lieve you call them-that has always
been pretty good source of comfort to
me" said a man at leading Topeka
hotel, one day last week. This mans
name is known to great majority Of
the Advocate and News readers, but Is
withheld at his request. He is an au-
thority on other matters than the labor
question, but what he says In that line
Is not by any means idle talk.
my business has made considerable
of a traveller of me-" he continued In eX-
planation of the above remark. Il have
never been in an accident, but every trip
/ take reminds me of the remarkably
small number of accidents that occur,
considering the amount Of railroad
travel in this country. don't think
that we give enough credit to the EN-
ployes of'the roads for this. We are ac-
custoned to speak of 1t frequently, and
in nine cases out Of ten the railroad sys-
tenn gets the credit.
NOW, from what l know of these
brotherhoods, competency Is the first re-
luirement for membership; at least, l
should think that this would be so or
they would never be as strong as they
now are in Kansas. When l get on a
train and feel that the men who are
running it and those who are otherwise
responsible for its safety are backed by
powerful organizations which guarantee
that they are not being overworked in
