LINGAYEN TO MANILA
(From New York Times)


In ordinary times a freight train
passing by is nothing about which to
wave flag. They go back and forth
by the hundreds across our thousands
of miles of continent every day and
get hardly a glance from the farm
homes and the city buildings and res
licences they pass.
But circumstances alter cases. Here
in unscarred America we can only
imagine the emotion with which the
Filipinos who crowded every railroad
station and crossroads along the 100
odd miles of relaid railroad track from
Lingayen to Manila saw pass the first
16-car freight train to make the trip
in many months. 1t was pulled by a
modern Diesel engine and had as a
passenger Gen. Douglas Macarthur
1t is hard to realize the emotions OF
the Filipinos, but everyone can say
Amen to the Generals reaction on
reaching Manila when he said: 'The
rapid reconstruction of this railroad
represents great engineering feat
1t is construction, thank God, not de-
struction."

Unnecessary Law
(From Brotherhood of Locomotive

(From Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen's Magazine)
Comparatively few are the Ameri-
can families that do not have one or
more members in the armed services
of the United Nations. They are
aware of the kind of enemy our forces
are fighting; they realize the condi-
tions being faced daily; and rare in
deed are they who would Intentionally
make move or say word that would
cause any man on the fighting front
to suffer. The miracle of production
attained since the United States en-
tered the conflict testifies most elo-
quently to the loyalty of the Ameri-
can worker.
The shackling OF free people by
using coercive means to secure the
fruits of their labor is contrary to
the traditional American concept
There are other methods by which to
deal with local shortages of man
power brought about by the inefficient
manner in which the situation has
been handled. Lags in production have
been principally in special lines where
requirements have been modified to
meet changes in military strategy OF
errors in estimates or planning.
There is no place in the American
concept of liberty and freedom for a
law that will require any worker tc
perform service for the private profit
of any employer. Enactment of such
measure would be move toward
totalitarianism which we are sacrific-
ing so much to eradicate.
