LICENSING ENGINEERS.
Railway Men Think such q Plan WouI,


Railway Men Think Such Plan Would Not
He Practicable
PHILADELPHIA, March 8.-The recent railroad
troubles have caused a revival of the plan of IL
censine locomotive engineers, the licenses to be
issued by the federal government and bestowed
upon none but competent men whose abilities
are to be judged by a federalboa of examiners
The strenuous efforts made by the companies 10
ill the places of the strikers have probably
caused the move at this time. It is claimed that
as marine engineers hold their positions by vir-
tue of federal license, and that in some States
stationary engineers are compelled to take out
State licenses, that it is equally just and fair
that locomotive engineers, who hold far
more responsible positions, should be controlled
by the restrictions. A bill has been pre-
pared. and will be offered in Congress. embrac-
ing the following provisions: To bring all
branches of engineers under government
troll; to provide for board of examiners: TO
compel all railroads to employ only licensed en-
eineers; for the payment of engineers graded ac-
cordng TO ability, length Of service and skill; TO
empower them TO revoke the diplomas for
cause; to establisha commissioner of engineer
ing. to rank next below Cabinet officer; to en-
dow the board with detective powers; to investi-
gate all violations of the act. and to hold exam
lners responsible to the government for the
diplomas given the engineers.
The idea has been considered at some length
by railroad officials and engineers. and is viewed
in various lights. VIca-pre.dent and General
Manager Mcleod, of the Reading road claimed
that the scheme was not feasible. and said: Let
the government keen it's hands off We
control our own road and give the public better
service by examining and hiring own en-
ployes."
Master Mechanic Forsythe. of the Chicago,
Blu Ellington & Quincy railroad. also thought the
plan impracticaole.
J. ]. Delaney and Henry Walton. prominent
members of Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men. and who are practical engineers claimed
that the bill would be of service to the men in
that no unjust discrimination could be made
against . competent engineer.
Master w orkman Vernon and road foreman
Colson, of the Philadelphia d Reading railroad,
stated that the scheme would probably be feas-
Ible if politics could be kept out of It. The
strongest opposition to the scheme came from T.
" Powdery. He said: 1.-THE idea is not feas-
lille unless the government assumes control of
all railroads, and then subjects the directors
