State of Mind or Polish railway personnel
50X1-HUM
Old railwaymen are opposed to the employment of women as traffic
controlers (DYZURNI RUCHU) and locomotive drivers, since
experience during the past few months has shown that they
cause many accidents which could be easily avoided,
2, 0 d lecamotive drivers are complaining of the fact that members
off P (Association of Polish Youth)
rec ve u ccer promo on an pre-war personnel,.. As one of them
said: 50X1-HUM
"Afte 17 yearst work as stoker and drivers mate I was
promoted to the post of locomotive driver, Now a youngster
is promoted to driving long-distance trains after a mere
5 year's service, No wonder they seize up locomotives
and stop between stations, Before the war there were at
most four such accidents in a year - now there were 17
such cases in WARSAW and 4 in CIECHANOW during July alone,.
To-day again a ZUP team has caused their locomotive to
seize up and they got stubk on the way, The fines will
cost the driver 200 zloteohis mate 150 zl? and the stoker
100 zlote, They will have to work for a month without pay",
3, Railwaymen are very dissatis2ied with the great discrepancies in
rates of pay. To quote:
"Those who were get 340 zlote a month have had a cut
of 60 zl, a month,/td' who have over 1,000 zl, a month have
received a rise, Till now they had to oat dry bread ,And
black coffee - what on earth will they eat now?"
4, A Soviet Dance-and-Song Team organized concerts fer railwaymen
in WARSAW and SZCZECIN. During the performances both in
WARSAW and SZCZECIN the team wa0 pelted with tomatoes and
rotten fruit so that further performances had to be abandoned,
