The union provides support for members and their families. There is no valid reason why the union should not exist given the many benefits it provides workers.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen is
making a good record in the field of labor. Day after day it is quietly gaining new victories. Rail- road companies generally respect it, for its history is not one of rupture and strife, and they recog- nize in it an organization capable of doing a vast amount of good, while those helpless ones who have been left dependent upon its aid, are its friends, indeed. There are a hundred reasons why it should exist, and we challenge the world to give a single one why it should not.
