Do You Know that Railroad . Expansion Makes Work and Stimulates Industry? Money saved by the railroads flows back to the people. The $2,000,000 paid annually by the railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey to unnecessary trainmen, forced upon them by the Full Crew or " excess man crew " Laws, deprives the people of the big benefits and advantages this money, properly expended, would . bring. Because the efficient development of the railway industry in these States is so materially identified with the prosperity of the farmer, business man, working man, and ocores of more on less af filiated industries, the railroads ask the people to help them save this huge amount now absolutely wasted that it may go to useful purposes and work toward restoration of general prosperity. ' This $2,000,000 spent for 80 locomotives, for example, would make one year's work for 1745 men, as follows: In the locomotive shops ' . . . 894 In the various processes of producing tha 29,200,000 pounds of material going into these locomotives, 851 men would get employment as follows : In steel mills ....206 In blast furnaces ......... 43 In iron mines 140 In coal and coke production ....... 60 In other work . . ... . . . . . . 400 x , . Wages for all these men would amount to $1,750,000. This -wage money going into circulation would make work in hundreds ' of other directions. Railroad development bears upon all industries. It affects hundreds of businesses, thousands of individuals. Under normal conditions, the railroads constitute a great constructive force. In creasing their facilities and improving their systems results in stimulating all industry and business and automatically creates work for innumerable persons in many occupations. Increased industrial activity swells passenger and freight traf fic. This means more trains and real work for additional crews. In turn, it necessitates more locomotives and cars, increased equip ment, erection of new and remodeling of old stations, reduction of grades and curves, elimination of grade crossings, construction of sidings in producing territories, increased passenger and freight terminal facilities. The welfare of the people and the prosperity of the railroads are closely linked. The railroads find their prosperity in the gen eral welfare. They seek not to decrease, but to increase, employ ment. Communicate in person, by letter, or otherwise TODAY with your elected representatives at Harrisburg and Trenton. Ask them to repeal the Full Crew Laws. Call attention to the fact that, of 282 editorials received to date, 229 urgethe repeal of the laws. Let all get together to start the wheels of industry turning to open wide the doors to prosperity.
