T hey say they are seeking only changes in working con d itions—NOT a wage increase. More Money For Less Work But what kind of rules are being asked for? T w enty-eight of th e m would compel railroads io p;.y n t ><<. money for the same, or less work; 7 would require additional and u n necessary men to do the same work: the rest would bring about changes in operating practices at increased cost. Az Sr0p v' 'Ô tf* » A duetors and trainm en 1 m * reduced from 150 to 100 miles, which would have th e effect of increasing th eir pay 50%. Such a run often takes only two or three hours! J’ om Can't Afford This W'aste Demands like these are against th e in te re s ts of th e w hole A m erican people, who depend on railroad serv ice for nearly everything they eat, wear and use. - 5*7 These rules would cost a billio n dol lars annually a gigantic waste which neither the railroads nor the country can afford. Railroad workers are good citizens and good employes, with pride in their calling Their record during the war was outstanding. We do not Iwlieve they fully understand the “featherbed” rules which the Union leaders are de m anding We do not believe th ey understand the harmful r<*sults which these rules would have to the railroad industry, to the millions of men and women dejwndent on railroads for their livelihood, and to the shipping and con suming public. For Instance: T h e Union leaders demand idditional tra in and engine crews on Diesel pow ered train s—one lull crew for every power unit in th e locomotive. A freight train hauh*d by a 1-unit Dit*sel would have to carry 4 engineers 1 firemen, 4 conductors, and at le n t s brakemen, o r a to tal of 20 men instead of a. The great strength of America is In pr^ulut tioti — nn honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. “Made Work”-S h e e r Waste T he Union leaders demand that full- length freight trains be cut to about half their length, even though such trains art1 most efficient for low-cost service to you. This rule would call for tw ice as m any locom otives, would double the number of trains, and make accidents more likely. A dditional equipm ent, yards, and other facilities required to take care of these short trains would cost hundreds of millions. W hat the Union leaders rtatly want is to make more jobs. T he Union leaderademond th at w hen a crew in one class of service perform incidental servio^of another class, they will be paid not less than a day's pay for each class, even though all service is nerformed as a part of the same day s // work. The crew would get at least two days' pay for one day's uork. The Union leaders demand that the present basic day for passenger con- For only through greater production can we hope to stop the steady upw ard surge of living costs.
