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

improvements like the diesel worthless, by
making the cost of their operation prohibitive.

— 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
