WARD immediately went home, took to his bed and hasn't beens seen since. Some of the winners in the bi- monthly dinner matches were as follows: .

SEE US FIRST FOR EXPERT MECHANICAL AND MOTOR WORK \ Johnnie&M ay, a COUPE SEDAN 4° i | MADE TO ORDER OF COLORFUL DURABLE PLASTIC If we cannot aders of two unions think its. @ 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 because they are one of the means of giv- ing 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 throtile. ‘The fireman sits and watches the a ad. With no coal te shovel, he has practically nothing else to do. 4 No Benefit To You Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brother- hod of Locomotive Firemen and Engine- men want to use the diesel locomotive as a means of forcing a feather-bedding scheme on the railroads. The extra men they pro- -to add to the diesel crews are not There is no work for them. "Pe union leaders are fighting among thétgelves about which union should fur- ish’ these extra, needless men. The rhood of Locomotive Engineers ha¥é-even threatened a strike. You may be interested in this dispute of these ms, but you would be vitally con- these groups succeed in putting through this featherbedding scheme, be- eause it would mean a slowing up of the improvement program of the railroads—ot which the diesel is the outstanding symbol. a feather bed Diesel crews are among the highest paid 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 convenience. The railroads have many more of them on order for even greater improvement in service to you. But need- less 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 service for you. Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is only a small part of their improve- ment program. Since the War, literally billions of dollars have been spent on im- provement of tracks and stations, on new —= ET THEASTERN EE sou passenger and freight c: well as on | locomotives, and on the many other less conspicuous details of railroading that contribute to improved service. i Feather-Bedding Means Less Serviee: To You ‘ But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the one now proposed would, if successful, divert large sums of money from our pres- ent improvement progr Even worse, they make improvements like the diesel worthless, by making the cost of them operation prohibitive ‘These demands are ests—as well as th of the railroads, ‘They are schemes to “make work”. Nei- ther you nor the railroads should be forced to pay such a penalty for progres: That’s why the railroads are resisting gainst YOUR inter- these “make work” demands to the dast ditch—and why they are telling you about them.
