Caption: Interested Spectators and Clinching the Merger

Source/Date: Railroad Democracy (later title is Labor), left image January 13 1931 and right image June 2, 1936

Ultimate Source(if different): Left image St. Louis Star; right image Philadelphia record

Creator: Left image, Daniel S. Bishop; right image Jerry Doyle

Remarks: I have combined these two images from 1931 and 1936 because they capture the unions' concerns with mergers. Compensation or "dismissal pay" helped dissolve opposition.
