VieU of Railroad Man

Joe Blow" a railroad techni
cal man, unionized :
did you ever ride train and
see the men working along the
tracks? They get 40 cents an
hour, five days week, and
married. A signal man in the
tower (has brains), 81 cents 10
80 cents an hour. Skilled cleo
tricians. carpenters, plumbers,
tinsmiths, powerhouse opera
tors get from 76 cents to SO
cents so the wage increase
demands would cost S900,000,000
isn't that terrible. Well, split
that into about 800 railroads
and the average wouldn't even
be chicken feed. hope this
note may enlighten your igno-
rant railroad brain. IL you're
stuck with railroad stock, SO am
/. So take Ii on the chin 1
guess I'll now eat my ham,
burger and potatoes. i hope you
enjoy your cocktail and h0rs
d'oeuvres, then filet mignon
with trimmings"
J. Howard Snively:
Labor positively is not defy
ing the national defense pro-
gram. / will venture the asser-
ton, from my contacts and
observations, that more than 80
per cent of labOrers who are
American citizens are not i'm
favor OF recent strikes, which
are dictated by racketeers. II
Is your duty to help laboring
men-e kept racketeers-in-
stead of blaming them"

somewhat shorter average matur-
lty on the final block. a sub 2
per cent rate is not impossible.
But there are some opposing fac
tors which it would be inadvisable
10 overlook.

Merrill's words meant assurance
that they were now connected with
a real fighting organization; but
TO Merrill himself, it meant COM
pletion' of the merger.
"Just signing an agreement.
issuing statements TO the press
and publishing ads doesn't make
a merger" he explained. ~
merger in the sense Of the word
Is the pooling Of resources--re-
sources Of money. manpower,
experience, ability, industry,
courage and determination"
And after Merrill's 10-minutc
talk. the Fenner e. Beane organi-

literally felt themselves TO be an
integral part of the new outfit,
an outfit of which they wanted TO
