It is true that a compara- tively small number of union leaders are seeking to cause a breakdown of the railroads under private operation with a view to bringing about Government ownership, We believe that there remains today among the great majority of railroad workers the same fine sense of loyalty and honor towards the companies that l:as always characterized their service, That this is particularly true of the Great Northern is evidenced by the following resolutions unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Great Northern Veterans’ Association on June 22, 1928: as n that city. onz0, en appeared | } ty and } n of beau y an and athletic skill. | th Albrecht i » spurt of the the feature of the Reds rv ing days of || Cincinnatt |] “ 9 shouted for Mo wealp.
