RAILROADING has always been regarded as
mans calling
But when war reached deeply into railroad ranks
taking from the Pennsylvania Railroad alone
more than $4,000 skilled and experienced workers
for the Armed Forces-women were employed TO
help keep trains rolling.
Today, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, approx
mately p, 900 women are serving in wide variety Of
occupatons-four of which you see illustrated here
Positions such as tranmen, ticket sellers, train
passenger representatives, ushers, information and
reservation personnel call for intelligence, courtesy
and high degree of efficiency. Young women fresh
from college and high school-afer intensive training
have proved they can fill these roles most capably
So, we're glad to have their help in the greatest
job railroads have ever been called upon TO do,
moving men and materials to Vietory!

 There was such short-lived sag after the armistice at the end of the last war, but it was followed by a swift and devastating runaway infa- ton and brought in its wake bank ruptcy of business, destitution to farm CTS and large-scale unemployment to wage earners," he declared.

Lewis And UNIV
 Officers Named
 In Court Fight
Edmundson Seeks Injunc- ton Placing His Name
 On Election Ballot

Ray Edmundson, former lieutenant of Pres. John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers filed suit in U. S. District Court iii Washington this week seeking an injunction to prevent Lewis from distributing ballots with out Edmundson's name as a candi- date for president.
 At the UNIV convention in Gin cinnati Lewis was upheld when he ruled Edmundson was not an ac- credited delegate and therefore could not be candidate. It was at this con- vention that Edmundson's Autonomy and Self Government committee" col lapsed after a fist fight during a eau GUS meeting.
 EdmOndsOn's suit names Lewis, Vice-Pres. John O'Leary and Sec. Treas. Thomas Kennedy as de- fendants. both as officers and as in- dividuals. It charges cOspiracy among them and violation of the UNIV constitutions, particularly of Sect. 2, providing for the election of all international board mem bers.
 In a statement to neWsmen, Ed mundson charged that lo board mem bers appointed by Lewis held 2871a votes, while 10 elected members had only 721a votes.
 Edmundson said he had ex- hausted all of the provisions of the union constitution was declared leader of a ''dual movement with out a hearing and ''I have no place to appeal" He claimed the court action was all that was left and was permitted under the UNIV laws.
 Under the UNIV constitution bal lots must be in the hands of the locals by Nov. IA for the Dec. F election of officers and Edmundson's suit is being pushed to get hearing before the ballots go out.
 Edmundson said he was still a member of the UMW' and, I'm go- ing to fight this out and stay in the UNIV. As sure as they put me out I'm coming back"

Espionage Set-up
 Is Fully Exposed

A well-developed system of labor spies fiOurished at the C. L. NOrden Co. bOmbsight plant in Brooklyn to prevent workers from joining a union, a former NOrden employee told an NLRB hearing this week.
 The witness, Sidney Silvers, who described himself as the key man in the espionage setup, poured out his story to the obvi- ous consternation of company representatives. The Norden at torney won a postponement of cross examination of Silvers, pleading that the company needed more time to prepare its ques- tions.
 Silvers testified that he was asked by the head of the Norden security system to get the names of all guards who had joined the Local and the names of the union leaders. He told of reports made to him by another guard, containing the names of people attending union organizing committee meetings and of the discussions at those meetings.
 Silvers, who was employed by the company from Sept. l6, l942, to Aug. 4, 1914, as a guard, de- scribed in detail the instructions he issued to Guard Matthew Harbe- son to join the union organizing committee.
 He also testified to numerous conversations between himself and company representatives during which the extent of union organi- zatien was discussed and methods of spying were further developed. The bombsight firm employs about 10000 workers.
