Yet leaders of im m m 1 f ci em a mm on ilmd unions diesm ! Here's the truth about diesel locomotives. Diesel locomotives are equipped with every modern device for maximum safety. They have automatic controls. They can be operated safely by one man. But two men an engineer and a fireman are now employed on a diesel road locomotive. Diesel locomotives adopted by the railroads as one way of improving their service to you have hauled millions of passengers in recent years with one of the best safety records in railroad history ! They have pulled millions of tons of freight millions of miles also with one of the best safety records in railroad history! Full Pay-No Work! Leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen arc now demand ing an extra engineer and an extra fireman on diesels, claiming the extra men arc needed. But the facts prove these men are not needed. They would just be drawing full pay for doing no work. The railroads are placing an ever-in creasing number pf dicscls in service bothpasscnger and freight. These trainsare operated at speeds consistent with safety and good service and on both counts their record tops all public'transportation. Feather-Bedding Is Against Public Interest! If the ridiculous demands of these union leaders were granted, it would mean pay ing out millions in wages to men not needed in diesel locomotives. The leaders of the Engineers' Union have threatened to call a strike to enforce their "feather-bedding" demands. Never theless the railroads are resisting and will continue to resist such "make-work" schemes which require payment for work not done schemes which are contrary to the interest of t he whole American people. HERE ARE THE FACTS! t. The safet' record of trains pulled by diesel locomotives is the best of all public transportation. 2. liicsel locomotives provide the best working conditions locomotive engi neers and firemen have ever enjoyed: comfort, cleanliness, ease of operation, maximum safetT. 3. Diesel locomotives are maintained at peak operating efficiency. 4. The diesel is virtually automatic. It is equipped wiih the most modern salety appliances. 5. The diesel locomotive is the last word in railroad efficiency, safety and comfort. 105 WEST ADAMS STREET CHICAGO 3, ILLINOIS We are publishing this and ether advertisements to talk with you at first hand about matters which arc important to everybody. i. is i Sen It Thru Journal Want Ads.
