q 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
c0sts-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 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 Englnemen want
to use the diesel locomotive as means OF
forcing 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
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 slowing up of the
Improvement program of the railroads.&c.
which the diesel is the outstanding symbol.
Diesel crews are among the highest PAID

freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives,
and on the many other less conspicuous de-
tails of railroading that contribute to inn

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 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
penalty for progress.
That's why the railroads are resisting these
make work" demands to the last ditch-a and
why they are telling you about them.

railroad employes-real aristocrats of labor!
Their pay is high by any standard Granting

We'd Like To Spend This Mcney On You
You know how much the diesel has meant tb
you in increased speed, comfort and convenA

such as this present demand of the unions for

Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is
only small part of their improvement pro-

Why Dog Turns Round

The modern dog has many of
the instincts of its wild ancestors.
When a dog lies down, even in a
room, he turns around a few times.
This dates back to the days when
the dog made himself a bed in the
tall grass. The dog turned around
so that he could lie on a bed of
trampled grass and be protected by
the tall grass growing around him.
