T he railroads have received 44 “rules”
dem ands from the leaders of the oper
ating unions . . . representing engi
neers, firemen, conductors, trainmen

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

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

Can't Afford This W'aste
Demands like these are against th e

people, who depend on railroad serv

wear and use.

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,

“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

incidental servio^of another class, they
will be paid not less than a day's pay
for each class, even though all service

days' pay for one day's uork.
The Union leaders demand that the
