<br />RESOLUTION
<br />WHEREAS: The South Bend and Northern Indiana. Railway Company has ordered a decrease of eleven
<br />"runs" in theSouth Bend street car service, and
<br />WHEREAS: This action will, without a doubt, deprive South Bend citizens of adequate street car
<br />service and will be the cause of much inconvenience and confusion to these same
<br />citizens, and
<br />WHEREAS: This action has been found to be largely retaliatory - - the result of an arbitration
<br />order refunding back salaries to employees of the street care company, and
<br />WHEREAS:
<br />This
<br />action will work considerable hardship on street car employees, resulting in a
<br />boss
<br />of income to
<br />them all d consequently, a corresponding loss to South Bend business,
<br />and
<br />WHEREAS;
<br />`The
<br />hardships that
<br />the winter season have upon the citizens surely will not be light-
<br />ened
<br />by the cut in
<br />transportation service, therefore, be it
<br />RESOLVED: --That
<br />Studebaker Local
<br />#5 go on record as condemning this unjust and vengeful action
<br />by the
<br />South Bend
<br />and Nathern Indiana Railway Co., and be it further
<br />RE9OLVE1: That the Secretary of Studebaker Local 15 send: copies of this resolution to the mayor
<br />council members, the South Bend and Northern Indiana Railway Co. and to the press;
<br />and that the Secretary ask them ( the mayor and members of the council) to act, not

<br />service and not put South Bend transportation back twenty years.
