When the record of war achieve

is written, among those at the
top of the list will be those work
ers employed ON the railroads OF
our nation. These men are shout
dering a terrific burden of war
responsibility with peace-time
equipment and wartime facilities.
Railroad yards are loaded nation
over with thousands upon thou
sands of freight cars filled to ca
pacity with not alone war mate
rails but, also food to feed the
world. And with almost every train

fore hanging out a mythical sign,
standing Room Only" But all
these cars, both freight and pas
senger, are moving.
They speed the rails through
the night as well as through the
day. From the man who pulls the
throttle of the engine down to the
man who unloads the cargo at the
depot, every one of them are mem
bers of their respective trade UNI
ions, unions that are affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor
While we pay tribute to them
all, we desire particularly to laud
one group who are also members
of the American Federation of La
Dor, these being the Pullman port
ers in the passenger train service.
No matter how tough the going
gets; no matter how congested be-
comes passenger traffic; no mat
ter how cranky and jittery travel
ers are because of the inability to
get lower berths or drawing rooms,
there is a constant smile beaming
on the faces of these pullman por-
tiers, and a courtesy which too
many travellers fail to recognize.

poor equipment it was necessary
