IN MEMORIAM
In loving remembrance of our dear
husband and father, C. W. Ward,
who left 'is one year ago today,
April 26, 1949:
The golden gates were opened wide,
A gentle voice said, Come
And angels from the other side,
Welcomed our dear one home.
We think of him in silence every
hour
And often whisper his fond name,
But there’s nothing left to answer
But his picture in the frame.
Often to your grave we wander
Placing flowers with tender care,
And we always feel that you are
near us
As we sadly linger there.
And when the waning shadows are
falling
And we are sitting all alone,
In our hearts will come a longing
. If you could only come home.
WIFE AND CHILDREN.

Feather-bedding scheme of Firemen’s Union to put an additional
fireman on diesel locomotives has been
mama twice!
Fact Finding Boards appointed by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman
have said these demands were "devoid of merit" and they were
IEJECIII TWICE!
Now the Firemen’s leaders seek to paralyze railroad transportation
to compel the railroads to employ a wholly unnecessary additional
fireman to ride on diesel locomotives. This scheme is plain
rEHHER-IBIMHG!
Leaders of the Firemen’s union have
called a nationwide strike starting with
four great railroads on April 26. These
railroads are the New York Central, Penn
sylvania, Santa Fe, and Southern.
The union claim that a second fireman
is needed on grounds of safety is sheer
hypocrisy. Safety has been dragged into
this dispute only in an unsuccessful effort
to give a cloak of respectability to vicious
feather-bedding demands.
After a careful study of the first de
mands of this union, a Presidential Fact
Finding Board on May 21,1943, reported
to President Roosevelt that there was no
need for an extra fireman on diesel
locomotives.
Again, on September 19, 1949, after a
second hearing on the union leaders’ de
mands, a second Board reported to Presi
dent Truman that: "there presently exists
no need for an additional fireman... upon
either the ground of safety or that of
efficiency and economy of operation.”
Safety Record of Diesels is
Outstandingly Good
Although the railroads accepted the Board
findings, the union leaden have brazenly
rejected than. They ropronent that aq

extra fireman is needed for "safety” rea
sons. Here’s what the Board had to say
on that point:
"The safety and on-time performance
of diesel electric locomotives operated
under current rules have been notably
g00d...
"Upon careful analysis of the data sub
mitted on safety, we have concluded
that no valid reasons have been shown
as a support for the Brotherhood pro
posal under which a fireman would be
required to be at all times continuously
in the cab of road diesels. Yhe proposal
must be rejected.”
The real reason behind these demands is
that the union leaders are trying to tnaka
jobs where there is no work. In other
words, a plain case of "feather-bedding.”
The railroads have no intention of yield
ing to these wasteful make-work demands.

"The Safety Record of Diesels
is Outstandingly G00d...”
Presidential Fact Finding Board Report
Read these excerpts from official reports
of Presidential Fact Finding Boards:
"The safety record of Diesels is out
standingly good, and it follows that
the safety rules now applicable have
produced good results.’’
"The safety and on-time performance
of Diesel-electric locomotives operated
under current rules indicate that
» Dieeel-electric operation haa been safer
than steam locomotive operation...”
Remember! These are not’statements of
the railroads. They are juet a law of the
many similar conclusions reached by Preel
dent Truman’s Fact Finding. Board which
spent months investigating the of
the union leaders.
