A wELL-MANAGED TRADE UNION

Philadelphia Ledger.
Chief Ar.hurs speech TO the railroad
trainmen at Terra Haute goes far TO-
ward explaining why the Engineers
Bro herhood. Of which he is The head,
approaches so much nearer toward The
ideal trades union than any other and
exercises so much influence with so
lHtle fricticn. Ii is because o. the hign
morals and perfect discipline maintain
cd among the members. 1t IS well
known that Mr.. ArthuTs policy IS 10
AVOID strikes. and the few that have oc-
Cured among locomotive engineers
have usually been aga.ns. his advice. II
moi against his authority, as he explains
in the case of the trouble on the Pant
system. which Debs made the basis Tor
an attack on him. and which was caused
bv the .reachery Of the men thems Ives.
MIR. Arthur and his associates seem 10
conduct their NEGOTIATIONS win the rail-
road companies in d business-iIke way
which does not suggest tyranny on one
hand or insifbord nation On the 0tler,
but STRAIGHTFORWARD agreement De-
tween the contracting parties.
To brotherhood makes written con-
tracts. and has lO7 now in force. II
the provisions Of these contracts are
broken it is easy TO see which party
is 10 blame and # there Is an equlia-
HE disposition on each side TO adjust

important. however IS the Brother
hoods plan Of making its members in
djgDensable by keeping them up 10 the
highest standard of efficiency when II
does by enforcing strict rules OF con-
dnct T. IS constantly raising their
moral standard. which almost necessar-
iIv carries with f. the standard OF eff
Cheney and in one year expelled 30
members for drunkenness alone. This
base,t,ng sin OF workingmen Is a cap
iral crime in an engineer, who needs
TO keep his head perfectly clear in or
der 20 carry the hundreds OF lives in
his charge safely through a succession
az perils. and it is this strict enforce
nent of discipline on one hand and OF
contracts on the other that gives he

that with o current Of 30 ampcrcs and

$50 amperes and 20 volts. the bronze.
yellow nitridc Is obtained. With 1000

temperature rises above the point OF
decomposition Of this substance. and
the carbide Is formed free from nitro.
