Landlords had their inning in
| 1948 as indicated bv the approval
here of 352 rent increases, which
| represented 87 per cent of the pe- I

ceiling adjustments. were granted ,
on the basis of higher taxes, oper- I
ating costs, individual hardships,
and otl^er of the 14 permissible -

Figuring significantly in that
activity was a favorable response
to the newly introduced “short
form" petition on which landlords
owning four or le.ss rental units
can file for rent increases to com- '
pcnsate for higher taxes, insur- |
ance, fuel, or utilities.

D Leaders of unions representing rail-
road engineers and firemen seek to force
railroads to add extra, needless men on
diesel locomotives. This is sheer waste
—a “make-work” program which would
mean fewer improvements and higher
costs—for you!
Railroads use modern diesel locomotives be-
cause they are one of the means of giving
faster, better service to you.
Two men compose the crew of a diesel.
They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the
front. The engineer iuindles the throttle. The
• fireman sits and watches the track ahead.
With no coal to shovel, he has practically
nothing else to do.
No Benefit To You
Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco-
motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want
to use the diesel locomotive as a means of
forcing a feather-bedding scheme on the rail-
roads. The extra men they propose to add to
the diesel crews are 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. The 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
improvement program of the railroads—of
which the diesel in the outstanding symbol.'
Diesel crews are among the highest paid

tracks and stations, on new passenger and
freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives,
and on the many other less conspicuous de-
tails of railroading that contribute to im-
proved service.
, Feather-Bedding Means Less Service To You
But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful, divert
large sums of money from our present im-
provement programs. Even worse, they make
improvements like the diesel worthless, by
making the cost of their operation prohibitive.
These demands are against your interests
—as well as those of the railroads. They are
schemes to "make work”. Neither you nor
the railroads should be forced to pay such a
penalty for progress.
That’s why the railroads are resisting these
"make work” demands to the last ditch—and
why they are telling you about them.
L" ,i
railroad employes—real aristocrats of labor!
Their pay is high by any standard. Granting
of these demands, therefore, Would mean that
the railroads would be paying out millions in
ungqrfied wages to those in the very highest
pay brackets.
We’d Like To Spend This Money On You
You know how mdeh the diesel has meant to
you in increased speed, comfort and conven-
ience. The railroads have many more of them
on order for even greater improvement in *
service to you. But needless drains of money,
such as this present demand of the unions for
needless men on diesels, reduce the 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
