Decoys
Did you know that there was
a relationship between dollars
Well it must be true anyway
Did you ever notice that once
a man gets a few dollars others
seem to fly into his pocket as
if by magic Most of the dol
lars of the United States are
gathered together in large
amounts The more dollars a
man gets the faster others join
them You may be unable to
account for this but it is true
nevertheless Dollars like to
congregate Why not start a
congregation of your own
Lets explain You make quite
a Tit of money dont you You
spend it dont you Well now
just for once try putting a few
dollars just a few in this
bank See if others dont fol
low The first few act as a
decoy You are cordially in
vited to place your decoys
In this bank We are sure that
by usiug one of our bank books
for a -blind you will be able

A National Movement
The campaign for membership in
the brotherhood of locomotive firemen
and enginemen is at present active
throughout the United States Every
where the organization is seeking to
enlist all the eligible men in the or
der so that when they choose to make
demands on the railroad companies
their demands will carry more weight
All enginemen are eligible to mem
bership
It is likely when the campaign is
ended and most of the men are taken
into the order a demand will be made
for shorter hours at least if not for
better pay also The men say they
are now expected to work long hours
each day and have short hours off
duty The men feel that the only
way to get better conditions is to
perfect an organization so strong that
the demands will be considered ser
ionsly by the railroad companies
Members of the brotherhood of lo
comotive engineers are also eligible
to membership in this organization
The two organizations have however
never seen fit to merge In general
the brotherhood of locomotive fire
men and enginemen are in favor of a
merger of the two organizations it
is claimed but the engineers organ
ization still stands apart and refuses
to consolidate The engineers organi
zation feels that it wants to fight its
own battles that is it wants to han
dle the grievances of the engineers
alone without affiliating with the fire
mens organization in such a way
that the grievances of both would
have to be worked out together
Many of the prominent men in the
firemens and enginemens organiza
tion feel confident that the consolida
tion of the two organizations will
eventually come and that not until
then will the men realize all the ad
vantages to which they believe them
