TOR BIGGER PROFITS,
WITH FINER PRINTING
The railroads have received 44 “rales”
demands from the leaders of the oper-
ating unions . . . representing engi-
neers, firemen, conductors, trainmen
and switchmen. They say they are
seeking only changes in working con-
ditions—not a wage increase.
ductors and trainmen be reduced from
150 to 100 miles, which would have the
effect of increasing their pay 50%.
Such a run often takes only two or
three hours!
More Money For Less. Work
But what kind of rules are bein£
asked for? Twenty-eight of them
would compel railroads to pay more
money for the same, or less work;
7 would require additional and un-
necessary men to do the same work:
the rest would bring about changes
in operating practices at increased
cost.
For Instance:
The Union leaders demand additional
train and engine crews on Diesel-pow-
ered trains—one full crew for every
power unit in the locomotive. A freight
train hauled by a 4-unit Diesel would
have to carry 4 engineers, 4 firemen,
4 conductors, and at least 8 brakemen,
or a total of 20 men instead of 5.
>!
You Can't Afford This Waste
Demands like these are against the
interests ot the whole American
people, who depend on railroad serv-
ice for nearly everything they eat,
wear and use.
These rules would cost a billion dol-
lars annually—a gigantic waste which
neither the railroads nor the country
can afford.
Railroad workers are good citizens
and good employes, with pride in their
calling. Their record during the war
was outstanding. We do not believe
they fully understand the “featherbed”
rules whir’ the Union eaders are de-
manding. We do not believe they
understand the harmful results which
these rules would have to the railroad
industry, to the millions of men and
women dependent on railroads for their
livelihood, and to the shipping and con-
suming public.
The great strength of America is in
production—an honest day’s work
for an honest day’s pay.
For only through greater production
can we hope to stop the steady upward
surge of living costs.
Surely, if ever there was a time In
our history when we needed to work;
not waste, this is it.

“Made Work”—Sheer Waste
The Union leaders demand that full-
length freight trains be cut to about
half their length, even though such
trains are most efficient for low-cost
service to you. This rule would call for
twice as many locomotives, would
double the number of trains, and make
accidents more likely.
Additional equipment, yards, and
other facilities required to take care of
these short trains would cost hundreds
of millions. What the Union leaders
reallv want is to make more jobs.
The Union leaders demand that when
a crew in one class of service perform
incidental service of another class, they
will be paid not less than a day’s pay
for each class, even though all service
is performed as a part of the same day’s

rangements of. white periwinkles

bobbed up and down. In the recep.-
tion rooms, floral decorations were
artistic arrangements of verbenas,

In the handling of large flocks*
of sheep on the farm, a good herd
dog ofttimes accomplishes the
work of two or three men, states'
the Gaines Dog Research Center,
New York City.
An old saying goes that “There
is no good flock without a good
shepherd, and there is no good
shepherd without a good dog? In
Scotland, where the work of the
sheep dog has reached near per-
fection, no shepherd would con-
sider selling, as he would feel
himself helpless without his
trained ally. The sight of a small
black arid white Border Collie
driving a flock of sheep along a
'road or through a village in a
calm, business-like manner is so
common in that country as to at-
tract no attention whatsoever.
While it is believed that the
dog’s first association with man
was as his hunting companion and
helper, certainly his second trust
was as guardian of mankind’s
,-flasks and herds. Though there
was little communication between
■primitive peoples, the dog’s abil-
ity as herder and guardian was
<early discovered and utilized by
many different races and tribes.
Many countries have developed
shepherd breeds, and while these
■vary widely in size and appear-
ance, their work is identical. Bel-
I gium produced the Belgian Sheep-
dog and the Bouviers de Flandre.
The Briard comes from France.
Hungary developed the Pulik and
,the Komondorok. The Welsh
Corgi, Old English Sheepdog,
Border Collie, Shetland Sheepdog
and Collie all originated in the
British Isles. The German Shep-
herd and the Giant Schnauzer are,
■of course, products of Germany.
The Australian Sheepdog, or Kel-
pie, has proven his value in the
rugged sheep-raising country
“down under." The Samoyede,
though generally considered a
Border ColUe rounding up sheep,
sledge dog, has also been used for
the herding of reindeer on the
tundras of Siberia.
In England, Scotland and Amer-
ica the Border Collie, which has
been bred for herd work for 300
years, is the most frequently used
sheep dog. The Border Collie is
known for intelligence, obedience,
and working ability. Standing
about 18 inches at the shoulder,
this dog has a dense coat of black
with white markings on the col-
lar, feet and tail tip. Weights run
from thirty to forty pounds. The
Border Collie’s head is shorter and
broader, and his eyes larger, than
those of his big cousin, the Scotcb
Collie. , .
Puppies that come from working
stock frequently display an inter-
est in sheep as early as seven or
eight weeks of age. The first les-
son is usually taught at three to
four months, when the .puppy is
taught to lie down on signal anci
to walk at heel on command.
Training is simplified if the young
dog can be allowed to follow the
example of a well-schooled older
dog, but many fine sheep dogs
have been trained without ever
having seen another dog work.
The education of a sheep dog re-
quires both time and patience, but-
once his dog is trained, the farmer
or herdsman will wonder how ne,
managed without his four-
footed helper. Those interested in
obtaining instructions for the
trXing of a sheep dog may have

the Gaines Dog Research Center,
250 Park Avenue. New York 17.
