Dave
Mitchum
had
always
complained
about
injustice
,
because
,
he
said
,
he
had
always
had
bad
luck
.
He
explained
it
by
speaking
darkly
about
the
conspiracy
of
the
big
fellows
,
who
would
never
give
him
a
chance
,
though
he
did
not
explain
just
whom
he
meant
by
"
the
big
fellows
.
"
Seniority
of
service
was
his
favorite
topic
of
complaint
and
sole
standard
of
value
;
he
had
been
in
the
railroad
business
longer
than
many
men
who
had
advanced
beyond
him
;
this
,
he
said
,
was
proof
of
the
social
system
’
s
injustice
—
though
he
never
explained
just
what
he
meant
by
"
the
social
system
.
"
He
had
worked
for
many
railroads
,
but
had
not
stayed
long
with
any
one
of
them
.
His
employers
had
had
no
specific
misdeeds
to
charge
against
him
,
but
had
simply
eased
him
out
,
because
he
said
,
"
Nobody
told
me
to
!
"
too
often
.
He
did
not
know
that
he
owed
his
present
job
to
a
deal
between
James
Taggart
and
Wesley
Mouch
:
when
Taggart
traded
to
Mouch
the
secret
of
his
sister
’
s
private
life
,
in
exchange
for
a
raise
in
rates
,
Mouch
made
him
throw
in
an
extra
favor
,
by
their
customary
rules
of
bargaining
,
which
consisted
of
squeezing
all
one
could
out
of
any
given
trade
.
The
extra
was
a
job
for
Dave
Mitchum
,
who
was
the
brother
-
in
-
law
of
Claude
Slagenhop
,
who
was
the
president
of
the
Friends
of
Global
Progress
,
who
were
regarded
by
Mouch
as
a
valuable
influence
on
public
opinion
.
James
Taggart
pushed
the
responsibility
of
finding
a
job
for
Mitchum
onto
Clifton
Locey
.
Locey
pushed
Mitchum
into
the
first
job
that
came
up
—
superintendent
of
the
Colorado
Division
—
when
the
man
holding
it
quit
without
notice
.
The
man
quit
when
the
extra
Diesel
engine
of
Winston
Station
was
given
to
Chick
Morrison
’
s
Special
.
"
What
are
we
going
to
do
?
"
cried
Dave
Mitchum
,
rushing
,
half
-
dressed
and
groggy
with
sleep
,
into
his
office
,
where
the
chief
dispatcher
,
the
trainmaster
and
the
road
foreman
of
engines
were
waiting
for
him
.
The
three
men
did
not
answer
.
They
were
middle
-
aged
men
with
years
of
railroad
service
behind
them
.
A
month
ago
,
they
would
have
volunteered
their
advice
in
any
emergency
;
but
they
were
beginning
to
learn
that
things
had
changed
and
that
it
was
dangerous
to
speak
.
"
What
in
hell
are
we
going
to
do
?
"
