1t Is, however, the opinion of those who ought

tho managers of the road and the engineers
arosc from tic fact that tic forn,er hai deSfAcd
upon system of educating the ,lrcncn for cu-

for promotion. The Brotherllootl Of Engineers
did not like this Arrangement, "a they eousId-
cred it al infringement IN tile rights Of the

tntcd nearly all tho appointments
Of engineers. Some Of the Eo,-l,ca.,
