Their pay is high by any standard. Granting

We'd Like To Spend This Money On You
You know how much the diesel has meant to
YOU in increased speed. comfort and conven-
ience. The railroads have many more of them
IN order for even greater improvement in
service to you. But needless drains of money.
such as this present demand of the unions for

ice for you.
Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is
only a small part of their improvement pro-

and on the many other less conspicuous de-
tails of railroading that contribute to ihr

Feather-Bedding Means Less Service To You
But brazen Misunderstanding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful. divert
large sums of money from our present i'm
provement programs. Even worse. they make
improvements like the diesel worthless. by
making the cost of their operation prohibitive.
These demands are against YOUR interests
AS well as those of the railroads. They are
schemes TO make work.. Neither you nor
the railroads should be forced to pay such a
penalty for progress.
That's why the railroads are resisting these
make work demands to the last ditch-and
why they are telling you about them.

Q Leaders Of unions representing rail-
road engineers and firemen seek to force
railroads to. add extra, needless men Oil
diesel locomotives. This is sheer waste
"a "make-wOrk' program which would
mean fewer improvements and higher
COsts-fOr YOUi
Railroads use modern diesel locomotives be-
cause they are one of the means of giving
faster, better service to you.
Two men compose the crew of a diesel.
They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the
front. The engineer handles the throttle. Tn
fireman sits and watches the track ahead.
With no coal 60 shovel, he has practically
nothing else to do.
No Benefit To You
Now the leaders OF the Brotherhood of Loe9-
motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want
to use the diesel locomotive as n means of
forcing a Misunderstanding scheme on the rail-
roads. The extra men they propose to add to
the diesel crews pre- not needed. There Is no
work for them.
The union leaders are fighting among them
selves about which union should furnish
these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers have even threatened
a strike. Youmay not be interested in this dis
pute of these two unions, but you would be
vitality concerned if these groups succeed IN
putting through this feather bedding scheme,
because it would mean a slowing up of the
improvement program of the railroads.&c.

How to Avoid Boat Explosions

Many boat owners are lulled
into q sense Of false security
and let their guard down when
it comes to observing safety
rules.
It takes a tragic accident,
like the explosion aboard the
cruiser Halcyon last Sunday,
to snap some yachtsmen to
attention.
Certainly, if there is ever a
time when the skipper should
be on his toes, it's while fuel
ing. Here are some common
sense rules suggested by Off
cials of the Washington Coast
Guard Auxiliary:
l. Turn off all electrical
gadgets and engine before
starting to fuel.
2. Order all hands ashore,
then close all matches and ports
so that fumes can't seep inside.
3. Make sure the spout of
the fuel hose is in contact with
the side of the fill pipe, so no
static electricity can be gen.
Grated.
4. Check fuel overflow pipe to

Gently in the Tall Timbers
area, and that section of the
Lowest Potomac recently was

of porpoises. The big man,
mails practically choked the
channel, going up one night
and back down early the next
morning.
An eyewitness said they
stretched for more than a
mile across the river and it
took them more than q half
hour to pass.
Porpoise are voracious feed
ers and do the flnny popula-
tions no good insofar as an
glers are concerned. Between
the porpoises and the COM
mercial fishermen who still
ply their nearly mile long
haul-seins In that area, it is
