Unfortunately,.not all of our stations on the railroad have a sufficient number of ern- ployes to properly maintain an Employes' Club or organization, and, necessarily, the employes located at these smaller stations must belong to the nearest Club. Thia has been the lot of the writer, who, during the past several years has belonged to several Clubs, consequently the views herein expressed are from an employe who has not had thc privilege of actually living in a town or city where Club headquarters were located and who must depend upon the proceedings of the Club meetings he has at- tended and upon the actual help given him by these Clubs, in order to form an idea of what the Clubs mean to the Company and to the employes. My experiences as a small town agent and telegrapher have convinced me of the value of the Clubs, and that they are doing a wonderful work in assisting the agent .with his solicitation, checking short hanls, helping the agent in securing routing orders and working, as they do, in close cooperation with the division freight and passenger agent's off ice. In giving you just one of the many instances of the value of the Club, I have in mind a shipment of sash and doors, LCL, moving from a point on our line approxi- mately fifty miles away. I called upon the consignee of this shipment, asking for a routing order, so that we might protect the routing from the billing station. He advised, however, that he mould route via truck line, inasmuch as their service was quicker and there would be no trans- fers enroute. My personal solicitation failing, I immediately handled with the nearest Club, and on the following morning the consignee received a nice letter from the Club president, actively soliciting routing on the shipment, giving a rather definite arrival time of the shipment and other information. We secured the business. Without belittling my own eeorts in this instance, I am sure that, had I not handled the matter with the Club, the shipment would have gone to the truck line. The rcvenae derived from this shipment mas small, but the manner in which tve handled has con- tributed considerably to the securing of other bur~ineafrom this consignee, and I do not hesitate in say in^ that I beIieve it mas the Club letterhead, with its message of so- licitation, that secured this business. AA in all organizations, me find traces of criticism of the purposes of the Clnbs and their activities, and some hints that perhaps the Clubs are nothing but company anions. These Club meetings, you will find, are devoted entirely to the purpose for which they were organized, primarily that of securing more business for our railroad and, incident- ally, making our jobs safer and more of them, and after the business of the meeting is Avar xmn &ll finJ thn momher= oninvine n cn~ialhnnr nf ontortninmont and nloncnro You mill find members of every organized craft on the railroad attending these meetings and engaged in the one common work, that of solicitation, advertising onr railroad, and combating the onregdated truck.
