Railroads use modem diesel locomotives be cause they are one of the means of giving faster, t»etter service to you. Tw o men compose the crew of a diesel. They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the front. The engineer handles the throttle. The fin-man aits and watches the track ahead. W ith no coal to shovel, he has practically nothing else to do. No Benefit To You Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Ixico- motive Engineer* and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want to use the diesel locomotive as a means of forcing a feather-bedding scheme on the rail roads. The extra men they propose to add to the diesel crews are not needed. There is no work for them. The union leaders are fighting among them- aelvee about which union should furnish these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have even threatened a strike You may not he interested in this dis pute of these two unions, but you would he vitally concerned if these groups succts-d in putting through this feat her-betiding scheme, because it would mean a slowing up of the improvement program of the railroads of which the diesel is the outstanding symbol.

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 conven ience. The railroads have many more of them on order for even greater improvement in service to you. But needless drains of money, such as tins present demand of the unions for needless men on diesels reduce the ability of the railroads to spend money on better serv ice for you. Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is only a small part of their improvement pro gram. Since the War. literally billions of dol lars have been spent on improvement of IDS Co.

Feather-Bedding Means Less Service T o You But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the one now proposed would, if successful, divert large sums of money from our present im provement programs. Even worse, they make improvements like the diesel worthless, by making the cost of their operation prohibitive. 1 hese demands are against YOUK interests — as well aS'those of the railroads. They are schemes to "make work” . Neither you nor the railroads should be forced to pay such a penalty for progress.
