L ! i MARKET % 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 winch would mean fewer improvements and higher costs—for YOU! Railroads use modem diesel locomotives be­ cause they are one o f the means o f giving faster, better service to you. - . Two men compose the crew o f a diesel. They occupy a dean, comfortable cab at the front. The engineer handles the throttle. The fireman sits and watches the track ahead. W ith no coal to shovel, he hna practically nothing else to do. . No Benefit To Yon Now the leaders o f the Brotherhood o f Loco- . motive Engineers and the Brotherhood o f Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want to use the diesel locomotive as a rnem \n o f 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 wbrk for them. The unionleaders are fighting amongthem­ selves about which union should furnish • theseextra,needlessmen.The Brotherhood o f ]• Locomotive Engineers have even threatened I! a strike. You maynotbe intereatedinthis dis- ]! pute o f these two unions, bu t you would b e : ; vitally concerned i f these'groups succeed in j -nutting through this feather-herftlrng ^ : *oee'ifc wonld mean & slowing up o f the ] ! - ‘-(Ywaeafc program o f the rafiroeds—o f ] ► the dlowl ft the outstanding symbol f e g H M U M f i ' . . . & / railroad employes—real aristocrats o f labor! Their pay is high by any standard. Granting o f these demands, therefore, wouldmeanthat 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 o f them on order for even greater improvement in service to you. But needless drains o f money, such as tins present demand o f the unionsfor needless men on diesels,reduce the ability o f the jailroads to spend money on better serv­ ice for you. Proud as the railroads are o f the diesel, it is only a small part o f their improvement pro- ' gram. Since the War; literally billions o f dol­ lars "have been spent bn improvement o f tracks and stations, on new passenger and freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives, and on the many other less conspicuous de­ tails o f railroading that contribute to im­ 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 o f money from our present im­ provementprograms. Even worse, theymake improvements like the diesel worthless, by making the cost o ftheir operationprohibitive. These demands are against tour interests —as well as those o f 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 “makework” demands to the last ditch—and why they are telling you about them. eastern RAILROADS NEW 5TOEK 6 , N. 7 . ; withyou >matting which araimportartfr to everybody# “ )
