device called a car retarder
has put nearly all the ya-dnen out
Of work. The shops and round
houses are continually installing So
called labor saving devices. More IN
employment.
The company has another idea that
they are pushing to the front. 1t is
efficiency classes for the various
supervisors. 1t is nothing but a
scheme to get the bosses TO compet-
ing with each other TO sec which one
can speed up his men the most.
During the last few years all our
leadership has done is raise dues,
hand out excuses, and assist in put
ting over some wage-cuts. There is
s. movement started TO do something
about the double crossing by our
Leaders, but I regret that it has not
been able at this time to get the re-
suits that VIC would like to sec. I
believe that in due time they Will
get some results. The movement I
have in mind is the Railroad Brother
hoods Unity Committee. They have
the right ideas, only it is very diff
cult to get a lot OF the old timers to
see this. A lot Of our old-timers are
more interested in a pension that
hey will not get than they are in
immediate action. Time should sec
some satisfactory results.

That the roads intend to keep en-
ployment in rail equipment industries
TO the lowest possible level is revealed
ina plan proposed by F. H. Prince to
create a national corporation to pool
all'such equipment and, lease it TO
the various roads. The savings on
such an arrangement would run into
many millions, according TO the Wall
Street Journal Of March IS.
- The plan is based on the organi-
cation Of a gigantic equipment
corporation Railroads would. lease
equipment from the corporation ac-
cording to Use. Cars could be shunted
around to meet traffic requirements

Der has been selected by a
joint legislative committee as the

tenders Day, a legal holiday in

nators of candidates for delegates.

POSTAL CLERKS
WIN FIGHT

Postal employees today found
one comforting thought in their
consideration of the new economy
bill. for Senator Robert M. LA
Follette's amendment restoring
extra compensation for night and
overtime work surmounted all
hurdles and Is part Of the
measure.
1t is especially important to
postal workers, many of whom
work at night, and the National
Federation of Postoffice Clerks
estimates that it restores $3.0OO,-
600 to pay envelopes. The Fed
Grafton considered that the for
mer economy act, through elimi-
nation of night work and over
time pay. was discriminatory, in
effect giving them a double re-
ducLion in pay.
The Senate Committee did not
mention the La Toilette amend
ment in its report TO the Senate,
and the amendment slid through
the Senate unnOticed and un-
opposed.
The House committee caught it
all right, but the House accepted
it rather than send it back for
conference.
The postal clerks federation
urges members to write to the
Congressman who opposed the
economy bill. thanking them to
offset criticism they are receiving
from other sources.
