Question four asks, “Where, in
these circumstances, must the ac
cent of U. S. policy lie, with re
spect to the Communist danger.”
First, he argues, we must pursue
a “vigorous and hopeful” foreign
policy which will attempt to solve
international differences without
recourse to shooting war. This
means a continuance of the “cold
war” as the best strategy opened
to us at the moment. And “we
must continue to take an intelli
gent and helpful interest in the
efforts of people everywhere to
withstand the sort of pressures
which are brought to bear against
them from the Moscow Commu
nist side.” In other words, we
must always try to prevent the

In this connection, Mr. Kennan
doubts the value of an attempt to ,

such an agreement. Words would
still mean different things to the i
Russians than they mean to us. i
The agreement would be worth ;

Feather-bedding scheme of Firemen’s Union to put an additional
fireman on diesel locomotives has been

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
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 operat ion.”

Outstandingly Good
Although the railroads accepted the Board
findings, the union leaders have brazenly
rejected them. They represent that an

on that point:
“The safety and on-time performance
of diesel electric locomotives operated
under current rules have been notably
good . .
“Upon careful analysis of the data sub
mitted ou 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. The proposal
must be rejected.”
The real reason behind these demands is
that the union leaders are trying to make
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.

attitude of peaceful cooperation
in the world at large.”
If we do all this, Mr. Kennan
concludes, keeping our eyes on the
We Can Save You Big Money!
Friends, have your houses, bams and tops painted now.
Don’t 'wait until they rot or rust down. Beware of strange per
sons from other states. They will ruin your tops with cheap
materials they call paint, get your money, and be gone. We paint
brick, metal, and wood. We water-proof cement and cinder
blocks and also treat houses for termites with Cresco or materials
required. Call us for free estimate. We have the best exper
ienced men in the business.
We also do electric and aceteline welding. No job too large
or too small. (You break it and we fix it.) We guarantee our
work. We contract jobs or do them by the hour.

"The Safety Record of Diesels

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
Diesel-electric operation has been safer
than steam locomotive operation ...”
Remember! These are not statements of
the railroads. They are just a few of the
many similar conclusions reached by Presi
dent Truman’s Fact Finding Board which
spent months investigating the claims of
the union leaders.
