RAILROAD TOPICS
laratloiiM Hani to (jet
Railway employes. In view of the
Impending labor troubles, are find
ing it a difficult matter to get leave
of absence from their Jobs. Officials
of the railroad are keeping every
body on the Job while there is dan
ger of a Btrike. A railroad man, in
discussing this matter, said:
"If you were an employe expected
to take some striker's place If worst
comes to worst, wouldn't you rather
be on a vacation, out of reach of the
otllce. when the trouble begins? If
you were a striker wouldn't you
rather be away on a leave of absence
hen the word comes? Of course
nil applications -for vacations are not
based on these reasons. This is a
time of year when a great many of
the boys plan to get away. Nat.ur
ally they want to go. It peeves some
of thein when they can't get away.
Hut the situation is such that some
officials feel It better to have a full
working organization nearby."
A poll of the railroad employes.
regarding their attitude on the
strike question, was taken at local
headquarters the last of the week.
The results of the poll are kept sec
ret.
