Feather-Bedding Mcaas Leon Service To You
But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful, divert
large sumcrrrf money from <Wtf presehl Im-
provement programs. Even worse, they make
improvements like the diesel worthless, by
making the coat of their operation prohibitive.
These demands are against tour interests
as well as those of the railroads. They are
schemes to "make work”. Neither you nor
the railroads should be forced to pay bus'
peS.alty.for
That's why the railroads are resisting th
make work” demands to the last ditch—l
why they are telling you about them.

Their pay is high by any standard. Granting

the railroads would be paying out millions in

pay brackets. ’
We’d Like To Spend This Money On You
You know how much the diesel has meant to
you in increased speed, comfort and cqnyen-
ience. The railroads ha ve many more of them
on order for even greater improvement in
service to you. But needless drains of money,
ouch as this present demand of the unions for
needless men on diesels, reducethe ability of
the railroads to spend money on better serv-
ice for you.
Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is
only a small part of their improvement pro-
gram. Since the War, literally billions of dol-
lars have been spent on improvement of

permanent way to settle all labor troubles.
There is the menace of mounting taxes. The timely wacn-
ings should be heeded. Taxes do not create more business, jtifes,
and prosperity. Ex-President Hoover’s Commission report shonlri

The Communist menace should be faced in all its serious-

institution only to destroy our freedom.

been in operation since last midsumme*is costing nearly 50 per
cent more than London bureaucrats estimated. Prescriptions
have doubled and the demand for eyeglasses has nearly doubled.

No Benefit To Yen
Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco-
motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want
to use the dieeel locomotive as a means of
forcing a feather-bedding schema on the rail-
roads. The extra men they propose to add to
the diesel crews arc not needed. There is no
work for them.
The union leaders are fighting among them-
selves about which union .should furnish
these extra, needless men. Whe Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers have even threatened
a strike. You may not be interested in thia dis-
pute of these two unions, but you would be
vitally concerned if these groups succeed in
putting through this feather-bedding scheme,
because it would mean a slowing up of the

that Aneurin Bevan, Minister of Health, has made a public plea
: for people to go easy in asking for medical treatment. Organized
! British doctors, including the royal physician, still oppose the
I scheme, even though about 87 per cent of them have had to go
on it to make a living. One effect has been to give medicine in
| bigger doses and to have calls farther apart. That is because the
socialized doctor is paid by theAumber of patients instead of by
the number of calls. ~
In this country, advocates of the administration’s plan of
-federally sponsored compulsory health insurance point out that
it is not socialized medicine. Yet it is a long step in that direc-
tion. It would place the medical profession under the thumb of
Washington and would impose a burden on taxpayers. Patients,
as well as doctors and taxpayers, will be better off if the medical
profession is left in the field of free enterprise. Health and hos-
pital insurance plans already are available for those who want
