Is “working down.” He doesn’t pfopose to work his way through all departments and all Jobs; not for him are the suc- I cess stories about the ambitions lad who began at the bottom of the ladder and workhd to the • top by slow and painful struggles. 9 But he does want to know some- • thing about the railroad and he ( doesn’t mind getting his face and hands dirty while he’s learn- r tag. . - V f So he Is working as a machln- I let’s helper, working in the Dale - street shops.
