No longer can we enjoy all the privileges to which we have become accustomed. Johnny can’t use the car. Mother can’t bake so many cakes. Place the blame squarely where it belongs—in Berlin. The shadow that has darkened so much of the world could lengthen still farther; could bar our freedom of speech, press and worship; yes, and our right to travel when and where we choose. What are we doing about it? Ask any Union Pacific man. He and thousands of other American railroad workers are exerting every effort to stop that creeping shadow; transporting armament and munitions as fast as our factories can turn them out . . . transporting troops in ever-increasing numbers. It’s a job that must be done so we Americans may always be free to go wherever we please, unquestioned and without fear. ike UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD *7lie.
