railroad employes-real aristocrats of labor!
Their pay is high by any standard. Granting
of these demands, therefore, would mean that
the railroads would be paying out millions in
unearned wages to those in the very highest
pay brackets.
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
on order for even greater improvement in
service to you. But needless drains of money,
such as this present demand of the unions for
needless men on diesels, reduce the ability of
the railroads to spend money on better serv-
ice for you.
Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is
only small part of their improvement pro-
gram. Since the War, literally billions of dol
Jars have been spent on Improvement OF

O Leaders of unions representing rail-
road engineers and firemen seek to force
railroads to add extra, needless men on
diesel locomotives. This is sheer waste
"a ''make-wOrk" program which would
mean fewer Improvements and higher
cOsts--fOr YOU!
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 diesel.
They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the
front The engineer handles the throttle. The
fireman sits and watches the track ahead.
With no coal to shovel, he has practically
nothing else to do.
No Benefit To You
Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want
10 use the diesel locomotive as a means of
forcing a feather bedding scheme on the rail-
roads. The extra men they propose to add to
the diesel crews are 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. You may not be interested in this dis
pute of these two unions, but you would be
vitally 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.

- Diesel crews are among the highest paid

tracks and stations, on new passenger and
freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives,
and on the many other less conspicuous de-
tails of railroading that contribute to inn
proved service.
Feather Bedding Means Less Service To You
But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful, divert
large sums of money from our present inn
proyement 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.
