[PRCo] How we feel about Numero Uno

[Fred Schneider]

Electric Railway Journal, volume 74, Number 9, August 1930:    
"Pittsburgh Railways trainmen defeated a proposal that they work on a  
6-day instead of a 7-day schedule to save jobs of 300 now or soon to  
be placed on the extra list."

Two things strike me as being interesting.   First off, when you have  
3000 or so trainmen, it isn't hard to find enough high seniority men  
who don't care about youngsters.   Second, they worked long days and  
long weeks to earn a living but it was still heaven compared to being  
on the wrong end of a coal scoop on a steam locomotive or suffering  
in a steel mill.
