S. o. Pickens, one Of the attorneys Of the
Pennsylvania Company, expresses the opin-
ion that the American Railway Union suits
against +. G. Darlington, superintendent or
the Indianapolis division of the Pennsyll-
vania lines, have gone as far as they Will,
as there was nothing originally to base the
suits ON. In one case j.. O., Van Wrinkle,
asked Mr.. Darlington for the record OF a
dismissed Panhandle employee who had ap-
piled for work, and Mr.. Darlington simply
sent the record as ii appeared on the Pan
and in the other case Ii is stated that the
basis of the suit is of even less Importance.
Still, MIR. PickenS would prefer to have both
cases come to trial. that the meaning OF the
law as regards the record OF employees may
be fully understood by all parties.

mitted to run at a rate of speed exceeding
thirty miles per hour in any branch OF
service. Engines running on one side, or
without parallel rods, must not exceed
dead engines, disconnected, must not eX-
coed twenty miles per hour. Engines Oper-
ating upon branches or in yard service dis
tant from shops, must not be ordered over
the main line to the shops for repairs until
a representative of the locomotive and car
department has examined them and report
ed that they are safe to be moved. In max
ing such examination, particular attention
must be given to the inspection of the tires.
An engine with a fiat tire must not be run
over the road under any circumstances.
When yard engines are moved outside or
yard limits they will in no case be allowed
dated engines running over twenty miles an
hour are very severe on tracks.
