THE WATCH ORDER.
There Is Some Objection to the Recent
Rigid Orders of the Ruck Island
Road Regarding the Magnetic

Road Regarding the Magnetic
Shields.
Apropos of the recent orders from
Gen. Superintendent Royce, of the C.,
R. |. & P, regarding the regulation of
time pieces used by engineers, conduc-
tors. train dlspatchers. ETC., and the COM
pulsory provision for magnetic shields in
all weather carried by such employees of
the company, the results of an attempt to
compel the use of the shield among the
switch engineers of the c., & N. W. may
be int sting. The attempt there to
make such exactions is meeting with
great opposition. An exchange says:
In response to notices from the asss-
tant superintendent of power and ma,
chinery, number of the forty switch en-
gineers employed by the road in Chicago
have sent in q protest against the compul>
sorry use of the shield They say they
have used their present watches for years,
and can work by them as effectually as
ever. These watches. they claim, will
not meet the requirements of the rule
ordering the use of the shield, and would
have TO be replaced ny new. They obs
| Ject to being put TO the expense of a
change. The pay we receive for our
labor barely allows US to live decently
and pay our honest debts" the protest
reads.
| Another motive Of the engineers for
objecting TO the use of the shield arises
from the methods originally employed to
introduce it. Two years ago, the story
is, the owners of the patent circulated the
statement that the steel and iron of en-
gines prevented an ordinary watch from
Keeping correct time, and that protection
from magnetic and electric influences
could be had only by the use of one of
their anti-magnetic shields. The firm
was believed to have followed this up by
distributing 5000 among certain mem
bers of Division No 80, of the Brothers
hood of Locomotive Engineers to secure
their influence in introducing the
shield. The Engineers convention in
1887 condemned the action of these
memuefs' Dy some means, IL Is SAID,
those Interested in the shield afterwsrCi
obtained the letter heads of the organza-
ton, to which the names of John Wan
del, chief engineer, and Oliver Long, as.
sistant, were signed in blank. Filled in
with recommendations of the patent,
these letter heads were mailed to engi
neers. Wandel and Long were suspend
ed from the brotherhood for ten months
Although the shield is now generally
in use among the road engineers, the
switch engineers who have not procured
them are inclined to make these expos
ures another reason for not adopting
the appliance. So strong is theil
feeling on the subject that it i.
said they will strike before submitting.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov % The Star
says: "A pretty strong candidate for the
position of government printer under the
new administration is said to be Mr. W. NJ.
Meredith, the president of the Western En-
craving and printing company at Chicago.
He has been foreman in several newspaper
offices and is said.to be an expert practical
printer. Other reasons given for his APP
pointment are that he was in Gen. Harri-
sons regiment during the war, has since
been on friendly terms with the president
elect and was one of the most pronounced of
the few Harrison men of Chicago when that
city was wild with support of Judge
Gresham" 1t is claimed, however, that his
appointment depends on Clarkson, of Iowa,
whose friends say he can have the place for
himself or any one whom he chooses to name.
