Built National Prosperity This is a big American freight engine. J It is an achievement of AMERICAN INVENTIVE GENIUS. It is built to HAUL LONG TRAINS loaded with the products of Amer- fean industry from the mines, farms, mills and factories to the markets of the country, and to the seaboard for shipment across the seas. In all the wonderful history of American industrial progress NO PIECE OF MACHINERY HAS PERFORMED SUCH SERVICE AS THE BIG FREIGHT LOCOMOTIVE. Freight is carriéd on our railroads at the LOWEST RATES IN THE WORLD, while we pay our railroad workers the HIGHEST WAGES IN THE WORLD. A TON OF FREIGHT IN THE EAST IS CARRIED THREE MILES FOR THE COST OF A TWO-CENT POSTAGE STAMP. Cheap transportation is one of the biggest builders of our prosperity. The big freight engine with its enormous tractive power, the big steel freight car with its great carrying capacity, and the heavy rails and rock-ballasted roadbed to support the weight of the great engines and heavy trains—these are the achievements of American industrial genius which have given us low freight rates and broad markets, and have enabled us to put our products in the markets of the world in competition with foreign manufacturers. But now come “well-meaning but short-sighted leaders of American railroad workers who say to the railroad managers: “SHORTEN YOUR FREIGHT TRAINS so that the enginemen and miles pay in eight hours as they now do in tem hours.” To the State Legislatures these same spokesmen for the railroad work- ers say: Pass laws LIMITING THE LENGTH OF FREIGHT TRAINS—we oppose big tonnage trains.” To the Farmers, Manufacturers, and Merchants they say: : “With shorter freight trains railroads can move your products faster to the markets.” =~ ' To the American Public that pays every dollar of the railroad bill (and 44 cemts of every dollar paid for transportation is for wages), they sa YALL that the railroads Bave to do to meet our demands for higher wages is to shorten ‘their trains, move the freight more rapidly and eseape the penalty of overtime wages.” What world be the result of taking these leaders of the 350, 000 train employes at Shiels word—shorten freight trains so that they can be run her speed i peed number of trains ‘to handle the same tonnage would eall for more employes to do the same work, more tracks, larger yards and terminals, more supervision, and it is plain that there would be more con- gestion of trafflo and greater hazards in train operation.
